Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display device in which the position and angle of a display surface can be easily adjusted.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, thin display panels such as liquid crystal displays and plasma displays have come into widespread use as display means for portable personal computers. At present, the use of such a thin display panel is specified, such as stationary or embedded in a desk or a wall.

Particularly in a liquid crystal display device, since the viewing angle is limited, it is necessary to finely adjust the installation position of the display surface, the installation angle, etc. according to the observer.

For this reason, conventionally, there has been proposed one in which a liquid crystal display device is connected to a fixing mechanism such as a universal joint so that an observer can freely install the liquid crystal display device [Actual development 62. -65674]
However, there is a drawback that the fixing mechanism is rather large because the universal joint requires a predetermined length in addition to lack of stability of the installation position and angle.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and allows an observer to freely and variably set an angle and a position of a display surface, and a wall, a partition plate, and a desk. It is intended to provide a display device which can be used in various places such as, and the size of a fixing mechanism therefor can be reduced.

[0006]

A display device according to the present invention comprises a fixed unit having an angle portion having a U-shaped cross section which can be hung on a wall, and two rail portions extending in parallel with each other from both end positions of the angle portion. And a display unit including a display panel in a display frame body, each rail portion of the fixed unit and each lateral side surface of the display frame body of the display unit each including a rotating arm and a swinging arm. Of the display unit, wherein one end of the rotating arm is rotatably connected to the lower end of the side face of the display frame of the display unit and the other end is the upper end of the rail of the fixed unit. Connected in a rotatable state to
One end of the swing arm is swingably connected to the slit provided on the side surface of the display frame of the display unit, and the other end is swingably connected to the slit provided on the rail of the fixed unit. The rocking arm is provided with fixing means for fixing the arm mechanism by prohibiting the rocking motion of the rocking arm with respect to the side surface of the display frame or the rail portion.

[0007]

In the display device of the present invention, the position and angle of the display panel in the display unit can be moved within an appropriate range by the arm mechanism composed of the swing arm and the rotary arm, and by the fixing means installed on the swing arm. , The position and angle of this display panel can be freely set.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overall image of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, the display unit 1 is connected to the fixed unit 2 via a swing arm 3a and a rotary arm 4a. One end 5a of the swing arm 3a can freely slide on a slit 6a provided on the side surface of the display unit 1, and is connected to the display unit 1 by a fixing screw 5a which can be tightened and fixed at an appropriate position. ,
The slit 7 provided at the fixed unit 2 at the other end 10a
It is connected so as to slide on a. Both ends 9a and 8a of the rotary arm 4a are connected to the display unit 1 and the fixed unit 2, respectively. In the figure, only the left arm mechanism of the device of the present invention is shown, but similar mechanisms corresponding to 3a to 10a are also provided on the right side. Further, an angle portion 11 having a U-shaped cross section that can be hung on a wall is provided on the upper portion of the fixed unit 2.

2 and 3 show a state in which the angle portion 11 of the display device of one embodiment of the present invention is hooked on a partition plate or the like and used.

FIG. 2 shows the case where the display unit 1 is used in a folded state, and FIG. 3 shows the display unit 1.
It shows the case of pulling out to the front and using.

In order to change the state of FIG. 2 to the state of FIG. 3, first, the fixing screw 5a is loosened and the display unit 1 is pulled out toward the front while sliding on the slit 6a, so that an appropriate position (distance) and angle can be obtained. Fixing screw 5a
It can be realized by tightening and fixing. Further, by fixing with the fixing screws in this manner, the display position and the angle are stable and stable.

Next, FIG. 4 shows a state in which the display device of one embodiment of the present invention is used on a desk or the like.

In the figure, in the state shown in FIG. 1, the fixing screw 5a is loosened and the fulcrum 10a of the swing arm 3a is slit 7.
It can be obtained by sliding on a in the direction of the fulcrum 8a, applying it to the end of the slit 7a to stand the display unit, and tightening and fixing the fixing screw 5a at an appropriate angle.

According to FIG. 5, the display device of one embodiment of the present invention goes from a folded state (a) to a state (b) pulled out to the front, and then to a state (c) where the display surface is further angled. Transition.

According to FIG. 6, the display device according to one embodiment of the present invention shifts from a state (a) of being mounted on a partition plate to be used and a state of being placed on a desk or the like (b).

[0017]

According to the present invention, since the small adjusting means including the arm mechanism is used, the observer can freely stabilize the position and angle of the display unit while downsizing the entire display device. The display device can be used in a wide range without limiting the use place.
