Abstract

A display apparatus includes a display; a fixing bracket configured to be fixed to a wall; and a wall mount coupled to the fixing bracket, the wall mount being configured support the display, to be set in a close contact mode in which the wall mount is adjacent to the wall, and to be set a tilting mode in which the wall mount is tilted with respect to the wall. The display includes: a first accommodating portion recessed in a rear surface of the display and configured to accommodate the wall mount and the fixing bracket; and a wall mount coupling part provided within the first accommodating part and configured to be coupled to the wall mount. The rear surface of the display is brought into close contact with the wall when the wall mount is set to the close contact mode.

Claims

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a fixing bracket configured to be fixed to a wall;

a wall mount configured to be coupled to the fixing bracket to be set in a close contact mode in which the wall mount is adjacent to the wall, and to be set a tilting mode in which the wall mount is tilted with respect to the wall; and

a display configured to be supported by the wall mount,

wherein the display comprises;

a first accommodating portion recessed in a rear surface of the display and configured to accommodate the wall mount and the fixing bracket; and

a wall mount coupling part provided within the first accommodating portion and configured to be coupled to the wall mount,

wherein the rear surface of the display is brought into close contact with the wall when the wall mount is set to the close contact mode, and

wherein the wall mount comprises;

a first member comprising a shaft detachably coupled to the fixing bracket;

a tilting member comprising a first rotating portion rotatably coupled to the first member; and

a second member comprising a second rotating portion rotatably coupled to the first member and a guide slit configured to guide movement of one end portion of the tilting member.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first accommodating portion has a depth corresponding to a sum of a thickness of the fixing bracket and a thickness of the wall mount.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first accommodating portion has a shape corresponding to a shape of the wall mount and the fixing bracket coupled together.

4. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the display further comprises a first accommodating portion cover configured to cover the first accommodating portion when the display is detached from the wall mount.

5. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the wall mount comprises a coupling protrusion configured to be coupled to the wall mount coupling part to support the display.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the display further comprises a second accommodating portion recessed at one side end portion of the rear surface of the display and configured to accommodate a cable connected to an external device, and

wherein the second accommodating portion comprises a cable guiding portion configured to guide the cable to be drawn out of the display through one side surface of the display.

7. The display apparatus of claim 6, wherein the second accommodating portion has a minimum depth corresponding to a thickness of the cable.

8. The display apparatus of claim 6, wherein the display further comprises a second accommodating portion cover configured to cover the second accommodating portion.

9. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the tilting member further comprises a guide protrusion accommodated in the guide slit, and

wherein the guide slit is further configured to guide movement of the guide protrusion.

10. The display apparatus of claim 9, wherein the guide protrusion is slidably or rollably coupled to the guide slit.

11. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the fixing bracket comprises a shaft coupling portion to which the shaft is coupled, and

wherein the shaft coupling portion comprises a safety device configured to selectively secure the shaft such that the shaft is selectively detached from the shaft coupling portion.

12. The display apparatus of claim 11, wherein the shaft comprises:

a fixing portion pressed by the safety device so that the wall mount is fixed to the fixing bracket when the wall mount is coupled with the fixing bracket; and

a pressing portion configured to press the safety device so that fixing of the safety device to the shaft is released when the wall mount is detached from the fixing bracket.

13. The display apparatus of claim 11, wherein the wall mount is configured to be released from the safety device as the shaft rotates.

14. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first member comprises a rotating protrusion rotatably coupled to the second rotating portion, and

wherein the rotating protrusion is coupled to the second rotating portion to be rotatable with respect to the second member when a force is applied to the second rotating portion.

15. A display apparatus comprising:

a fixing bracket configured to be fixed to a wall;

a wall mount configured to be coupled to the fixing bracket to be set in a close contact mode in which the wall mount is adjacent to the wall, and to be set in a tilting mode in which the wall mount is tilted with respect to the wall; and

a display configured to be supported by the wall mount,

wherein the display comprises a first accommodating portion recessed in a rear surface of the display and configured to accommodate the wall mount and the fixing bracket,

wherein the first accommodating portion has a depth corresponding to a sum of a thickness of the fixing bracket and a thickness of the wall mount, and

wherein the wall mount comprises;

a first member comprising a shaft detachably coupled to the fixing bracket;

a second member comprising a second rotating portion rotatably coupled to the first member and a guide slit configured to guide movement of one end portion of the tilting member.

16. The display apparatus of claim 15, wherein the first accommodating portion has a shape corresponding to a shape of the wall mount and the fixing bracket coupled together.

17. The display apparatus of claim 15, wherein the display further comprises a second accommodating portion recessed at a lower end portion of the rear surface of the display and configured to accommodate a cable connected to an external device.

18. A display apparatus comprising:

a fixing bracket configured to be fixed to a wall;

a wall mount configured to be coupled to the fixing bracket; and

a display configured to be supported by the wall mount,

wherein the display comprises a first accommodating portion recessed in a rear surface of the display and configured to accommodate the wall mount and the fixing bracket, and

wherein the wall mount comprises;

a first member detachably coupled to the fixing bracket;

a tilting member rotatably coupled to the first member; and

a second member rotatably coupled to the first member and comprising a guide slit configured to guide movement of an end portion of the tilting member.

19. The display apparatus of claim 18, wherein the wall mount is configured to be detachable from the fixing bracket by rotating the first member relative to the fixing bracket.
