Abstract

A display device includes a body, a support, and a first elastic unit. The support is rotatably disposed on a back side of the body and has a first slip stopper. The first elastic unit is pivotally connected to the body and the support. The display device is supported on the a working surface by a bottom of the body and the first slip stopper. The first elastic unit generates an elastic force to pull the support toward the body when the first slip stopper moves away from the working surface.

2. The display device of claim 1, wherein the support further comprises a first pivot and a first connector, the first elastic unit is pivotally connected to the first pivot and the first connector, the first connector is fixed on the back side of the body.

3. The display device of claim 2, wherein an end portion of the first connector is disposed corresponding to the first pivot and comprises a curved portion, the first pivot comprises a bump, the curved portion limits a displacement of the bump when the first pivot rotates.

4. The display device of claim 2, wherein an end portion of the first connector is disposed corresponding to the first pivot and comprises a bump, the first pivot comprises a curved portion, the curved portion limits the displacement of the bump when the first pivot rotates.

5. The display device of claim 2, wherein an end portion of the first connector is disposed corresponding to the first pivot and comprises a first positioning point, the first pivot comprises a second positioning point, and the support and the body are parallel with each other in a storage state when the first positioning point contacts the second positioning point.

6. The display device of claim 2, wherein the display device further comprises a second elastic unit, the support further comprises a second pivot and a second connector, the second elastic unit is pivotally connected to the second pivot and the second connector, the second connector is fixed on the back side of the body, wherein the first elastic unit and the second elastic unit together generate the elastic force to pull the support toward the body when the first slip stopper moves away from the working surface.

7. The display device of claim 6, wherein the support is a U-shaped support, the first pivot and the first connector are disposed at one end of the U-shaped support while the second pivot and the second connector are disposed at the other end of the U-shaped support.

8. The display device of claim 1, wherein the display device further comprises an extending support disposed on the back side of the body opposite to the support and inrotatably with respect to the support, an angle is included between the extending support and the support, wherein a first angle is included between the body and the support when the body and the support are supported on the working surface, a second angle is included between the body and the extending support when the body and the extending support are supported on the working surface, the second angle is greater than the first angle.

9. The display device of claim 1, wherein the display device further comprises an extending support and a third elastic unit, the extending support is rotatably disposed on the back side of the body and a third slip stopper is disposed at a bottom of the extending support, the third elastic unit is pivotally connected to the body and the extending support, wherein the display device is supported on the working surface by a bottom of the body and the third slip stopper, the third elastic unit generates an elastic force to pull the extending support toward the body when the third slip stopper moves away from the working surface.

10.
