Abstract

A display apparatus capable of attaching a portable terminal includes: a display unit having sliding protrusions formed on a bottom surface, for displaying a current screen of the portable terminal; and a portable terminal connecting unit having sliding grooves formed on a top surface and combined with the sliding protrusions, being slidingly inserted into a lower portion of the display unit by an associative operation of the sliding protrusions and the sliding grooves, and having an accommodation space formed to accommodate and connect the portable terminal. Therefore, the portable terminal can be controlled using the separate display apparatus connected to the portable terminal, and the portable terminal can be connected to the separate display apparatus without being exposed outside. The separate display apparatus may supply power to the portable terminal when the battery of the portable terminal is discharged.

Claims

1. A display apparatus capable of attaching a portable terminal, the apparatus comprising:

a display unit having sliding protrusions formed on a bottom surface, for displaying a current screen of the portable terminal; and

a portable terminal connecting unit having sliding grooves formed on a top surface and combined with the sliding protrusions, being slidingly inserted into a lower portion of the display unit by an associative operation of the sliding protrusions and the sliding grooves, and having an accommodation space formed to accommodate and connect the portable terminal.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display unit or the portable terminal connecting unit includes a battery unit formed on a bottom surface, for supplying power to the display unit or the portable terminal connecting unit.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the display unit includes:

a power button for controlling power supplied by the battery unit to the display unit;

a speaker for outputting a sound generated by software driven in the portable terminal; and

a volume control button for controlling volume of the sound outputted through the speaker.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the portable terminal connecting unit includes:

a connector mounted on the accommodation space and connected to the portable terminal, for bi-directionally transmitting screen data of the portable terminal and the display unit between the portable terminal and the display unit; and

a camera hole formed to be correspondent, to a position of a camera provided in the portable terminal 200.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the connector is connected to the battery unit so that the power supplied by the battery unit may be transferred to the portable terminal.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the battery unit is detachable.
