Abstract

Provided is a display device, including: a device main body including a display, the display including a display surface, the display surface being configured to display an image; and a stand configured to support the device main body. The stand includes a supported portion, the supported portion being slidably supported on a surface opposite to the display surface of the device main body, and a connection portion, the connection portion being rotatable with respect to the supported portion around a hinge shaft.

Claims

1. A display device, comprising:

a device main body including a display, the display including a display surface, the display surface being configured to display an image; and

a stand configured to support the device main body, wherein

the stand includes

a supported portion, the supported portion being slidably supported on a surface opposite to the display surface of the device main body, and

a connection portion, the connection portion being rotatable with respect to the supported portion around a hinge shaft.

2. The display device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a lock unit configured to lock one of the supported portion and the connection portion with respect to the other of the connection portion and the supported portion within a rotation range.

3. The display device according to claim 2, wherein

a plurality of concave portions are formed on one of the supported portion and the connection portion, the plurality of concave portions being distant from each other, and

the lock unit is mounted on the other of the connection portion and the supported portion, the lock unit engages with one of the concave portions, and the lock unit is locked.

4. The display device according to claim 3, further comprising:

a lock pin as the lock unit, the lock pin being inserted in the other of the connection portion and the supported portion.

5. The display device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a friction mechanism configured to generate friction between the connection portion and the supported portion.

6. The display device according to claim 1, wherein

a mounted hole for wall-hanging is formed on the connection portion of the stand.

7. The display device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a rail member provided on the opposite surface of the device main body, the rail member being configured to slidably support the supported portion, wherein

the rail member is provided on the device main body, the rail member extending from one end portion to the other end portion in a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction of the display.

8. The display device according to claim 7, wherein

the rail member is bent.

9. The display device according to claim 8, wherein

the rail member is provided such that a direction in which one end in the longitudinal direction extends is orthogonal to a direction in which the other end extends.
