Abstract

An example display device includes a display device stand and display device housing pivotably connected to display device stand. The display device housing is to pivot between a vertical operating position and a horizontal servicing position, and a lid portion of the display device housing is to rotatably open away from a back portion of the display device housing to provide access to components within the display device housing.

Claims

1. A display device, comprising:

a display device stand comprising a base portion and an arm assembly portion; and

a display device housing comprising a back portion and a lid portion,

wherein the display device housing is connected to the arm assembly portion and is pivotable between a vertical operating position and a horizontal servicing position,

wherein the lid portion is releasably connected to the back portion and is rotatable with respect to the back portion via a hinge assembly to provide access to the interior of the display device housing, and

wherein the lid portion comprises a display screen component.

2. The display device of claim 1, wherein the display device comprises an all-in-one computer.

3. The display device of claim 1, wherein the display device housing is substantially parallel to the base portion when the display device housing is in the horizontal servicing position, and wherein the display device housing is substantially perpendicular to the base portion when the display device housing is in the vertical operating position.

4. The display device of claim 1, wherein the back portion comprises a motherboard, central processing unit, power supply, and memory.

5. The display device of claim 1, wherein the lid portion comprises a latch assembly that releasably secures the lid portion to the back portion.

6. The display device of claim 1, wherein the display device is connected to the arm assembly via a mount assembly, and wherein the mount assembly comprises a biased button that, when depressed, unlocks the display device to enable a transition from the horizontal servicing position to the vertical operating position.

7. The display device of claim 1, wherein the display device further comprises a lift assist, sliding support, or rigid support to support the lid portion when released from the back portion.

8. An all-in-one computer, comprising:

a display device stand comprising a base portion and an arm assembly portion; and

a display device housing pivotably connected to the display device stand and comprising a back portion and a lid portion,

wherein the lid portion comprises a display screen component,

wherein the back portion comprises a motherboard, central processing unit, power supply, and memory, and

wherein the lid portion is partially detachable from the back portion and rotatable with respect to the back portion via a hinge assembly connecting the lid portion and the back portion.

9. The all-in-one computer of claim 8, wherein the display device housing is pivotable between a vertical operating position and a horizontal servicing position.

10. The all-in-one computer of claim 9, wherein the display device housing is substantially parallel to the base portion when the display device housing is in the horizontal servicing position, and wherein the display device housing is substantially perpendicular to the base portion when the display device housing is in the vertical operating position.

11. The all-in-one computer of claim 9, further comprising a locking mechanism to lock the display device housing with respect to the display device when in the horizontal servicing position.

12. The all-in-one computer of claim 8, wherein the display device housing further comprises a lift assist, sliding support, or rigid support to support the lid portion when detached from the back portion.

13. The all-in-one computer of claim 8, wherein the lid portion is able to rotate to a substantially perpendicular position with respect to the back portion when the lid portion is detached from the back portion.

14. The all-in-one computer of claim 8, wherein the arm assembly portion is connected to the back portion in a substantially central portion of the back portion.

15. A display device, comprising:

a display device stand; and

a display device housing pivotably connected to display device stand,

wherein the display device housing is to pivot between a vertical operating position and a horizontal servicing position, and

wherein a lid portion of the display device housing is to rotatably open away from a back portion of the display device housing to provide access to components within the display device housing.

16. The display device of claim 15, wherein a first side of the lid portion is connected to a first side of the back portion via a hinge assembly, and a second side of the lid portion is connected to a second side of the back portion via a latch assembly.

17. The display device of claim 16, wherein the latch assembly is manually releasable.

18. The display device of claim 15, wherein the lid portion comprises a display screen component, and wherein the back portion comprises a motherboard, central processing unit, power supply, and memory.

19. The display device of claim 15, wherein the display device comprises an all-in-one computer.

20. The display device of claim 15, wherein the display device housing further comprises a lift assist, sliding support, or rigid support.
