When a thin display device is used as a monitor for a home theater, it is necessary to reproduce sound with a sense of presence. Speakers are required. The thin display device has a housing (depth dimension).
Therefore, it is impossible to mount the large-diameter speaker in a thin casing of a thin display device. For this reason, it has been difficult for an integrated or separate built-in speaker built in the thin display device to reproduce sound with a sense of realism. Also, in order to reproduce realistic sounds, a large-scale surround system is required separately from the thin display device.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a thin display device with a surround function by integrating a thin display device to a wall or ceiling and a surround speaker or a speaker and an amplifier. Therefore, it is possible to easily reproduce realistic sound and to provide the viewer with a sense of unity of the image and the sound.

In order to provide a more realistic sound, a speaker for surround sound or an amplifier and a speaker are integrated with the wall mounting member separately from the speaker provided in the display device in order to provide a more realistic sound. Wall-mounted member for a thin display device.

The present invention is also directed to a ceiling-hanging member for fixing the display device to the ceiling for the purpose of suspending the thin display device from the ceiling and viewing an image, so as to provide more realistic sound. A ceiling suspension member for a thin display device, wherein a surround speaker or an amplifier and a speaker are integrated with a ceiling mounting member separately from the speaker provided in the display device.

The present invention is also directed to a stand-alone type mounting member (stand) for installing and using the thin display device on a table or the like so as to provide a more realistic sound. An installation member for a thin display device, wherein a speaker for surround sound or an amplifier and a speaker are integrated with a stand separately from the speakers provided in the device.

The present invention also provides a signal transmission unit for inputting a sound signal transmitted from a source reproduction device to the mounting member with a surround function using, for example, infrared or radio waves. A mounting member for a thin display device with a surround function, characterized in that a signal receiving section is provided on the side of the mounting member with a surround function so as to be connected and operated remotely (wirelessly).

Further, the present invention is characterized in that a reproducing apparatus such as a DVD or a CD having a built-in audio decoder capable of outputting a surround effect is integrated with the mounting member having a surround function, and a thin display with a surround function is provided. Mounting member for equipment.

The present invention further provides an external speaker output terminal so as to be able to connect another surround speaker separately from the surround speaker integrated with the mounting member in order to provide a more realistic sound. A mounting member for a thin display device with a surround function, characterized by the following.
