Description

  Embodiments described herein relate generally to a display device and a display device stand.

  A display device such as a television generally has a planar shape with a small depth with respect to the vertical and horizontal directions. A stand is used to install such a display device. By using the stand, the flat display device can be installed in a state (substantially upright) near vertical and the screen can be visually recognized.

Here, in order to stably hold the flat display device, it is preferable that the stand has a width (depth) before and after the display device.
However, if the width of the stand becomes large, the stand will protrude greatly before and after the display device, which is not preferable from the viewpoint of aesthetics and effective use of space.

  Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 are a front view and a side view illustrating a display device according to an embodiment. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a state where the display device stand according to the embodiment is viewed from the front side (front F side). FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating a state in which the display device stand according to the embodiment is viewed from the back side (back B side). FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a cross section of the display device according to the embodiment.

  Here, a front side direction F (a direction in which the screen of the display element 13 can be visually recognized) of the display device body 10 to be described later is a front F, and a rear side direction B (a direction opposite to the direction F) is a rear B. The front and rear are directions including both directions F and B.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the display device according to the embodiment includes a display device body 10 and a stand 20.

  The display device main body 10 is, for example, a flat display device (such as a television) and is installed on the stand 20 in a state (substantially upright) close to vertical. To be precise, the display device body 10 is slightly inclined in the rear B oblique direction (for example, an angle θ of about 2 ° with respect to the vertical direction) in order to facilitate viewing by the user.

  The display device body 10 can adopt a plurality of sizes (for example, 58 inches and 65 inches). As will be described later, by making the weight 23 of the stand 20 movable, it is possible to stably hold the display device body 10 in response to a change in size (weight).

  The display device body 10 includes a front bezel 11, a back bezel 12, a display element 13, a circuit unit 14, and a speaker unit 15.

The front bezel 11 and the back bezel 12 are outer shells that accommodate the display element 13 from the front and the back. The front bezel 11 has a window (opening) for viewing the screen of the display element 13.
The display element 13 is a flat display element, for example, a liquid crystal display element or an organic EL element.
The circuit unit 14 includes a power supply circuit, a tuner, a display control circuit, and the like for displaying various images on the display element 13. The circuit unit 14 is connected to cables for supplying power, video signals, and the like.
The speaker unit 15 has an audio output mechanism (for example, a speaker).

  The stand 20 is a mechanism for fixing and supporting the display device main body 10, and as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, a pedestal 21, a support 22, a weight 23, an underbody cover 24, a weight cover 25, and a cable cover 26. , Has a handle 27.

  The pedestal 21 has a substantially rectangular flat plate shape and can be made of a metal such as iron, for example. The pedestal 21 has an upper surface (main surface), a lower surface, a front side (front F side: first side), a rear side (back B side: second side), a left side, and a right side.

  In the pedestal 21, the amount L1 of protrusion (protrusion) on the front side (front F side) of the display device body 10 is smaller than the amount L2 of protrusion on the back side (rear B side). As a result, the efficient use of the space in front F of the stand 20 and aesthetics are improved. As will be described later, the weight 23 is arranged at the rear B of the pedestal 21, so that the display device body 10 can be stably held even if the protrusion of the pedestal 21 to the front F is reduced.

  In some cases, the protrusion of the base 21 to the front F of the display device main body 10 can be made unnecessary (the base 21 is disposed only behind the front bezel 11). In this way, the utilization efficiency and aesthetics of the space around the display device are greatly improved. In any case, even when the display device main body 10 is 58 inches or 65 inches (or more), the amount L1 of the protrusion on the front side may be 60 mm or less (more preferably 30 mm or less, more preferably 15 mm or less). it can.

  Since the underbody cover 24 is disposed under the display device main body 10, the protrusion of the base 21 is almost the same as the protrusion of the underbody cover 24. That is, the amount L1 of protrusion of the pedestal 24 to the front of the underbody cover 24 is smaller than the amount L2 of protrusion of the pedestal 21 to the rear of the underbody cover 24.

The pedestal 21 has a notch 211 and a screw hole 212. The notch 211 is disposed on the rear side and serves to escape cables connected to the display device body 10 as will be described later. The screw hole 212 is for screwing the weight 23 as will be described later.
A leg is attached to the lower surface of the base 21 as necessary. The legs are preferably made of a resilient material (eg rubber legs).

  On the upper surface of the pedestal 21, a pair of support columns 22, a pair of weights 23, an underbody cover 24, a weight cover 25, a cable cover 26, and a pair of handles 27 are arranged.

A pair of support columns 22 are attached to the front F side of the base 21. The support column 22 is a fixture for fixing the display device main body 10.
The support column 22 can be made of a flat plate material (for example, metal) bent into a substantially U-shape. The support column 22 has a mounting hole 221 for fixing to the display device body 10. The display device body 10 is fixed to the mounting hole 221 through bolts, screws, or the like.
The support column 22 is slightly inclined in the rear B diagonal direction. As a result, as described above, the display device main body 10 is also tilted in the backward B diagonal direction, and viewing by the user is facilitated.

  The pair of weights 23 (first and second members) are attached to the rear B side of the base 21. The weight 23 on the rear B side balances with the display device main body 10 on the front F side of the pedestal 21, so that the amount L1 of the pedestal 21 protruding from the front F of the display device main body 10 is reduced. Stable holding is possible. If there is no weight 23, the display device main body 10 is disposed on the front F side of the pedestal, so that it tends to fall to the front F side and is in an unstable state.

  The weight 23 is composed of weights 23a to 23c. By attaching and removing the weights 23a to 23c individually, it is possible to correspond to the display device body 10 having different sizes (weights).

The weights 23a to 23c can be rectangular flat plate members (for example, metal plates). Simplification and standardization (manufacturing, installation, removal) are facilitated.
The weights 23 a to 23 c have through holes 231 for attachment to the pedestal 21. For example, the weights 23 a to 23 c can be fixed to the pedestal 21 by screwing into the screw holes 212 of the pedestal 21 through bolts (screws) B (see FIG. 5) through the through holes 231.

  Depending on the number or shape of the through holes 231, the weights 23a to 23c can be made movable. For example, by making the through-hole 231 a long hole long in the front-rear direction, the weights 23a-23c can be moved back and forth and fixed at an arbitrary position of the long hole. Further, by arranging a plurality of through holes 231 side by side, the weights 23a to 23c can be moved back and forth and fixed with different through holes 231.

  Here, the through hole 231 is a combination of a long hole and a plurality of round holes. That is, a plurality of round holes are arranged in a row, and two long holes are arranged substantially in parallel on both sides thereof. In this way, by combining the hole rows and the long holes, it is possible to switch between continuous fixing by the long holes and fixation at a plurality of positions by the hole rows. When a continuous change of position is preferable, fixing is performed using a long hole, and when a discontinuous change of position is preferable, fixing is performed using a row of holes.

  The size and weight of the weights 23a to 23c can be varied. Here, the weights 23a and 23b (for example, weight: 2 kg) are larger and heavier than the weight 23c (for example, weight: 1 kg). By using the weights 23a to 23c having different weights, coarse adjustment by the heavy weights 23a and 23b and fine adjustment by the light weight 23c are facilitated.

In order to vary the weights of the weights 23a to 23c, the material (specific gravity) may be varied, but the thickness may be varied (in addition, the vertical and horizontal sizes may be varied). .
In the present embodiment, the lengths of the weights 23a and 23b in the front-rear direction are made longer than the length of the weight 23c in the front-rear direction. When the length in the front-rear direction is increased, the movable range is decreased, but it is heavier, so that the usefulness as the weight 23 is increased. Moreover, when the length in the front-rear direction is reduced, the movable range is increased, which is useful for adjusting the center of gravity.

  Here, the weights 23a and 23b are lengthened in the front-rear direction, are heavy, and have a small movable range (substantially fixed at one place). In addition, the weight 23c is shortened forward and backward to make the movable range larger although it is relatively light. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the weight 23 c can be moved toward the front F (FIGS. 4 and 5) and toward the rear B (FIGS. 6 and 7).

  Further, the weights 23a and 23b can be placed under the display device main body 10 to increase the weight of the weights 23a and 23b (see FIGS. 5 and 7). On the other hand, since the weight 23c is small in length and is preferably disposed behind the pedestal 21, it is less necessary to be disposed under the display device body 10.

The undercarriage cover 24 is a member that is disposed under the display device body 10 and covers the undercarriage, and can be made of plastic, for example.
The underbody cover 24 includes a bottom 241, a support cover 242, and a weight cover 243.

  The bottom 241 has a substantially flat plate shape and is disposed under the display device body 10, particularly under the speaker unit 15.

  The column cover part 242 covers the root of the column 22.

  The weight cover portion 243 covers a part of the weight 23 (tip portion: the end portion on the front F side of the weights 23a and 23b). Here, the underbody cover 24 (the weight cover portion 243) accommodates part of the weights 23a and 23b and does not accommodate the weight 23c. As described above, since the front ends of the weights 23a and 23b are disposed under the display device body 10, it is aesthetically appropriate to cover with the underbody cover 24. On the other hand, since the weight 23c is basically not disposed under the display device body 10, it is not necessary to cover it with the underbody cover 24.

The weight cover 25 covers the weights 23a to 23c and contributes to the beauty of the display device. Here, most of the weights 23a and 23b that are not covered by the weight cover portion 243 of the underbody cover 24 and the whole weight 23c are covered.
As shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, the upper surface of the weight cover 25 is inclined from the front F toward the rear B for aesthetic reasons.

The weight cover 25 has a concave portion 251 for passing cables to the display device body 10 (circuit unit 14) in the center (see FIG. 3). The recess 251 is arranged from the front F to the rear B and is connected to the notch 211 of the base 21. That is, the weight cover 25 has an opening exposing the notch 211.
The cables are connected from the front F of the weight cover 25 to the display device main body 10 through the recesses 251 from the notches 211. The notch 211 is a relief for making it easier to bend the cables at this location.

The cable cover 26 has a substantially flat plate shape and covers and holds the cable disposed in the recess 251.
The weight cover 25 and the cable cover 26 can be fixed to the pedestal 21 with screws or the like.

A pair of handles 27 are disposed on the left and right sides of the cable cover 26 to facilitate carrying the stand 20 by hand.
Similar to the upper surface of the weight cover 25, the upper surface of the handle 27 is lowered from the front F toward the rear B (see FIGS. 2 to 4). If the upper surface of the handle 27 and the upper surface of the weight cover 25 are substantially the same plane (plane), it is preferable from an aesthetic viewpoint.

  The handle 27 can be fixed to the base 21 with screws or the like. A part of the upper plate of the handle 27 (the handle lid 271) can be removed. By removing the handle lid 271 and screwing the handle 27 to the base 21 and then fitting the handle lid 271, the screw that holds the handle 27 is not visually recognized, and the aesthetic appearance can be improved.

(Modification)
A stand 20 according to a modification will be described.
As shown in FIG. 8, here, the weights 23a to 23c are integrated without being divided into left and right. Thus, it is easy to secure the weight of the weight 23 by integrating the weights 23a to 23c.
Here, the weights 23 a to 23 c have notches in accordance with the notches 211 of the base 21. By doing in this way, escape when bending cables can be secured.

  Although the modification in which the weights 23a to 23c are not divided is shown, conversely, the weights 23a to 23c can be divided into three or more.

As described above, since the amount L1 of the stand 20 protruding from the front F of the display device main body 10 is zero or small, the stand 20 is excellent in aesthetics and can efficiently use the space. By arranging the weights 23a to 23c behind the base 21, the flat display device body 10 can be stably held against its weight.
In addition, even if the weight 23c is lightweight, the holding | maintenance of the display apparatus main body 10 can be stabilized by arrange | positioning the weights 23a-23c, especially the weight 23c as much as possible back B of the base 21.

  The weights 23a to 23c, in particular, the weight 23c can be moved back and forth, so that the display device body 10 of different sizes can be handled. For example, it is possible to cope with the display device body 10 of 65 inches and 58 inches by adjusting the number and positions of the weights 23a to 23c.

  Stacking the weights 23a to 23c as flat plates (for example, iron plates) makes it easy to adjust the weight at a low cost. Flat plates can be made by pressing and are cheaper than casting that requires post-processing. Further, by changing the number of stacked sheets, the weight can be easily adjusted, and it is not necessary to change or reshape the shape as in an integrated structure.

  Although several embodiments of the present invention have been described, these embodiments are presented by way of example and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. These embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are included in the invention described in the claims and the equivalents thereof.
