FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a display apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention, andFIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a stand structure of the display apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.FIGS. 4A and 4B are partial cross sectional views of the stand structure according to a lifting operation of a monitor of the display apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. - As shown therein, the display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a
monitor 20, and astand 30 coupled to a rear surface of themonitor 20 to support themonitor 20. - The
monitor 20 implements a function of displaying a picture on a display panel, and is coupled firmly to thestand 30 by various coupling devices, such as, for example, a screw. - The
stand 30 comprises a supportingmember 40, aninner slider 50 accommodated to be liftable up and down in an inside of the supportingmember 40, anouter slider 60 provided on an outer circumferential surface of the supportingmember 40 to be movable by a magnetic cooperation with theinner slider 50 and to connect to themonitor 20, and anelastic member 70, provided on a bottom of at least one of theinner slider 50 and theouter slider 60, to support themonitor 20 elastically. - The supporting
member 40 comprises a base 42 placed on a floor surface of a place where the display apparatus is located on, and asupporter 44 formed with an inner space. Thebase 42 is divided into an upper body and a bottom body of a mutually-removable plate shape. Thesupporter 44 is made of non-magnetic material with high durability such as aluminum to facilitate a lifting movement. - The
base 42 and thesupporter 44 may take various sizes and shapes as necessary. - Also, a top end of the
supporter 44 of the supportingmember 40 is opened to accommodate theinner slider 50 and theelastic member 70, and adeviation prevention cap 46 is coupled on an opened part to prevent deviation of theinner slider 50. - At least one of the
inner slider 50 and theouter slider 60 comprises a magnet to interlock each other by the magnetic cooperation. In other words, at least one of theinner slider 50 and theouter slider 60 is provided with a permanent magnet generating a magnetic force, while the other is made of magnetic material magnetized by the magnetic force generated from the permanent magnet. - The
inner slider 50 comprises an inner slidingblock 52 accommodated liftably in thesupporter 44 of the supportingmember 40, and aninner magnet 54 connected to the inner slidingblock 52 to contact an inner surface of thesupporter 44 of the supportingmember 40 to generate the magnetic force. The inner slidingblock 52 is formed with a locking protrusion to be supported by theelastic member 70. The number of theinner magnets 54 to be installed may be adjusted properly. - Also, the
inner slider 50 may take various structures as long as theinner slider 50 magnetically cooperates with theouter slider 60. As an example, theinner slider 50 can be made of the permanent magnet except for theinner magnet 54. - As shown in
FIGS. 4A and 4B , an outside of the inner slidingblock 52 includes at least onemagnet accommodation groove 53, and theinner magnet 54 is accommodated in themagnet accommodation groove 53 of the inner slidingblock 52. Theinner magnet 54 has a ring shape, and a shape of the correspondingmagnet accommodation groove 53 matches the shape of theinner magnet 54. - The
outer slider 60 comprises an outer slidingblock 62 having a hollow to couple with an outer surface of thesupporter 44 of the supportingmember 40, and anouter magnet 64 accommodated in the outer slidingblock 62 to be supported by the outer surface of thesupporter 44 of the supportingmember 40 by the magnetic cooperation with theinner magnet 54 of theinner slider 50. Theouter magnet 64 moves the sliding block by the magnetic cooperation with theinner magnet 54, and the number of theouter magnet 64 to be installed may be adjusted as necessary. - The
outer slider 60 may have various structures as long as theouter slider 60 maintains a magnetic cooperation with theinner slider 50. As an example, theouter slider 60 may be made of the permanent magnet except for theouter magnet 64. - An inside of the outer sliding
block 62 is formed with at least onemagnet accommodation groove 63, and theouter magnet 64 is accommodated in themagnet accommodation groove 63 of the outer slidingblock 62. Theouter magnet 64 has a ring shape, and the correspondingmagnet accommodation groove 63 is similarly shaped to substantially match the shape of theouter magnet 64. - Meanwhile, the
inner magnet 54 and theouter magnet 64 mutually attract each other by the magnetic cooperation with thesupporter 44 of the supportingmember 40 between theinner magnet 54 and theouter magnet 64. Theinner magnet 54 and theouter magnet 64 have magnetic force between them, which is strong enough to overcome elastic force generated when theelastic member 70 is compressed (i.e. as a result of being pushed down by a user), and are closely supported on the inner surface and the outer surface of thesupporter 44 of the supportingmember 40, respectively. - In other words, due to the attractive force between the
inner magnet 54 and theouter magnet 64, a frictional force is generated between both theinner slider 50 and theouter slider 60 and the supportingmember 40. This frictional force is sufficient to prevent a decompression of theelastic member 70 when a user no longer pushes down theelastic member 70. Of course, this effect would also apply in a case in which the elastic member is extended, and subsequently released. In this case, the frictional force would prevent a compression of the elastic member. - In an embodiment of the invention, the
elastic member 70 is included in a lower part of theinner slider 50 to prevent theelastic member 70 from being exposed. However, the elastic member may be included in a lower part of theouter slider 60 as necessary. Also, theelastic member 70 may be selected from among various kinds of disclosed elastic members having an elastic force strong enough to support a weight of themonitor 20. However, the advantage of the use of a compressing spring is that the compressing spring has a relatively simple structure and provides functionality. - In an embodiment of the invention, the
supporter 44 of the supportingmember 40 has a cylindrical structure to realize both a lifting movement and a rotating movement of themonitor 20 at substantially the same time by lifting and rotating theouter slider 60. Also, thesupporter 44 may have a polygonal structure where only the lifting movement of themonitor 20 is enabled. Accordingly, the shapes of theinner slider 50 and theouter slider 60 may vary according to the structure of thesupporter 44. - In an embodiment of the invention, the
outer slider 60 is coupled as an annular structure to surround the outer surface of thesupporter 44 of the supportingmember 40 in consideration of the magnetic force and stability. -
Reference numbers FIGS. 5A, 5B , and 5C. - Hereinbelow, an operation of the stand of the display apparatus will be described.
- Firstly, if a user applies constant force to push the
monitor 20 down, theouter slider 60, connected to themonitor 20, moves downward slidingly along the outer surface of thesupporter 44 of the supportingmember 40. Accordingly, theinner slider 50, installed to be interlocked by the magnetic cooperation with theouter slider 60, moves downward slidingly along the inner surface of thesupporter 44 of the supportingmember 40 as theinner slider 50 compresses theelastic member 70 provided in a lower part thereof at the same time. - Herein, the
elastic member 70 blocks unexpected movement of theinner slider 50 and theouter slider 60 caused by the weight of themonitor 20. - Also, if the user stops the
monitor 20 at a position where he/she wants, themonitor 20 is maintained in a stationary state by a supporting force of theelastic member 70 and the frictional forces generated as a result of the magnetic forces of theinner slider 50 and theouter slider 60. Herein, as the elastic force of theelastic member 70 is designed to be blocked by a pressing force of theinner slider 50 and theouter slider 60 relative to the inner surface and the outer surface, theinner slider 50 and theouter slider 60 may constantly maintain the stationary state unless an additional external force is applied to themonitor 20. - Meanwhile, as the
outer slider 60 is installed to be rotatable along the outer surface of thesupporter 44 of the supportingmember 40 having a cylindrical structure, theouter slider 60 may rotate in 360 degrees along the outer surface of thesupporter 44 of the supportingmember 40 when the user enables the rotational movement of themonitor 20. -
FIGS. 5A, 5B , and 5C illustrate operation states of the monitor of the display apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. - As shown therein, the display apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention controls the lifting movement and the rotating movement of the
monitor 20 freely according to the sliding movement of theouter slider 60. Also, since a rotatingbracket 80 is additionally connected to theouter slider 60 and themonitor 20, themonitor 20 may rotate. - The rotating
bracket 80 comprises atilt bracket 82 installed on an outside of theouter slider 60 to enable themonitor 20 to tilt, and apivot bracket 84 connected to a first side of thetilt bracket 82 and coupled to themonitor 20 to enable themonitor 20 to pivot. - The
