FIG. 1 illustrates an appearance of a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure as viewed from the front (viewer side), and FIG. 2 is a right side view of the display device. The display device 1 is used as a television device, a monitor device, or the like, and is a flat display panel 10 and a stand that is placed on a horizontal installation surface P1 (see FIG. 2) and supports the display panel 10. 20.

In this specification, when viewed from the front front of the display panel 10, the horizontal direction (left-right direction) is the X direction, the vertical direction (vertical direction) is the Y direction, and the direction orthogonal to the X direction and the Y direction (front-rear direction or depth direction). ) In the Z direction.

The display panel 10 includes a front surface portion 11 including a display area 11A, a rear surface portion 12 provided on the rear side of the front surface portion 11, and a side surface portion 13 and a bottom surface portion 14 between the front surface portion 11 and the rear surface portion 12. ing. The bottom surface part 14 faces the installation surface P1. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the display panel 10 includes a liquid crystal panel in which the liquid crystal cell 15 and the backlight unit 16 are accommodated in a front housing 17 and a rear housing 18.

The stand 20 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 supports the vertical load Wg of the display panel 10 and has a first surface 20A and a second surface 20B. The first surface 20A is a surface on which the stand 20 is placed on the installation surface P1. As shown in FIG. 2, the second surface 20 B is in contact with at least a part of the bottom surface portion 14 of the display panel 10 in the depth direction. In other words, the second surface 20B and the bottom surface portion 14 are in contact (line contact) with a line parallel to the depth direction. Thereby, in this display apparatus 1, it is possible to reduce an installation area.

As shown in FIG. 2, the second surface 20B is preferably in contact with the entire depth direction of the bottom surface portion 14 of the display panel 10, that is, from the end 14A on the front surface portion 11 side to the end 14B on the rear surface portion 12 side. . Thus, by receiving the entire depth direction of the bottom surface portion 14 of the display panel 10 with the stand 20, the second surface 20 B can support the lower end 11 B of the front surface portion 11 of the display panel 10 from below. Unintentional forward tilt and forward fall are suppressed.

The stand 20 includes, for example, a support portion 21 provided below the bottom surface portion 14 of the display panel 10 and a fixing portion 22 provided along the rear surface portion 12 as shown in FIG. The support portion 21 has, for example, two

leg portions

21B and 21C under the seat portion 21A. The first surface 20A corresponds to the lower surfaces of the

leg portions

21B and 21C, and the second surface 20B corresponds to the upper surface of the seat portion 21A.

The fixing portion 22 is a bracket for fixing the display panel 10 and the stand 20. For example, the fixing portion 22 is bent upward from the end on the rear surface portion 12 side of the support portion 21, rises along the rear surface portion 12, and is fixed to the rear surface portion 12 with screws 22A. By fixing the fixing portion 22 to the rear surface portion 12 of the display panel 10 in this way, the display panel 10 can be easily attached to the stand 20 in the assembly process.

In the display device 1, the first surface 20A of the stand 20 is placed on the installation surface P1, the bottom surface portion 14 of the display panel 10 is placed on the second surface 20B, and the fixing portion 22 is placed on the rear surface portion 12 of the display panel 10. It can be assembled by fixing.

In the display device 1, the second surface 20B of the stand 20 is in contact with at least a part of the bottom surface portion 14 of the display panel 10 in the depth direction. Therefore, the vertical load Wg of the display panel 10 is received by the stand 20 immediately below or almost directly below the center of gravity G of the display panel 10.

FIG. 3 is a right side view of the display device 1R of Reference Example 1. The display device 1R of the reference example 1 has a configuration in which the display panel 110 is supported by a stand 120.

The lower end of the column 121 is attached to a foundation 123 placed on the installation surface P1.

In Reference Example 1, the vertical load Wg of the display panel 110 is received at the upper end 121A of the column 121, that is, behind the center of gravity G of the display panel 110. Therefore, when the display panel 10 is tilted forward as indicated by the arrow A1 and the two-dot chain line in FIG. 4, the center of gravity G is detached from the bottom surface portion 114, and the balance is lost. For this reason, it is desirable that the forward foundation 123 protrudes greatly forward of the display panel 110 in order to ensure the falling angle of the display panel 110. Therefore, it is difficult to reduce the depth D of the foundation 123.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, by receiving the bottom surface portion 14 of the display panel 10 from below with the second surface 20B of the stand 20, the vertical load Wg of the display panel 10 is received directly below or almost directly below the center of gravity G. Is possible. Therefore, it is possible to secure the falling angle of the display panel 10 while reducing the depth D of the stand 20 (the dimension in the front-rear direction of the first surface 20A) D, and to reduce the installation area.
