Definitions

  • the invention relates to a display apparatus comprising a display and, connected to the display, a base part which forms a support surface for supporting the display apparatus on a substantially planar surface.
  • Flat displays are lighter than traditional displays provided with cathode ray tubes, so they are more easily mounted on a wall.
  • flat displays can be mounted with the aid of lighter wall fasteners than the traditional displays, and even on light partition walls.
  • the wall installation saves table space, and- the viewing distance can be increased so that it is longer than previously.
  • Prior art flat displays generally have a fixed base part, supported on which the display can be arranged on a table top. Such displays can not be mounted on vertical surfaces. If the base part can be detached, it may be removed and the display could be mounted on a wall etc. This requires then for instance separate wall fasteners. There may also be already fasteners on the backside of the display, but then a wall installation of the display requires that the display apparatus is taken apart (the base part and the display).
  • both the display and the base part can be provided with connectors, whereby a longer cable is refitted between them for the wall installation. It is also possible to use solutions where the cables do not pass through the base part.
  • the height or inclination of the display can not be adjusted after the fastening.
  • the display apparatus according to the invention can be fastened to a planar surface which is horizontal, vertical, or otherwise directed, without dissembling the apparatus.
  • the wall installation is rapid and easy.
  • the display is further sufficiently light-weight, so that it can be easily fastened even on a light wall and without any robust fastening means.
  • the base part can be arranged below the display apparatus when the apparatus is fastened to a vertical surface.
  • the base part of the apparatus comprises a support part and an arm part.
  • the apparatus On a horizontal surface the apparatus can be placed so that it is supported by the support part.
  • the inclination of the display in relation to a vertical surface as well as its location in the height direction can be adjusted with the aid of the arm part, without detaching the apparatus from the surface.
  • the display can be arranged in a vertical or in a horizontal position, without detaching the apparatus from the surface, by twisting it around a certain rotational axis when the display apparatus is fastened to a planar surface.
  • a display apparatus according to the invention can be fastened to a vertical surface so that the mechanical adjustments of the display remain substantially the same as in a table top installation.
  • an audio or a multimedia equipment can be located in the base part, which the equipment comprises for instance speakers, a microphone and/or a camera, and other control arrangements.
  • the base part is located below the display in the wall installation, whereby any audio equipment and adjustment arrangements are easy to use.

  • Figure 1b shows a side view of the display apparatus according to the first embodiment of the invention fastened to a wall and inclined in relation to the wall.
  • the display 3 is inclined, supported by the arm part 2 of the base, in the direction Z in relation to the wall 4, when the support part 1 of the base is fastened to the wall 4.
  • the support part 1 and the arm part 2 of the base are arranged to be mutually connected with any means known per se, such as a hinge, over which the display 3 can be inclined in the Z direction.
  • the figure further shows with a broken line an alternative structure of the support part of the base.
  • the alternative structure 19 has the form of a thick U, whereby the arm part is fastened inside the arc of the U. Such a structure is particularly stable in a table top installation, as the branches of the U significantly enlarge the support area.
  • Figure 2a shows further a side view of the display apparatus of the second embodiment of the invention mounted on a table top.
  • the support part 1 of the base part is arranged on the table surface 5, whereby the arm part of the base can be arranged in relation the support part 1 in a desired inclination, like in the wall installation.
  • the figure further shows how control means 6 for the display 3 are mounted in the base part of the apparatus.
  • the display control means 6 comprise means for making the basic controls of the display, such as the contrast and brightness of the display 3 and the position and width of the picture in the display 3.
  • the arm part of the base part is a two-part structure and comprises an upper part 7 to which the display is fastened, and a lower part 8, which is fastened to the support part 1 with a means known per se, such as a hinge.
