  The present invention relates to a display device having an auxiliary leg for preventing a fall and a display device auxiliary leg for preventing the display device from falling.

  In recent years, in order to enable placement of electronic devices in a limited space, there has been a demand for a reduction in volume of an electronic device casing, in particular, a reduction in installation area. If the installation area of the electronic device is reduced, the distance from the vertical leg down to the installation surface from the center of gravity of the electronic device case to the end of the installation surface will be shortened, so it will be installed by applying a lateral force to the electronic device case. When rotating with one end of the surface as the central axis, the force required for the leg of the perpendicular line from the center of gravity to the installation surface to exceed the central axis is reduced, and the electronic device is likely to fall over.

  Patent Document 1 has a plurality of legs that can protrude out of a stationary surface of a housing, and the plurality of legs protrudes out of the stationary surface by rotating a rotating part included in the legs. A stand mechanism that can be housed in the body is disclosed. As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent the electronic device from toppling over when the electronic device is placed vertically.
