Description

Dual monitor {Dual monitor}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a monitor, and more particularly, to a dual monitor that simultaneously uses two monitors in operation of a computer.

In recent years, as the number of tasks that can be performed using a computer has increased, the user performs tasks while holding a plurality of task windows in order to perform various tasks at the same time. However, since the size of the computer monitor itself is limited, there are inconveniences that it is necessary to open and close several operation windows one by one. In order to solve this problem, a dual monitor capable of simultaneously controlling a plurality of monitors has been introduced. Currently, development of a dual monitor is being accelerated.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing a dual monitor according to a related art, and FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram showing a state in which a second monitor is rotated in a dual monitor according to the related art.

As shown in these figures, the dual monitor is provided with a base 2. The base 2 may include a controller for controlling the operation of the dual monitor. Alternatively, the base 2 itself may serve as a computer main body. The base 2 is formed to have a predetermined weight, and performs a role as a center of gravity of the dual monitor.

On the front surface of the base 2, a first monitor 4 is installed to be adjustable in angle. The first monitor 4 is a part for displaying information of a computer, and is generally made of a liquid crystal display.

A first hinge (6) is provided on one side of the base (2). The first hinge 6 is provided with a connecting member 8. The connecting member 8 may be integrally provided with the first hinge 6 and may be rotated around the first hinge 6. The connecting member 8 is designed to have a rigidity enough to withstand the weight of the second monitor 10, which will be described below.

On the other hand, the second monitor 10 is rotatably mounted to the connecting member 8 in the front-rear direction. Here, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, it is defined that the connecting member 8 is rotated in the front-rear direction. The second monitor 10 is rotatably connected to the connecting member 8 through a second hinge 12 provided on the rear surface. Like the first monitor 4, the second monitor 10 is a part in which computer information is displayed, and is generally made of a liquid crystal display. The second monitor (10) is positioned in a horizontal direction with respect to the first monitor (4).

The above-mentioned dual monitors are widely used by employees in banking, insurance companies, securities companies, and the like in consultation with customers. That is, the employee can view the first monitor 4, and the customer can explain various merchandise information to the customer while viewing the second monitor 10. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the employee rotates the second monitor 10 in the direction of the customer, and then contacts the customer to see the first monitor 4 with the same information.

However, the above-described conventional techniques have the following problems.

As described above, the base 2 plays a role as the center of gravity of the dual monitor. However, since the second monitor 10 is installed so as to be rotated in the front-rear direction, the dual monitor 10 may be weighted toward the one side in the rotated state. As a result, if the weight is concentrated to one side by the second monitor 10, the dual monitor may be tilted.

There is a method of increasing the size of the base 2 in order to solve this problem, but there is a problem in that trend of display products in recent years becomes slimmer.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems occurring in the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to prevent the center of gravity of the dual monitor from concentrating on one side during rotation of the monitor.

According to an aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising: a base having a support stand upright on an upper surface thereof and a support plate having a predetermined weight, A first monitor installed at an angle on the support so as to be positioned in front of the support; And a second monitor rotatably installed on one side surface of the support frame in the front-rear direction.

And a sliding member is installed in the base so as to be able to move in and out of the base, and the supporting plate is provided at the tip of the sliding member.

The sliding member is installed on one side of the base corresponding to the front or rear of the base, and is moved forward and backward of the base.

And a sliding hole for inserting the sliding member is formed in the base through the front and rear sides.

A hinge body is rotatably installed on one side of the support frame, and the first and second rotary members are rotatably mounted on the hinge body in forward and backward directions.

And the first monitor and the second monitor are installed on the first rotating member and the second rotating member so as to be adjustable in angle, respectively.

In the present invention, a support plate is installed on one side of a base serving as a center of gravity of the dual monitor so as to be relatively movable. Therefore, when the center of gravity is moved in accordance with the rotation direction of the monitor, the support plate is moved correspondingly, thereby preventing the dual monitor from being tilted to one side.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a dual monitor according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a preferred embodiment of a dual monitor according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing a base and a support plate constituting an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in these figures, the dual monitor is provided with a base 20. The base 20 is the center of gravity of the dual monitor. The base 20 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape having a predetermined weight. The base 20 is formed with a sliding hole 21 through which a sliding member 24 to be described later is inserted. The sliding holes 21 are formed in parallel to each other and penetrate the front and rear sides of the base 20.

A support plate 22 having a predetermined weight is installed on the base 20 so as to be movable relative to the base 20. The support plate 22 serves to prevent the dual monitor from tilting the center of gravity to one side and falling over the dual monitor. In particular, the support plate 22 assists the weight concentrated on the base 20 so that the dual monitor can be stably supported.

To this end, a sliding member 24 is installed in the base 20 so as to be in / out of the base 20. The sliding member 24 is movably installed in the sliding hole 21 of the base 20. Since the sliding hole 21 penetrates front and rear of the base 20, the sliding member 24 can be selectively inserted in front of or behind the base 20.

A supporting plate (22) is provided at the tip of the sliding member (24). It is preferable that the support plate 22 and the sliding member 24 are integrally formed. Therefore, the sliding member 24 is moved forward or backward of the base 20 in accordance with the rotation direction of the second monitor 50, and the support plate 22 assists the base 20 in a stable manner, The monitor can be supported.

On the upper surface of the base 20, a support base 30 is installed. The support 30 serves to support the first monitor 40 and the second monitor 50, which will be described below. Inside the support base 30, parts for controlling the operation of the dual monitor are connected to the computer main body. Of course, the support 30 may be configured to perform only the function of controlling the operation of the dual monitor as described above, and the support 30 itself may be configured to operate as the computer main body.

The support base 30 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The support stand 30 is installed upright on the upper surface of the base 20 to minimize the space occupied by the dual monitor.

A hinge body (32) is rotatably installed on one side of the support base (30). The hinge body 32 rotates the first monitor 40 and the second monitor 50. The hinge body (32) is rotatably mounted on the support base (30). When the dual monitor is viewed from the front, it is defined that the support base 30 and the first and second rotary members 36 and 38 are rotated in the forward and backward directions as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B.

The hinge body (32) is provided with a plurality of hinge shafts (34). The hinge shaft 34 substantially functions as a center of rotation. One side of the support base 30 is extended and inserted into the hinge shaft 34, and the hinge body 32 is rotated around the support base 30. Of course, any configuration may be employed as long as the hinge body 32 is rotatably installed on the support base 30. [

On the other hand, the first rotary member 36 and the second rotary member 38 are rotatably mounted on the hinge body 32 in forward and backward directions. The first rotating member 36 and the second rotating member 38 are rotatably connected to a hinge shaft 34 provided on the hinge body 32.

A first monitor (40) is installed in front of the support base (30) so as to be adjustable in angle. The first monitor 40 is installed on one side of the first rotating member 36 and rotated together with the first rotating member 36. Accordingly, the first rotary member 36 should be designed to have a rigidity enough to withstand the weight of the first monitor 40 and the rotation moment of the first monitor 40. The first monitor (40) is preferably installed to cover the support (30) when viewed from the front. The first monitor 40 is a part for displaying information of a computer, and is generally made of a liquid crystal display.

The second monitor (50) is installed on the second rotary member (38) so as to be adjustable in angle. The second monitor (50) is installed on one side of the second rotating member (38) and rotated together with the second rotating member (38). Therefore, the second rotary member 38 should be designed to have a rigidity enough to withstand the weight of the second monitor 50 and the rotation moment of the second monitor 50. The second monitor 50 is a part for displaying information of a computer, and is generally made of a liquid crystal display.

Hereinafter, the operation of the dual monitor according to the present invention will be described in detail.

First, a brief description will be made of the rotation of the monitors 40 and 50 in the dual monitor according to the present invention. As described above, the hinge body 32 is installed to be rotatable about the support base 30 in the forward and backward directions. The monitors 40 and 50 are rotatably supported on the hinge body 32 And is rotatable about the front and rear.

Therefore, the user can perform the work while rotating the hinge body 32 and the monitors 40 and 50, respectively, as needed. Dual monitors can be used at home, at work, and so on. When the user is using the apparatus at home alone, various work windows can be operated while the second monitor 50 is rotated at an appropriate angle as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B. When the monitor is used in a workplace such as a bank, the second monitor 50 is rotated so as to be positioned at the rear of the supporter 30 so that the employee and the customer watch the monitors 40 and 50, respectively, It is also possible to describe various product information.

Next, the movement of the support plate 22 in accordance with the rotation direction of the monitors 40, 50 will be described. 5A and 5B are plan views showing a process of rotating the second monitor forward according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

3, the user holds the side of the second monitor 50 and rotates forward. Then, the second monitor 50 can be rotated to the state shown in FIG. 5B through the state shown in FIG. 5A. In general, in the state shown in FIG. 5B, the dual monitor is located on the right side of the desk, and the user places various operation windows on the respective monitors 40 and 50 to work.

When the second monitor 50 rotates forward, the gravity of the second monitor 50 causes the center of gravity of the dual monitor to move forward. Accordingly, the dual monitor may be tilted forward. In the present invention, such a problem can be prevented by using the support plate 22.

That is, the user moves the support plate 22 in front of the first monitor 40 before rotating the second monitor 50. At this time, the support plate 22 is moved through the sliding member 24 sliding inside the base 20. The support plate 22 can be moved relative to the base 20 in various ways depending on the degree of rotation of the second monitor 50. As shown in the drawing, as the angle of rotation of the second monitor 50 is increased, the support plate 22 is moved away from the base 20, thereby preventing the center of gravity from moving toward one side.

6A and 6B are plan views showing a process of rotating the second monitor backward according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in these drawings, when the second monitor 50 is rotated backward, the support plate 22 and the sliding member 24 are pulled out from the base 20, Is inserted through the sliding hole (21). That is, the support plate 22 and the sliding member 24 are selectively inserted into the base 20 according to the rotation direction of the second monitor 50 to adjust the center of gravity of the dual monitor.

When the second monitor 50 is rotated backward, the support plate 22 is moved to the rear of the base 20 as in the case of forward rotation. Therefore, the center of gravity of the dual monitor can be prevented from leaning backward due to the weight of the support plate 22.

The rotation of the first monitor 40 and the rotation of the first monitor 40 may be changed according to the rotation direction and the rotation angle of the monitors 40 and 50 and the hinge body 32. However, It is also possible to move the support plate 22 about the center.

The scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but may be defined by the scope of the claims, and those skilled in the art may make various modifications and alterations within the scope of the claims It is self-evident.
