According to Figures 2 and 3, the hinge member 40 is formed to form a curved surface. The reason is that the hinge member 40 is operated by the cam 50 while allowing the display unit 10 connected to the upper end of the hinge member 40 to be positioned forward of the front end of the stand unit 20. This is to ensure easy operation when possible.

In addition, the hinge member 40 is connected to the display unit 10 and the stand unit 20 as two hinges, which are the first hinge 41 and the second hinge 41 ′, respectively. Accordingly, the hinge member 40 may be rotated forward and backward about the first hinge 41 which is connected to the stand unit 20, and the hinge member 40 and the display unit 10 may be rotated. By the second hinge 41 ′ to allow the display unit 10 to be rotated forward and backward, an operation is possible.

In the monitor of the present invention, the cam 50 is rotated as the operating member 52 on one side of the stand 20 is rotated, whereby the hinge member 40 is rotated about the first hinge 41. As shown in FIG. 2, the display unit 10 is moved forward or as shown in FIG. 3, and is also moved upward and downward.

In this way, when the screen angle is adjusted by the cam 50, the angle adjustment for moving the screen 11 of the display unit 10 in the up and down directions can be performed. Can be adjusted appropriately.

In addition, when the display unit 10 is held by hand and rotated about the second hinge 41 ′, the user can finely adjust the screen angle of the display unit 10 in a desired direction.

Although already mentioned, the stand portion 20 is configured to configure the front buttocks 21 so that the cam 50 for adjusting the screen angle is concealed so as to be hidden from the front of the monitor.

Therefore, the stand portion 20 which can secure a large internal space of the front portion is obtained. That is, according to the present invention, the stand unit 20 can incorporate a plurality of speakers.

That is, the bass output speaker 34 and the high sound output speaker 34 'is installed inside the stand 20. In the speaker installation, the bass output speaker 34 is installed at both sides of the front obturator 21, and the treble output speaker 34 'is installed at the front side in order to make the bass sound bass.

Accordingly, the stand 20 has a bass output hole 25 on both sides, and the stand 20 has a high sound output hole 25 '.

In addition, the front side of the stand 20 is provided with a rotary switch 26 for adjusting the speaker volume level, the speaker volume display unit 60 is configured to be installed in the vicinity thereof, which will be described in more detail later.

One side of the stand unit 20 has a speaker power input unit 27 and a speaker signal input unit 28, and as shown in FIG. 1, the speaker power input unit 27 has a power plug 29a connected to an external power source. And the connector 29c of the power cable 29 having the adapter 28b are used. The speaker signal input unit 28 is connected to the jack 30a of the speaker signal cable 30, and the speaker signal cable 30 is connected to a computer.

The stand portion 20 has a signal connection portion 31 at its rear end, and a signal cable 32 connected from a computer is connected thereto. The electrical energy and display signals input from the signal connection portion 31 are used. It passes through the interior of the hinge member 40 connecting the display unit 10 and the stand unit 20 has a configuration connected to the display unit 10.

Accordingly, the volume shaft 26a of the rotary switch 26 is assembled to be connected to the volume switch 63 of the circuit board 62 fixed by the fixing means such as the screw 61 inside the stand case 20a.

Therefore, when the rotary switch 26 is rotated, the volume switch 63 is operated to increase or decrease the speaker volume according to the circuit control.

The speaker volume display unit 60 is provided in the stand case 20a of the peripheral portion of the rotary switch 26.

The speaker volume display unit 60 is configured to be visually distinguishable from the outside, and is assembled so that the speaker volume display unit 60 formed of a normal lens is inserted into the display unit hole 64, and the speaker volume display unit 60 is inserted. Is installed to be fixed to the stand case (20a) by a screw (66).

Therefore, the speaker volume display unit 60 is only exposed to the outside surface, the lower portion of the speaker volume display unit 60 is installed so that a plurality of lamps 67 are located in close proximity.

The lamp 67 is commonly referred to as a light emitting diode (LED). The lamp 67 is installed to be connected to the circuit board 62. However, depending on the embodiment, the lamp 67 may be connected to a separate circuit board so as to be installed separately from the circuit board 62.

The lamp 67 is provided such that a plurality of lamps are arranged as in the form of the speaker volume display unit 60. Referring to FIG. 6, when the speaker volume display unit 60 is configured in a semicircular shape, the lamp 67 installed thereunder is also arranged to be arranged in such a semicircular state.

When the rotary switch 26 is rotated clockwise in general, the volume of the speaker is increased, and when rotated counterclockwise, the volume of the speaker is reduced. Therefore, in the volume display portion 60, the lower portion forms the low tone display portion 60a, and the higher portion is the high tone display portion 60b.

The method of displaying the volume level on the speaker volume display unit 60 according to the operation of the rotary switch 26 may have various embodiments.

FIG. 6 shows the first embodiment, in which the lamp 67 that brightens the speaker volume display unit 60 is installed to shine brighter toward the treble display unit 60a.
