The device is coupled to the screw hole 21 of the housing 20 to allow the display module 1 to be suspended from the wall surface.

However, the above display module 1 has many problems: First, the volume of the foot 30 is too large, which is disadvantageous for the volume reduction of the display module 1. Second, the screw hole 21 opened in the casing 20 produces a poor visual effect, and the user needs to purchase an additional wall hanging device, which is inconvenient. For this reason, a structural design that combines the functions of a tripod and the wall-hanging function is highly demanded.

In the prior art, the display module needs to be connected with an additional device to complete the purpose of hanging on the wall or standing on the desktop, which is inconvenient for the user. The invention thus proposes a wall mount for a display module, which not only has a simple structure, but also has two functions of wall hanging and upright display.

An object of the present invention is to provide a wall mount comprising: a base plate, two support plates, and a rotating shaft. The substrate has a recess. The two support plates are disposed in the groove in a movable manner, and each of the support plates has at least one card slot formed on the surface of the support plate. The rotating shaft is pivotally connected between the two supporting plates. Wherein, when the two support plates move relative to the substrate, the rotating shaft protrudes from the groove.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a display module comprising: a display body; and a wall mount coupled to the back of the display body. The wall mount includes a substrate, a plurality of support plates, and a plurality of rotating shafts. The substrate has at least one recess, and the wall mount is coupled to the display body by the substrate. A plurality of support plates are movably disposed in the recesses, and at least one of the plates has at least one card slot formed on a surface of the support plate. The rotating shaft is pivotally connected between the two supporting plates. Wherein, when the two support plates move relative to the substrate, the rotating shaft protrudes from the groove.

The wall mount of the present invention can simultaneously achieve the two purposes of standing upright or hanging on the wall surface through the characteristics of the two support plates movable relative to the substrate and the card slots provided on the surfaces of the two support plates.

Since the conventional display module needs to pass through an extra device such as a tripod or a wall hanging device to achieve the purpose of standing upright or hanging on the wall surface, the user's inconvenience is caused. The present invention thus provides a display module that is improved. The following describes the features of the wall mount and display module components of the present invention:
