## Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a display apparatus. The display apparatus includes a case, a display panel mounted on the case, a sensor device disposed inside the case, and a decoration bezel detachably mounted on the case, wherein the sensor device includes a sensor bracket fixed to the case, and a sensor module movably mounted on the sensor bracket.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display apparatus comprising:
a main body;
a display panel mounted on the main body;
a sensor device inside the main body; and
a decoration bezel detachably mounted on the main body,
wherein the sensor device comprises:
a sensor bracket fixed to the main body; and
a sensor module mounted on the sensor bracket and configured to be movable with respect to the sensor bracket, the sensor module being configured to be positioned in a first position when the decoration bezel is separated from the main body and to be positioned in a second position when the decoration bezel is mounted on the main body.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the sensor module is configured to move in a direction protruding to the outside of the main body when the decoration bezel is mounted on the main body.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The display apparatus according to claim 2, wherein
the sensor bracket comprises a limiting portion configured to limit the movement of the sensor module, and
the sensor module comprises a limiting protrusion protruding such that the movement from the first position to the second position is limited by the limiting portion.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The display apparatus according to claim 3, wherein
the limiting protrusion comprises an inclined surface pressed by the limiting portion such that the sensor module is movable from the second position to the first position.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The display apparatus according to claim 3, wherein
the sensor module comprises a trigger portion protruding toward the decoration bezel, and
the decoration bezel comprises a push portion pressing the trigger portion when mounted on the main body.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The display apparatus according to claim 5, wherein
the limiting protrusion is configured to be separated from the limiting portion when the push portion presses the trigger portion to move from the first position to the second position.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the sensor device comprises an elastic member pressing the sensor module in a direction toward the second position.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the sensor bracket comprises a guide slit guiding the sensor module such that the sensor module is movable between the first position and the second position, and
the sensor module comprises a guide protrusion inserted into the guide slit.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the sensor device is disposed in the rear of the display panel.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the sensor module is configured such that at least a portion of the sensor module protrudes further outward than the decoration bezel when the sensor module is in the second position.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the sensor module is configured such that at least a portion of the sensor module protrudes further outward than the main body when the sensor module is in the first position.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the sensor device is disposed at a lower end of the main body, and
the sensor module is configured to be movable in the up-down direction.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The display apparatus according to claim 12, wherein
the second position is set to be positioned below the first position.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the sensor module is coupled to the sensor bracket in a snap-fit manner when moving from the second position to the first position.
