Abstract

A display apparatus, and a method for the display apparatus. The display apparatus includes a main frame, a magnet movably positioned on the main frame, and a light emitting diode (LED) module assembly detachably positioned on the main frame. The LED module assembly includes a plurality of LED modules, and a support frame on which the plurality of LED modules are installed, the support frame comprising a magnetic material interacting with the magnet. The display apparatus further includes a power cable configured to supply power to the plurality of LED modules, and a cover installed in the main frame to facilitate a connection of the power cable.

Dependent claims

A display apparatus comprising:

a main frame;
a magnet movably positioned on the main frame;
and
a light emitting diode (LED) module assembly detachably positioned on the main frame, the LED module assembly comprising:
a plurality of LED modules;
and
a support frame on which the plurality of LED modules are installed, the support frame comprising a magnetic material interacting with the magnet;
a power cable configured to supply power to the plurality of LED modules;
and
a cover installed in the main frame to facilitate a connection of the power cable, the cover positioned between the power cable and the plurality of LED modules, and configured to be opened from a front side of the display apparatus, while the LED module assembly is detached, such as to provide an opening in the main frame, to the front side, through which the power cable is accessible from the front side.

7 more elements

A method of disassembling a display apparatus, the display apparatus including a main frame and an LED module assembly positioned on the main frame by a magnet positioned on the main frame being magnetically coupled with a magnetic material positioned on the LED module assembly, the method comprising:

bringing a magnet member, having ferromagnetism, close to the LED module assembly coupled to the main frame such that the magnet positioned on the main frame moves away from the magnetic material positioned on the LED module assembly;
separating the LED module assembly from the main frame while the magnetic material positioned on the LED module assembly is moved away from the magnet positioned on the main frame;
separating, after the LED module assembly is separated from the main frame, a plurality of LED modules of the LED module assembly from a support frame of the LED module assembly;
and
separating, toward a front side of the display apparatus after the LED module assembly is separated from the main frame, a cover from the main frame such that a power cable, that is positioned behind the main frame and that is configured to supply power to the LED module assembly, is accessible from the front side.
