Abstract
A display device includes: a display module; a first support part and a second support part disposed below the display module, the first and second support parts being arranged in a first direction; a hinge disposed between the first and second support parts below the display module to define biaxial rotation axes extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction; and a plurality of rotation parts coupled to the hinge to rotate about the biaxial rotation axes, the plurality of rotation parts being connected to the first and second support parts, respectively. Each of the rotation parts includes first and second parts that move relative to each other via a lost motion connection upon rotation of the rotation parts.
Claims20
A display device comprising:
- a display module;
- a first support part and a second support part disposed below the display module, the first and second support parts being arranged in a first direction;
- a hinge disposed between the first and second support parts below the display module to define biaxial rotation axes extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction;
- and
- a plurality of rotation parts coupled to the hinge to rotate about the biaxial rotation axes, the plurality of rotation parts being connected to the first and second support parts, respectively,
- wherein at least one of the rotation parts comprises:
- a first part coupled to the hinge to rotate about a corresponding rotation axis of the biaxial rotation axes;
- a second part coupled to one of the first and second support parts, the second part being spaced apart from the first part in the first direction;
- a rotation member coupled to the hinge to rotate about the corresponding rotation axis, and a lost motion connection supporting the first part for movement relative to the rotation member upon rotation of the rotation parts;
- and
- a cover part disposed below the rotation member so as to be connected to the rotation member, wherein the first and second parts are disposed between the rotation member and the cover part.
