The display device of the present disclosure may include: a display panel; a frame positioned behind the display panel; a back cover covering a rear of the frame and having a hole; and an articulated connector coupled to the frame through the hole of the back cover, wherein the articulated connector may include: a cable reel on which a cable is wound, the cable reel spaced from a boundary of the hole to an inside of the hole; an inner cover covering a rear of the cable reel and fixed to the cable reel; and an outer cover positioned between a perimeter of the inner cover and the boundary of the hole of the back cover and coupled to the inner cover. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A display device comprising: a display panel; a frame positioned behind the display panel; a back cover covering a rear of the frame; an articulated connector rotatably coupled to an arm and configured to be coupled to the frame through the back cover; a cable reel having a cylindrical body disposed at the articulated connector and on which a cable is wound; an inner cover coupled to the articulated connector and covering a rear of the cable reel; and an outer cover disposed to surround the inner cover, wherein the back cover is shaped to define a position configured to accommodate the outer cover. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The display device of claim 1, further comprising ahead including the display panel, the frame, and the back cover, wherein the articulated connector comprises: a pivot module providing rotation of the head about a pivot axis orthogonal to the head, wherein the head is rotatable about the pivot axis of the pivot module independently of the inner cover. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The display device of claim 2, wherein, with respect to the pivot axis, an inner circumference of the outer cover and an outer circumference of the inner cover are independent of each other, with respect to the pivot axis, an outer circumference of the outer cover and the head are independent of each other, or with respect to the pivot axis, the inner circumference of the outer cover and the outer circumference of the inner cover are independent of each other, and the outer circumference of the outer cover and the head are independent of each other. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The display device of claim 2, wherein the cable is wound on the cable reel about the pivot axis, wherein a cable path is defined around an outer circumference of the cable reel, and wherein the outer cover covers the cable path. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The display device of claim 1, wherein the outer cover further comprises a rearward protruding coupling member configured to engage with a corresponding coupling member at the position of the back cover configured to accommodate the outer cover to secure the outer cover to the back cover. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The display device of claim 5, wherein the rearward protruding coupling member is one of a plurality of rearward protruding coupling members spaced apart along a circumference of the outer cover to correspond with a plurality of corresponding coupling members at the position of the back cover. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The display device of claim 1, wherein the articulated connector comprises a front bracket, wherein the front bracket comprises a plurality of projections configured to be secured to corresponding openings of the frame to secure the articulated connector to the frame. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The display device of claim 7, wherein the plurality of projections include two projections at atop of the front bracket and two projections at a bottom of the front bracket. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The display device of claim 8, wherein the two projections at the top of the front bracket are shaped differently than the two projections at the bottom of the front bracket. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The display device of claim 9, further comprising: a board positioned between the frame and the back cover and coupled to the frame; and a cable head electrically connected to the board and exposed at the position of the back cover configured to accommodate the outer cover to allow the cable to be connected thereto. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The display device of claim 1, further comprising a head including the display panel, the frame, and the back cover, wherein the articulated connector comprises: a pivot module providing rotating of the head about a pivot axis orthogonal to the display panel; atilt module providing rotation of the head about atilt axis parallel to the display panel and extending in a horizontal direction; and a first rotation unit providing rotation of the head about a first swivel axis parallel to the display panel and extending in a vertical direction. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The display device of claim 11, further comprising: abase; and a pole extending from the base, wherein the cable extends from the display panel along the arm and the pole to be electrically connected to an electronic component disposed inside the base. ### Claim 13 A display device comprising: a base; a head including a display panel; a pole extending from the base; an arm having a first end coupled to the pole and a second end coupled to an articulated connector coupled to the head; and a cable reel having a cylindrical body coupled to the articulated connector and on which a cable is wound; an inner cover coupled to the articulated connector and covering a rear of the cable reel; and an outer cover disposed to surround the inner cover, wherein the arm is rotatably coupled to the articulated connector about a first swivel axis parallel to the display panel, and wherein the arm is rotatably coupled to the pole about a second swivel axis parallel to the pole. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The display device of claim 13, wherein the cable extends from the display panel along the arm and the pole to be electrically connected to an electronic component disposed inside the base. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The display device of claim 13, further comprising: a frame positioned behind the display panel; a back cover covering a rear of the frame; wherein the back cover is shaped to define a position configured to accommodate the outer cover.
