Abstract
A display apparatus includes panels, and a connection member that connects the panels. Relative positions of the panels can be changed to a first state, a second state, and a third state. The connection member includes end portions and a connection region between the end portions. The connection region is superimposed on a different one of the panels in the first state and the second state.
Claims14
A display apparatus comprising:
- a first panel having a display unit on a first plane having a first side and a second side orthogonal to the first side;
- a second panel having a display unit on a second plane having a third side and a fourth side orthogonal to the third side;
- a connection member configured to connect the first panel and the second panel;
- a first holding unit configured to hold a first end portion of the connection member at a position adjacent to the first side the first panel;
- a second holding unit configured to hold a second end portion of the connection member at a position adjacent to the fourth side of the second panel;
- and
- a connection region between the first end portion and the second end portion in the connection member,
- wherein relative positions of the first panel and the second panel are changed such that the display apparatus has a first state in which the first plane and the second plane face toward a same direction and the first side and the third side are adjacent to each other, a second state in which the first plane and the second plane face toward a same direction and the second side and the fourth side are adjacent to each other, and a third state in which a back side of the first plane and a back side of the second plane face each other,
- wherein the first end portion is held by the first holding unit so as to be rotatable about a first axis substantially in parallel with the first side,
- wherein the second end portion is held by the second holding unit so as to be rotatable about a second axis substantially in parallel with the fourth side and orthogonal to the first axis, and
- wherein the connection region is superimposed on a different one of the panels in the first state and the second state of the display apparatus when the display apparatus is viewed from the first plane side and the second plane side.
