A display device comprising:
- a display unit configured to display images;
- a sound unit configured to output audio, the sound unit having top and bottom left speakers and top and bottom right speakers;
- a speaker positioning mechanism configured to detachably support the sound unit and move the sound unit away from and close to the display unit in a lateral direction of the display unit;
- and
- a speaker attaching mechanism configured to detachably couple the sound unit to upper and lower faces of the display unit,
- the speaker positioning mechanism including arms with axle bearings, and axles that are disposed at the top and bottom left speakers and the top and bottom right speakers,
- the arms being configured to extend and retract in the lateral direction, the arms being further configured to rotatably support the top and bottom left speakers and the top and bottom right speakers,
- the axles being detachably coupled to the axle bearings so that the top and bottom left speakers and the top and bottom right speakers are rotatable with respect to the display unit, the axles being detached from the arms when the top and bottom left speakers and the top and bottom right speakers are detached,
- the axles including cylindrical shafts,
- the axle bearings including circular grooves formed on ends of the arms, the top and bottom left speakers and the top and bottom right speakers being rotatable with respect to the display unit about the axles of the speaker positioning mechanism, respectively,
- the speaker attaching mechanism including protrusions formed on the top and bottom left speakers and the top and bottom right speakers, respectively, and rail grooves formed on upper and lower portions of a back face of the display unit, respectively, the grooves extending in the lateral direction of the display unit, each rail grooves opening in the back face of the display unit and in a respective one of left and right side faces, and
- the protrusions being configured to be slidably coupled to the rail grooves, respectively, so that the top and bottom left speakers and the top and bottom right speakers are attached to the upper and lower faces of the display unit.
