A connecting rod 20 is installed on one side of the main body 10. The connecting rod 20 is fixed to one side of the main body 10 by a pair of fixing members 21 so as to be spaced from the one side of the main body 10 by a predetermined distance. The gap G between the connecting rod 20 and one side surface of the main body 10 is determined by the pair of fixing members 20. [ The front surface 41 and the rear surface 42 of the connection channel 40 of the accessory unit 30 to be described later pass through the gap G between the connecting rod 20 and one side surface of the main body 10. The gap G between the connecting rod 20 and the one side surface of the main body portion 10 is determined according to the thickness t of the front surface 41 and the rear surface 42 of the connecting channel 40 of the accessory portion 30. [ It needs to be adjusted. For example, if the thickness t of the front surface 41 and the rear surface 42 of the connecting channel 40 of the accessory section 30 is large, the gap G between the connecting rods 20 is increased, If the thickness t of the front and rear surfaces 41 and 42 of the connecting rod 40 is thin, the gap G of the connecting rods 20 can be narrowed.
A pair of fixing members 21 can be installed near both ends of one side of the main body 10 as shown in Fig. The pair of fixing members 21 may be formed to have a length L capable of firmly fixing the connecting rod 20 to the main body 10. [
The connecting rod 20 is formed as a hollow hollow circular pipe. The connecting rods 20 may be formed to have the same outer diameter and inner diameter over the entire length. The connecting rods 20 may be formed of metal or a synthetic resin having appropriate strength. In this embodiment, the connecting rod 20 is formed to have the same length as one side of the main body 10.
The connecting rod 20 is formed to be inserted into the connecting channel 40 formed in the accessory 30 from both ends 20-1 and 20-2. For example, after the first end 20-1 of the connecting rod 20 is inserted into the insertion end 40-1 of the connecting channel 40 as shown in FIG. 3, the connecting rod 20 is pushed in The rod 20 and the connecting channel 40 can be combined. Alternatively, after inserting the second end 20-2 of the connecting rod 20 into the inserting end 40-1 of the connecting channel 40, the connecting rod 20 is pushed in to connect the connecting rod 20 The channel 40 can be coupled. In this case, the main body 10 is rotated in a state where the main body 10 is turned upside down, that is, the rear face 10b of the main body 10 without the touch screen 11 faces the accessory 30 And is coupled to the accessory portion 30.
The accessory part 30 is rotatably installed with respect to the main body part 10 and is capable of performing an additional function with respect to the main body part 10. The accessory portion 30 may include any as long as it can perform an additional function with respect to the main body portion 10. That is, the accessory section 30 may include various electronic device accessories that can be used by attaching to the electronic device. For example, the accessory section 30 may include a keyboard device for inputting character or symbol data, or a digitizer device for inputting coordinate information or positional relationships of figures or figures. In the following description, the accessory unit 30 will be described with reference to a keyboard device.
The accessory part 30 is formed to have a shape and size corresponding to the body part 10. [ A keyboard 50 and a connection channel 40 are provided on the front surface 30a of the accessory part 30. [ The keyboard 50 is the same as that of the conventional keyboard, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted. The keyboard 50 is attached to the front surface 30a of the accessory 30 so that the keyboard 50 is not pressed by the main body 10 when the front surface 30a of the accessory 30 is in contact with the main body 10. [ As shown in Fig. A touch pad 60 may be further provided on the front surface 30a of the accessory 30 in the same manner as the conventional notebook PC.
The connection channel 40 is formed by connecting the connecting rod 20 of the main body 10 to the keyboard 50 in the longitudinal direction of the keyboard 50, Respectively. The connection channel 40 is formed so that the connection channel 40 is positioned in the vicinity of the upper end 30b of the accessory portion 30 so that the rear surface 42 of the connection channel 40 is aligned with the upper end 30b of the accessory portion 30. [ .
The connection channel 40 is formed in an arc shape that surrounds the connection rod 20. Therefore, the connection channel 40 is formed to have an inner diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the connecting rod 20. [ When the connecting rod 20 is inserted into the connecting channel 40, friction is generated between the outer circumferential surface of the connecting rod 20 and the inner surface of the connecting channel 40, As shown in Fig. 1, the main body portion 10 provided with the connecting rod 20 is connected to the accessory portion 30 provided with the connecting channel 40 As shown in Fig. However, when a user applies a force to the main body 10, the angle? Between the main body 10 and the accessory 30 can be changed. Therefore, the frictional force between the connecting rod 20 and the connecting channel 40 should be at least large enough to support the weight of the main body 10.
As another embodiment, a rotation preventing member (not shown) may be further provided between the connecting rod 20 and the connecting channel 40 to prevent the body 10 from rotating with respect to the accessory 30. The rotation preventing member can be used for a hinge structure or the like of the notebook PC according to the related art, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
The upper end of the connecting channel 40 is opened longitudinally to form an opening 44 (see Fig. 3). The opening 44 of the connecting channel 40 is formed so that a pair of fixing members 21 of the main body 10 can pass through. The width W2 of the opening 44 of the connection channel 40 is formed to be larger than the width W1 of the fixing member 21 of the connecting rod 20. [ When the front surface 10a of the main body 10 and the front surface 30a of the accessory 30 are brought into close contact with each other so that the connection channel 40 does not protrude from the main body 10, The height H2 may be less than or equal to the height H1 of the main body 10.
The thickness t of the front surface 41 and the rear surface 42 of the connection channel 40 is formed to be smaller than the gap G between the connecting rod 20 and one side surface of the main body 10. Since the front and rear surfaces 41 and 42 of the connecting channel 40 can pass the gap G between the connecting rod 20 and one side surface of the main body 10, The main body 10 to which the connecting rod 20 is attached can freely rotate with respect to the accessory part 30 provided with the connecting channel 40. [
The connection channel 40 is formed to have a length L2 shorter than the distance L1 between the pair of fixing members 21 provided on the main body 10. [ Therefore, when the connecting rod 20 is inserted into the connecting channel 40, the connecting channel 40 and the fixing member 21 of the main body 10 are not interfered with each other, (10) can freely rotate with respect to the accessory part (30) provided with the connecting channel (40).
As shown in FIG. 1, the accessory part 30 is configured to support the main body 10 in a state inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the floor surface. Therefore, the accessory portion 30 may be heavier than the main body portion 10. To this end, power supply means (not shown) may be installed in the accessory section 30. [ As the power supply means, a battery can be used. The battery can be replaced with a disposable battery or a rechargeable battery.

The main body portion 10 and the accessory portion 30 can be electrically connected when the main body portion 10 is an electronic device and the accessory portion 30 is a device capable of inputting commands or data to the electronic device.
At least one contact point 81, 82, 83 may be provided between the connecting rod 20 and the connecting channel 40 for electrical connection between the main body 10 and the accessory 30. At least one contact point (81, 82, 83) can be provided at the center in the longitudinal direction of the connecting rod (20). For example, when the main body portion 10 is a tablet PC and the accessory portion 30 is constituted by a keyboard device including a keyboard 50 and a power supply means, Signal contacts 82 and 83 and a power source contact 81 may be provided between the connection channels 40. 8A, the center contact 81 is a power supply contact for supplying power, and the contacts 82 and 83 on the left and right of the center contact are respectively connected to a keyboard contact 82 for transmitting a keyboard signal and a USB port And a contact 83 for the USB.
The display device 1 according to the present invention can couple the body portion 10 to the accessory portion 30 in two ways. 3 and 4, the connecting rod 20 of the main body part 10 is connected to the connecting channel 40 of the accessory part 30 with the touch screen 11 facing the keyboard 50 And a method in which the rear surface 10b of the main body 10, that is, the surface without the touch screen 11 faces the keyboard 50 as shown in FIG. 5, 20 to the connection channel 40 of the accessory part 30. [
When the direction in which the main body 10 is fastened to the accessory part 30 is changed as described above, the positions of the contacts 81, 82, and 83 provided in the connecting rod 20 can be changed. Accordingly, the contacts 81, 82, 83 connecting the main body 10 and the accessory 30 are also configured in consideration of this. For example, when one contact is used, a contact is provided at the center of the connecting rod 20 in the longitudinal direction. When a plurality of contacts 81, 82, and 83 are used, one contact is configured to function as a sensor for detecting the direction in which the main body 10 is coupled to the accessory 30, The main body 10 can be configured to receive and convert the arrangement of the contacts. Since the conventional technique can be used for the arrangement of the contact, detailed description thereof will be omitted.
8B shows an example of a contact structure provided between the connecting rod 20 of the main body 10 and the connecting channel 40 of the accessory 30. As shown in FIG. 8B, the contact point 81 includes a rotary electrode 81a surrounding the electric pole of the connection rod 20 with a predetermined width and a fixed electrode 81a provided on the inner surface of the connection channel 40 and contacting the rotary electrode 81a. And an electrode 81b. The rotary electrode 81a of the connecting rod 20 is electrically connected to the calculation unit provided inside the main body 10 and the fixed electrode 81b is connected to the keyboard 50 of the accessory 30, Respectively. Accordingly, the signal of the keyboard 50 can be transmitted to the main body unit 10 through the contact point 81.
As another example of the electrical connection structure, a connector can be used. FIG. 9A is a view showing a case where a connector is used as an example of electrical connection of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9B is a partial cross-sectional view schematically showing a case where the connector of FIG.
9A and 9B, a display device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a connection channel 40 and a male connector 91 installed on a front surface 30a of an accessory part 30, do. The male connector 91 may be installed inside the protective cover 92 as shown in Fig. 9B. The male connector 91 is installed at a distance from the connection channel 40.
The female connector 93 corresponding to the male connector 91 provided in the accessory part 30 is installed at both ends of the connecting rod 20. [ The male connector 91 and the female connector 93 can be separated from each other so that the male connector 91 and the female connector 93 can be engaged and disengaged when the connecting rod 20 is coupled to and separated from the connecting channel 40 . The display device 1 according to the present invention can be coupled to the main body portion 10 by two methods. Therefore, the main body portion 10 can be coupled by two coupling methods The female connector 93 is installed at both ends of the connecting rod 20 so that the main body 10 and the accessory 30 can be electrically connected. 9B shows only the structure of the female connector 93 provided at the one end 20-1 of the connecting rod 20. The female connector 93 having the same structure is also provided at the other end 20-2 of the connecting rod 20, . The female connector 93 and the male connector 91 provided in the main body 10 and the accessory 30 are appropriately selected depending on the number of electrical signals to be transmitted between the main body 10 and the accessory 30 Lt; / RTI &gt;
Hereinafter, a method of using a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.
The display device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention can use only the main body 10 in a state in which the accessory part 30 is detached. For example, when the main body portion 10 is a tablet PC, only the tablet PC can be used without the keyboard as the accessory portion 30. [
If it is necessary to use the keyboard 50, the user joins the keyboard unit, which is the accessory unit 30, When the accessory part 30 is coupled to the main body part 10, the user inserts one end of the connecting rod 20 of the main body part 10 into one end of the connecting channel 40 of the accessory part 30, -1). The connecting rod 20 moves along the connecting channel 40 as shown in FIG. 4 so that the accessory part 30 is moved in the longitudinal direction of the connecting channel 40 of the accessory part 30, (10). The fixing member 21 is inserted into the opening 44 of the connecting channel 40 so that the pair of fixing members 21 connecting the connecting rod 20 to the main body 10 do not interfere with the connecting channel 40. [ . When the opening 44 of the connection channel 40 is formed in a direction perpendicular to the front surface 30a of the accessory part 30 as in the present embodiment, The fixing member 21 can be inserted into the opening 44 of the connecting channel 40 without interfering with the connecting channel 40. In this case, When the main body portion 10 is pushed to the end with the main body portion 10 substantially perpendicular to the accessory portion 30, the coupling of the main body portion 10 and the accessory portion 30 is completed.
When the coupling is completed, the pair of fixing members 21 of the main body 10 are located at positions out of both ends of the connecting channel 40. Since the main body 10 is supported by the frictional force between the outer circumferential surface of the connecting rod 20 and the inner surface of the connecting channel 40, even after the main body 10 and the accessory 30 are coupled, (10) maintains a state perpendicular to the accessory part (30). Accordingly, the user can rotate the main body 10 to make the angle? Between the main body 10 and the accessory 30 obtuse as shown in FIG. Then, the user can use the display device 1 according to the present invention in the same manner as the conventional notebook PC.
After completing the use of the display device 1, the user can cover the body portion 10 with the accessory portion 30 as shown in Fig. That is, the main body portion 10 can be covered so that the touch screen 11 of the main body portion 10 is placed on the keyboard 50 of the accessory portion 30. Since the touch screen 11 is not exposed to the outside, it is convenient to carry it like a conventional notebook PC.
Further, the display device 1 according to the present invention can be used in the same manner as a tablet PC. To this end, the user removes the body portion 10 which is coupled to the accessory portion 30. When the user pushes the main body 10 in a direction parallel to the connecting channel 40 of the accessory 30, the connecting rod 20 of the main body 10 contacts the connecting channel 40 ). At this time, the pair of fixing members 21 of the main body 10 coincide with the openings 44 of the connecting channel 40 of the accessory part 30. Then, since the fixing member 21 does not interfere with the connecting channel 40, the connecting rod 20 can be separated from the connecting channel 30.
The user then rotates the main body 10 by 180 degrees so that the touch screen 11 does not face the keyboard 50 of the accessory 30. That is, the rear surface 10b of the main body 10 faces the keyboard 50. The second end 20-2 of the connecting rod 20 of the main body 10 faces the entrance 40-1 of the connecting channel 40 of the accessory 30. [ In this state, when the connecting rod 20 is inserted into the connecting channel 40, the main body 10 is coupled to the accessory 30. At this time, the rear surface 10b of the main body 10 faces the keyboard 50 of the accessory 30. [ In this state, the main body 10 is rotated so as to be brought into contact with the front surface 30a of the accessory part 30. The rear surface 10b of the main body 10 is positioned on the keyboard 50 of the accessory 30 and the touch screen 11 of the main body 10 is moved to the outside Exposed. Thus, the user can use the display device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention like a tablet PC.
