Benefits of technology

The invention is a display rotation apparatus that allows for efficient use of space and provides a large viewing angle even when the viewer changes position. The apparatus includes a fixed body and a moving body, with a joint part and arm parts that act to rotate the moving body. A driving part generates rotation force, and a rotation part receives the force and applies it to the arm parts. The apparatus also includes distance detecting sensors to prevent collisions and ensure accurate positioning of the display. The technical effects of the invention include efficient use of space, a large viewing angle, and accurate positioning of the display.

Problems solved by technology

However, when the TV is fixed to a wall surface, the position that allows the largest viewing angle of the TV screen is also fixed, and as a viewer changes his position, adequate viewing may not be obtained.
It is difficult to modify the TV's position with the conventional wall-mount TV, because there is little or no distance between the TV and the wall, and even if the TV is spaced from the wall surface by means of additional members, it is not possible to rotate the TV to a desired orientation.
Also, attempting to resolve such problems using an apparatus to maintain some distance may result in another problem of degrading the elegant appearance and the efficiency in utilizing an indoor space, which are important benefits of wall-mount TV's.

A display rotation apparatus, interposed between a fixed body and a moving body and rotating the moving body about the fixed body, comprising plural joint parts coupled to the moving body; plural arm parts, one end coupled to the joint part and the other end coupled to the fixed body, comprising a link member and a hinge member configured to joint act; and a driving part, coupled to the hinge member, rotating the arm part can rotate the display in variable directions.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2006-0053633 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Jun. 14, 2006, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND [0002] 1. Technical Field [0003] The invention is related to a display rotation apparatus and rotating method thereof. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] Flat panel displays, such as TV's or monitors employing LCD, PDP, LED, etc., provide the benefit of allowing efficient use of spaces, and are fast replacing Braun tube TV's and monitors. The increase in demand for such flat panel displays is expected to continue into the future. In particular, flat panel LCD or PDP TV's, often referred to as “wall-mount TV's,” are fixedly attached to wall surfaces for use. When viewing a wall-mount TV thus fixed, the largest viewing angle is achieved directly in front of the TV. [0006] However, when th...
