A battery 19 is disposed on a side of the rear shell 12 facing away from the display screen 11 and is electrically connected to the driving circuit board 16.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
In some examples, the first fitting portion 1a is a guide strip 131, and the second fitting portion 2a is a guide groove V1 along which the guide strip 131 is slidable. The guide groove V1 and the guide strip 131 may both extend along a height direction of the electronic signboard. It should be noted that the height direction of the electronic signboard refers to the height direction of the electronic signboard in normal use, i.e., the up-down direction in
As shown in
As shown in
In other examples, the abutting portion 132 in
In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the mounting plate 21 has a mounting surface and a supporting surface opposite to the mounting surface. The supporting surface is a surface opposite to the rear shell 12, and the mounting surface is a surface opposite to the mounting base. In the embodiment shown in
It should be further noted that the above embodiment is illustrated taking the case where the guide strip 131 is provided on the protruding structure 13 and the guide groove V1 is provided on the mounting plate 21 as an example, but in practical applications, the guide strip 131 may be provided on the mounting plate 21, while the guide groove V1 may be provided on the protruding structure 13.
