At this time, the upper coupling portion 15a of the display 10 and the second coupling portion 217 of the stand 20 may be coupled together. For example, a distance between the display 10 and the floor F when the display 10 is in the first position P1 may be less than the distance between the display 10 and the floor F when the display 10 is in the second position P2. With the coupling of the lower coupling portion 15b of the display 10 and the second coupling portion 217 of the stand 20, the display 10 may be positioned in a relatively low position. With the coupling of the upper coupling portion 15a of the display 10 and the second coupling portion 217 of the stand 20, the display 10 may be positioned in a relatively high position. Depending on which of the upper coupling portion 15a and the lower coupling portion 15b is coupled to the second coupling portion 217, the height of the display 10 may be adjustable.

The position of the upper coupling portion 15a may vary. The position of the lower coupling portion 15b may vary. As the position of the upper coupling portion 15a and the lower coupling portion 15a is varied, the height of the display 10 may also be varied. In addition to the upper coupling portion 15a and the lower coupling portion 15a, an additional coupling portion may be further provided. For example, the first coupling portion 15 may include a middle coupling portion (not shown) positioned between the upper coupling portion 15a and the lower coupling portion 15b.

Next, with reference to
When the first coupling portion 15 of the display 10 is coupled to the second coupling portion 217 of the stand 20, the display 10 may be supported by the stand 20. Because the first coupling portion 15 of the display 10 is coupled to the second coupling portion 217 of the stand 20, the display 10 may be mounted on the stand 20. The first coupling portion 15 of the display 10 may be mounted to the second coupling portion 217 of the stand 20. The first coupling portion 15 of the display 10 may be provided to hang the second coupling portion 217 of the stand 20.
As the display 10 moves (e.g., slidably) downwardly relative to the stand 20, the first coupling portion 15 may be arranged to be coupled to the second coupling portion 217. For example, with the first coupling portion 15 positioned above the second coupling portion 217, as the display 10 moves downwardly relative to the stand 20, the first coupling portion 15 may be arranged to be caught by the second coupling portion 217. For example, as the display 10 moves downwardly with respect to the stand 20, at least a portion of the first coupling portion 15 may be arranged to be inserted into the second coupling portion 217. For example, as the display 10 slidably moves downwardly with respect to the stand 20, at least a portion of the first coupling portion 15 may be arranged to be inserted into the second coupling portion 217. For example, the coupling neck 152 may be inserted into the first coupling groove 2171. For example, the coupling neck 152 may be inserted into the first coupling groove 2171. For example, the coupling neck 152 inserted into the first coupling groove 2171 may be supported by the first support portion 2173. For example, the coupling head 153 may be inserted into the second coupling groove 2172. For example, the coupling head 153 may be inserted into the second coupling groove 2172. For example, the coupling head 153 inserted into the second coupling groove 2172 may be supported by the second support portion 2174.
In contrast to the above, as the display 10 moves (e.g., slidably) upwardly relative to the stand 20, the first coupling portion 15 may be arranged to be separated from the second coupling portion 217. For example, with at least a portion of the first coupling portion 15 received in the second coupling portion 217, as the display 10 moves upwardly relative to the stand 20, the first coupling portion 15 may be arranged to be separated from the second coupling portion 217. For example, as the display 10 moves upwardly relative to the stand 20, at least a portion of the first coupling portion 15 may be arranged to be withdrawn from the second coupling portion 217. For example, as the display 10 slidably moves upwardly relative to the stand 20, at least a portion of the first coupling portion 15 may be arranged to be withdrawn from the second coupling portion 217. For example, the coupling neck 152 may be removed from the first coupling groove 2171. For example, the coupling head 153 may be removed from the second coupling groove 2172.
A user may hang the display 10 on the stand 20 with the first coupling portion 15 of the display 10 and the second coupling portion 217 of the stand 20 aligned, thereby coupling the display 10 and the stand 20. The user may separate the display 10 and the stand 20 by lifting the display 10 from the stand 20. According to the present disclosure, no separate fasteners, tools, or the like may be required to assemble or disassemble the display 10 and the stand 20. The user may easily couple and/or uncouple the display 10 and the stand 20. As a result, the usability of the display apparatus 1 may be increased.
