The present invention relates to a mounting apparatus of a display unit, and more particularly, to a mounting apparatus of a display unit having improved structure to improve user convenience and durability.

The conventional cathode ray tube (CRT) type display unit is large in size because the cathode ray tube for the video display, the electron gun mounted on the cathode ray tube, various electric components, etc. protrudes substantially to the rear of the device. In particular, since most people often want a large screen, the size of the display unit is further increased.

As a result, the area occupied by display units in homes and offices has increased day by day, and the utilization of space has further decreased.

However, due to the development of technology, the display unit is shifted from the CRT type to the flat panel display unit type that can realize a large screen flat image based on a flat image display device such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Panel) or a plasma display panel (PDP). In addition, the thickness of the display unit is considerably thin so that it is possible to maintain a thin screen even in a small screen as well as a large screen.

For this reason, the existing cathode ray tube is excluded and gradually replaced by LCD or LCD. This is due to the decisive problem that the overall volume of the display device can not be reduced due to the inevitable volume of the cathode ray tube, and the LCD panel or PDDP panel described above has revolutionized the volume problem of these products. In addition, since it emits much less electromagnetic waves than the cathode ray tube display device, there is an advantage that can satisfy the needs of users.

The flat panel display unit using such a thin type LCD or PDP panel can be mounted using a device such as a separate holder or turntable, and is installed as a wall-hung type for hanging the device on a wall. It is possible to use the space is high, and the installation is also easy, contributing to the convenience of users.

It is made of a cover, etc., the frame for the wall can be mounted with the back of the back cover.

On the other hand, the display unit needs to be swiveled left and right in order to secure a sufficient viewing angle of the user while the display unit is mounted on a wall, which is particularly a flat plate having a relatively narrow viewing angle such as LCD or PDDP. There is a greater need for type display units.

To this end, it has been generally configured to be swivelable with a multi-joint link rotatably coupled to the left and right sides of the back of the display unit.

However, in the mounting apparatus of the conventional display unit, the swiveling adjustment angle is limited according to the length of the articulated link, and there is a limit to the adjustment angle that can be adjusted to the maximum. In addition, when swiveling the display unit, the distance from the wall is dropped, occupies a lot of external space, and there was a limit to mounting the wall stably.
