Abstract
The power control apparatus in a display device including a button, a link bar and a power switch is provided. The monitor includes a bracket, a circuit board and a panel. The bracket includes a guiding slot. The button, which includes a first end and a second end, is located on the panel. The first end is provided to be accessed by a user. The link bar has a first end and a second end. The first end of the link bar contacts with the second end of the button such that the link bar moves responsive to movement of the button. The power switch, responsive to movement of the second end of the link bar, selectively applies a power supply to the circuit board. The link bar includes an engagement portion for engaging with and sliding longitudinally along the bracket. The link bar of the invention is easily installed and disjoined and does not occupy the space on the print circuit board.
