Abstract
A supporting device for a display apparatus, including a supporting bracket coupled to the display apparatus, a base, a stand to connect the base to the supporting bracket, and a connector mechanism to rotatably connect the stand to the supporting bracket. The connector mechanism includes a first connecting unit to rotatably connect the stand to the supporting bracket, the first connecting unit having a retainer structure to divide a rotation range of the display apparatus relative to the stand into a screen angle adjusting range and a folding range. The connector mechanism further includes a second connecting unit to rotatably connect the stand to the supporting bracket, the second connecting unit having a frictional structure to provide a rotation-coupling region thereof with a frictional force. The first connecting unit and the second connecting unit are formed as separate assemblies.
