Abstract
Provided are a supporting apparatus for display devices and a display device having the same, which make it possible to simplify construction, compared to the conventional ones, to provide easier production and to reduce production costs, as well as to maintain uniform motion of a main body of the display device when adjusting a viewing angle of a display screen of the main body. The supporting apparatus for display devices includes a supporting bracket provided to a main body of the display device, a base supporting the main body, a stand coupled to the base at a lower portion thereof and to the supporting bracket at an upper portion thereof, and a joint rotatably connecting the upper portion of the stand and the supporting bracket. Here, the joint includes a curved plug that is provided at the upper portion of the stand and has a curved outer surface, a curved socket that is formed at the supporting bracket so as to be coupled with the curved plug, and an elastic member that is interposed and connected between the curved plug and the curved socket.
