Patent number: 6122019Abstract: A monitor is provided that conceals the cable connection parts of the power and the signal cables inside the monitor's housing, which improves the monitor's appearance. The design of the rear housing and its attachments reduces manufacturing defects related to the signal cable caused while attaching the front and rear portions of the housing. Thus, improving production efficiency during the assembly of the monitor. The power and signal cables are connected to the monitor's interfaces in a direction perpendicular to the bottom of the housing. This reduces the space required between the monitor and a wall to avoid damaging the cable connections while rotating the monitor. The monitor also has a box inside the rear housing module which allows users to store a manual and small-sized tools in the box.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 1997Date of Patent: September 19, 2000Assignee: SamSung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sung-Dae Do, Kwey-Hyun Kim
