  7. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the stand base includes: a front base in front of the stand neck, and a rear base at a rear of the stand neck, wherein the rear base is configured to include a portion that is tapered toward a rear of the rear base in a left-to-right direction.
  8. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the stand neck includes: an extension portion configured to be coupled to the stand base, and a neck connected to the extension portion so as to extend upward from the stand base to be connected to the display to support the display on the stand, wherein an angle between the neck and the support surface is less than 90°.
  9. The display apparatus of claim 8, wherein a first side of the reflective portion is connected to the inclined portion, and a second side of the reflective portion is connected to the neck, so that the reflective portion is perpendicular to the inclined portion.
  10. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the stand neck includes: a first stand neck connected to a first side of the stand base, and a second stand neck connected to a second side of the stand base, and the reflective portion is coupled to the first stand neck and the second stand neck so as to cover the first stand neck, the second stand neck, and a space between the first stand neck and the second stand neck.
  11. The display apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: the display, wherein the display includes a plurality of light emitting portions spaced apart along a lower end portion of the display.
  12. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the reflective portion includes a switchable mirror display that is operable in a mirror mode or a transparent display mode.
  13. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the stand base includes a plurality of stand light emitting portions spaced apart from each other along an edge of at least a portion of the stand base.
  14. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the reflective portion is a mirror covering at least a portion of a front surface of the stand neck.

Description

[Technical Field] The disclosure relates to a display apparatus including a stand. [Background Art] In general, a display apparatus is a type of output device that converts acquired or stored electrical information into visual information and displays such information to a user, and is used in various fields, such as homes and businesses. Display apparatuses may be classified into two types: self-emissive, which includes display panels that emit light by themselves, such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), and non-emissive, which includes display panels that do not emit light by themselves and must be supplied with light from a backlight unit (BLU), such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs). A display apparatus may include a display arranged to display a screen, and a support arranged to support the display. The support may include a wall mount for supporting the display so that the display is mounted on a wall, and a stand for supporting the display so that the display is placed on a piece of furniture or on the floor. The wall mount is located behind the display and is not visible to the user, but the stand is visible to the user, so the stand may affect the overall appearance of the display apparatus. [Disclosure] [Technical Problem] One aspect of the present disclosure provides a display apparatus that allows a user to focus on a screen of a display by reducing the presence of a stand. Technical tasks to be achieved in this document are not limited to the technical tasks mentioned above, and other technical tasks not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below. [Technical Solution] According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a display apparatus includes a stand configured to support a display, the stand including a stand base configured to be supported on a support surface, the stand base including an inclined portion configured to be inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the support surface when the stand base is supported on the support surface, and a stand neck configured to connect a rear surface of the display and the stand base to support the display on the stand, the stand neck including a reflective portion that is connected to the inclined portion so that the reflective portion is perpendicular to the inclined portion, wherein the reflective portion is configured to reflect the inclined portion.
