(54)	Supporting device for display apparatus and display apparatus having the same

(57) A supporting device (20) for a display apparatus, including a supporting bracket (50) coupled to the display apparatus, a base (30), a stand (40) to connect the base (30) to the supporting bracket (50), and a connector mechanism (100) to rotatably connect the stand (40) to the supporting bracket (50). The connector mechanism (100) includes a first connecting unit to rotatably connect the stand (40) to the supporting bracket (50), the first connecting unit (210) 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 (250) 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 (210) and the second connecting unit (250) are formed as separate assemblies.
