An electronic apparatus includes a display panel which displays an image; a cover unit which covers the display panel; and support system including a support member. The support member which includes a hinge unit which is rotably formed in the forward and backward directions in the rear side of the cover unit, a first support which is downwardly bent and extends from the hinge unit, and a second support which is upwardly bent and extends from the hinge unit. The configuration of the support system on the electronic apparatus permits a stable support at a variety of angles on an installation plane.

1. An electronic apparatus comprising: a display panel which displays an image;a cover unit including a front cover which covers a front portion of the display panel, a rear cover, and a support bracket arranged between the display panel and the rear cover, the support bracket supporting the display
1. An electronic apparatus comprising: a display panel which displays an image;a cover unit including a front cover which covers a front portion of the display panel, a rear cover, and a support bracket arranged between the display panel and the rear cover, the support bracket supporting the display panel, and the rear cover covering a rear portion of the support bracket; anda support member system including: i) a hinge unit that rotates in forward and backward directions and is arranged at the rear cover of the cover unit; ii) a first support having a downward bend and extending from the hinge unit; and iii) a second support, shorter than the first support, having an upward bend and extending from the hinge unit;wherein the hinge unit is coupled to the support bracket and is arranged at an upper region of the cover unit. 2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first support and second support are integrally formed. 3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the hinge unit is arranged at least partially within an upper region of the cover unit. 4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein an angle between the first and second supports is greater than 90° and less than 160° C. 5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the front cover and rear cover of the cover unit are proportionally sized such that the cover unit covers an entirety of a lateral area of the electronic apparatus. 6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the hinge unit includes: a hinge shaft;a hinge bracket which rotably couples the hinge shaft to the support bracket; anda hinge shaft connector which connects the first support and the second support to the hinge shaft. 7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the hinge shaft, the hinge shaft connector and the first and second supports are coupled using a single fastener. 8. The electronic apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the rear cover has a through-hole therein which defines a rotation space of the hinge shaft connector. 9. The electronic apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the hinge shaft has a non-circular peripheral surface having a plurality of edges, and wherein the hinge shaft connector is arranged to surround at least one of the plurality of edges of the hinge shaft. 10. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the support member further includes a non-slip member which arranged at a bottom of the first support. 11. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display panel comprises a touch screen. 12. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the electronic apparatus comprises an all-in-one computer which accommodates at least a main board, a central processing unit and a memory within the cover unit. 13. The electronic apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the electronic apparatus comprises an all-in-one computer which accommodates at least a main board, a central processing unit and a memory within the cover unit. 14. An electronic apparatus comprising: a display panel which displays an image;a cover unit which covers at least a portion of the display panel; anda support member which supports the cover unit with respect to an installation plane,wherein the support member includes:a hinge unit which rotates in the forward and backward directions and is arranged in a rear side of the cover unit;a first support which has a downward bend and extends from the hinge unit to reciprocate between a support position at which the first support pivots away from the cover unit by rotation of the hinge and supports the cover unit in a first orientation with respect to an installation plane, and an approach position at which the first support pivots toward the cover unit; anda second support which has an upward bend and extends from the hinge unit, said second support pivots toward the cover unit at the support position of the first support, and pivots away from the cover unit at the approach position of the first support, so as to support the cover unit in a second orientation with respect to an installation plane, which second orientation is substantially different from said first orientation;wherein,the first support and second support are interconnected with a closed-loop shape;the first support is longer than the second support;the hinge unit is arranged at an upper region of the cover unit;an angle between the first and second supports is greater than 90° and less than 160° C. ;the cover unit includes a support bracket arranged in back of the display panel along a rear portion and which supports the display panel, a front cover which covers a front portion of the display panel, and a rear cover which covers a rear portion of the support bracket, andthe hinge unit is coupled to the support bracket. 15. The electronic apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the electronic apparatus comprises an all-in-one computer which accommodates at least a main board, a central processing unit and a memory within the cover unit. 16. An electronic apparatus comprising: a display panel having front and rear portions, the front portion for displaying an image;a cover unit having front and rear covers, the rear cover covering at least a portion of a rear portion of the display panel; anda support member system which includes a hinge unit which rotates in forward and backward directions and is arranged at a rear side of the cover unit, a first support having a downward bend and extending in a downward direction from the hinge unit to rotate through the hinge unit, and a second support having an upward bend and extending from the hinge unit in an upward direction to rotate through the hinge unit, said display panel being positionable into first and second substantially different stable angular orientations with respect to a generally horizontal installation surface, where in the first stable position said hinge is rotated so that a portion of said first support supports the rear portion of said cover unit, and where in the second stable position said hinge is rotated so that a portion of said second support supports the rear portion of said cover unit;wherein,the first support and second support are interconnected with a closed-loop shape;the first support is longer than the second support;the hinge unit is arranged at an upper region of the cover unit;an angle between the first and second supports is greater than 90° and less than 160° C. ;the cover unit includes a support bracket arranged in back of the display panel along a rear portion and which supports the display panel, the front cover covers a front portion of the display panel, and the rear cover covers a rear portion of the support bracket, andthe hinge unit is coupled to the support bracket.
