Abstract

According to one embodiment, a television receiver includes a housing, a support portion, a first movable portion, and a second movable portion. The first movable portion includes a sliding portion supported by one of the housing and the support portion to be rotatable in at least two directions. The second movable portion rotates in a first rotation direction with the first movable portion, and includes a second sliding portion, a first engagement portion, and a second engagement portion. The second sliding portion is supported by the one of the housing and the support portion to be rotatable in the first rotation direction. The first engagement portion engages with the one of the housing and the support portion to limit a rotation range in the first rotation direction. The second engagement portion engages with the first movable portion to limit a rotation range in a second rotation direction.
