Abstract

The present invention includes flat-panel type display section ( 11 ), main body ( 12 ) which supports this flat-panel type display section ( 11 ), angle adjustment mechanism ( 13 ) for adjusting an inclination angle to a perpendicular direction of a display surface of flat-panel type display section ( 11 ), and shelf member ( 14 ) on which an article is to be placed. Then, as for shelf member ( 14 ), one end of the shelf member is provided near an upper edge of flat-panel type display section ( 11 ), and the other end of the shelf member is supported by main body ( 12 ). According to the present invention, since supporting plate ( 22 ) of shelf member ( 11 ) is supported by main body ( 12 ), shelf member ( 14 ) is not moved in connection with flat-panel type display section ( 11 ) when the display angle of flat-panel type display section ( 11 ) is adjusted by angle adjustment mechanism ( 13 ), and hence, the article is stably placed on shelf member ( 14 ).

Claims (22)

1. An electronic equipment, comprising:

a flat-panel type display section;

a supporting section which supports said flat-panel type display section;

an angle adjustment mechanism for adjusting a display angle of said flat-panel type display section; and

a shelf member on which an article is to be placed, wherein, as for said shelf member, one end of said shelf member is provided near an upper edge of said flat-panel type display section, and the other end of said shelf member is supported by said supporting section,

wherein said supporting section supports said flat-panel type display section through said angle adjustment mechanism, and wherein said angle adjustment mechanism is located at a downside of a center of a vertical direction of said supporting section.

2. The electronic equipment according to claim 1 , wherein said angle adjustment mechanism adjusts an inclination angle to a perpendicular direction of a display surface of said flat-panel type display section.

3. The electronic equipment according to claim 1 , wherein said angle adjustment mechanism adjusts a rotation angle around an axis in a perpendicular direction of a display surface of said flat-panel type display section.

4. The electronic equipment according to claim 1 , wherein said supporting section has a control section which controls information outputted to said flat-panel type display section, and a housing which covers said control section; and

wherein said shelf member is supported by said housing.

5. The electronic equipment according to claim 4 , wherein said flat-panel type display section is supported by said housing through said angle adjustment mechanism; and

wherein a location, where said angle adjustment mechanism is supported by said housing, is placed below a location, where said shelf member is supported by said housing.

6. The electronic equipment according to claim 1 , wherein said supporting section has a control section which controls information outputted to said flat-panel type display section, a housing which covers said control section, and a supporting table which not only supports said housing, but also supports said flat-panel type display section through said angle adjustment mechanism; and

wherein said shelf member is fixed to said housing.

7. The electronic equipment according to claim 1 , wherein said shelf member has a shelf board provided near an upper edge of said flat-panel type display section, and a supporting plate which is connected to said shelf board and supported by said supporting section.

8. The electronic equipment according to claim 7 , wherein said supporting plate of said shelf member is fixed to a front side of said housing which faces a back face of said flat-panel type display section.

9. The electronic equipment according to claim 1 , wherein said shelf member has a screw hole for performing a screw clamp to said supporting section, and latch means latched by said supporting section.

10.
