Claim:
1. A display device for an aircraft, the device comprising: an exterior first surface forming a first side of the device; an exterior second surface forming a second side of the device opposite the first side; a display adapted for displaying images on a display surface which is arranged such that it constitutes at least a portion of the first surface; at least one electrical and/or data terminal for connection to a mating connector of a cable; and a housing arrangement to which the display and the at least one terminal are mounted; wherein the second surface is a portion of the housing arrangement and comprises an engagement portion extending in a plane and being arranged such that the device can be mounted to a planar wall of the aircraft with the engagement portion in contact with the wall; wherein the second surface comprises at least one recess, wherein each of the at least one terminal is arranged completely in one of the at least one recess in such a manner that the respective terminal is facing in a direction transverse to a surface normal of the engagement portion, and wherein each of the at least one recess is completely surrounded by the engagement portion, wherein the device is adapted to display, in operation on the display surface, images in a predetermined orientation defining a horizontal direction, a vertical direction, an upper end, a lower end and lateral sides of the device, wherein for each of the at least one terminal the direction in which the respective terminal is facing is inclined downwardly with respect to the horizontal direction of the device; and wherein at least one of the at least one recess comprises a lateral wall in which at least two of the terminals are provided one above the other with respect to the vertical direction of the device, wherein each of the at least two terminals is provided in a separate first lateral wall section with the respective terminal facing perpendicularly with respect to the respective first lateral wall section, and a second lateral wall section is located between each of the first lateral wall sections, and wherein each of the first lateral wall sections is inclined at an angle of 15° to 45° with respect to the vertical direction of the device to form an overhang region, and each of the second lateral wall sections is extending into the recess beyond the horizontal position of the upper end of the upper one of the two first lateral wall sections between which the respective second lateral wall section is located.
