Abstract:
1. A display apparatus comprising: an electronic equipment main body; a rotating mechanism; a sliding/moving mechanism; a unit housed within the electronic equipment main body, said unit being movable in a horizontal direction relative to the electronic equipment main body by use of the sliding/moving mechanism, said unit having a first member and a rotatable member, said rotatable member having a display unit coupled thereto and being rotatably joined to the first member by way of a rotary shaft, said rotatable member being tiltable and rotatable around the rotary shaft and against gravity by the rotating mechanism from a horizontal position to a position for use; a first elastic member for spring-biasing said rotatable member around the rotary shaft to cause said rotatable member to rise from the horizontal position; and a second elastic member for spring-biasing said rotatable member in a direction of rotation while said rotatable member is being rotated from the horizontal position in which said second elastic member makes a driving torque become substantially constant against a weight of said rotatable member.
