Abstract
Abstract An electronic information equipment is constructed to accommodate a keyboard (4) sandwiched between a main body (1) and a display (2). The keyboard (4) is provided separably from the main body (1). The display (2) is attached to the main body (1) by a supporting device (3) at a position where the display face (2a) is movable to a predetermined position. The supporting device (3) comprises rotating device portions (9, 10) and tilting device portions (15, 16, 17). The rotating device portions (9, 10) rotate the display (2) in the horizontal direction (H) about an axis intersecting the installation plane. The tilting device portions (15, 16, 17) rotate the display (2) at a vertical direction (V) with respect to the main body (1) for supporting the display face (2a) at a position intersecting the installation face at an arbitrary angle. The necessity to place the main body (1) in front of the operator is eliminated resulting in a wide and effective usage of the desk employed as an installation plane.
