Abstract
Described is a stowable display apparatus () suitable for stowing a display, such as an in-flight entertainment monitor, in a storage module () located above a spreader or a seat bottom of a passenger seat (). The stowable display apparatus can include an arm () pivotally coupled to a mounting plate () at a pivot point () that is located above the spreader or seat bottom and proximate the forward end of the seat (), thus enabling a display bracket of the arm to pivot upwards and out of an armrest assembly before rotating into a deployed position. The display arm () can provide an easy, safe, and low-cost mechanism for stowing and deploying a display. The thin profile of the display arm allows a storage module () two inches wide or less to stow both a display and a table surface, each independently deployable and stowable irrespective of the other's position.
