Abstract
A Video Display Unit ('VDU') workstation is matched to the specific safety requirements in a motor vehicle. In its working position, the configuration of the VDU workstation is adapted to be changed, in the event of an accident, by repositioning individual components in response to an impact-specific force in such a way that, inter alia, its extension in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is reduced. When not in use, the VDU workstation can be lowered in a stowage recess of a supporting part mounted, for example in the back rest of a vehicle seat.
