Abstract
An improved seat includes a seat bottom and adjustable seat back. The seat back is movable between an upright position and a reclined position. The improvement in the seat includes an adjustable display screen assembly mounted on a back side of the seat back. The display screen assembly defines on one side thereof a display screen surface for being viewed by a viewer located behind the seat. A pivot bolt is associated with the display screen assembly for allowing pivoting movement of the display screen assembly relative to the seat back. A control cable assembly automatically controls the pivoting movement of the display screen assembly in coordination with the movement of the seat back. The control cable assembly operates to maintain the display screen assembly at a predetermined viewing angle relative to the viewer as the seat back moves between the upright and reclined positions.
