Abstract
A movable structure for a display includes: a display device placed in a substantially vertical state in a front opening of a chassis; a sliding member disposed on the chassis and supporting a lower fulcrum of a lower end portion of the display device so as to be movable in back and forth directions; and a guide groove disposed on the chassis and supporting an upper fulcrum of an upper end portion of the display device so as to be movable in vertical directions, so that the upper end portion of the display device downward moves while the lower end portion forward moves, thereby opening the front opening of the chassis, wherein the sliding member includes a first sliding member supported with the chassis so as to be slidable in the back and forth directions by a first sliding stroke, and a second sliding member supported on the first sliding member so as to be slidable in the back and forth directions by a second sliding stroke and supporting the lower fulcrum of the lower end portion of the display device, whereby the lower fulcrum of the lower end portion of the display device is movable in the back and forth directions by a sum of the first sliding stroke and the second sliding stroke.
