Abstract
One aspect of an embodiment of the display support mechanism for rotating a display housing having a flat panel display about a horizontal axis of rotation. The display support mechanism comprises a first member and a second member. The first member is pivotally coupled to a back display panel of the display housing. The second member is pivotally coupled to the back display panel of the display housing. The second member is substantially coplanar to the first member when the display housing is placed in a first position by rotating the display housing about a horizontal axis. When the display housing is placed in a second position, the second member becomes substantially in parallel with the first member.
