Abstract

A self-supporting stand for a thin display device is to be controlled so that the display device faces in a preset screen direction in a one-touch manner. A function of constantly recognizing the screen direction of the display device and detecting its own direction by detecting a resistance value of a resistance volume such as a variable resistor installed in an electric screen direction changing mechanism, and a control unit which reproduces a preset screen direction no matter in which direction the screen faces currently, are combined with each other.
