Abstract
Provided is a hinge device which allows the display device to be watched at an arbitrary angle, thus enabling all the passengers to watch the display at an optimum angle, which helps to achieve an improvement in terms of quality and reliable dropping/opening by causing the dropping/opening movement of the display device due to its own weight to be reliable and gentle in the range from the start to an angle of approximately 30° , and which helps to achieve an improvement in terms of operational feel in the free stop range, thus allowing light operation.
