Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an information processing device, a thin display device of the information processing device, and a dedicated desk. In particular, the information processing device and the thin display of the information processing device can be used widely by reducing the occupied area of the information processing device. The present invention relates to an apparatus and a dedicated desk.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, information processing devices such as personal computers and word processors have a built-in CPU and MPU for performing various data processing, a display device having a display unit such as a cathode ray tube for displaying data processed by the main body, and input data. It is composed of input devices such as a keyboard and a mouse. In addition, a scanner or the like is connected to the main body as an input device for images or the like, and originals, photographs, and the like are input to the main body as image data. Further, as a data output device, a printing device such as an ink jet printer or a laser printer is connected to the main body, and various data are printed on predetermined paper and output.

An information processing apparatus is often used with a main body directly placed on the upper surface of an office desk and a display device placed on the upper surface of the main body. However, when the information processing device is placed on the top of the office desk, the space occupied by the information processing device is quite large.Therefore, a certain amount of free space is required to perform paperwork and other paperwork. That space is almost gone.

Therefore, when the information processing device is used by placing it on a dedicated desk of the information processing device, it is possible to secure a sufficient empty space on the upper surface of the office desk to perform office work.

[0005] The dedicated desk is for placing each device of the information processing apparatus on a top plate and a plurality of shelves supported by screws or the like between columns. When using the special desk, place the display device so that it faces the position of the user sitting in front of the special desk from the chest to the face. In addition, a printing device and a reading device are used on a top plate provided above the position where the display device is installed.

In many cases, a main body of an information processing device and a keyboard, a mouse, and the like, which are input devices, are also put on a shelf of a dedicated desk on which a display device is placed. In that case, there is almost no empty space on the upper surface of the shelf. In addition, when data processing is performed using an information processing device, business processes such as filling out a document while looking at data displayed on a display device are often performed.

[0007]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 As described above, since the upper surface of the shelf board of the dedicated desk is occupied by each device of the information processing apparatus, it is difficult to perform office work while watching the display on the display device on the dedicated desk. In addition, when an input device such as a keyboard is moved, an empty space can be secured, but the keyboard must be placed upright on a side of the display device or the like. Therefore, in order to perform input, the user must clear the document and put the keyboard again, and there is a problem that work cannot be performed efficiently.

In recent years, with the advance of technology, it is possible to use a thin display device using a liquid crystal or the like. When this thin display device is used, the space occupied by the display device placed on the upper surface of the dedicated desk can be reduced.

However, the display device has a structure in which the display device is mounted on a shelf board. For this reason, if the business process is to be performed after the business process using the information processing device, it is often necessary to secure a large space on the shelf. In that case, if the display device is left as it is, it will be an obstacle, so the display device must be moved toward the back of the dedicated desk. Further, when the display device is moved in the rear direction, the display on the display device is difficult to see when the information processing device is used, so the display device must be moved again. As described above, there is a problem that even when a thin display device is used, office work and the like cannot be efficiently performed on a dedicated desk.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide an information processing apparatus capable of securing a large space on a desk so that office work can be performed at a dedicated desk of the information processing apparatus. Another object of the present invention is to provide a display device and a dedicated desk of an information processing device.
