Abstract

PURPOSE:To always and automatically maintain an optimum display screen state without requiring for a user's intervention by providing a means for recognizing a position or a distance in front of a display screen and a means rotating the display screen vertically and horizontally. CONSTITUTION:In the control of a display device part 3, the power source of a mainbody part 1 is applied, and the display screen part 4 is set in the waiting state for positioning in a front center. When a sensor recognized by a sensor 6 among user position recognition sensors 5-8, exists, the part 3 is rotated upward by a unit angle, and it is repeated until there is nothing to be recognized or the part 3 reaches an upper movable limit position. When there is nothing to be recognized by the sensors 5, 7 and 8, the part 3 is rotated downward, right or left by the unit angle, and repeated until the part 3 reaches respective movable limit positions. When there is the user, the optimum position of the display screen is automatically maintained. When the user leaves his seat on the way of use, the power source of the display screen part 4 is disconnected, and the power source is supplied when he returns to his seat. Thus, the system can always and automatically be set in the display screen state without requiring the user's intervention.
