Abstract

The invention relates to a viewing screen unit (2) with a viewing screen housing (6) supported swivelably around a swivel axis (4). The viewing screen housing (6) has the shape of a circular cylinder segment, where the viewing screen plane essentially coincides with the intersecting plane (10) of the circular cylinder segment and the pivot axis (4) coincides with the cylinder axis. In a preferred embodiment, the viewing screen housing (6) is fastened swivelably onto a receiving housing (8) containing at least part of the components. The receiving housing (8) is provided with a concave recess (19) turned toward the viewing screen housing (6), which recess fits closely against the curved rear wall of the viewing screen housing. The supporting of the swivelable viewing screen housing is preferably done by supporting means which act on either the inside of the end faces or on the curved back side of the viewing screen housing (6).
