Abstract
An armrest that has a plurality of telescopic trays that collapse to allow a viewing device to be retracted from a stowing compartment within the armrest. The telescopic trays can then be rolled back while the viewing device is displayed, allowing the passenger to utilize both the monitor and the trays. The viewing device is connected to a slide plate that slides along a track that is mounted within the stowing compartment. The plate and track allow the monitor to be retracted from the compartment. The viewing device is also attached to a pair of joints, such that the device can be rotated about the x, y and z axis, to allow the passenger to display and move the monitor into the most comfortable position.
