Abstract
A rotatable LCD screen device includes a substantially rectangular LCD screen unit which has a length and a width and which includes a front display side and a back side, and an upright support which is connected rotatably to the back side for rotation of the LCD screen unit about a horizontal axis substantially perpendicular to the plane of the front display side so as to place the LCD screen unit in a first position where the length lies horizontally, or a second position where the length extends vertically. A lock mechanism is provided on the back side and the support for locking the LCD screen unit against movement relative to the support when the LCD screen unit is in the first position or the second position. In addition, a limiting mechanism is provided for limiting the angle of rotation of the LCD screen unit relative to the support.
