Abstract

A liquid crystal display device 1 comprising a housing 100 is mounted to a ceiling member of an airplane. An image control unit 110 is fixed to the housing 100, and a liquid crystal display 300 is fixed to a main shaft positioned at a center of rotation C1, so as to be driven to the arrow R1 direction. In a retracting unit, a liquid crystal panel 310 of the liquid crystal display 300 is opposed to the image control unit 110, and stored inside a cover 2,00 surrounding the housing 100. The whole height H1 of the liquid crystal display device 1 may be reduced, so as to secure the overhead clearance of the passengers.
