Abstract
The invention resides in a pre-fabricated OEM replacement vehicle headrest with a built-in active matrix TFT LCD monitor. The data input cable is run through the seat, through a hollow headrest support tube and into the monitor. The headrest device eliminates the need to modify the original equipment headrests to accommodate the monitor and thereby reduce its safety capabilities.
