Abstract
The connecting mechanism of the invention is pivotally mounted between the display device and the computer host. The connecting mechanism has an articulated arm having a first rod and a second rod connected to each other via a hinge. The ends of the first rod are respectively pivotally connected to a sidewall of the computer host and the hinge. The second rod is longer than at least half a width of the display device. A third end of the second rod is pivotally mounted on a sidewall of the display device in an appropriate location, such as a central part of the sidewall. A fourth end of the second rod is pivotally connected to the hinge. The above arrangement allows inclination and horizontal/vertical adjustments of the display device relative to the computer host.
