Abstract

A display tilting apparatus includes a moving bracket that supports a display, a ratchet mechanism that controls pivoting of the moving bracket to a first direction, an anti-tilting mechanism that inhibits pivoting of the moving bracket to a second direction that is opposite of the first direction, and a fixed bracket that is pivotably connected to the moving bracket via a pivot axis. The anti-tilting mechanism includes a first anti-tilting member, and a second anti-tilting member that is mounted on the fixed bracket. The first anti-tilting member and the second anti-tilting member are mounted so as to make a physical contact to each other.
