Abstract

A screen apparatus for a vehicle is disclosed. The screen apparatus of the present invention includes a screen (5) for displaying an image thereon, a support frame (10), which supports the screen such that the screen is rotatable between an operation position, at which the screen is perpendicular to a ceiling surface of the vehicle, and a storage position, at which the screen is parallel with the ceiling surface of the vehicle, and a vibration absorbing unit (61), which is provided between the support frame and the ceiling surface of the vehicle and has a plurality of elastic wires (67) for absorbing vibrations transmitted to the support frame in multiple directions. Therefore, the present invention can prevent the screen from undesirably moving, thus making it possible for a user to comfortably watch images.
