  • MOVEABLE DISPLAY SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230064265
    Abstract: Implementations relate to a moveable display system. In some implementations, a control unit includes a first support and a second support coupled to the first support. The second support is linearly translatable along a first axis in a first degree of freedom with respect to the first support, and at least a portion of the second support is linearly translatable along a second axis in a second degree of freedom with respect to the first support. The control unit includes a display unit rotatably coupled to the second support. The display unit is rotatable about a third axis in a third degree of freedom with respect to the second support, and the display unit includes a display device.

  • MOVEABLE DISPLAY UNIT ON TRACK
    Publication number: 20220296323
    Abstract: Implementations relate to a moveable display unit on a track. In some implementations, a control unit includes a support linkage including a first support coupled to a second support, a track member coupled to a distal portion of the second support, and a display unit coupled to the track member. The display unit includes a display device. The display unit is linearly translatable in first and second degrees of freedom provided by the support linkage. The display unit is rotatable, with respect to the second support, about a tilt axis in a third degree of freedom defined by the track member.
