## Abstract

A display system includes a display panel that displays information and a movement apparatus that moves the display panel. The movement apparatus includes: a slide mechanism configured to move the display panel linearly relative to a base chassis; a right-and-left tilt mechanism configured to change an angle of a display surface of the display panel in a right-and-left direction; an up-and-down tilt mechanism configured to change an angle of the display surface of the display panel in an up-and-down direction; and a rotation mechanism configured to rotate the display panel on a rotation axis orthogonal to the display surface of the display panel.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display system comprising:
a display panel that displays information;
a linearly-moving mechanism configured to move the display panel linearly relative to a support structure of the display system;
a right-and-left changing mechanism configured to change an angle of a display surface of the display panel in a right-and-left direction;
an up-and-down changing mechanism configured to change an angle of the display surface of the display panel in an up-and-down direction that is orthogonal to the right-and-left direction; and
a rotation mechanism configured to rotate the display panel on a rotation axis orthogonal to the display surface of the display panel.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The display system according to claim 1, wherein
the linearly-moving mechanism includes a first slider, the right-and-left changing mechanism includes a second slider, and the up-and-down changing mechanism includes a third slider, each of the first, second and third sliders moves the display panel by moving linearly substantially parallel to a base surface of the support structure.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The display system according to claim 1, wherein
the right-and-left changing mechanism includes:
a rotation member that rotates; and
a base member that defines a fixed direction of a rotation axis of the rotation member, wherein
the up-and-down changing mechanism is provided to a side of the rotation member and the linearly-moving mechanism is provided to a side of the base member.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The display system according to claim 1, wherein
the linearly-moving mechanism includes a first driving source, the right-and-left changing mechanism includes a second driving source, the up-and-down changing mechanism includes a third driving source, and the rotation mechanism includes a fourth driving source, each of the first through fourth driving sources is independent of one another.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The display system according to claim 1, further comprising:
a controller that controls drive of the right-and-left changing mechanism, the up-and-down changing mechanism and the rotation mechanism, wherein
the controller restrains the right-and-left changing mechanism, the up-and-down changing mechanism and the rotation mechanism from moving the display panel in a part of a movable range of the linearly-moving mechanism.

### Claim 6

A movement apparatus that moves a display panel, the movement apparatus comprising:
a linearly-moving mechanism configured to move the display panel linearly relative to a support structure of the movement apparatus;
a right-and-left changing mechanism configured to change an angle of a display surface of the display panel in a right-and-left direction;
an up-and-down changing mechanism configured to change an angle of the display surface of the display panel in an up-and-down direction that is orthogonal to the right-and-left direction; and
a rotation mechanism configured to rotate the display panel on a rotation axis orthogonal to the display surface of the display panel.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The movement apparatus according to claim 6, wherein
the linearly-moving mechanism includes a first slider, the right-and-left changing mechanism includes a second slider, and the up-and-down changing mechanism includes a third slider, each of the first, second and third sliders moves the display panel by moving linearly substantially parallel to a base surface of the support structure.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The movement apparatus according to claim 6, wherein
the right-and-left changing mechanism includes:
a rotation member that rotates; and
a base member that defines a fixed direction of a rotation axis of the rotation member, wherein
the up-and-down changing mechanism is provided to a side of the rotation member and the linearly-moving mechanism is provided to a side of the base member.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

The movement apparatus according to claim 6, wherein
the linearly-moving mechanism includes a first driving source, the right-and-left changing mechanism includes a second driving source, the up-and-down changing mechanism includes a third driving source, and the rotation mechanism includes a fourth driving source, each of the first through fourth driving sources is independent of one another.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

The movement apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising:
a controller that controls drive of the right-and-left changing mechanism, the up-and-down changing mechanism and the rotation mechanism, wherein
the controller restrains the right-and-left changing mechanism, the up-and-down changing mechanism and the rotation mechanism from moving the display panel in a part of a movable range of the linearly-moving mechanism.
