20120002361PIVOTING DISPLAY DEVICE - An object of the present invention is to make available a pivoting display device which enables a display unit to be assuredly stowed even by using a relatively small elastic component, and which has enhanced reliability and is space-saving. When a power switch becomes off, a monitor which can be stowed is swung by urging force from a coil spring. In an initial stage in which counter-electromotive force Vm induced by a motor is greater than on-voltage of a FET, the counter-electromotive force Vm acts as rotation resistance for the motor. When the monitor approaches a stowage position, the rotating speed of the motor is reduced. Therefore, bias voltage of the FET is reduced due to reduction of the counter-electromotive force Vm, and the braking force imposed on the motor by the counter-electromotive force Vm is gradually reduced, thereby increasing pivoting speed.01-05-2012
