An apparatus for concealing a display of the flat panel type, and for
supporting and extending the display to a viewing position. The apparatus
includes a display cover that operates between a concealed position and a
revealed position, and a display support that operates between a
retracted position and an extended position. There is also a display
support interlock that is coupled to disable operation of the display
support when the display cover moves away from the revealed position, and
a display cover interlock that is coupled to disable operation of the
display cover when the display support moves away from the retracted
position. A controller with a wireless remote is coupled to the
components of the apparatus to enable remote operation thereof. A housing
with decorative frame surrounds the flat panel display and presents a
display opening. The display cover may be a fabric sheet that is furled
from a motor driven roller within the display opening. A robotic arm may
serve as the display support, which tilts, swivels, and rotates the flat
panel display to an optimum viewing position.
