Abstract
Abstract In a filing system having a storage device (6) for storing image information and a display (11) with a rectangular screen (111) for visually displaying the stored image information, the screen is arranged to be positioned at an upright position or at a lateral position, with a motor (115c). The switch between two positions of the screen is effected upon instruction input from a keyboard, or in accordance with the information representative of the screen position which is stored beforehand in the storage device for each of the image information. The screen is also provided with a tilting mechanism (1314, 1315) which is released while the screen rotates. There is further provided a means (119a, 119b, 120a, 120b) for compensating a positional displacement of a displayed image caused by a difference of earth magnetism between two positions of the screen.
