Abstract
Abstract An adjustable support structure for liquid crystal display, including a base seat, a rotary support and a telescopic retaining rod. One end of the rotary support is pivotally disposed on the base seat, while the other end thereof is disposed with a holding seat in which the display is located. One end of the retaining rod is pivotally disposed on the base seat, while the other end thereof is screwed with an adjustment thread rod. The free end of the thread rod upward extends to abut against and rotatably support the rotary support. By means of changing the screwing length of the thread rod in the retaining rod, different combined lengths of the retaining rod and the thread rod are created to push and support the rotary support by different inclination angles, so that the liquid crystal display held in the holding seat can be securely located and observed at different sight angles.
