Information display apparatus
First Claim
1. An information display apparatus comprising:
- a fan face that is openably/closably bent like bellows;
a thin film flat display comprising a full color organic EL display capable of displaying a full color television image, the thin film flat display being one of;
included in at least a part of the fan face; and
joined to a part of the fan face;
a pair of main ribs joined to respective ends of the fan face, the fan face being disposed between the main ribs;
a plurality of intermediate ribs interposed between the main ribs, the fan face being joined to the intermediate ribs; and
a pivot for turnably fixing the main ribs and the intermediate ribs in a root portion,wherein a television receiver circuit is disposed in one of the main ribs and connected to the thin film flat display, andwherein an intermediate rib of the plurality of intermediate ribs comprises a first portion having a first thickness, and a second portion having a second thickness which is less than the first thickness, the second portion being joined to the fan face.
