A display unit has a body including a display screen, and a tilt mechanism including a support mounted on the bottom of the body and composed of two partly cylindrical continuous outer surfaces having spaced center axes of curvature, and a base having a plurality of projections on which the outer surfaces are slidably disposed. When the display unit is tilted to change the angle of the display screen with respect to the vertical direction, any point on the display screen is moved back and forth only for a small distance because the center axes of curvature are moved with turning movement of the outer surfaces.
