A display assembly that includes a flat panel display and a display stand. A hinge that attaches to the housing of the display provides for tilt adjustment. The display stand includes two rails that attach to a base and a sliding frame that is coupled to the hinge. The two rails support the sliding frame such that the sliding frame can move up and down along the two rails. A rotary dampener dampens downward movement of the sliding frame. The display stand also includes a latching mechanism that selectively latches the sliding frame to one of the rails. The latching mechanism includes a handle that can be manually operated so as to selectively engage and disengage the latching mechanism. Movement of the handle of the latching mechanism releases the latching mechanism. The display can then be moved up or down as desired to accommodate the needs of a particular user. Once the display is positioned as desired, the release of the handle operates to engage the latching mechanism. The display assembly of the present invention allows for maximum utility of desk space, has a limited footprint, and is easily adjustable. Also, the flat panel display may be mounted to structures using a mounting plate, and can be mounted to structures such as adjustable arms, walls, etc.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention provides a display assembly that includes a flat panel display that is readily adjusted to accommodate the needs of a user and that is easily attached and detached.
A display assembly is disclosed that includes a flat panel display and a display stand.
The flat panel display includes, as a single integral unit, all of the electronics, controls, and interfaces necessary to the operation of the flat panel display.
The display stand couples to the flat panel display and provides support and adjustment for the flat panel display.
In one embodiment, a hinge is attached to the flat panel display and is attached to a mounting bracket.
The mounting bracket has an opening near one end to allow for attachment by means of a screw.
The flat panel display is easily attached to the display stand by attachment of the mounting bracket to the display stand and is easily detached from the display stand by detaching the mounting bracket from the display stand.
The display stand includes two rails that attach to a base.
The two rails extend vertically from the base.
The base supports the two rails.
The display stand also includes a sliding frame.
The two rails support the sliding frame such that the sliding frame moves up and down along the two rails.
A rotary dampener that is coupled to one of the rails engages the rack.
The rotary dampener dampens downward movement of the sliding flame but also allows free upward movement of the sliding flame.
The display stand also includes a latching mechanism that includes a latch pin and a handle.
The latching mechanism is adapted to selectively latch the sliding frame to one of the rails by engaging one of a plurality of openings disposed in one of the rails.
The latching mechanism includes a handle that may be manually operated so as to selectively engage and disengage the latching mechanism.
In one embodiment, the display is a thin flat panel display that includes electronic circuits and a display screen that are operable to produce images on the display screen
