Abstract

See full text

A video telephone device has a video display unit tiltably mounted on a base and a video camera unit supported in the video display unit on one side of a video display panel of the video display unit. The video display unit includes an outer housing and a video display panel disposed in the outer housing and angularly movably supported on the base. The video camera unit is disposed in the outer housing and includes a camera mount and a video camera supported on the camera mount, the camera mount being angularly movably supported on the video display panel. A link is angularly movably coupled to the camera mount and the base. The base, the video display panel, the camera mount, and the link jointly serve as a parallel link mechanism for keeping the video camera unit in a substantially constant angular position with respect to the base regardless of angular movement of the video display unit with respect to the base.
