According to one embodiment, a tilt mechanism includes a stand with a bottom which is placed on a mounting surface and designed to pass cables therethrough, and a tilt leg supported by the stand. The tilt leg is rotatable between a first position in which the tilt leg is retracted in the stand, and a second position in which the tilt leg downwardly projects from the bottom of the stand. The tilt leg includes a pair of support portions rotatably supported by the bottom, and a bridge portion bridging the support portions and including an edge. The edge opposes the mounting surface when the tilt leg is in the second position. The edge of the bridge portion defines a single recess, through which the cables are led to an outside of the stand.
