1. A supporting device for carrying a display, comprising:
an upright column substantially extending along a gravity direction and including an opening;
a protruding neck arranged on the upright column and partially extending outward from the opening along a first axis that is not parallel to the gravity direction;
a spindle rod unit having a main spindle rod fixed on the protruding neck along a second axis that is substantially perpendicular to the gravity direction;
a carrying board unit being pivoted on the main spindle rod, being used for carrying the display and having an upper half area and a lower half area relative to the gravity direction and the second axis; and
an elastic element set including:
a first elastic element with one end arranged on the protruding neck and the other end arranged on one of the upper half area and the lower half area, and constantly providing a first elastic force, wherein the first elastic force tends to make the carrying board unit pivot in a direction of rotation with the second axis as an axis, wherein the first elastic element has a compression spring and a cone column, and the cone column has a tip and a flat end opposite to the tip, wherein the tip abuts the lower half area, and the flat end is for the compression spring to abut,
wherein the upper half area is located above the main spindle rod, and the lower half area is located below the main spindle rod, wherein when an external force is applied, the carrying board unit is able to rotate between a first position and a second position relative to the protruding neck with the second axis as the axis to adjust an inclination angle of the display, and wherein when the external force is removed, the carrying board unit stops at an arbitrary position between the first position and the second position.
