Abstract

The present invention relates to a portable DVD player, in particular to a portable DVD player having an externally-exposed LCD display which is disposed on the top cover. A LCD display 2 is disposed on the outer surface of the top cover 1 of the DVD player, the LCD display 2 is connected with a flexible printed circuit at its one end and the other end of the flexible printed circuit is connected with the control, decoder and signal output circuits within the base 5 respectively. A driver circuit and a time-response control circuit are disposed in the top cover 1, and one end of the driver circuit and the time-response control circuit are connected with the flexible printed circuit and the other end is connected with the LCD display 2. Function control buttons 3 and a pair of speakers 4 are disposed on the outer surface of the base of the two sides of the said top cover 1. The present invention adopts the structure that directly installs the LCD display on the outer side of the top cover which replaces the DVD disk cover in other design, and also saving the space occupied by other DVD players when they are in working, while offering convenience for audiences to watch DVD.
