Abstract
A portable video display system (PVDS) provides convenience of presenting video data to users in a variety of situations, such as while the users may be traveling. A PVDS can store video data through removable and/or installed memory, including a disc, and present the video through a video display, providing an autonomous video storage and display system that is portable such that users may experience video presentations conveniently under many circumstances. Common applications include use while a user is traveling, commuting, on vacation, and present in other places and situations where portable entertainment is desired. A PVDS may be used with headphones to increase privacy and minimize disturbance to others nearby while PVDS is in use. A PVDS may also have the ability to present other media data such as image data and/or audio data.
