Display Form Factor Devices and Methods Thereof
First Claim
1. A display form factor device, comprising:
- a base body having a first orientation and a second orientation, the base body further having a top portion and a lower portion;
a screen body coupled to the base body at the top portion of the base body;
a hinge movably coupling the screen body to the base body, the hinge configured to allow pivotal movement of the screen body with respect to the base body along the first orientation;
a pivot member movably coupled to the lower portion of the base body, the pivot member configured to allow pivotal movement of the base body along the second orientation; and
a display screen supported by the screen body, the screen body being configured to assume at least one of a plurality of positions with respect to at least one of the base body and the pivot member along at least one of the first orientation and the second orientation, the display screen configured to exhibit indicia having a particular orientation thereon, wherein the indicia having a particular orientation is dependent upon which of the at least one of a plurality of positions with respect to the base body and the pivot member is assumed by the screen body.

Abstract
Disclosed are display form factor devices having a first orientation and a second orientation, such a device including a display screen that is viewable from a plurality of positions. The display screen can be moved with respect to the first orientation and/or the second orientation. The display screen in accordance with a controller is configured to exhibit indicia having a particular orientation thereon, wherein the indicia having a particular orientation is dependent upon which of the at least one of a plurality of positions that is assumed by the screen body. For example, a particular orientation may be a reflective mode or a normal mode. A method of the device includes changing the particular orientation of the indicia based upon the position of the screen body. Sensed ambient conditions can provide input to determine the position of the screen body.
