Abstract

A portable computer having independently mounted screen sections, whereby the screen sections may be used to provide a larger overall screen, to provide screens mirroring each other for presentation and display, for use by different users, and the like. The screen sections are foldable and collapsible in to the main housing of the portable computer for storage and transport.

Claims

1. A portable computer comprising:

a primary frame configured to operatively support a display screen formed of at least two independently pivotal display screens rotatably coupled to the primary frame by a connecting mount, each of said display screens configured to rotate in at least two planes, each plane being perpendicular to the other;

the said display screen being capable of removal from said primary frame connecting hinges allowing pivotal movement of file display screen from a first position parallel to the plane of the primary frame, to a second position perpendicular to said primary frame and to a third position intermediate the first position and the second position.

2. In a portable notebook or portable computer having a main frame and a display-screen, the improvement comprising:

said display-screen being operatively connected to a portion of said main frame;

said display-screen further having two independently pivotal display screens rotatably coupled to said main frame via a pivot-mount;

said pivot-mount mounting each of said display screens for rotation in at least one plane, and providing at least 180 degrees of movement to said display-screen;

said pivot mount allowing said movement in order to position said display-screen to a first position parallel to a plane of the maim frame and to a second position perpendicular to a plane of the main frame;

said display screen further being capable of being mechanically disengaged from said main frame while maintaining the operative connection thereto.

3. In a portable notebook or portable computer having a main frame and display-screen means;

said display-screen means further comprising at least two independently pivotal display screens each of said display screens and rotatably coupled to said main frame via a pivot-mount and being removable from said main frame;

said pivot-mount mounting one of said display screens for rotation in at least two planes, said at least two planes being perpendicular to each other;

said pivot-mount comprising a mounting arm having a first end connected to a portion of said main frame, a second end connected to a portion of said display-screen, a first pivot mount at said first end for pivotally mounting said display-screen to said main frame for movement in one said plane, and a second pivot mount at said second end for pivotally mounting said displays-screen for movement in both said planes;

said second pivot mount allowing rotation of said display-screen in the other of said planes so that said display screen may assume one of a portrait orientation and landscape orientation.

4. The portable notebook or portable computer according to claim 3, wherein one of said planes is vertical plane.

5. The portable notebook or portable computer according to claim 4, wherein said at least two planes are vertical planes.
