Abstract

Dual display screens are oriented back-to-back such that one display screen is visible from a first direction and one display screen is visible from a direction opposite the first direction.

Claims

1. An electronic image display system, relating to operable display of at least one electronic image, derived from at least one electronic image signal, comprising:

a) at least one first electronic image displayer structured and arranged to permit at least one first at least one electronic image display of the at least one electronic image signal;

b) at least one second electronic image displayer structured and arranged to permit at least one second at least one electronic image display of the at least one electronic image signal;

c) at least one electronic image display controller structured and arranged to control the at least one electronic image signal onto at least one of said at least one first electronic image displayer and said second electronic image displayer;

d) a unitary housing having a top portion, side portions, and a bottom portion, adapted to house at least said at least one first electronic image displayer, said at least one second electronic image displayer and said at least one image display controller;

e) wherein said at least one first electronic image displayer and said at least one second electronic image displayer are situate facing in substantially opposed directions within said unitary housing; and

f) wherein such at least one first at least one electronic image display and such at least one second at least one electronic image display are geometrically oriented in substantially opposite directions.

2. The electronic image display system, according to claim 1, wherein said at least one image display controller further comprises at least one parent controller adapted to assist at least one parent control of such operable display of at least one electronic image derived from the at least one electronic image signal.

3. The electronic image display system, according to claim 2, wherein said at least one image display controller further comprises:

a) at least one child controller structured and arranged to restrict access of at least one portion of the at least one electronic image signal;

b) wherein such child control is restricted by said at least one parent controller.

4. The electronic image display system, according to claim 2, wherein said at least one parent controller further comprises at least one image display selector structured and arranged to select the at least one electronic image signal to be displayed on at least one of said at least one first electronic image displayer and said at least one second electronic image displayer.

5. The electronic image display system, according to claim 4, wherein said at least one image display selector further comprises at least one selective switch structured and arranged to selectively switch at least one portion of the at least one electronic image from said at least one first electronic image displayer to said at least one second electronic image displayer.

6. The electronic image display system, according to claim 5, wherein said at least one image display selector further comprises at least one second selective switch structured and arranged to selectively switch at least one portion of the at least one electronic image from said at least one second electronic image displayer to said at least one first electronic image displayer.

7. The electronic image display system, according to claim 6, wherein said at least one image display selector further comprises at least one picture-in-picture displayer for at least one picture-in-picture display of the at least one electronic image from either respective of said at least one first electronic image displayer or said at least one second electronic image displayer.

8. A method, relating to displaying at least one electronic image on back-to-back oriented electronic image displayers, comprising the steps of:

a) providing at least two electronic image displayers arranged in a back-to-back orientation so that at least one displayed electronic image may be viewed simultaneously by at least two persons when such at least two persons are situated on opposite sides of at least one of the at least two electronic image displayers;

b) providing at least one electronic image display controller structured and arranged to control the at least one displayed electronic image onto at least one of the at least two electronic image displayers;

c) providing a unitary housing having a top portion, side portions, and a bottom portion, adapted to house the at least two electronic image displayers and the at least one electronic image display controller; and

d) permitting viewing of the at least one displayed electronic image by the at least two persons.

9. The method, according to claim 8, further comprising the steps of permitting controlling, by a first person, such displayed electronic image.

10. An electronic image display system, relating to operable display of at least one electronic image, derived from at least one electronic image signal, comprising:

a) at least one first electronic image displayer structured and arranged to permit at least one first at least one electronic image display of the at least one electronic image signal;

b) at least one second electronic image displayer structured and arranged to permit at least one second at least one electronic image display of the at least one electronic image signal;

c) at least one electronic image display controller structured and arranged to control the at least one electronic image signal onto at least one of said at least one first electronic image displayer and said second electronic image displayer;

d) a unitary housing without rails adapted to house at least said at least one first electronic image displayer, said at least one second electronic image displayer and said at least one image display controller;

e) wherein said at least one first electronic image displayer and said at least one second electronic image displayer are situate facing in substantially opposed directions within said unitary housing; and

f) wherein such at least one first at least one electronic image display and such at least one second at least one electronic image display are geometrically oriented in substantially opposite directions.

11. The electronic image display system, according to claim 10, wherein said at least one image display controller further comprises at least one parent controller adapted to assist at least one parent control of such operable display of at least one electronic image derived from the at least one electronic image signal.

12. The electronic image display system, according to claim 11, wherein said at least one image display controller further comprises:

a) at least one child controller structured and arranged to restrict access of at least one portion of the at least one electronic image signal;

b) wherein such child control is restricted by said at least one parent controller.

13. The electronic image display system, according to claim 11, wherein said at least one parent controller further comprises at least one image display selector structured and arranged to select the at least one electronic image signal to be displayed on at least one of said at least one first electronic image displayer and said at least one second electronic image displayer.

14. The electronic image display system, according to claim 13, wherein said at least one image display selector further comprises at least one selective switch structured and arranged to selectively switch at least one portion of the at least one electronic image from said at least one first electronic image displayer to said at least one second electronic image displayer.

15. The electronic image display system, according to claim 14, wherein said at least one image display selector further comprises at least one second selective switch structured and arranged to selectively switch at least one portion of the at least one electronic image from said at least one second electronic image displayer to said at least one first electronic image displayer.

16. The electronic image display system, according to claim 15, wherein said at least one image display selector further comprises at least one picture-in-picture displayer for at least one picture-in-picture display of the at least one electronic image from either respective of said at least one first electronic image displayer or said at least one second electronic image displayer.
