Abstract

The flat display assembly for producing artistic visual effects using a stylus includes a housing. A stand is operationally coupled to the housing. The stand is positionable on a support surface so the housing is retained in an upright position. A processor is coupled to the housing. An electronic memory is coupled to the housing and the processor. A display is coupled to the housing and the processor so the display is accessible to a user. A directional control is coupled to the housing and the processor. The directional control controls a cursor on the display. An actuator is coupled to the housing and the processor. A speaker is coupled to the housing and the processor so the speaker emits an audible sound. A stylus may be gripped by a user.

Claims

1. A flat display assembly for producing artistic visual effects using a stylus, said assembly comprising:

a housing configured to be positioned on a support surface;

a stand operationally coupled to said housing, said stand being positionable on the support surface wherein said housing is retained in an upright position;

a processor coupled to said housing;

an electronic memory coupled to said housing, said electronic memory being operationally coupled to said processor;

a display coupled to said housing wherein said display is accessible to a user, said display being operationally coupled to said processor;

a directional control coupled to said housing, said directional control being operationally coupled to said processor, said directional control controlling a cursor on said display;

an actuator coupled to said housing, said actuator being operationally coupled to said processor;

a speaker coupled to said housing, said speaker being operationally coupled to said processor wherein said speaker emits an audible sound; and

a stylus configured to be gripped by a user wherein the user writes on said display with said stylus wherein the user creates the artistic visual effects;

wherein said housing having a width being greater than a height of said housing wherein said housing has a rectangular shape;

said housing having a stand well extending forwardly into a back side of said housing;

said stand comprising a pair of first longitudinal arms of said stand extending between each of a pair of first lateral arms of said stand wherein said stand has a rectangular shape;

a top one of said pair of first longitudinal arms of said stand being movably coupled to said housing wherein said stand is positioned within said stand well;

a pair of second longitudinal arms of said stand extending between each of a pair of first lateral arms of said stand wherein said pair of second longitudinal arms of said stand are spaced inwardly from an associated one of a pair of first longitudinal arms of said stand;

a pair of second lateral arms of said stand extending between each of said pair of first longitudinal arms of said stand wherein said pair of second lateral arms of said stand are spaced inwardly from an associated one of said pair of first lateral arms of said stand;

wherein said electronic memory being electrically coupled to said processor;

said display being coupled to a front side of said housing;

said display being electrically coupled to said housing;

said directional control being coupled to said front side of said housing proximate an intersection of a top side and a first lateral side of said housing;

said directional control being electrically coupled to said processor;

wherein a camera coupled to a front side of said housing wherein said camera is positioned between each of a pair of said speakers;

said camera being electrically coupled to said processor;

a power supply coupled to said housing;

said power supply being electrically coupled to said processor;

said power supply comprising at least one battery.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 wherein said actuator being coupled to a front side of said housing proximate a first lateral side of said housing;

said actuator being electrically coupled to said processor;

said actuator being one of a plurality of said actuators;

said speaker being coupled to said front side of said housing proximate a top side of said housing;

said speaker being electrically coupled to said processor;

said speaker being one of a pair of said speakers each positioned proximate an associated one of a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge of said display.
