Abstract

A mobile display system includes a first mobile display device and a second mobile display device. The first mobile display device includes a first power storage module, a first screen, and a wireless power transmitter. The first screen is configured to display a first image by using the power stored in the first power storage module. The second mobile display device includes a second power storage module, a second screen, and a wireless power receiver. The second screen is configured to display a second image by using the power stored in the second power storage module. During a period when the first power storage module is charged, the wireless power transmitter provides a first wireless power signal to the wireless power receiver, so as to charge the second power storage module by the first wireless power signal.

Claims

1. A mobile display system comprising:

a first mobile display device comprising;

a first power storage module;

a first screen configured to display a first image by using power stored in the first power storage module; and

a wireless power transmitter; and

a second mobile display device comprising;

a second power storage module;

a second screen configured to display a second image by using the power stored in the second power storage module; and

a wireless power receiver;

wherein in a first charging mode, during a period when the first storage module is charged, the wireless power transmitter provides wireless power signal to the wireless power receiver, so as to char second power storage module by the first wireless power signal;

wherein the second mobile display device further comprises a protective case configured to cover and protect the first mobile display device;

wherein the second screen is disposed on a first side of the protective case, the wireless power receiver is disposed on a second side of the protective case adjacent to the first mobile display device, and the first side and the second side are opposite to each other.

2. The mobile display system as claimed in claim 1, wherein in a second charging mode, the wireless power transmitter provides a second wireless power signal to the wireless power receiver based on the power stored in the first power storage module, so as to charge the second power storage module by the second wireless power signal.

3. The mobile display system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wireless power transmitter and the wireless power receiver are disposed opposing each other, so as to reduce an attenuation of the first wireless power signal.

4. A mobile display system comprising:

a mobile display device comprising;

a housing;

a first screen disposed on the housing;

a first battery disposed in the housing; and

a wireless power transmitter disposed in the housing; and

a protective device comprising;

a protective case configured to cover he housing to protect the mobile display device;

a second screen disposed on a first side of he protective case;

a second battery disposed on the protective case; and

a wireless power receiver disposed on a second side of the protective case, wherein the first side and the second side are opposite to each other;

wherein an interval between the second screen and the mobile display device is greater than an interval between the wireless power receiver and the mobile display device.

5. The mobile display system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the wireless power transmitter and the wireless power receiver are disposed opposing each other, so as to reduce an attenuation between the wireless power transmitter and the wireless power receiver.
