1. A terminal, comprising;
- a display part comprising;
a backlit display unit;
a diffuse reflecting display unit configured to display a dashboard of information with life data of the terminal that is always visible;
a keyboard part;
a swivel member connecting the display part to the keyboard part to allow the display part of the terminal to swivel about an orthogonal axis of the swivel member when the display part is substantially orthogonal to the keyboard part of the terminal such that in a first position of the display part, the backlit display unit is allowed to face in a direction of the keyboard part of the terminal and in a second position of the display part, the diffuse reflecting display unit is allowed to face in the direction of the keyboard part of the terminal;
a sensor configured to detect a property for activating a display type; and
wherein the terminal is configured to send information to be displayed to the backlit display unit or the diffuse reflecting display unit or both depending on the property detected by the sensor.

Abstract
A mobile computing device is disclosed for displaying backlight and diffuse reflecting information. The mobile computing device is configured to include a processor, a first LCD display unit connected to the processor, and a second diffuse reflecting display unit connected to the processor. The mobile computing device is further provided with a display panel interface, such as a mouse or a gravity detecting device like an accelerometer, configured to detect a property for activating a display type. The processor is configured to send information to be displayed to the first display unit or the second display unit or both depending on the display type property detected.

15. A method, comprising:
-
detecting, with a sensor in a terminal, a property for activating a display type; sending information to be displayed to a backlit display unit of the terminal or a diffuse reflecting display unit of the terminal or both depending on the property detected; wherein the diffuse reflecting display unit is configured to display a dashboard of information with life data of the terminal that is always visible; wherein the terminal comprises; a display part comprising the backlit display unit and the diffuse reflecting display unit; a keyboard part; and a swivel member connecting the display part to the keyboard part to allow the display part of the terminal to swivel about an orthogonal axis of the swivel member when the display part is substantially orthogonal to the keyboard part of the terminal such that in a first position of the display part, the backlit display unit is allowed to face in a direction of the keyboard part of the terminal for use in a first set of operations and in a second position of the display part, the diffuse reflecting display unit is allowed to face in the direction of the keyboard part of the terminal. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. A terminal, comprising;
-
a processor; a display part comprising; a first display unit configured to provide a backlit display connected to the processor; and a second display unit configured to provide a diffuse reflecting display connected to the processor and display a dashboard of information with life data of the terminal that is always visible on account of the diffuse reflecting display holding its data; a display panel interface configured to detect a property for activating a display type; a keyboard part; a swivel member connecting the display part to the keyboard part of the terminal to allow the display part of the terminal to swivel about an orthogonal axis of the swivel member when the display part is substantially orthogonal to the keyboard part of the terminal; wherein the processor is configured to send information to be displayed to the first display unit or the second display unit or both depending on the display type property detected; and wherein the display panel interface is a sensor and the property detected for activating the display type is a property detected by the sensor; wherein the swivel member allows, in a first position of the display part, the first display unit to face in a direction of the keyboard part of the terminal for use in a first set of operations and in a second position of the display part, the second display unit is allowed to face in the direction of the keyboard part of the terminal. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
