Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02098123A2] A portable display monitor (Fig. 4B) having a flat panel display screen (2) and an integral base/cover (7,8) pivotally attached to each other. The base/cover covers and protects the display screen during non-use and especially during transit, and serves as a base for deployment of the flat panel display screen at appropriate viewing angles. In a preferred embodiment, the base/cover rotates around the back of the screen between 180 and 360 degrees (10) from the closed position. The monitor is adapted for use with other devices such as portable computers (13), desktop computers and the like, so that the monitor may serve as a duplicate or auxiliary display viewable from a variety of locations, notably locations other than those which any display normally employed by the devices may be viewed. In other embodiments, the monitor supports other electronic functions such as auxiliary power.
