Definitions

• This invention is related to the field of technics that is concerned with devices, which optical work is modified by changing the optical properties of the device medium or of the configuration for controlling the intensity, color, phase, polarisation or direction of the light, and it is classified according to the international patent classification (IPC) as G02 F.
• IPC international patent classification
• the display/screen is reduced to the size of the device hardware part that processes the informations, it results in such a small display/screen where only the basic informations being visually recognisable to the user can be presented. Due to that problem it comes to the paradox, that the volume hardware part of the portable electronic device can process a great amount of informations, but the problem of presenting these informations on the display/screen arises. If to that small hardware part of the portable electronic device a big display/screen is added, in order to present all the processed informations, then a big portable electronic device is obtained, and if the display/screen is reduced to the size of the hardware part of the portable electronic device, then the user has a difficulty with the visual size of the presented informations.
• the width to the height ratio makes 4:3.
• This ratio also determines the size of the display of the portable electronic device if someone wants to use the present standard web site on the Internet without any special alterations of the pictures. But this ratio determines that, in case when someone wants to present a visually recognisable picture in that ratio, the display becomes much bigger than the hardware part of the device itself, and again the above described problem and disproportion arises. 3. STATE OF THE ART
• the primary goal of the invention is to present visually the electronic signals, informations, pictures or data that are produced, processed, transferred or received by the portable electronic device on two or more displays/screens that can be folded or unfolded, where the entire width of all individulal displays/screens is related to the entire width of all individual displays/screens by the ratio 4:3 of the entire picture.
• the secondary goal of the invention is to enable by means of such foldable and unfoldable display/screen the production of portable electronic devices - mobile telephones, small PC computers, WEB PDA devices, ordinary PDA devices and alike, which will have for the user an optimal and acceptable relation between the size of the device hardware part that produces, processes, transfers or receivs the electronic signals, informations, data or pictures and the size of the display/screen that presents these informations.
• the further goal of the invention is to enable to the portable (mobile) telephones the visual presentation of the standard Internet web sight on two or more displays/screens, which can be folded and unfolded, at the width to height ratio 4:3 of the entire picture.
• the total active width of all individual displays/screens is related to the total active height of all individual displays/screens, regardless to the number of displays/screens and regardless to the horizontal or vertical folding axis, by the ratio 4:3, where the unfolded displays/screens together present the electronic signals, informations, data or pictures that are produced, processed, transferred or received in the portable electronic device in the width to height ratio 4:3 of the entire picture, where the electronic signals, informations, pictures or data that are produced, processed, transferred or received in the portable electronic device are divided by the hardware and/or software into as many individual parts of the whole as many there are displays/screens, where each of these individual parts of the whole of the electronic signals, informations, pictures or data is presented separately on one of the displays/screens, where the work of the individual displays/screens is controlled by the today already standardly known and accessible hardware and software, where such divided parts of the electronic signals, informations, pictures or data on all displays/screens make together an integrated presentation of the electronic signals, informations, pictures or data, where the folded displays/screens can be unfolde
• the size and number of displays/screens that can be folded and unfolded according to this invention is not limited by anything but only by the technological realisation possibilities and by the needs of the user.
• the already existing or some future new developed hardware or software can be used.
• Figure 1 is the front view of the display/screen, where all essential parts of the invention are presented - in Detail X two displays/screens that can be folded and unfolded, with the view of the active part of the display/screen, the protection cover of the display/screen and with the connecting cable are presented. On both displays/screens a part of the divided geometrical shape of a circle is presented. In detail Y the standard display/screen of width a to height b ratio 4:3 is presented, and also the geometrical shape of the circle is presented.
• Figure 2 is the side view of the display/screen, where the essential parts of the invention - two displays /screens that can be folded and unfolded, the protection cover of the display/screen, the connecting cable and the portable electronic device - are presented.
• Figure 3 is the perspective presentation, where the essentail parts of the invention are presented — the folded dispalys/screens, where one of them makes with the portable electronic device one complex whole.
• Figure 4. is the perspective view, where the essentail parts of the invention are presented - the view of the portable electronic device, where one display/screen is set at an angle of 90° with respect to the other display/screen.
• Figure 5 is the perspective view, where the essentail parts of the invention are presented - the view of the portable electronic device, where one display/screen is set at an angle of 180° with respect to the other display/screen.
• Figure 6 is the presentation of the front view and the perspective view of three various invention realisations, where the essentail parts of the invention are presented - the view of the portable electronic device with several displays/screens that can be folded or unfolded along the vertical or horizontal axis, where one of the displays/screens makes together with the portable electronic device one complex whole.
• Figure 7 is the front view presentation and the perspective view of three various invention realisations, where the essential parts of the invention are presented - the view of the portable electronic device with several displays/screens that can be folded or unfolded along the vertical or horizontal axis, or along both vertical and horizontal axis, where none of the dispalys/screens is connected with the portable electronic device in one complex whole, but at least one display/screen is connected to the portable electronic device by means of the cable or in some other way. 6.
• FIG. 2 the side view of FOLDABLE DISPLAY/SCREEN FOR PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES is presented, where it is visible that display/screen N is connected with the portable electronic device in one whole, and the other details correspond to the presentation and explanation according to Fig. 1 in the upper fragment.
• the shematic appearance of portable electronic device U with display/screen M folded on display/screen N is presented in the perspective, and in such a way the portable eletronic device and the displays/screens make together one whole and a compact portable electronic device.
• the schematic appearance of portable electronic device U and display/screen M, which in this case is lifted at an angle of 90° with respect to display/screen N is presented in the perspective.
• the total active width of all individual displays/screens is related to the total active height of all indivisual displays/screens by the ratio 4:3 regardless to the number of displays/screens and regardless to the number of horizontal and vertical folding axes.
• the division of the electronic signals, informations, pictures or data into several individual displays/screens is controlled by the today already standardly known and used hardware and software with the possibilitiy of applying in the future a newly developed hardware or software, where such divided parts of electronic signals, informations, pictures and data are presented on several displays/screens, but watched together on several displays/screens they make an integral presentation of the electronic signals, informations, pictures or data, as it is presented by the example of the schematic shape of circle S.
• the invention enables by means the portable electronic device the presentation of the electronic signals, informations, pictures or data on a much greater dimension of the display/screen than the dimension of the portable electronic device itself.
• the portable electronic device by folding the display/screen the required small total dimensions of the portable electronic device and the display/screen as a whole are obtained. That elliminates the present disproportion between the lesser size of the present and future portable electronic devices and their possibility of presenting the electronic signals, informations, pictures and data on an adequate display/screen.
