Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to the structure of a notebook personal computer (hereinafter referred to as a notebook PC) suitable for use in presentations.

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by prior art and invention]

 In general, a notebook PC has a box-shaped main unit integrally provided with a keyboard for inputting commands and a controller for executing storage, reproduction, and calculation in accordance with input from the keyboard, and the main unit can be opened and closed. It consists of a display unit that is attached and displays information such as characters, charts, etc. according to commands input to the main unit. In this notebook PC, the display unit, which is pivotally attached to the rear end of the main unit, is pivotally opened upward from the near side and opened, and a command is input to the keyboard of the main unit on the front side. Desired information is displayed on the display unit. Such a notebook PC has the advantages of being small and light, so that it can be carried anywhere and does not take up a working space. In recent years, such a notebook PC has been used for planning proposals, product explanations, and the like. It has become widely used for presentations.

However, in such a notebook PC, since the display unit is integrally attached to the main body, when the display unit is opened, the display unit and the keyboard are in the same side, that is, the same side. During the presentation, the presenter must repeat the operation of displaying the information that the viewer wants to see on the display, and then turning the display together with the main unit toward the viewer. In addition, it takes time and effort to perform the presentation efficiently.

In addition, since the screen of the display unit is small, work may be performed in a posture looking into the screen, which causes physical fatigue.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible for a viewer to show information displayed on a display unit without moving the display unit along with the main unit during a presentation, and to reduce physical fatigue. It is to provide a notebook PC.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 A notebook PC according to the present invention that solves the above-described problems has a main body unit integrally provided with a keyboard for inputting commands and a controller for executing storage, reproduction, and computation in accordance with the input of commands from the keyboard. A display unit that displays information according to a command input to the main unit, a display unit that can be detached from the main unit, a unit that makes the display unit detached from the main unit independent, and a wire that connects the main unit and the display unit. Be composed. The means for making the display unit self-supporting may include means for adjusting the degree of inclination of the display unit that has been detached from the main body part and has become free-standing.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a display is shown in which two openable legs 22, 22 attached to the left and right ends of the back surface 21 of the display unit 20 are opened and removed from the main body 10. It is a notebook PC that can stand alone. In the illustrated embodiment, the legs 22 are closed, and a document or the like can be sandwiched between the legs 22 and the back surface 21 of the display unit 20.

The illustrated notebook PC includes a keyboard 11 for inputting a command, and a main unit including a controller (not shown) for executing storage, reproduction, and calculation in accordance with the input of the command from the keyboard 11. 10, a display unit 20 for displaying information in accordance with a command input to the main body unit 10, a display unit 20 detachable from the main body unit 10, and a means for making the display unit 20 detached from the main body unit 10 independent (reference numeral 22, 30) and a wire W connecting the main body 10 and the display unit 20. As shown in FIG. 3, the main unit 10 and the display unit 20 are latched by a known latch mechanism (not shown).

A storage section 23 for storing a wire W for connecting the display section 20 and the main body section 10 is provided below the center of the back surface 21 of the display section 20.

The connection between the display section 20 and the main body section 10 is performed by opening a lid 24 which also serves as a part of the surface of the back surface 21 of the display section 20 (indicated by reference numeral 24 in FIG. Then, one end of the wire W is inserted into a connection port P provided in the storage section 23, and the other end is inserted into a connection port (not shown) of the main body 10.

The means for making the display unit 20 detached from the main body unit 10 stand alone includes two legs 22, 22 provided at the left and right ends of a back surface 21 of the display unit 20, and each leg unit. The leg mounting portion 30 is capable of adjusting a leg opening angle of 22.

As shown in FIG. 2, the leg mounting portion 30 is fixed to two flanges 31, 32 provided at the ends of the rear surface 21 of the display portion 20 and the root of the leg portion 22, and is attached to one of the flanges 31. A cylindrical dial 35 whose surface is exposed from the opening 33 provided.

A cylindrical opening 36 having a bottom is provided in the vicinity of the surface of the dial portion 35 in the diameter direction thereof. A spring 37 is inserted into the opening 36, and the opening 36 is inserted from above. A slidable rod 38 is pushed inside. The elastic force of the spring 37 always acts on the rod 38, and the head of the rod 38 is fitted into the concave portion 34 provided on the inner periphery of the opening 33 of the flange 31 by the elastic force. A groove (not shown) is formed on the surface of the dial portion 35 in a direction along the opening 36 (the direction of the arrow S shown in the drawing). It is fixed at 39.

When the slide portion 39 is slid in the direction of arrow S by pressing the slide portion 39 with a finger, the rod 38 slides in the direction of arrow S against the elastic force of the spring 37, and It comes off from the concave portion 34. When the leg 22 is opened in the direction of the arrow R while the slide portion 39 is pressed by the finger, the dial 35 fixed to the root of the leg 22 also follows the opening of the leg 22. To rotate in the direction of arrow r. When the finger is released from the slide portion 39 when the leg portion 22 reaches the desired leg opening angle, the head of the rod 38 fits into the concave portion 34 on the inner periphery of the opening 33 of the flange 31 by the elastic force of the spring 37. As a result, the display unit 20 shown in FIG. 1 becomes independent with a desired inclination.

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the notebook PC of the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to show desired information to the viewer while inputting a command from the keyboard. In addition, since only the display section can be arranged in a desired direction, there is an effect that physical fatigue can be reduced.
