Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to making a tape recorder with a liquid crystal television set thinner.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, radios, tape recorders, etc. were commercialized as standalone products, but in order to improve their commercial value, many composite products that integrate a radio and a cassette have been commercialized. Furthermore, in recent years, compact liquid crystal televisions have been commercialized as products that are even more suited to the information society than radios. Although there is a desire for an integrated LCD TV and tape recorder product as a compact information mobile device that is expected to have higher utility value than conventional radio tape recorders, it is still not commercialized. has not yet been reached.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In other words, in recent years, emphasis has been placed on the portability of small electronic devices, so it is not possible to simply combine a conventional LCD TV and tape recorder.
Because the size and thickness of the product were large and thick, it was not possible to create a product that satisfactorily met the above-mentioned demands.

An object of the present invention is to provide a tape recorder with a liquid crystal television that combines a liquid crystal television and a tape recorder into a smaller size and is highly portable.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration. That is, by using the opening/closing lid mechanism that constitutes the cassette ejecting section of a conventional portable tape recorder and attaching the liquid crystal display unit of a reflective LCD television, which is one of the thinner LCD televisions, to the opening/closing lid, a thinner It constitutes a tape recorder with an LCD TV.

[Effect]

In other words, the tape recorder with LCD TV in this invention has a structure that combines a conventional portable tape recorder with an LCD TV, so when you want to listen to music, you drive the tape recorder, and when you want to watch TV, you turn on the TV switch. It is possible to realize a compact and thin tape recorder with an LCD TV that is highly portable and allows you to view images reflected in a mirror.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 both show a tape recorder with a liquid crystal television according to the present invention; FIG. 1 is an external perspective view, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a main part of FIG. 1.

As shown in the figure, 1 is a case body, and inside the case body 1, a television circuit unit 2 and a tape recorder drive unit 3 are built. Furthermore, an earphone jack 5 into which a headphone (not shown) or the like is inserted is also provided on the side surface of the case body 1. Further, on one side of the case body 1, there is provided a lid 7 for taking out a liquid crystal display unit and a cassette, which can be opened and closed by a hinge 6. Inside the liquid crystal display unit/cassette take-out opening/closing button 7 is a liquid crystal panel 1 connected to the television circuit unit 2 by a connector 10.
A liquid crystal display unit 11 consisting of a light diffusing plate 1a and a light diffusing plate 11b is incorporated. Further, between the liquid crystal display unit 11 and the case body 1, there is a mirror stand 14, which is attached to the liquid crystal display unit/cassette take-out opening/closing button 7 by a hinge 12 and is composed of a mirror 13 and a plate on which it is placed. It is provided. Further, when loading and unloading the set, the mirror stand 14 can be hooked to a mirror stand stopper 15 provided on the lid 7 for taking out the liquid crystal display unit and cassette.

Furthermore, on the front of the case body 1, there is a tape recorder operation switch 16 for operating the tape recorder drive unit 3, and a liquid crystal display unit 11.
A liquid crystal television operating switch 17 is provided for operating the LCD television.

Next, the operation of the tape recorder with liquid crystal television having the above structure will be explained. First, when you want to use the tape recorder, open the lid 7 for taking out the liquid crystal display unit and cassette, set the cassette tape 9 on the rotating shaft 8 of the tape recorder as shown in Fig. 2, and open the lid 7 for taking out the liquid crystal display and cassette. close. When a headphone (not shown) or the like is inserted into the earphone jack 5 and the tape recorder operation switch is operated, the tape recorder drive unit 3 is activated to play back the cassette tape 9, allowing the user to listen to music through the headphone. Next time when you want to watch TV, first take out the liquid crystal display unit and cassette, open the opening/closing button 7, remove the mirror stand 14 from the mirror stand stopper 15, and set the mirror stand 14 so that it is parallel to one side of the case body 1. When the LCD TV operation switch 17 is operated, an image signal is supplied from the TV circuit unit 2 to the LCD unit 11 via the connector 10, and as shown in FIG. You can use this to reflect the image on the mirror 13 set on the dressing table 14. That is, according to the present invention, the TV circuit unit 2 and the tape recorder drive unit 3 are integrated into the case body 1, and the TV has the thinnest reflective structure among LCD TVs and an opening/closing lid for loading and unloading the cassette. Since they have similar structures, by using them in common, we were able to make them smaller and more convenient to carry.

[Effect of idea]

As is clear from the above explanation, the present invention integrates the television circuit unit and tape recorder drive unit into the case body, and attaches the opening/closing button of the cassette ejecting section to the reflective LCD television, which is the thinnest of all LCD televisions. Since a liquid crystal display unit and a mirror are attached, a compact and highly portable tape recorder with a liquid crystal television can be realized. Furthermore, since the user can enjoy television broadcasting without taking out the cassette after listening to music, the device is particularly portable and easy to use outdoors. In addition, since the mirror can be formed in a size close to the entire surface of the opening/closing lid, it is possible to achieve the largest possible screen within the limitations of the liquid crystal display unit, and there is also a large degree of freedom in the position of the screen.
It has excellent effects that can be applied to a variety of exterior designs.
