Abstract

PURPOSE: To improve portability by integrating the magnifying lens magnifying the very small screen of the monitor of a small-sized display device into the display device. CONSTITUTION: A light shielding hood 5 intercepting the incident of the external light to a monitor part 3 is freely rotatably pivoted to the main body cabinet having a monitor part 3 on which video is projected. A magnifying lens 9 is freely rotatably pivoted to this light shielding hood 5. At the time of using the magnifying lens 9, the magnifying lens 9 is rotated till it is opposed to the monitor part 3.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a small portable display device such as a liquid crystal monitor to which a light shielding hood for preventing the entry of ambient light can be attached.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the screen displayed on the monitor section of a small portable display device such as a liquid crystal monitor, there is a problem that the screen is unsightly due to the small monitor section. Has separately prepared a unit equipped with a magnifying lens that can magnify the screen, and it is a prized method to attach it to the front of the monitor as necessary.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned prior art, since the magnifying lens is a separate component from the display device, portability is extremely poor.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided a monitor section on which an image is displayed, a shading hood which is rotatably attached to a main body cabinet and which shields ambient light from entering the monitor section, and a hood. It is characterized in that it is movably attached and has a magnifying lens which can face the monitor part, and the magnifying lens is housed between the monitor part and the light-shielding hood when housed.

[0005]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the magnifying lens is integrated with the light-shielding hood that blocks the reflection of light to the monitor portion, and is housed between the light-shielding hood and the monitor portion even when it is stored.

[0006]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the entire display device 1. The display device 1 is composed of a lower operation unit 2 and an upper monitor unit 3 formed with a step between the operation unit 2 and the lower operation unit 2.

Various operation buttons (not shown) including a power switch are arranged in the operation section 2, and a liquid crystal monitor-4 is arranged in the center of the monitor section 3.

Further, on both side surfaces 3a of the monitor portion 3, a light-shielding hood 5 having a U-shaped cross section is rotatably supported around a support shaft 6 near its end portion.
The lens portion 8 is rotatably supported by the support shaft 7 near the other end of the light shielding hood 5. The lens portion 8 is composed of a rectangular magnifying lens 9 and a frame portion 10 surrounding the lens 9.

Here, the diameters of the support shaft 6 and the through holes 5a of the light-shielding hood 5 fitted to these support shafts 6 are set to be extremely equal, and similarly, the support shaft 7 and the light-shielding fitting to these support shafts 7 are shielded. Since the diameters of the through holes 5b of the hood 5 are also set to be extremely equal to each other, when the light-shielding hood 5 is manually rotated or the lens portion 8 is manually rotated, the light-shielding hood 5 is rotated by the frictional force of both. Will stop at the position where you stopped.

The operation of each unit when viewing the monitor screen of the display device 1 having such a configuration will be described. FIG. 3 shows a housed state in which the lens unit 8 is housed between the light shielding hood 5 and the monitor unit 3. In this state, the light shielding hood 5 is
And the front surface of the operation unit 2 are flush with each other.

From this storage state, the light shielding hood 5 is rotated together with the lens portion 8 in the direction of arrow A to reach the light shielding position and the state shown in FIG. 2 is obtained. From this state, only the lens portion 8 is rotated in the direction of arrow B. Then, the position shown in FIG. 1 is obtained when the position facing the liquid crystal monitor 4 is reached. When the operation button of the operation unit 2 is operated in the state of FIG. 1 to display an image on the screen of the liquid crystal monitor 4, the viewer will see this screen through the magnifying lens 9, and see the magnified screen. You can This time,
The light-shielding hood 5 stands upright on the upper side of the monitor unit 3 and blocks irradiation of external light such as sunlight or illumination light on the liquid crystal monitor 4 from the direction of the arrow C, and these lights are emitted from the liquid crystal monitor 4.
It is prevented that the light is reflected by and reaches the eyes of the viewer through the magnifying lens 9 to make it hard to see.

When returning from the state shown in FIG. 1 to the original storage state, the work reverse to the above, that is, the lens portion 8 is rotated in the direction opposite to the B direction, and the light shielding hood 5 is further attached to the lens portion 8. The storage state is obtained by integrally rotating with and in the direction opposite to the A direction.

Whether or not the magnifying lens 9 is used can be arbitrarily selected by the viewer, and when it is not desired to use the magnifying lens 9, FIG.
This can be dealt with by not rotating the lens unit 8 from the state.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the magnifying lens is integrated with the light-shielding hood, and is housed between the light-shielding hood and the monitor portion when housed, and the magnifying lens is rotated to a position facing the monitor portion when necessary. It is possible to improve portability.
