För vissa ändamål krävs små platta skärmar för att spara utrymme. Platta skärmar används i samband med små elektroniska enheter såsom notebook-datorer, handburna datorer, mobiltelefoner etc.For some purposes, small flat screens are required to save space. Flat screens are used in connection with small electronic devices such as notebooks, handheld computers, mobile phones, etc.

Många tillverkare erbjuder eller kommer snart att erbjuda handburna datorer. Dessa datorer är försedda med platta skärmar med exempelvis en pekskärm med 640x24O upplösning, eller en pekskärm med 480x24O upplösning.Many manufacturers offer or will soon offer handheld computers. These computers are equipped with flat screens with, for example, a touch screen with 640x24O resolution, or a touch screen with 480x24O resolution.

Sådana skärmar eller displayskärmar kan inte vara för begränsade i storlek och upplösning för att vara användbara för deras avsedda ändamål, dvs att presentera allmänna mjukvarutillämpningar såsom ordbehandling, desktop databaser, internettillämpningar publishing, kalkylprogram, etc. Begränsningarna sätts med avseende på synen hos en människa.Such screens or display screens may not be too limited in size and resolution to be useful for their intended purpose, i.e. to present general software applications such as word processing, desktop databases, internet publishing applications, spreadsheets, etc. The limitations are set with respect to a human being.

Ett problem i samband med tidigare datorkonfiguratio- ner är följaktligen att tillgång erfordras till flera typer av datorer, försedda med olika displayer lämpliga för olika sorters tillämpningar. Såsom beskrivits ovan är en väldigt liten platt skärm hos en handburen datainmatningsenhet, en mobiltelefon eller en dator, inte kapabel att samtidigt visa fullskärmsdokument på ett lämpligt och läsbart sätt.A problem in connection with previous computer configurations is consequently that access is required to several types of computers, equipped with different displays suitable for different types of applications. As described above, a very small flat screen of a handheld data entry device, a mobile phone or a computer is not capable of simultaneously displaying full screen documents in a suitable and readable manner.

Detailed Description of the Invention A display unit according to the present invention for use in an electronic unit such as a mobile telephone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a organizer, a computer terminal or a computer for displaying a complete or a specific part of a screen is shown in FIG.

Displayenheten är försedd med kontrollkretsar, ej visade i FIG l. En displayskärm 2 och kontrollknappar 3, sàsom touch-kontrollknappar, är anordnade i displayenheten 1 och anslutna till kontrollkretsarna. För anslutning till en dator eller ett nätverk är anslutningsorganet 4, exempelvis en IR(infraröd)- eller radiosändare/mottagare eller anslut- ningskabel, anordnad vid displayenheten.The display unit is provided with control circuits, not shown in FIG. 1. A display screen 2 and control buttons 3, such as touch control buttons, are arranged in the display unit 1 and connected to the control circuits. For connection to a computer or a network, the connection means 4, for example an IR (infrared) or radio transmitter / receiver or connection cable, are arranged at the display unit.

Rörelseavkännande organ 6 innefattande ett mikrogyro- skop, en trádtöjningsgivare, piezoelektrisk eller kraft- jämviktsaccelerometer etc anordnad i displayenheten 1 och kopplad till kontrollkretsarna, varvid displayenheten svarar på rörelser i rummet för att Visa den fullständiga skärmbilden i olika förstoringar och/eller olika delar av en skärmbild.Motion sensing means 6 comprising a microgyroscope, a wire strain gauge, piezoelectric or force equilibrium accelerometer etc. arranged in the display unit 1 and connected to the control circuits, the display unit responding to movements in the room to display the complete screen in different magnifications and / or different parts of a screenshot.

Effektförsörjning för displayenheten tillhandahålls solkraft, kinetisk energi eller kraftförsörjning fràn en ansluten dator. exempelvis genom lokala batterier, En av kontrollknapparna 3 är en aktiveringskontroll- knapp anordnad att aktivera displayenheten l för att svara pà rörelser. Displayenheten aktiveras sålunda genom att trycka in aktiveringskontrollknappen 3, och genom att sedan förflytta displayenheten huvudsakligen i planet av display- enheten visas olika delar av en skärmbild pà displayskärmen 2.Power supply for the display unit provides solar power, kinetic energy or power supply from a connected computer. for example through local batteries. One of the control buttons 3 is an activation control button arranged to activate the display unit 1 to respond to movements. The display unit is thus activated by pressing the activation control button 3, and by then moving the display unit substantially in the plane of the display unit, various parts of a screen image are displayed on the display screen 2.

Detta illustreras schematiskt i FIG 2, varvid ett urklipp 8, motsvarande den pà displayskärmen 2 i FIG 1 visade bilden, omges av en överlagrad skuggad virtuell displayenhet 9, motsvarande storleken hos displayenheten l.This is schematically illustrated in Fig. 2, wherein a cut-out 8, corresponding to the image shown on the display screen 2 in Fig. 1, is surrounded by a superimposed shaded virtual display unit 9, corresponding to the size of the display unit 1.

Correspondingly, these cutouts 8 are displayed when the actual display unit 1 is moved. moved in the plane of the display unit.

Såsom visas i FIG 3 förflyttar en användare 10 displayenheten upp och ner, illustrerat av en pil ll, och till vänster och höger, för att illustrerat av en pil 12, visa olika delar av skärmbilden 7. I en speciell position i rummet visas urklippet 8 av skärmbilden 7 på displayskärmen 2. Det är följaktligen möjligt för användaren av display- enheten l att läsa text, som inte fullständigt får plats på den lilla displayskärmen 2, genom att flytta displayenheten ett kort avstånd i rummet i planet hos displayenheten.As shown in Fig. 3, a user 10 moves the display unit up and down, illustrated by an arrow 11, and to the left and right, to be illustrated by an arrow 12, to show different parts of the screen 7. In a special position in the room, the clipboard 8 is shown of the screen 7 on the display screen 2. Accordingly, it is possible for the user of the display unit 1 to read text which does not completely fit on the small display screen 2, by moving the display unit a short distance in the space in the plane of the display unit.

Genom att aktivera displayenheten l genom att trycka_ in aktiveringskontrollknappen 3 och sedan förflytta displayenheten fram och tillbaka, i en riktning huvudsak- ligen vinkelrät mot planet hos displayenheten, illustrerat genom en pil 14, ändras förstoringen av skärmbilden 7 eller zoomas bilden. Enligt vad som visas i FIG 3 och mera i detalj i FIG 4 är det möjligt att zooma ut så mycket att en översikt av den fullständiga skärmbilden 7 visas på displayenheten 1.By activating the display unit 1 by pressing the activation control button 3 and then moving the display unit back and forth, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the display unit, illustrated by an arrow 14, the magnification of the screen 7 changes or the image is zoomed. As shown in FIG. 3 and in more detail in FIG. 4, it is possible to zoom out so much that an overview of the complete screen 7 is shown on the display unit 1.

Det är uppenbart att föreliggande uppfinningen till- handahåller en förbättrad displayenhet och en metod för användning med en elektronisk apparat, såsom en dator 13, för att visa en fullständig eller en bestämd del av en skärmbild 7, varvid olika delar av skärmbilden 7 visas i olika för- genom att flytta displayeenheten l i rummet, storingar på displayskärmen 2.
