Description

Selectable viewing angle display

The present invention relates to a display, and more particularly to a display having a selectable viewing angle.

Although the previous generation of monitors can adjust the viewing angle, they can only adjust the tilt angle by tilting and tilting. Not only does the angle of view change little, but it can only be fixed in a single direction, but it cannot meet the needs of users seeking new changes. .

Referring to Fig. 1, in order to improve the aforementioned deficiency, a new generation of display 1 is, for example, a case of the Republic of China Patent No. 96118750 and No. 93134850, and mainly includes a panel 11 for displaying an image, and a housing 12 on which the panel 11 is placed. The panel 11 is not only freely rotatable to adjust the tilt angle, but also allows the image to be displayed longitudinally at a 90 degree angle with respect to a horizontal plane, or horizontally at a 180 degree angle.

However, since the image has only two display angles of 90 degrees and 180 degrees (0 degrees), referring to FIG. 2, when the rotation angle of the panel 11 is between 90 degrees and 180 degrees (0 degrees to 180 degrees), or When the angle of view of the human eye is not in front of the panel 11, the image does not rotate correspondingly, that is, the image may be tilted with the panel 11, or the oblique image may be seen by the human eye, which is not convenient for viewing the image, and Will affect the comfort of reading.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a display having a selectable viewing angle that enhances visual convenience and comfort during viewing.

Thus, the display of the selectable viewing angle of the present invention comprises a screen, a touch module, and a control unit. The screen has a panel for displaying images and a housing for mounting the panel. The touch module has a number of touch keys disposed on the housing and outputting an electrical control signal. The control unit is electrically connected to the touch button, and controls the image to rotate relative to a horizontal plane according to a display angle according to an electronic control signal of any touch button.

The utility model has the advantages that the user can select the display angle of the image according to the use requirement, thereby improving the visual convenience and comfort during reading.

The above and other technical features, features, and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 3, a first preferred embodiment of the display with selectable viewing angle includes a screen 2, a touch module 3, a horizontal sensing component 4, and a control unit 5.

The screen 2 has a panel 21 for displaying an image, and a housing 22 on which the panel 21 is placed.

The touch module 3 has a plurality of touch keys 31 disposed on the housing 22 and an inductive component 32 mounted in the housing 22 and electrically connected to the touch keys 31. The touch keys 31 are arranged on the circumferential side of the panel 21. The sensing component 32 can be an electrostatic, thin film resistor, or capacitive sensing component for sensing the potential difference of the touch keys 31 and outputting the electronic control signal. It is worth mentioning that the touch module 3 is used for manually selecting a viewing angle.

The horizontal sensing component 4 is mounted in the housing 22 for sensing an angle θ of the panel 21 with respect to a horizontal plane ( FIG. 8 ) and outputting an electrical control signal. It is worth mentioning that the horizontal sensing element 4 is used to automatically select the viewing angle.

The control unit 5 is electrically connected to the sensing element 32, the horizontal sensing component 4 and the panel 21, and controls the image to rotate relative to a horizontal plane according to the electronic control signal.

In the state in which the panel 21 is not rotated, the image displayed by the panel 21 can maintain the normal display angle (for example, 0 degree), and the user can manually touch the image according to the required viewing angle. The touch key 31 of the viewing angle, at this time, the sensing element 32 generates a potential difference due to the touch key 31 being touched, and outputs an electronic control signal to the control unit 5, so that the control unit 5 controls the image to correspond to the A display angle of the touch key 31 is rotated relative to a horizontal plane, whereby the image of the panel 21 can be displayed in a horizontal direction as shown in FIG. 4, or rotated as shown in FIG. The degree is reversed in the direction of the straight book, or as shown in FIG. 6, rotated by 270 degrees and displayed in another horizontal book direction, or as shown in FIG. 7, any angle of rotation, and displayed in an oblique direction.

Or as shown in FIG. 8, when the panel 21 is rotated, the horizontal sensing component 4 senses the standing angle θ of the panel 21, and outputs an electrical control signal to the control unit 5, so that the control unit 5 controls The image is rotated at a display angle corresponding to the standing angle θ. Therefore, without being limited to the rotation angle of the panel 21, the image can be automatically maintained at a normal viewing angle such as 0 degrees (or 180 degrees) with respect to the horizontal plane. Of course, the touch key 31 can also be used to make the image. In the case where the panel 21 is tilted, the angle of rotation is arbitrarily adjusted to meet the needs of actual use.

Referring to FIG. 9, a second preferred embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the first preferred embodiment, except that the touch keys 31 are disposed around the panel 21 in the housing 22. Therefore, the touch key 31 corresponding to the viewing angle can be touched manually in a manual manner according to the required viewing angle, so that the image is rotated at a display angle corresponding to the configuration angle of the touch key 31.

Referring to FIG. 10, a third preferred embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the second preferred embodiment. The difference is that the screen 2 is circular, and the touch keys 31 are also arranged in a circle. The cover 22 is disposed around the panel 21 in a shape.

According to the above description, the display of the selectable viewing angle of the present invention has the following advantages and effects: the present invention can select the display angle of the image manually in the case where the panel 21 does not rotate according to the needs of the user's viewing angle. Or automatically adjust the display angle of the image (automatic level) with the panel rotated. In this way, not only can the visual convenience and comfort during reading be improved, but also the needs of different users can be met, and the practicality of use can be improved.

The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the invention is not limited thereto, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made by the scope of the invention and the description of the invention are All remain within the scope of the invention patent.
