Abstract
Description
- 1. Technical Field
- The present disclosure relates to a multi-display digital photo frame.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Digital photo frames are intended to conveniently display images without the need to print the images out. Displaying images is an essential function of digital photo frames, therefore, various manners for displaying images will be an important element for attracting customers. However, many digital photo frames have only a single LCD, accordingly, forms of displaying images with a single LCD are restricted. Therefore, what is needed is a digital photo frame with multiple displays, which can overcome the aforementioned shortcomings.
- The components of the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of a multi-display digital photo frame. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout several views.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a multi-display digital photo frame in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. -
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a multi-display digital photo frame according to an exemplary embodiment. - Referring
FIGS. 1-2 , a multi-display digital photo frame 1 in accordance with an exemplary embodiment is provided. The multi-display digital photo frame 1 includes afront cover 10, abody 20, and arear cover 40 having a bracket for supporting the multi-display photo frame 1. Thefront cover 10, thebody 20, and thecover 40 are connected together through bolts (not shown). - The
front cover 10 defines several apertures 11-16 thereof. The shape of the apertures 11-16 can be rectangular, circular, and so on. For example, in the embodiment as shown inFIG. 1 , the apertures 11-16 are rectangular. - The
body 20 includes several holding components 21-26. The number of the holding components 21-26 is equal to the number of the apertures 11-16, and the holding components 21-26 are substantially the same shape as the apertures 11-16, by this arrangement, thefront cover 10 and thebody 20 can be fastened together. In addition, at least two of the holding components 11-16 are configured for mounting LCDs (Liquid Crystal Display), and a processor is provided for each LCD. For illustrative purpose, hereinafter, twoholding components holding component 21 mounts aLCD 27, and the bottom of theholding component 21 further mounts afirst processor 31, and theLCD 27 is connected to thefirst processor 31 through abus 28. Theholding component 22 mounts aLCD 29, and the bottom of theholding component 22 further mounts asecond processor 32, and theLCD 29 is connected to thesecond processor 32 through anotherbus 30. One of the processors (e.g., the first processor 31) is regarded as a master processor, and the other of the processors (e.g., the second processor 32) is regarded as a slave processor. Themaster processor 31 is connected to a power source, an input unit, an interface, and so on, and is further connected to theslave processor 32 through a bus, e.g., a USB bus. - The other holding components 23-26 are configured for holding printed photos and having a transparent material to cover and protect the photos.
- Although the present embodiments have been specifically described as examples, the disclosure is not to be construed as being limited thereto. Various changes or modifications may be made to the embodiment without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
