Abstract

A personal video system employing a thin housing (10) to mount a video display (16) and associated electronics module (14) side-by-side. In the preferred embodiment, the housing takes the form of a vehicle sun visor, the display (16) being mounted such that its viewing surface (16a) lies generally flush with a front panel (12a) of the housing (10). Mounted to the housing (10) is a flap (20) which pivots between a closed orientation wherein the flap (20) lies against the front panel (12a) and an open orientation wherein the flap (20) extends from the front panel (12a). A video disconnect (30) interrupts operation of the display except when the flap (20) is in its open orientation such that the display (16) is shielded from view of a vehicle driver. A video input (17) provides a video signal to the control panel (14) and, correspondingly, provides a control signal to the display (16).
