ABSTRACT:
The privacy screen for laptop computer is an expandable hood that may be removably attached to a notebook computer. The privacy screen has an elastic fabric cover secured around an expandable frame. The frame has a plurality of telescoping rods attached to connector pieces using ball and socket joints, which allow the frame to expand concurrently in multiple directions. The screen may be assembled before sale, in which case the screen uses a fixed number of pieces in its frame and the fabric cover is permanently secured to the frame, or provided as a kit, in which cut-out sections of the fabric cover allow the end user to assemble the telescoping rods and connecting pieces as desired. The frame may be secured to the laptop using spring-biased clips.
