ABSTRACT:
A flat panel display that is convertible between direct and projection display applications is incorporated in an information processing device of a unitary construction. In preferred embodiment, the information processing device is selectively configurable as a laptop-style personal computer and a projection display panel. The device includes a base section that contains computer circuitry, supports data input keys, and is pivotally coupled to a display panel section having an addressable flat panel display and an opaque backing member in opposed face-to-face relation thereto. The display panel section is selectively positionable between a first position in which the flat panel display is directly observable by a user, a second position in which the backing member covers the flat panel display and the data input keys for storage purposes, and a third position in which the display panel section is generally nonoverlapping and co-planar with the base section.
