ABSTRACT:
A display apparatus for providing multi-sided viewing functionality to a portable computer system. In one embodiment, the display apparatus is comprised of a front cover which is electrically and mechanically coupled to the portable computer. A first display component is disposed on the front cover and includes a front display panel and a rear display panel. A second display component is coupled to the portable computer system. A display control circuit, coupled to the portable computer system, is adapted to activate and to deactivate display panels in direct response to the orientation of the front cover, and when portable computer system is so configured, to the orientation of a second cover, interposed between the front cover and the portable computer system. Electronic ink technology is used in the formation of the two sided display components.
