Description

Portable folding information display device {Folder type display device for portable}

The present invention relates to a portable folding information display device having a single large screen by connecting a plurality of flat panel display elements. In particular, the portable folding device can be usefully equipped with accessories such as a battery and a mobile phone required for a portable information device. An information display apparatus.

Recently, due to the development of portable information devices, it is possible to build a computer work environment and a network connection environment regardless of a place by using a portable computer, digital wireless communication and portable peripheral devices.

For this reason, the utilization of portable information devices is gradually increasing over time, and in particular, information devices such as mobile phones, portable computers (Personal Computer Assistants), and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) are considered in terms of mobility. Lightweight shortening is desperately needed.

However, miniaturization of portable information devices increases convenience of carrying, moving, and storing, while the screen displaying information becomes smaller. This may not be a big problem in the modern society, which is the age of information flooding. none.

Therefore, a display device that is small in size, convenient to carry, move, and store, and which can display a large amount of information by utilizing the narrow space, is required. Background Art Foldable display elements are known in which three display elements implement one large screen to enable a large amount of information display.

As the foldable display device, a flat display device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), a thin film transistor (TFT) -LCD, a field emission display (FED), a plasma display panel (PDP), and an electro luminescent (EL) device is used.

According to the conventional portable folding display device which is configured to be foldable flat panel display device, it is easy to carry, move and store due to the miniaturization of the product, and the large screen can be realized. There is a problem in that the use time is limited, and there is a problem in that a wireless communication device must be provided to access the Internet.

In general, a portable information device uses a large capacity battery or an auxiliary battery together to solve the problem of use time. However, conventionally, it is inconvenient to carry a large capacity battery or auxiliary battery one by one, there is a hassle to replace it if necessary.

In addition, portable information devices such as portable computers and some PDAs have a problem in that they are inconvenient to use because they need to be connected to a mobile phone through a separate connector for internet access.

In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the present invention is to form a portable folding information display device having a single large screen by connecting a plurality of flat panel display elements, by easily mounting accessories such as batteries or mobile phones together Its purpose is to make it available.
