Apparatus with display
View Patent ↗A (display) device ( 31,4,5 ) contains multiple panels ( 3,7 ) like e.g. displays. Every display can be used to display its own content and can be rolled out of a sub-housing ( 5 ) like e.g. a cartridge separately. In different configurations the same cartridge can be arranged in such a way that the panels are used for a separate functionality or multiple display panels form one big screen.
1. A panel device having at least one housing, which comprises two panels being movable between a first position and a second position thereof, each separate panel of the two panels being rollable from a separate axis, said at least one housing comprises a sub-housing for each separate panel and at least one of the sub-housings being provided with connection means enabling coupling and uncoupling a housed one of the two panels such that said housed one of the two panels is removable and replaceable by a replacement panel.
2. A panel device according to claim 1 wherein at least one of the sub-housings is slidable along a first axis.
3. A panel device according to claim 2 wherein at least one of the sub-housings is rotatable with respect to the first axis.
4. A panel device according to claim 3 in which the sub-housings have a sliding device in common.
5. A panel device according to claim 4 in which the sliding device comprises driving electronics.
6. A panel device according to claim 1 , in which at least two of the sub-housings are rotatable with respect to each other along a first axis.
7. A panel device according to claim 6 , in which at least one of the sub-housings is rotatable with respect to a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis.
8. A panel device according to claim 1 , in which the sub-housings have a driving device in common.
9. A panel device according to claim 8 , in which the driving device is rotatable.
10. A panel device according to claim 1 , in which said two panels incorporate first and second structural and/or functional characteristics.
11. A panel device according to claim 10 , in which a first one of said two panels has a touch function and a second one of said at least two panels has a display function.
12. A panel device according to claim 1 , in which said two panels are realized in a first panel technology for a first panel and a second panel technology for a second one of the two panels, the second panel technology differing from the first technology.
13. A panel device according to claim 1 , in which the housing comprises at least three panels.
14. An electronic assembly comprising an electronic apparatus and the panel device according to claim 1 the electronic apparatus comprising means for providing panel parameters to an interface between the electronic apparatus and the panel device.
15. A panel device according to claim 2 , in which at least one of the sub-housings is rotatable with respect to a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis.
16. A panel device having at least one housing, which comprises two panels being movable between a first position and a second position thereof, the two panels being rollable with respect to a common axis, said at least one housing comprises a sub-housing for each separate panel and at least one of the sub-housings being provided with connection means enabling coupling and uncoupling a housed one of the two panels such that said housed one of the two panels is removable and replaceable by a replacement panel.
17. A panel device according to claim 16 wherein at least one of the sub-housings is slidable along a first axis.
18. A panel device according to claim 16 , in which the sub-housings have a driving device in common.
19. A panel device according to claim 16 , in which said two panels are realized in a first panel technology for a first panel and a second panel technology for a second one of the two panels, the second panel technology differing from the first technology.
