The display module is connected to the main body via the pivot and capable of rotating relative to the main body. The projection module is disposed on the pivot for projecting the information of the main body.
- The invention provides another portable computer with a projecting function. The potable computer includes a main body, a display module, a pivot, and a projection module. The display module is connected to the main body via the pivot and capable of rotating relative to the main body, and it includes a display surface and a marginal surface adjacent to the display surface. The projection module, for projecting the information of the main body, is disposed on the marginal surface of the display module.
- These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with regard to the following description, appended claims, and accompanying drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a portable computer with a projecting function according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the display module inFIG. 1 with a rotation angle more than 180 degrees; -
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a projection module disposed in the display module; and -
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the projection module inFIG. 3 in operation. -
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a portable computer with a projecting function according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Theportable computer 10 includes amain body 110, adisplay module 120, aprojection module 130, and apivot 140, wherein the system of theportable computer 10 is installed in themain body 110. Thedisplay module 120 is connected with themain body 110 via thepivot 140 and may rotate relative to themain body 110. Theprojection module 130 is provided for projecting the information on adisplay surface 122. - The
portable computer 10 in the embodiment may be a laptop computer or a tablet computer, while thedisplay module 120 may be a liquid crystal display module. In addition, an inputting device (not shown) may be disposed on themain body 110 and between themain body 110 and thedisplay module 120, and it may be a keyboard or a touch panel for users to operate theportable computer 10. - The
pivot 140 may be, for example, a multi section fixing pivot to fix thedisplay module 120 at different angles after thedisplay module 120 rotates relative to themain body 110, and it can bear the weight of theportable computer 10 at other configuration states. - Preferably, the
projection module 130 corresponds to therotating axis 142 of thepivot 140. Theprojection module 130 includes aprojection lens 132 located on the extension direction ofrotating axis 142 of thepivot 140, and theprojection lens 132 may be disposed, for example, flush with themarginal surface 124 of thedisplay module 120 to keep the integrity of the device. In the embodiment, theprojection module 130 may be a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) projection module or a digital light processing (DLP) projection module. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , themain body 110 and thedisplay module 120 are set withanti-skid members anti-skid member portable computer 10 from skidding when theportable computer 10 is disposed horizontally or vertically. Theanti-skid members main body 110 and thedisplay module 120 respectively or only cover part of the side surfaces. Theanti-skid members device body 110 and thedisplay module 120 to increase the friction force between themain body 110 or thedisplay module 120 and other members to ensure theportable computer 10 stable at different configuration states. - After the
display module 120 rotate an angle relative to themain body 110, thedisplay module 120 and themain body 110 may be disposed to form an inverted V-shape structure, and therefore theportable computer 10 stands vertically to allow users to use theprojection module 130 on thepivot 140 conveniently. When the rotating angle of thedisplay module 120 is less than 180 degrees, thedisplay surface 122 of thedisplay module 120 is disposed inwards. In addition, as shown inFIG. 2 , when the rotating angle of thedisplay module 120 is larger than 180 degrees, thedisplay surface 122 of thedisplay module 120 is disposed outwards. During projecting, theprojection module 130 faces a screen (not shown), and it projects the information on thedisplay surface 122 to the screen. Since thedisplay surface 122 is disposed outwards, users can directly watch the information on thedisplay surface 122 besides the screen when operating theportable computer 10. -
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a projection module disposed in the display module;FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the projection module inFIG. 3 in operation. As shown inFIG. 3 , theprojection module 130′ directly disposed in thedisplay module 120 may be, for example, a movable device to be movably disposed on themarginal surface 124 of thedisplay module 120. When theprojection module 130′ needs to be operated, it may be moved out of or ejected from themarginal surface 124 of thedisplay module 120. As shown inFIG. 4 , aprojection lens 132′ of theprojection module 130′ is disposed outwards to face the screen. - According to the embodiments of the invention, a portable computer with a projecting function includes a built-in projection module and has a projection or power point function directly without an external projecting device. Therefore, the conventional problem of needing many connecting transmission cables is settled. The projection module is disposed along the edge of the display module, or preferably disposed on the pivot between the display module and the main body. Via the pivot between the display module and the main body, the display module and the main body can form an inverted V-shape structure to enable the display surface of the display module to be set inwards or outwards. In addition, anti-skid members may be disposed on the external marginal surface of the portable computer to increase the friction force between the portable computer and other members to ensure the portable computer stable at different configuration states, and they are made of anti-skid material such as plastics, rubber, or leather etc., and may be a patterned grain.
- Although the present invention has been described in considerable detail with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, the disclosure is not for limiting the scope of the invention. Persons having ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and changes without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the appended claims should not be limited to the description of the preferred embodiments described above.
