formed with a VTR portion for holding a removable tape
cassette and a monitor portion which includes a liquid crystal
display device. The VTR driving substrate and the monitor
driving substrate are integrally “sandwiched” between the VTR
mechanical unit and the liquid crystal display panel.
Appellants assert at page 12 of the specification that this
compact construction achieves miniaturization of the VTR
structure while still accommodating a large-sized display
panel.
Claim 5 is illustrative of the invention and reads as
follows:
5. A VTR with a monitor-equipped built-in camera
comprising:
a monitor/VTR portion integrally formed of a VTR
portion holding a removable tape cassette and a
monitor portion including a liquid crystal display device;
a camera portion;
a rotary mechanism attaching said camera portion to
said monitor/VTR portion in a relatively rotatable
manner; and wherein
said monitor/VTR portion has a VTR driving substrate
for driving said VTR portion and a monitor driving
substrate for driving said monitor portion, said VTR
driving substrate and said monitor driving substrate
integrally sandwiched between said monitor portion and said
VTR portion and said monitor driving substrate being
