Application No. 09/819,292
embodiment of figure 2, except that a mechanism for adjusting the
angles between the sub-panels and the main panel 2 is provided
(col. 3, lines 46-58). Specifically, the sub-panels are
rotatable on uniaxial hinge 8 (col. 3, lines 63 and 64). In the
embodiment of figure 4, a biaxial hinge 9 provides for adjusting
angles between sub-panels 3,4 of main panel 2, not only in upper
and lower directions, but also in forward and backward directions
(col. 4, lines 11-16). Gouko further discloses (col. 5, lines
40-53) that:
According to the present invention, the personal
computer has a plurality of display panels themselves.
Consequently, a plurality of images are displayed in
such a plurality of display panels, respectively
divided into one display panel. Therefore, an image
displayed therein can become larger in size. On the
other hand, if a displayed image is kept in a same size
as that displayed only in one panel with the other
images, the numbers of the images simultaneously
displayed in the main and sub panels can be further
increased. In the interim, certain data sometimes
requires a very wide display area. The present
invention is particularly advantageous in such a case.
For example, a working area can be displayed in the
main panel while left and right areas or upper and
lower areas can be displayed in the sub panels.
It is additionally disclosed (col. 5, lines 55-61) that:
Moreover, when a user enjoys, for example, a car chase
or a car driving game by the use of the personal
computer, a scene around the car can be displayed in a
real manner by being divided into the sub panels,
respectively. Thus, the personal computer of the
present invention can be used in enjoying three-
dimensional (3D) game, or the like.
