Abstract
A dynamic dual displays system is coupled with a computing device to provide at least two display panels for single user or multiple user applications. In one embodiment, two display panels are provided in a back-to-back configuration connected by a hinge to allow rotation motion of the display panels relative to each other. Depending on the relative positions of the display panels and the computing device, the combined system provides a hybrid device that may dynamically serve as a notebook or a tablet computer. The multiple display panels may present the same or different contents simultaneously, depending on application. In a multi-user application, the display panels may be presented to different users, one of which accepts input data through a touch-sensitive surface on the corresponding display panel.
