Abstract
A display with external device module includes a display panel and a base connected to the display panel via a connecting section. The base is provided with at least one USB connector for external devices, loudspeakers, and at least one receiving slot for mobile electric products; and the connecting section is provided with an all-in-one card reader slot. A control chip inside the base receives signals from the USB connector, receiving slot, all-in-one card reader slot, and loudspeakers. The received signals are then transmitted via a connector provided on the base to a computer host for operation, and any result from the operation is then transmitted to the base and/or the display panel. The mobile electric products may be connected to the computer host via the display with external device module without occupying extra space.
