Abstract
Systems and techniques to display an electronic document to multiple display devices simultaneously. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes: identifying, by a software application in a computing system, display characteristics of multiple display devices, and generating, by the software application in the computing system, simultaneous independent views of an electronic document on the display devices by separately rendering the electronic document to each of the display devices based on the identified display characteristics of the device. A system can include one or more peripheral display devices, and a data processing system including a primary display device and a software application that generates simultaneous independent views of an electronic document on the display devices based on display characteristics of the display device as identified by the software application.
