1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to display devices, particularly to a detachable table display device and a display thereof.
2. Description of Related Art
Tablet display devices, such as tablet televisions, may have a large sized display for viewers to comfortably watch television programs. However, such tablet televisions have a single function of receiving television programs, and cannot surf the internet or handle office work like a computer. A computer may be used to install television software and to watch online television. However, size of a computer display is usually small, and it is uncomfortable for the viewers to watch television on the computer display.
Therefore, there is room for improvement in the art.
The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present disclosure. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout several views.
In the illustrated embodiment, the display 10 has a large size, substantially 20 inches to 40 inches. The display 10 includes a touch screen 11, a central processing unit (CPU) 12, a wireless receiving module 13, and a television module 14. In the illustrated embodiment, the touch screen 11 includes a plurality of thin film transistor (TFT). The touch screen 11 may be a resistive touch screen, a capacitive touch screen, a piezoelectric touch screen, or an infrared touch screen. The wireless receiving module 13 and the television module 14 are respectively electrically connected to the CPU 12. The wireless receiving module 13 is configured to receive a network signal. The television module 14 is configured to receive a television signal.
The display 10 further includes a first transmission port 15 and an electric power port 16. The first transmission port 15 is electrically connected to the CPU 12. The electric power port 16 is configured to connect with an external power (not shown) for continually supplying power to the display 10 when the display 10 is separated from the assisting platform 20 or the display 10 is used singly. The data line 20 includes a first connector 22 and a second connecter 24 respectively positioned at opposite ends. In an alternative embodiment, the display 10 includes other ports, such as an USB port, for inputting or outputting datum.
The assisting platform 30 is substantially rectangular, and includes a housing 31 made of magnesium alloy, a handle 32 positioned at an outer side surface of the housing 31, a touch screen 33 positioned on a top surface of the housing 31, a power 34, a compact disc driver (CD driver) 35, a hard disk 36, a loudspeaker 37, a wireless router module 38, and a second transmission port 39. Both of the power 34, the CD driver 35, the hard disk 36, the loudspeaker 37, and the wireless router module 38 are received in the housing 31. The CD driver 35, the hard disk 36, the loudspeaker 37, and the wireless router module 38 are electrically connected to the power 34. The second transmission port 39 is positioned at a side surface of the housing 31, and is electrically connected to the power 34, the CD driver 35, the hard disk 36, the loudspeaker 37, and the touch screen 33. The first connector 22 of data line 20 is detachably inserted into the first transmission port 15, and the second connector 24 is detachably inserted into the second transmission port 39, thus the CPU 12 of the display 10 is electrically connected to the power 34, the CD driver 35, and the hard disk 36.
The touch screen 33 is electrically connected to the CPU 12 of the display 10. Thus, the touch screen 33 is an input interface, and the display 10 is an output interface. Users can input commands via the touch screen 33 to control the detachable tablet display device 100, thus it is convenient for users to input or output signals, or control a game interface, and it provides a well watching effect and a well experiencing effect. In the illustrated embodiment, the power 34 is a large sized battery having a large volume, to supply electric power to the detachable tablet display device 100 for a long time. Thus, the detachable tablet display device 100 of the illustrated embodiment can be used outdoors or for an exhibition.
The hard disk 36 can enlarge a storing volume of the display 10, and can store large datum, such as a large video, or a large file. The CD driver 35 is used to read a disk, such as a CD. The loudspeaker 37 is better than a sound card of a computer of a television, and has a large adjustable range of volume. The wireless router module 38 is configured to receive or emit a wireless network signal. The wireless receiving module 13 of the display 10 receives the wireless network signal emitted by the wireless router module 38.
The hinge 50 includes a fixing portion 52 mounted on the assisting platform 30, a pivoting shaft 54, and a bracket 56 mounted on the display 10. The fixing portion 52 defines a positioning hole (not shown), and the bracket 56 defines a pair of fixing holes (not shown). The pivoting shaft 54 is inserted into the positioning hole and the fixing holes, to rotatably connected to the display 10 and the assisting platform 30. The hinge 50 is capable of adjusting an included angle of the display 10 relative to the assisting platform 30. In an alternative embodiment, the display 10 can be connected to the assisting platform 30 by other connecting structures, such as a fastening structure, or a pluggable structure. In an alternative embodiment, the hinge 50 may include a friction disk, a washer, and a restricting member.
In an alternative embodiment, the hinge 50 may be omitted, and the display 10 can be only connected to the assisting platform 30 via the data line 20, allowing easy detachment of the display 10 and the assisting platform 30. The display 10 can he hung on a wall, for example.
The display 10 of the detachable tablet display device 100 can be used with the assisting platform 30. The assisting platform 30 includes the power 34, the hard disk 36, the CD driver 35, the wireless router module 38, which enable enlargement of the functions of the display 10, and allows upgrading of the assisting platform 30. The display 10 also can be used singly, and then users can control the display 10 via the touch screen 11 to watch television, or surf the internet, play games, handle office work, for example.
It is believed that the present embodiments and their advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the embodiments or sacrificing all of its material advantages.
