Abstract
A personal computer provides a video signal to dual first and second displays, the second display remote from the computer receiving its video signal by telemetry instead of through a video cable. A video signal transmitter connects to the computer through a transmitter cable plugged into a computer display port. The cable from the second display that would otherwise be plugged into the computer video port is instead connected to a video signal receiver. The signal is then transmitted from the computer by the connected transmitter to the receiver connected to the second display. The second display may detachably mount to the back of the first display.

A dual display computer comprising
- a first display receiving its video signal directly from a first computer to which it is functionally connected and at all times dedicated exclusively to the first computer,
- a stand alone second display, mounted to a back of the first display, also at all times dedicated exclusively to the first computer, thus separate from and otherwise unassociated with a second computer, the second display being physically detached or detachable from the first computer and receiving its video signal directly and exclusively from the first computer by telemetry without a second computer intermediate the second display and the first computer such that display content displayed on the first display is displayed on the second display.

- a stand alone second display also at all times dedicated exclusively to the first computer, thus separate from and otherwise unassociated with a second computer, the second display being physically detached from the first computer and receiving its video signal directly and exclusively from the first computer by telemetry without a second computer intermediate the second display and the first computer such that display content displayed on the first display is displayed on the second display, wherein the second display is attachable and detachable from the first display,
- wherein the first computer comprises a video port through which a video signal formatted to drive a display is communicated to it;
- and
- wherein a transmitter adapted to telemeter a video signal to a receiver is connected to the first computer by a cable with a cable connector plugged into said video port;
- and
- wherein the second display is connected to said receiver, which receiver is adapted to receive said video signal telemetered from the transmitter and is further adapted to communicate said video signal to said second display,
- wherein the second display is removable from the first display to a convenient location by an observer, the second display being adapted for quick and facile transport by the observer and further adapted as a lightweight display for viewing while being hand held by the observer.
A dual display computer comprising
- a first display receiving its video signal directly from a first computer to which it is functionally connected and at all times dedicated exclusively to the first computer,
- a stand alone second display also at all times dedicated exclusively to the first computer, thus separate from and otherwise unassociated with any other computer, the second display being physically detachable from the first computer at a rear of the first display and receiving its video signal directly and exclusively from the first computer by telemetry without any other computer intermediate the second display and the first computer such that display content displayed on the first display is displayed on the second display.
