The mobile monitor, screen, or display is provided for use with a laptop or other electronic device to offer a second monitor for multitasking while traveling. The monitor may connect to the laptop or other electronic device through a docking station which is provided with an enclosure and a cord. The monitor or display can expand upward through the docking station and unfold to reveal a full, second computer monitor. The invention will provide the user with one or multiple extra monitors to combine with their device when traveling. The auxiliary display can be used as needed to complete work, and then retract into the enclosure or docking station when no longer needed.
