Abstract

A foldable and portable planar display device includes a display, an intermediate support, and two side supports. The display includes a display screen and a display pivotal connecting means at a lower end thereof. The intermediate support includes an intermediate support pivotal connecting means that is pivotally connected to the display pivotal connecting means such that the intermediate support can pivotally turn with respect to the display and be positioned at a determined angle. The intermediate support is closable to rest against a rear side of the display. Each side support includes a side support pivotal connecting means pivotally connected to the display pivotal connecting means such that the side support can turn with respect to the display and be positioned at a determined angle. The side supports are closable to rest against the rear side of the display. By means of the intermediate support and the two side supports, the display can be supported on a planar surface in a firm and stable manner.

Dependent claims

A foldable and portable planar display device, comprising:

a display having a display screen and a display pivotal connection at a lower end thereof;
an inter mediate support including an intermediate support pivotal connection that is pivotally connected to said display pivotal connection such that said intermediate support is pivotally movable with respect to said display so as to be positioned at a first predetermined angle relative to the display, said intermediate support being closable to rest against a rear side of said display;
two side supports each having a side support pivotal connection pivotally connected to said display pivotal connection such that said side supports are pivotally movable with respect to said display so as to be positioned at a second pre-determined angle relative to the display, said side supports being closable to rest against said rear side of said display;
whereby said first pre-determined angle of said intermediate support is different from the second pre-determined angle of said side supports whereby said display is supported at three points to enable said display to stand firmly and stably on a surface.
