Abstract
A portable computer having a body and display assembly pivotally movable with respect to the body via a hinge mechanism, the display assembly including a hinge frame coupled to the hinge mechanism, the hinge frame including a side vertical wall, a lower wall and an upper wall, and the lower wall and the upper wall being substantially perpendicular to the side vertical wall and spaced from each other; and a display module clamped with the lower wall and the upper wall.
Claims23
A portable computer having a body and display assembly pivotally movable with respect to the body via a hinge mechanism, the display assembly comprising:
- two hinge frames coupled to the hinge mechanism, each hinge frame includes a side vertical wall, a lower wall and an upper wall, and the lower wall and the upper wall being substantially perpendicular to the side vertical wall and spaced from each other;
- and
- a display module clamped with the lower wall and the upper wall of each hinge frame.
A portable computer having a body and display assembly pivotally movable with respect to the body via a hinge mechanism, the display assembly comprising:
- a display module including a display surface, a rear surface parallel to the display surface, and a side wall portion, the side wall portion having a right side surface, a left side surface, an upper side surface and a lower side surface;
- and
- a unitary hinge frame coupled to the hinge mechanism and supporting the display module, the unitary hinge frame including a side vertical wall supporting one of the right and left side surfaces, a lower wall supporting the rear surface, and upper and lower vertical walls perpendicular to the side vertical wall and the lower wall;
- wherein the upper and lower vertical walls support the upper and lower side surfaces of the display module respectively so that the display module does not move in a longitudinal direction of the unitary hinge frame.
A computer, comprising,
- a system body;
- a flat panel display module including a major surface and a side wall portion substantially perpendicular to the major surface, the side wall portion having at least one fixing hole;
- and
- a hinge mechanism coupling the system body and the flat panel display module, including at least one protrusion corresponding to the fixing hole of the side wall portion of the flat panel display module.
A computer, comprising, a system body;
- a flat panel display module including a side wall portion having at least one fixing hole;
- and
- a hinge mechanism coupling the system body and the flat panel display module, including at least one protrusion corresponding to the fixing hole of the side wall portion, wherein the fixing hole has a rectangular shape.
A portable computer, comprising:
- a body;
- a display assembly;
- a hinge mechanism for pivotally moving the display assembly with respect to the body;
- the display assembly further comprising:
- a unitary hinge frame coupled to the hinge mechanism, the unitary hinge frame including:
- a side vertical wall;
- a lower wall;
- and
- an upper wall;
- wherein the lower wall and the upper wall are substantially perpendicular to the side vertical wall and are space apart from each other;
- and
- a display module clamped between the lower wall and the upper wall.
