Abstract
A trifold display device comprising panel opening mechanism(s) which open the device, in a damped motion, from a closed position wherein display surfaces are concealed from view to an open configuration wherein three display surfaces are exposed. The panel operating mechanisms exert forces on two panels, thereby urging the panels toward an open position. Upon actuation of a release latch, the opening mechanisms move a support panel around to the back of the mirror, thereby raising the device into a tilted position (if the device is resting on a surface). Preferably simultaneously, the two movable display panels are also moved to an open configuration wherein they are exposed.

A display device comprising:
- a base;
- a right panel, movably connected to said base, movable from a first position proximate said base to a second position wherein at least a portion of said right panel is further from said base than when said right panel is in said first position;
- a left panel, movably connected to said base, movable from a first position proximate said base to a second position wherein at least a portion of said left panel is further from said base than when said left panel is in said first position;
- a movable support, movably connected to said base and movable from a first position to a second position, wherein in said second position said base is raised from a support surface further than when said support is in said first position;
- and
- means for moving said right panel, said left panel and said support from said respective first positions to said second positions.
