ROBOTICALLY CONTROLLED CONVERTIBLE DISPLAY

摘要

A convertible display includes a number of video display panels which are movable between a first position in which the panels extend in the same plane to define a unified display and a configuration in which one or more of the panels are moved into other planes which allow them to form steps. Multiple of the rotated panels may form a sequence of steps, e.g. a staircase. The convertible display may be moved via a robotic mount, whereby the position or orientation of the convertible display may be changed.

主权项

1. A convertible display comprising:
at least one support; a plurality of video display panels supported by said at least one support, each video display panel having a display face, said plurality of video panels when in a first position having their display faces positioned in a first common plane and cooperating to define a generally planar unified display; two or more of said video display panels movably mounted for movement between said first position and a second position in which said display faces thereof are in separate planes from one another and which are offset at an angle relative to said first plane, whereby said display faces thereof may be used as step surfaces; and at least one drive configured to move said two or more video display panels from said first position to said second position.
