A notebook computer with an LCD display monitor, the LCD display monitor having a latch part that serves to both turn "on" or "off" the LCD backlight whenever the LCD display is rotated open or closed on a main body, but also serves as a toggle switch to enable a user to cut power to the LCD display when the LCD display is open. The latch part is spring loaded and can slide to varying positions during use of a notebook computer. If the LCD is open, it slides to a first position where normally, the LCD backlight is "on". When the LCD monitor is closed and locked onto a main body for the notebook computer, the latch part assumes a second position where the backlight is turned off. However, when the LCD is open, if the latch part is slid fully against the spring loaded bias, a toggle switch is activated which enables the user to toggle between "backlight on" and "backlight off" during use of a notebook computer. The structure of the latch part and how these features are accomplished are disclosed herein.
