A personal video system is provided, the system employing a thin housing configured to mount a video display and associated-electronics module side-by-side. In the preferred embodiment, the housing takes the form of a vehicle sun visor, the display being mounted such that its viewing surface lies generally flush with a front panel of the housing. Mounted to the housing is a flap which pivots between a closed orientation wherein the flap lies against the front panel and an open orientation wherein the flap extends from the front panel. A video disconnect interrupts operation of the display except when the flap is in its open orientation such that the display is shielded from view of a vehicle driver. A video input provides a video signal to the control panel, and correspondingly, provides a control signal to the display. |
