Abstract
A portable computing device is equipped with multiple display panels. The display panels and hinged, jointed or otherwise disposed to rotate or slide with respect to one another in a transition from a compact configuration to an expanded configuration. In a basic embodiment three output screens take a form of a triptych for which an input panel forms a base. The output panels are deployed with a bend when opened and images angled in towards an observer. The display panels comprise a main panel and two auxiliary panels. In a variation a forth display panel is rotatably or foldably joined to the central display panel so that a total of four display panels may be deployed in a hub and petal configuration. The side panels may be eliminated from the four panel embodiment so that the input panel and two remaining display panels form a vertically orientable triptych with the input panel serving as base.
