  • Vehicle visual display system
    Patent number: 9007447
    Abstract: A visual display device for vehicles and portable operation is provided, comprising a display arrangement for the display of data and a holding device for securing the display arrangement to the vehicle. Data and/or power may be provided either internally or externally through the holding device to the display arrangement. The visual display device is easily movable to accommodate the user's preferences, and may be transportable to locations other than the vehicle. Additionally, the visual display unit may function as a wireless terminal for an auxiliary television unit by receiving satellite or wireless transmissions and transmitting these to the auxiliary television unit. Methods for using the visual display device attached to a vehicle and as a portable unit are also provided, allowing for a wide range of data sources and internal power configurations.
