1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a multi-display digital photo frame.
2. Description of Related Art
Digital photo frames are intended to conveniently display images without the need to print the images out. Displaying images is an essential function of digital photo frames, therefore, various manners for displaying images will be an important element for attracting customers. However, many digital photo frames have only a single LCD, accordingly, forms of displaying images with a single LCD are restricted. Therefore, what is needed is a digital photo frame with multiple displays, which can overcome the aforementioned shortcomings.
The components of the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of a multi-display digital photo frame. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout several views.
Referring
The front cover 10 defines several apertures 11-16 thereof. The shape of the apertures 11-16 can be rectangular, circular, and so on. For example, in the embodiment as shown in
The body 20 includes several holding components 21-26. The number of the holding components 21-26 is equal to the number of the apertures 11-16, and the holding components 21-26 are substantially the same shape as the apertures 11-16, by this arrangement, the front cover 10 and the body 20 can be fastened together. In addition, at least two of the holding components 11-16 are configured for mounting LCDs (Liquid Crystal Display), and a processor is provided for each LCD. For illustrative purpose, hereinafter, two holding components 21 and 22 configured for mounting LCDs are taken as an example. The holding component 21 mounts a LCD 27, and the bottom of the holding component 21 further mounts a first processor 31, and the LCD 27 is connected to the first processor 31 through a bus 28. The holding component 22 mounts a LCD 29, and the bottom of the holding component 22 further mounts a second processor 32, and the LCD 29 is connected to the second processor 32 through another bus 30. One of the processors (e.g., the first processor 31) is regarded as a master processor, and the other of the processors (e.g., the second processor 32) is regarded as a slave processor. The master processor 31 is connected to a power source, an input unit, an interface, and so on, and is further connected to the slave processor 32 through a bus, e.g., a USB bus.
The other holding components 23-26 are configured for holding printed photos and having a transparent material to cover and protect the photos.
Although the present embodiments have been specifically described as examples, the disclosure is not to be construed as being limited thereto. Various changes or modifications may be made to the embodiment without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
