Abstract:
A double display structure includes a first display, a second display, and a sliding member. The sliding member slidably mounts the first display on the second display. The sliding member includes a guiding portion and a slide interchangeably mounted on the first display and the second display. The guiding portion is slid along the slide so that the first display slides with respect to the second display along a first direction to expose the second display. The first display and the second display can be viewed side by side.

BACKGROUND 
       [0001]    1. Technical Field 
         [0002]    The present disclosure relates to a double display structure. 
         [0003]    2. Description of Related Art 
         [0004]    Having only one display to view data or images may not satisfy the needs of certain users. Users may need to work with a multitude of windows spanning across multiple applications. In this situation, the user must always switch from one window to another rather than view many windows at once. It can be inconvenient and time-consuming for users.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0009]    The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one. 
         [0010]    Referring to  FIGS. 1-2 , a double display structure includes a first display  10  and a second display  20  both mounted on a bracket  60 . The first display  10  includes a first plate  11  and a first screen  12  secured on a middle portion of the first plate  11 . Two parallel grooves  13  are defined in a back portion of the first display  10 . A plurality of first buttons  111  is disposed on the first plate  11  below the first screen  12 . The first buttons  111  can be control buttons for the first display  10 . 
         [0011]    A plurality of guiding portions  14  are fixed in the grooves  13 . Each guiding portion  14  includes a body  16  and two flanges  17  bending from two ends of the body  16 . A receiving space  15  is formed between two flanges  17  and the body  16 . Two hooks  18  respectively bend from two flanges  17  towards each other. 
         [0012]    The second display  20  includes a second plate  21  and a second screen  22  secured on a middle portion of the second plate  21 . Two parallel slides  23  are mounted on the second plate  21 . The guiding portions  14  are fixed on the back portion of the first display  10 , and the slides  23  are installed on a front portion of the second display  20 . A plurality of second buttons  211  is disposed on the second plate  21  below the second screen  22 . The second buttons  211  can be control buttons for the second display  20 . The first screen  12  and the second screen  22  faces toward the same direction. 
         [0013]    The first display  10  and the second display  20  are independent. The first buttons  111  can be control buttons for the first display  10 . The second buttons  211  can be control buttons for the second display  20 . The first display  10  and the second display  20  respectively have interfaces for connecting to power. 
         [0014]    Each slide  23  includes a sliding portion  231  and a fixing portion  232 . A sliding groove  233  is defined between the sliding portion  231  and the fixing portion  232 . The sliding portion  231  slides in the receiving space  15 . The hook  14  is inserted in the sliding groove  233 . A plurality of holes  234  is defined in the fixing portion  232  to fix the slide  23  on the second display  20  through rivets. 
         [0015]    Referring to  FIGS. 3-4 , in assembly, the guiding portions  14  are fixed in the grooves  13  by rivets. The slides  23  are mounted on the second plate  21 . The slides  23  are inserted in the guiding portions  14 . The sliding portion  231  slides in the receiving space  15  when the first display  10  slides corresponding to the second display  20 . 
         [0016]    The first display  10  can be slid along the slides  23  to an extended position revealing the second display  20 . A user can simultaneously see the first display  10  and the second display  20  to work conveniently. The guiding portions  14  may be installed on the second display  20 , and the slides  23  may be fixed on the first display  10 . 
         [0017]    The user can use any one of the first display  10  and the second display  20 . The first buttons  111  can be control buttons for the first display  10 . The second buttons  211  can be control buttons for the second display  20 . The first buttons  111  and the second buttons  211  may be a menu button, a brightness/contrast adjusting button, for example. 
         [0018]    The double display structure in accordance with a second embodiment will be described in detail below. The slide  23  may be installed in groove  13  of the first display  10 . The first display  10  also can slide on the second display  20 . The guiding portion  14  is omitted. 
         [0019]    The double display structure in accordance with a third embodiment will be described in detail below. An end of the slide  23  may have a first ring and a corresponding end of the first plate  11  may have a second ring. A lock may lock on the first ring and the second ring. Thus, the double display can be locked when the user is away. The lock can protect the content shown on the second display  20 . 
         [0020]    When the user uses the double display structure, the first display  10  and the second display  20  can display different content thereon. If the user has some secret files, the secret files can be shown on the second display  20 . The first display  10  is located in front of the second display  20 . That is, the first display  10  can block the secret files shown on the second display  20 . Thus, nobody see the secret files shown on the second display  20 . The user sees the secret files shown on the second display  20  in necessary. 
         [0021]    One of the important functions of the double display structure is to increase the display length. If there is only one display, the display length is a width of the display. In the double display structure, the display length is twice than the one display. For example, if the first display  10  shows too much content, the user need pull a scrollbar to see the content. It is not convenient for the user. The user can simultaneously use the first display  10  and the second display  20  to see the connecting content. The first display  10  can show one part of the content and the second display  20  can show the other part of the content. 
         [0022]    While the present disclosure has been illustrated by the description of the embodiments thereof, and while the embodiments have been described in considerable detail, it is not intended to restrict or in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such details. Additional advantages and modifications within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure will readily appear to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details and illustrative examples shown and described.
