Abstract
A display connector including a body having a receiving portion with a predetermined depth at its one end and having input keys on its top surface, and a display member for receiving a picture signal from the body and displaying an image. A rotation bracket is rotatably and slidably installed inside the receiving portion, and rotates between a first position at which the rotation bracket protrudes to the top surface of the body during rotation and a second position at which the rotation bracket is accommodated inside the receiving portion. A hinge pin is rotatably coupled to the rotation bracket and the display member is detachably connected to the hinge pin when the rotation bracket is positioned at the first position. A position fixing mechanism is provided for fixing the position of the rotation bracket. A light emitting module is supported by the rotation bracket to be rotated with the hinge pin, and has a laser diode array for independently irradiating light according to a driving signal. A light receiving module is installed in the display member to be locked to face the light emitting module when the display member is mounted on the body, and has a photodiode array for independently performing a photoelectric conversion on incident light. The display member is detachably installed with respect to the hinge pin so as to open or close the top surface of the body when the rotation bracket is positioned at the first position, and the rotation bracket is rotated to reach the second position when the display member is disconnected from the body.
