Abstract
A user terminal combining touch-screen and keyboard functionality, and also combining laptop and flat-pad layouts. The flat-pad layout can be locked into place using sliding pieces. The terminal comprises a base including a keyboard, a first display screen attached to the base along a primary fold line, a second display screen included in the base and located between the keyboard and the primary fold line, and at least one sliding piece for fixing the second display screen in a substantially flat configuration with the first display screen and/or with another part of the base. The first display screen, the second display screen, and the keyboard have substantially the same width, in order to fully utilize the width of the entire user terminal. This user terminal has a simple mechanical structure, having less than three fold lines, and the keyboard may be detached to reveal additional screen space.
