摘要： A portable computer (11) is configured to accept removable modular display panels of different types that plug into a structure hinged to the body of the computer (11). Each display panel (13) has a sliding engagement means (25-30) fixed along a lower edge, and the hinged structure (17) has a mating sliding engagement means (39', 39', 32 and 33) along an upper edge and parallel to the axis of the hinge, allowing a display panel to engage and disengage in the direction of the axis of the hinge. In another aspect of the invention, in the motion of engaging a display, a two-part, multi-pin electrical connector (39) is also engaged, for conveying control signals to the display. In an embodiment of the invention, display modules adaptable to the computer have a code stored in a memory device (51) that is accessible on start-up by the computer, to identify and load a display driver routine capable of driving the display module assembled to the computer.
