    Abstract: A magnetic latch for a display of a laptop computer uses magnetic attraction to maintain the display closed and uses magnetic repelling forces to pop-up the display when opened. The latch includes one or more magnetic elements in the body of the laptop and at least one magnetic element in the display. When the display is closed, the magnet element in the display is positioned adjacent the magnet element in the body having an opposite polarity so that the magnet elements are attracted to one another. To pop-up the display, the user moves the magnetic element in the display so that it meets the magnetic pole in the body having the same polarity. When these meet, the repelling force between them causes the display to open slightly so that a user can then readily open the display.

    Abstract translation: 用于膝上型计算机的显示器的磁性闩锁使用磁吸引力来保持显示器关闭,并且当打开时使用磁排斥力来弹出显示器。 闩锁包括笔记本电脑主体中的一个或多个磁性元件和显示器中的至少一个磁性元件。 当显示器关闭时,显示器中的磁体元件位于与具有相反极性的本体中的磁体元件附近,使得磁体元件被彼此吸引。 为了弹出显示器,用户移动显示器中的磁性元件使其与具有相同极性的本体中的磁极相遇。 当它们相遇时,它们之间的排斥力使得显示器稍微打开,使得用户可以容易地打开显示器。
