A display with orientation dependent rotatably image presents a properly oriented image in a first mounted fold-down position and a second up-right table-top position. The display folds up into a base unit when not being used for compact storage of the system. An orientation determining device is included for determining the current orientation of the display and properly orienting the image based on that current orientation. The orientation determining device is either a mechanically flipped switch, an automatic switch or an acceleration sensor. The display screen is preferably an LCD screen. Alternatively, the display screen is a light valve type display including a grating light valve system. The display is for use in a television system, computer system, video phone or browser. Infrared input devices are used to control the display and provide data to the computer system. In an alternate embodiment, a touch sensitive screen is also used as an input device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A display with orientation dependent rotatable image presents a properly oriented image in a first mounted fold-down position, a second up-right table-top position and a third portrait mode position.
The display folds up into a base unit when not being used for compact storage of the system.
An orientation determining device is included for determining the current orientation of the display and properly orienting the image based on that current orientation.
The orientation determining device is either a mechanically flipped switch, an automatic switch or an acceleration sensor.
Other orientation sensors can be used such as a mercury switch.
The display screen is preferably a diffraction grating light valve (GLV) projection system.
Alternatively, the display screen is an LCD screen, an LCD projection system, a reflective LCD system, a DMD projection system, a field emission projection system, or an electroluminscent projection system.
The display is for use in a television system, computer system, video phone or internet browser.
Preferably, wireless input devices are used to control the display and provide data to the computer system.
In an alternate embodiment, a touch sensitive screen is also used as an input device.
