Cited by Nokia and HP, the asset describes a portable computer with a retractable screen made of flexible material and an extendable projector for displaying data on multiple screens. Traditional components such as the keyboard, mouse, and hard disk are housed in the computer base. In a closed position, the screen and projector described by the asset retract to the base leaving a footprint that is much smaller than current laptop models. In addition, this design also requires less power than current models due to the elimination of a standard LCD screen.

The worldwide market for portable computers is expected to gross revenues of approximately $117 billion by the end of 2010.(1) "This portfolio should be of interest to entities involved in manufacturing personal computers, portable computers, hand held devices, and projection devices," said Dean Becker, ICAP Ocean Tomo CEO.
