Benefits of technology

[0007] Accordingly, a display cabinet with modular slide door of the invention provides a cabinet with a defined display space, that is adapted to house a display device and to conveniently conceal and access the display by sliding manipulation of the modular slide door.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, one's attention may be inappropriately drawn to the display, merely by its presence, even when it is not active.
These displays may also present an undesired contrast in the aesthetics of a room environment in which they are located; clashing with the room decor.
While a large video display device must be readily seen in use, it is not always a desired visual element in many room environments when not in use.

Abstract

A display cabinet with modular slide door is adapted to house a video display device. A cabinet top is spaced above a base, and is generally aligned with the base. The door is slidably connected with the top and adapted to selectively conceal and reveal the display device. The cabinet may have left and right module sections, each of a modular width. The door preferably has the same modular width and may slide from one section to the other and alternatively reveal or conceal each section. The cabinet may further have a center section of two modular widths and a second modular slide door. The center section may define a display space. The modular slide doors may alternatively slide to conceal the display space, revealing the left and right module sections, and slide to reveal the display space, concealing the left and right module sections.
