Unlike other DVD players that open similarly to a laptop computer where the display face is pivoted up and open from a protected screen mode for a viewing mode, an embodiment of the present invention comprises a DVD player that occupies essentially the same space when in a protected screen mode and when in viewing mode. This may be accomplished by pivoting the display of the DVD player up, rotating it 180 degrees and then pivoting the display down so that the rear face of the display is placed in contact with the top surface of the DVD reader. This viewing angle allows for a minimal use of space while keeping the largest screen viewing area and may be referred to as a tablet or backwards fixed viewing mode.

A system and method are disclosed for level shifting a DDC bus with a low voltage loss. A pull up circuit includes an NMOS transistor, a PMOS transistor and resistor. An NMOS pull up gate is also included in line with the DDC bus. When powered, the level shifter adjusts the voltage of transmitted signals to match the voltage of a receiving device. The resulting adjusted is slightly lower due to a threshold voltage lost across one or more transistors. Additionally, when unpowered, the level shifter releases the signal transmission line. Unadjusted signals can then be transmitted without consumption of power by the level shifter. 1.
