SPLIT SCREEN

On a display device , display space that has been divided into two or more areas, so that each area can display different portions of the same file or portions of different files. Note 1: The split screen excludes the data lying between the portions of the file or files being displayed and includes the desired data in the two or more windows afforded by the split screen. Note 2: Examples of split screens are screens in which different portions of a spreadsheet, database , graph, or picture that are too far apart in storage to be viewed or displayed simultaneously as a single image, are viewed adjacently on a single screen.
