In a rolled-up state, the cover element at least partially releases the display unit. When unrolled, at least parts of the display unit are covered. To roll up or unroll the cover element over the display unit, the protective device has a roll-up device.
  • a sensitive display unit can be effectively protected on the one hand, on the other hand, the roll-up cover element does not require a lot of additional space neither when rolled up nor when it is unrolled, i.e. the handling of mobile electrical devices is not negatively affected.

  • a mouse pad is an input field via which a pointing movement on the display unit is controlled.
  • the invention further relates to a foldable cover element in which a keyboard is integrated. This effectively protects the display unit underneath. At the same time, use on the go is not impaired, since the cover unit, which is particularly transparent, remains on the display unit even during use.
