What if all-glass iMac, but with a screen on both sides?

Patently Apple spotted some interesting changes to one of Apple’s wilder patents — a foldable display (possibly an iMac) housed within a single piece of glass.

Part of the update describes a display on the back. What it could be for is a mystery, but I’m going with very fancy sessions of the board game Battleship.

A rear screen shown with the display / iMac’s dock at the bottom and the folded portion at the bottom curving away from the viewer.
