Can I use the Singleton Pattern to switch between the screens(JFrames ) in the Application ?

It's not clear to me how you would do that. But in general: if you're thinking about using the Singleton pattern anywhere, think again. It's one of the most abused patterns around. Use it only for classes which simply break if you have more than one instance, not for classes where you happen to need only a single instance.
