Abstract

Provided is a portable electronic device which achieves good operability when opened across the width of the portable electronic device having a first case and a second case which can open lengthwise and open widthwise. In a portable terminal (10), a first connection shaft (41) connecting a first case (20) and a connection member (40) is arranged between the operating surface (20a) of the first case (20) and the outer surface (20b) on the side opposite the operating surface (20a). Therefore, the connection member (40) does not project from the operating surface (20a) of the first case (20), and there is little risk of interference of the user's fingers with the connection member (40) when the device is opened widthwise. Compared to the past, the operability for the user is improved when the device is opened widthwise. In addition, the portable terminal (10) can ensure a wider effective area of the operation unit (21) in the planar area of the first case (20). Therefore, larger sizes and larger placement intervals of the operation buttons (21a,21b) are possible, and the degree of freedom in the design increases.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a foldable portable electronic device. Background technique [0002] There is known a foldable portable electronic device that can be opened and closed via a hinge mechanism, a first housing mainly has an operation part, and a second housing mainly has a liquid crystal display (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [0003] In recent years, users send / receive e-mails, play games, and receive television broadcasts by utilizing the liquid crystal displays and operation sections of such portable electronic devices. As the usage modes of such portable electronic devices are diversified, when sending / receiving e-mails or playing games, for example, it is convenient to place the device in a so-called vertically opened state in which the lower case The main body (the first casing) and the upper casing (the second casing) are opened in the longitudinal direction via the coupling part (hinge mechanism), so that the liquid crystal displ...
