Problems solved by technology

Therefore, in the conventional folding type portable terminal, since it is difficult to make the main body and the folder thin, the overall thickness of the portable terminal is thick
This thickness can make it difficult to grip a portable terminal, and some users find the form factor unattractive
[0010] In addition, in a conventional folding type portable terminal, since a signal is generated by pressing a key of a keyboard, a certain space is required to allow the key to be pressed
Therefore, the thickness of the keyboard must be greater than a certain thickness, thereby creating another obstacle preventing the body of the portable terminal from being thin.
[0011] In addition, conventional folder-type portable terminals have no way to keep the folder in a stable position when the folder is attached to the main body, which may cause damage to the hinge
