Portable telephone

A portable telephone comprising:

• a telephone body having a base plate part which is located below a pivot part, capable of putting a palm on and a cover support part which is located above the pivot part, opening and closing to the base plate part;
• an input operation part provided at the base plate part;
• a liquid crystal display part which is pivoted on an inner wall of the cover support part, provided a lengthwise display screen as a normal position and a longwise display screen when the liquid crystal display part is rotated at approximately 90 degrees via a pivotable shaft;
• a necessary circuit for the telephone;
• characterized in that the longwise display screen indicates information is indicated via a detection circuit for rotation direction of the liquid crystal display;
• a CPU which receives a detected signal detected by the detection circuit;
• and a drive circuit which receives a control signal from th CPU and which drives information elements to the liquid crystal display so as to indicate an informational position and display setup correctly corresponding to the display screen as a wide state.

A portable telephone with an input operation part located at a lower part thereof and a lengthwise liquid crystal display part located at an upper part is thereof through a pivot part, capable of opening and closing, comprising:

• one of the input operation part which is provided rotatably in the base plate part of a telephone body through a pivotable shaft and the telephone body which is provided rotatably to the input operation part;
• the lengthwise liquid crystal display part with a display screen, capable of seeing as a longwise display screen when the liquid crystal display part is rotated at approximately 90 degrees via a pivotable shaft;
• and
• characterized in that the longwise display screen indicates information is indicated via a detection circuit for rotation direction of the liquid crystal display;
• a CPU which receives a detected signal detected by the detection circuit;
• and a drive circuit which receives a control signal from th CPU and which drives information elements to the liquid crystal display so as to indicate an informational position and display setup correctly corresponding to the display screen as a wide state.

A portable telephone with an input operation part located at a lower part thereof and a lengthwise liquid crystal display part located at an upper part thereof, comprising:

• the liquid crystal display part which pivots at one end portion of a support member which is supported pivotably by a base plate part of a telephone body;
• a display screen of the liquid crystal display part, capable of seeing as a longwise display screen when the liquid crystal display part rotates to a horizontal direction at approximately 90 degrees via a pivotable shaft;
• and
• an information indicated visibly on the longwise display screen which is indicated via a detection circuit for rotation direction of the liquid crystal display;
• a CPU which receives a detected signal detected by the detection circuit;
• and a drive circuit which receives a control signal from th CPU and which drives information elements to the liquid crystal display so as to indicate an informational position and display setup correctly corresponding to the display screen as a wide state.
