Abstract
The information processing apparatus of the invention includes: a display section having a display screen on one surface thereof; a main unit that supports the display section so that the display section can open and close with the one surface arranged inside, and, when opened, serves as a base to erect the display section; and an input section that is physically detachably coupled to the main unit so as to be flush with the main unit. The input section has operating members for inputting information arrayed on a top surface thereof. The length of the sum of the input section and the main unit in a direction of the depth thereof when coupled is substantially same as the length of the display section in the same direction when closed.
Claims8
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a display section having a display screen on one surface thereof;
- a main unit that supports the display section so that the display section is capable of opening and closing with the one surface arranged inside, and, when opened, serves as a base to erect the display section, and that includes an upper surface which faces the one surface of the display section when the display section is closed;
- a supporting member whose one end supports a back surface of the display section at a middle portion of the back surface, the back surface being opposite to the one surface of the display screen so that the display section is capable of rotating, and whose other end is rotatably supported by the main unit;
- and
- an input section that is operably coupled to the main unit and physically detachable frontward from the main unit, and has operating members for inputting information arrayed on a top surface thereof, wherein a total length, in a depth direction of the input section and the main unit, of a length of the input section and a length of the main unit in a connected state is substantially equal to a length of the display section in a depth direction of the display section when the display section is closed, and the top surface of the input section on which the operating members are arrayed is a surface that is flush with the upper surface of the main unit when the input section is attached to the main unit,
- wherein the display section has a back surface that is opposite to the one surface, is shaped like a tray with a raised edge entirely along the periphery thereof and has no electronic component arranged thereon, and
- wherein the main unit supports, via the supporting member, the display section so that the display section is capable of opening and closing.
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a display section having a display screen on one surface thereof;
- a main unit having a supporting member whose one end supports a back surface at a middle portion thereof, the back surface being opposite to the one surface of the display section so that the display section is capable of rotating, and whose other end is rotatably supported by the main unit, thereby the main unit supporting via the supporting member the display section so that the display section is capable of opening and closing and, when opened, serving as a base to erect the display section, and that includes an upper surface which faces the one surface of the display section when the display section is closed;
- and
- an input section that is operably coupled to the main unit and physically detachable frontward from the main unit, and has operating members for inputting information arrayed on a top surface thereof, wherein a total length, in a depth direction of the input section and the main unit, of a length of the input section and a length of the main unit in a connected state is substantially equal to a length of the display section in a depth direction of the display section when the display section is closed, and the top surface of the input section on which the operating members are arrayed is a surface that is flush with the upper surface of the main unit when the input section is attached to the main unit,
- wherein the display section has a back surface that is opposite to the one surface, is shaped like a tray with a raised edge entirely along the periphery thereof and has no electronic component arranged thereon.
