Information processing apparatus having function of changing orientation of screen image

摘要

An information processing apparatus includes a housing (11) with a top surface, a keyboard (111) placed on the top surface of the housing (11), a display unit (12) with a front surface and a rear surface, supported by the housing (11) and rotated between a closed position in which the keyboard (111) is covered and an open position in which the keyboard (111) is exposed, a sensor which senses an angle formed between the front surface of the display unit (12) and the top surface of the housing (11); and a display device (13) provided in the display unit (12) to display a screen image in one of a first orientation in which a bottom-end portion of the screen image is located toward the housing (11) and a second orientation in which a top-end portion of the screen image is located toward the housing (11) in accordance with the angle sensed by the sensor.
