COMPONENT THAT ROTATES ABOUT THREE AXES, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

摘要

A second hinge member (24) is connected to a first hinge member (23) so as to be rotatable about an orthogonal axis (VX). A body housing (14) is supported at the first hinge member so as to be rotatable about a first parallel axis (FH) extending in parallel to a virtual plane orthogonal to the orthogonal axis. At the second hinge member is rotatably supported a display housing (16) so as to be rotatable about a second parallel axis (SH) extending in parallel to the virtual plane orthogonal to the orthogonal axis. When the display housing is rotated relative to the body housing by 180 degrees about the orthogonal axis, the front side of the display housing can be superposed over the rear side of the body housing. A display in the display housing is concealed. An input button is exposed at the front side of the body housing. The input button can be operated without worrying about scratches and damage on the display.
