Portable terminal having an hinge device

摘要

A portable terminal has a first side hinge ann positioned on a side of one of its housings and a second side hinge arm positioned on the other side of the other housing. A hinge device rotatably couples the housings and generates a rotational force to fold or unfold them. The hinge device makes the assembly process easy and contributes to diversification of terminal design. One of the housings can reverse its front and rear surfaces when unfolded, due to a dual hinge construction, for more convenient use of the portable terminal having a camera device.
