External light is introduced by a light-introducing portion to be used as a light source for a backlight, so that the power consumption of the backlight of a liquid crystal display device can be suppressed. At the same time, the brightness of the screen of the liquid crystal display device can be increased to enhance the visibility in outdoors. Therefore, the portability of a mobile information terminal can be improved. Furthermore, the light-introducing portion covers an end portion of the main unit opposed to an axis, whereby the main unit is protected so that the life period of the mobile information terminal can be prolonged. The variety of the design of the mobile information terminal can be increased by using the transparency of the light-introducing portion.
