Electronic device having switch operated by rotatable display

摘要

An electronic device comprises a body having a raised portion. Switching means are mounted inside of the raised portion. The switching means perform a function and are provided within the raised portion such that the function is performed by moving the display between opened and closed positions. The switching means may include a switch for performing a function and a detecting member for operating the switch. The detecting member is movable between an extended position projecting from the raised portion and a retracted position within the raised portion. The electronic device further comprises a display rotatable between an opened position and a closed position. The switching means are arranged within the raised portion such that when the display is rotated between the opened position and the closed position, the detecting member moves between the extended and retracted positions, thus deactivating and activating the switch.
