A NOTEBOOK TYPE INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS HAVING INPUT FUNCTION WITH PEN

摘要

A notebook type information processing apparatus allows easy manipulation and reduces operator fatigue. The apparatus has a display and an apparatus body. The display has a screen on one side for displaying data and a support supporting the screen rotatably. A first connector is provided on the bottom of the support and is connectable to the apparatus body mechanically and electrically. A latch is rotatable 180 degrees for locking the display to the apparatus body in either a normal position or a position turned over in the front-and-rear direction. The apparatus body has a groove engageable with the support and located at the rear of a keyboard used to enter data and commands. A second connector is positioned in the groove and connectable to the first connector mechanically and electrically. A pair of rotatable levers is engageable with opposite ends of the support for locking the display. A control section is provided for generating control signals meant for the screen. A position detecting circuit determines electrically whether the display is mounted in the normal position or not. A selector circuit selectively outputs the control signals from the control section on the basis of the output of the detecting circuit.
