FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the backside liquid crystal display method of the foldable mobile phone 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention at the time of an incoming call. FIG. 3 is an example of a rear liquid crystal display of the foldable mobile phone 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention at the time of an incoming call.

When an incoming call arrives at the foldable portable telephone 10 from the standby state (step S20), it is determined in step S21 (incoming call control processing) whether it is an incoming mail or an incoming voice.

If the mail has arrived (step S2
No. 1 "mail arrival"), and receives a mail (step S3).
1) After completion of mail reception (step S32), a process of sounding a mail ringtone and emitting a backlight (step S33) is performed, and then the LCD is activated.
The display returns to the standby screen (the screen (g) in FIG. 3) displaying that the mail has arrived on the (second LCD 19) (step S40: standby state).

If there is an incoming voice call in step S21 ("voice incoming" in step S21), step S22 (incoming call response determination processing) is executed. When an incoming call is answered to the above-mentioned voice incoming call (“Yes” in step S22), the process proceeds to a call process (step S51).

After the end of the call (step S52), step S53 (the answering machine accumulation judgment process) is executed. If a notification that the answering machine has been stored is received from the answering machine ("YES" in step S53), the LCD (the second LCD 1)
At 9), it is displayed that there is a recorded message at the answering machine center, and the screen returns to the standby screen (screen (b) in FIG. 3) (step S40: standby state).
