  The structure of the hinge part 13 will be described later. The hinge part 13 has a function of opening the second half part 12 to the position of about 145 degrees in the A1 direction with respect to the first half part 11 with a spring force, and further to 180 degrees by applying force. It has a function that can be opened and a function that temporarily fixes any angular position between 145 and 180 degrees.

  Here, the reason why the mobile phone 10 does not open up to 180 degrees but stays at about 145 degrees is that if the mobile phone 10 is opened up to 180 degrees at a stretch on the palm, it is difficult to hold by the hand and is unstable. However, if the opening angle stays at about 145 degrees, the holding by the hand becomes stable, and the risk of accidentally dropping the mobile phone 10 is reduced. At the same time, it can be held without a sense of incongruity, and in particular, there is no problem in the operation of the telephone function key 20. When the force is applied, it opens up to 180 degrees. When a force is applied to the mobile phone 10 placed on the table in the state of opening at a position of 145 degrees, it opens up to 180 degrees. This is to prevent the hinge portion 13 from being damaged. The reason for locking at any angular position between 145 degrees and 180 degrees is to enable fixing at a convenient position when used as an electronic notebook.

  In addition, a jack 90 or an operating pen housing 91 (see FIG. 12) is provided on the lower side of the hinge 13. When the jack 90 is provided, a power plug 92 is inserted as necessary when the mobile phone 10 is used.
