Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif terminal portable de type ouvert/fermé dans lequel on peut monter une partie d'imagerie sans empêcher la réduction de taille du dispositif, et dans lequel une partie d'affichage sur laquelle une image est affichée de profil, en long, peut être vue, à la fois lorsqu'on effectue un autoportrait et lorsqu'on prend une autre personne en photo. Un premier élément de compartiment (101a) et un second élément de compartiment (101b) présentant une surface sensiblement rectangulaire sont reliés pivotant par une partie d'arbre de liaison (102). Une partie d'affichage (112) est située sur une surface principale (101c) du premier élément de compartiment (101a), la partie d'arbre de liaison (102) est dotée d'une surface principale (101d) du second élément de compartiment (101b), et sur une surface arrière (101e) du second élément de compartiment (101b) est située une partie de caméra (109b). La partie d'arbre de liaison (102) présente un axe (A) autour duquel la surface principale (101c) du premier élément de compartiment (101a) et la surface principale (101d) du second élément de compartiment (101b) tournent de manière relative, tout en étant sensiblement parallèles entre elles, et présente un axe (B) dont le centre approximatif est situé du côté court du premier élément de compartiment (101a). Lorsque le premier élément de compartiment (101a) est inversé (avant/arrière), à une position prédéterminée, l'axe (B) servant de centre, la partie d'affichage (112), lorsqu'elle est orientée dans la direction d'imagerie, affiche une image miroir dans laquelle la gauche et la droite de l'image affichée par la partie de caméra sont inversées, et affiche une image inversée, lorsque le premier élément de compartiment est inversé.
