Abstract: Selon la divulgation, ces appareils portatifs de communications mobiles ont une position fermée, dans laquelle l'élément d'affichage de l'appareil couvre au moins une partie des touches sur l'élément de clavier de l'appareil, et une position ouverte, dans laquelle les touches sont accessibles et l'appareil est utilisé. Lorsque l'élément d'affichage est dans la position ouverte, il forme un angle ergonomique souhaitable (p. ex. de l'ordre d'environ 155) par rapport à l'élément de clavier. Cependant, contrairement aux téléphones cellulaires de type à double coque, l'élément d'affichage ne s'ouvre pas simplement par basculement sur une articulation classique. Plutôt, il se déplace de la position fermée, où il est parallèle et adjacent à l'élément de clavier, à la position ouverte inclinée par un mouvement de glissement/balayage; grâce à un mouvement de rotation excentré « vers le haut et d'inversion »; ou par une combinaison de mouvements de glissement et « vers le haut et d'inversion ».
