Claim:
An electronic device, comprising: a housing; a stand member rotatably attached to a back surface of the housing by a spindle, the stand member having a lower surface which is inclined with respect to a line orthogonal to the front surface of the housing; and a holding member configured to hold the stand member at a first protruding position where the stand member has been rotated a first angle of approximately 90 degrees from the housing and a second protruding position where the stand member has been rotated a second angle greater than the first angle from the housing, wherein when the holding member holds the stand member at the first protruding position, the housing is placed in an upright posture by the lower surface of the stand member, the holding member includes a regulating portion configured to regulate further rotation of the stand member at angles exceeding the second angle associated with the second protruding position; and wherein an end portion of the stand member abuts on the regulating portion of the holding member and is rotated between a plate spring portion and the regulating portion of the holding member in said second protruding position, such that the end portion of said stand member presses and elastically deforms said plate spring portion of the holding member.
