Patent ID: 8405605

Claim:
An electronic apparatus which operates in a plurality of operation modes, comprising: an input mechanism including: a sheet-shaped base member which has a flexibility and is arranged to spread in a plane direction; a bending detector which is disposed on a front surface of the base member and which detects an elastic bending deformation generated in the base member; and a display portion provided integrally with the sheet-shaped base member, having flexibility, and displaying an image thereon; a body which is provided separately from the input mechanism, such that the body is not physically connected to the input mechanism; a power supply device which supplies a power, the power supply device being disposed in the body; a bending deformation judging mechanism which judges whether or not a first bending deformation mode is generated in the base member based on a detection result of the bending detector; a controller which controls an operation of the electronic apparatus; and a mode changing mechanism which changes an operation mode of both the power supply device and the display portion from a normal mode to a low power mode under a condition that the bending deformation determining mechanism judges that the first bending deformation mode is generated in the base member, the normal mode being an operation mode in which the electronic apparatus operates with a power consumption, and the low power mode being an operation mode in which the electronic apparatus operates with a low power consumption lower than the power consumption; wherein the controller controls the display portion; and wherein, in the normal mode, the controller controls the display portion to display an image.
