Patent ID: 8515504

Claim:
A portable terminal comprising: a first enclosure having a display unit, a second enclosure having an operation unit, a first connection unit foldably connecting the first enclosure to the second enclosure by being rotated around a first center axis, and a second connection unit connecting the first enclosure to the second enclosure and allowing the first enclosure to be rotated between a first position and a second position and around a second axis perpendicular to the first center axis, the second axis located in a position shifted by a predetermined amount from a line that is parallel to the second axis and is formed by uniting center points of first and second sides of the first enclosure that are perpendicular to the second axis and the line, wherein the first enclosure almost overlaps the second enclosure when the first enclosure and the second enclosure are folded via the first connection unit in a state where the first enclosure is rotated to the first position in the second connection unit, the first enclosure overlaps and is displaced from the second enclosure corresponding to the second center axis shifted by a predetermined amount when the first enclosure and the second enclosure are folded via the first connection unit in a state where the first enclosure is rotated to the second position in the second connection unit, the first enclosure and the second enclosure have side surfaces inclined at a predetermined angle that is non-parallel and non-perpendicular with respect to planar top and bottom surfaces of the first enclosure and the second enclosure, and the inclined side surfaces of the enclosures are located almost coplanar with each other when the first enclosure and the second enclosure are folded via the first connection unit in a state where the first enclosure is rotated to the first position in the second connection unit.
