In the above-mentioned conventional notebook type personal computer device, the liquid crystal display section 24 faces the operator when the lid type housing 25 is opened during use. In order to show the display contents of 24 to a person located on the side or facing the operator, the main body 22 must be turned toward the person or moved by the person.
Since importance is attached to portability, a liquid crystal is often used for the liquid crystal display unit 24, and this liquid crystal has a narrow visible angle, which is also a strong tendency.

Further, in the conventional notebook type personal computer device, in FIG. 4, the lid type casing 25 is once removed by the plates 26 and 27 and inverted by 180 ° to show the display contents to a person other than the operator. However, even if it is shown to the person who is facing, it is not shown to the person who is located to the side, and in this case also, there is no choice but to move the main body 22 or the person. In addition, the connection portion of the signal line for displaying the contents on the liquid crystal display unit 24 is the main body side signal line 30 on the main body 22 side, and the display unit side signal line 31 is on the lid type housing 25 side. If you want to do so, you must turn off the power once to ensure the operation of the device.
