In addition, in described first display unit 1, be provided with the antenna 7 of communication usefulness and the loudspeaker 8 of obedient usefulness etc., in described second display unit 2, be provided with the microphone 9 that send words usefulness etc.
Described coupling mechanism 3 mainly has the first coupling components 4A at the back side (face of Z2 side) of supporting described first display unit 1, the second coupling components 4B at the back side (face of Z2 side) that supports described second display unit 2 and the middle coupling components 5 that connects the described first coupling components 4A and the second coupling components 4B.In addition, because the first coupling components 4A is identical with the second coupling components 4B structure, therefore below only otherwise mention especially, just both are described with coupling components 4.
As shown in figures 1 and 3, described coupling components 4 have base portion 4a and from described base portion 4a roughly to Y direction outstanding abreast two wrist 4b, 4b.Front end at described wrist 4b, 4b has formed to illustrating through hole 4c, the 4c that X1 and X2 direction connect.
As shown in Figure 3, be provided with to the outstanding rotation axis 4d of diagram Z1 direction at the bottom surface of the base portion 4a of described coupling components 4 (face of diagram Z1 side) 4a1.Described rotation axis 4d has at the narrow width part 4d1 that forms trunk near the middle body of described bottom surface 4a1 with little fabric width size, with be positioned at its front end and the expansion section 4d2 bigger than the diameter dimension of described narrow width part 4d1, and described narrow width part 4d1 and expansion section 4d2 form as one.In Fig. 3, the face that forms described narrow width part 4d1 is parallel to the YZ plane that is formed by Y-axis and Z axle.
On the other hand, formed retaining hole 1b at the back side of the housing 1A of described first display unit 1 (face of diagram Z2 side), this retaining hole 1b comprises that the rotation that the hole by sub-circular constitutes allows the 1b1 of portion and allow the 1b2 of slotted hole portion that the 1b1 of portion extends continuously to diagram X2 direction from described rotation.In addition, the width dimensions of the described slotted hole 1b2 of portion forms bigger a little than the fabric width size of the narrow width part 4d1 of described rotation axis 4d.
Similarly, also formed by described rotation and allowed the retaining hole 2b that 2b1 of portion and the described slotted hole 2b2 of portion constitute at the back side of the housing 2A of described second display unit 2 (face of diagram Z2 side).
In Fig. 3, a part and the described Y-axis of diagram X1 side that is formed at the expansion section 4d2 of the rotation axis 4d on the described first coupling components 4A forms abreast.In addition, in first display unit 1, described rotation allows that a part and the described Y-axis of the diagram X2 side of the 1b1 of portion form abreast.Thus, by make the described first coupling components 4A or first display unit 1 moving axis 4d (around the Z axle) the Rotate 180 degree that rotates from state shown in Figure 3, can make the described expansion section 4d2 of the described first coupling components 4A side and the rotation of described first display unit 1 allow the 1b1 of portion location.Then, allow that to the rotation of described first display unit, 1 side the 1b1 of portion inserts described expansion section 4d2, described first coupling components 4A and described first display unit 1 can be linked up by position from described location.And after connection, the relative position of the first coupling components 4A and described first display unit 1 is staggered as if rotating around described rotation axis 4d, described first display unit 1 can not be separated each other with the first coupling components 4A.
In addition, turn 90 degrees if both relative position revolved from the position of described location, then described narrow width part 4d1 will enter in the described slotted hole 1b2 of portion, thereby can move to diagram Y2 direction in the described slotted hole 1b2 of portion.
In addition, also has above-mentioned relation between second display unit 2 and the second coupling components 4B.
In addition, constitute such relation between described coupling spindle 6 and the described rotation axis 4d, that is: comprise plane (the bottom surface 4a1 of described coupling components 4) and rotation axis 4d vertical (with reference to figure 4, Fig. 5 etc.) as another as the coupling spindle 6 of an axle.
If as shown in Figure 4, with described each coupling spindle 6,6 is that the center curvature first coupling components 4A and the second coupling components 4B become almost perpendicular to coupling components 5 in the middle of described, the second display part 2a that then is set at the first display part 1a of described first display unit 1 and described second display unit 2 near and relative first form (relative status).In this first form, owing to described electronic equipment A can be folded up compactly, so movability is good, is easy to carry.
Then, if it is such shown in Fig. 5 A, B, with described each coupling spindle 6,6 be the described first coupling components 4A of center curvature and the second coupling components 4B become almost be parallel to described in the middle of coupling components 5, be unfolded the first display part 1a and the second display part 2a second form (deployed condition) thereby then be set at described first display unit 1 and described second display unit 2 towards equidirectional (Z1 direction).In the case, because described first display unit 1 and described second display unit 2 are formed in the structure of opening side by side on the above-below direction (Y direction) basically, so, the same with the situation of traditional Foldable cell phone, only use singlehandedly just can easily transform to described second form (with reference to figure 2, Fig. 6 B) from described first form (with reference to figure 4).
In described second form, the loudspeaker 8 that is arranged on the obedient usefulness on first display unit 1 can separate with the microphone 9 that send words usefulness on being arranged on second display unit 2, therefore described electronic equipment A can be used as mobile phone.
When described electronic equipment A is used as mobile phone, display text information or image etc. on the first display part 1a that in described first display unit 1, is provided with, the arrangement of display digit key, Roman character or kana text etc. on the second display part 2a that in described second display unit 2, is provided with.When the operator operated the part of the last demonstration of the described second display part 2a, described transparent touch pad detecting operation person's operation information also was shown on the first display part 1a.Thus, can use the described second display part 2a to come input data information in electronic equipment A.
In addition, if from described second form shown in Fig. 5 A, the B, allow that to be positioned at described rotation described rotation axis 4d, the 4d of the 1b1 of portion, 2b1 are that the center roughly revolves described first display unit 1 and the approximating direction of described second display unit, 2 twocoueses to turn 90 degrees, then shown in Fig. 6 A, B, can set parallel with described second display unit 2 described first display unit 1.
At this moment, in each rotation axis 4d of first coupling components 4A that supports described first display unit 1 and the first coupling components 4B that supports described second display unit 2, described narrow width part 4d1 allows in the rotation of described retaining hole 1b that the inside of the 1b1 of portion is revolved relatively and turn 90 degrees, thereby consistent with the direction that the 1b2 of slotted hole portion extends along the direction on the surface of narrow width part 4d1.Thus, described narrow width part 4d1 is entered among the 1b2 of slotted hole portion.

As mentioned above, present embodiment can remain at the picture with first display part 103 under the state that aspect ratio is 3 to 2 lengthwise, guarantees the function as mobile phone.
[changing] to the connection that TV, network are used
When state, when wanting to use with receiver, under with the state of hand insertion in, keyswitch shown in Figure 9 112 is carried out pressing operation with 118 as television receiver, network from using like that as mentioned above as mobile phone.
Thus, signal from the electrostatic capacitance sensor 117 that perceives staff, be imported in the lock release handling part 123 of control device shown in Figure 14 123 with signal from keyswitch 112, thereby lock release handling part 123 carries out for example all first～the 4th latch mechanism outputs being removed the command signal of locking according to these two kinds of signals.
In response to this, the locking of first latch mechanism that is made of element 106a, 106b shown in Figure 9 is disengaged, and the locking of the 3rd latch mechanism that is made of element 119a, 119b, and the locking of the 4th latch mechanism that is made of element 121a, 121b also all is disengaged.By these, first housing 101, second housing 102 can rotate each other mutually, and the first fender 107a, the second fender 107b also can rotate simultaneously.
At this moment, at first,, perhaps utilize the deadweight of the first fender 107a that the first fender 107a is rotated downwards, thereby be engaged on the holding section 101c of first housing 101 for example by the manual operation first fender 107a.Similarly, also make the second fender 107b by manual operation or come automatically to rotate downwards, thereby be engaged on the holding section 102c of second housing 102.By these operations, the ora terminalis of first display part 103 consistent and be exposed to the outside with the ora terminalis of second display part 110 of the long limit 102b unanimity of the regulation of second housing 102 with the long limit 101b of the regulation of first housing 101.
Then, by manual operation, for example if the words that first housing 101 is rotated counterclockwise from state shown in Figure 9, as shown in figure 13, the ora terminalis of first display part 103, promptly the long limit 101b of the regulation of first housing 101 is with the ora terminalis of second display part 110, promptly the long limit 102b of the regulation of second housing 102 contacts, element 108a, the 108b of second latch mechanism engaging then, thus first housing 101 and second housing 102 are locked by second latch mechanism.
And as mentioned above, detect second latch mechanism by second sensor 113 and carried out locking operation.The second picture handling part 123b shown in Figure 14 is according to the signal from these second sensor, 113 outputs, carries out second display part 110 of first display part 103 of first housing 101 and second housing 102 is made as the processing of liquid crystal panel.By these processing, can form the picture that relatively large TV is used or network is used that has made up first display part 103 and second display part 110.
Under this state, by operating TV shown in Figure 13, network with operating portion 5, can be on the liquid crystal panel that combination first display part 103 and second display part 110 form demonstration and TV signal or signal corresponding dynamic image, the still image sent here by network.
As mentioned above, present embodiment can to remain aspect ratio be under 3 to 4 the state of growing crosswise making up picture that first display part 103 and second display part 110 form, guarantees as TV with receiver, the network function with receiver.
[the connection change of using to mobile phone once more]
On the contrary, when state, when wanting to use, under with the state of hand insertion in, keyswitch shown in Figure 9 112 is carried out pressing operation with 118 as mobile phone from using with receiver with, network like that as mentioned above as TV.
Thus, signal from the electrostatic capacitance sensor 117 that perceives staff, be imported in the lock release handling part 123 of control device 123c shown in Figure 14 with signal from keyswitch 112, thereby lock release handling part 123c carries out for example all first～the 4th latch mechanism outputs being removed the processing of the command signal of locking according to these two kinds of signals.
In response to this, the locking of second latch mechanism that is made of element 108a, 108b shown in Figure 13 is disengaged, and thus, first housing 101, second housing 102 can rotate each other mutually.
Here, by manual operation, for example if the words that first housing 101 is clockwise rotated from state shown in Figure 13, as shown in Figure 9, the minor face 101a of the regulation of first display part 103 contacts with the minor face 102a of the regulation of second housing 102, element 106a, the 106b of first latch mechanism engaging then, thus first housing 101 and second housing 102 are locked by first latch mechanism.
Then; if by the words of manual operation with the first fender 107a, the second fender 107b rotation that makes progress as shown in figure 10; each first fender 107a, the second fender 107b be under the state of the horizontal expansion of first housing 101, perhaps in the 3rd latch mechanism that is constituted by element 119a, 119b under the state of the horizontal expansion of second housing 102, the 4th latch mechanism locking that element 121a, 121b constitute.
Thus, integral body is elongate shape, and can be used as mobile phone like that as mentioned above and use.
According to the present embodiment that as above constitutes, because as the mobile phone time spent, first display part 103 of first housing 101 is made as liquid crystal panel, second display part 110 of second housing 102 is made as input part, is the lcd touch plate, and as TV, network time spent, first display part 103 and second display part 110 are combined as a large-scale liquid crystal panel, be not used to the unnecessary zone that picture shows so can not produce.And can guarantee to be suitable for the picture of the lengthwise that mobile phone uses, promptly be the picture that constitutes of 3 to 2 first display part 103 by aspect ratio and be suitable for the picture of growing crosswise that TV, network use, promptly be 3 to 4 first display part 103 and the picture that constitutes of second display part 110 by aspect ratio.That is to say,, can easily guarantee to have two kinds of different pictures of the aspect ratio of expectation by first housing 101 and second housing 102 rotating operation to each other.
In addition, because under the state that a plurality of distributions is accommodated in first rotation section 114, first housing 101 and second housing 102 are relatively rotated in same plane, so can be under the situation of the electrical connection that keeps first housing, 101 sides and second housing, 102 sides well, change the connection form between these first housings 101 and second housing 102, thereby can realize stable structure.In addition, because first display part 103 of first housing 101 and second display part 110 of second housing 102 are formed and can be configured in the same plane, so using from mobile phone when TV, network connect form with change, perhaps when using the connection change of using to mobile phone from TV, network, can under the situation of always observing first display part 103, second display, 110 both sides, change connection, thereby carry out this connection alter operation easily.
In addition, when using as mobile phone, form by operation input part second housing 102 second display part 110 picture, be the lcd touch plate, can guarantee the call function expected, simultaneously owing to the whole face of second display part 110 can be set at input part, thereby the zone that can guarantee bigger input part, thereby can give remarkable operating function.That is, help the mobile phone of realizing that precision is higher.
