Portable device
Abstract
A portable device of the present invention includes: a first housing having a base, a protrusion protruded from the base, and a speaker hole provided at the protrusion; a hinge section provided to the protrusion so as to be freely moved about a rotation axis; and a second housing provided to the hinge section so as to be freely rotated about a rotation axis being substantially orthogonal to the rotation axis. The hinge section includes a central part and both-ends, having a U shape. The central part is connected to the second housing. The both-ends are branched from the central part and connected to a pair of side surfaces of the protrusion, respectively. Further, the second housing has a first display section on at least one surface being substantially square to a connecting surface where the hinge section is connected. Thus, the portable device capable of preferably receiving sounds associated with displays on the display section can be provided.
