ABSTRACT:
A small or very small notebook type or palmtop type personal computer has a display device which is attached to a computer main body in an openable and closable fashion. The display device has a display panel body coupled to the computer main body in an openable and closable fashion by hinge mechanisms provided at both ends of the computer main body, and a display panel provided on the computer main body. The bottom portion of the display panel is the horizontal area between both hinge mechanisms. Therefore, the display panel is arranged within the limited space of the display panel body in such a way as to be able to avoid both hinge mechanisms even when the display panel constitutes, for example, a horizontally elongated display screen.
