According to an aspect, a device includes: a display unit for displaying a screen; a sensor for detecting an inclination of the display unit; an operating unit for detecting an operation; and a controller. The controller changes an orientation of the screen depending upon the inclination detected through the sensor and the operation detected through the operation unit.

Device, method and storage medium storing program for controlling screen orientation

A compact hinge device is provided with which it is possible to turn two members and it is possible to make one of the members incline with respect to the other member. By a turning shaft part turning in a through hole in a first base member, a second base member constructed to turn together with the turning shaft part can be turned, and by an abutting part provided on the second base member sliding on a cam surface provided on the first base member the second base member can be made to incline with respect to the turning shaft part.

Hinge device

A portable terminal has one casing with a display unit and a speaker coupled to another casing with an operation unit and a microphone. The casings connect via a coupling unit and are capable of opening or closing by means of the coupling unit. The face of the casing with the speaker is directed in the same direction as the face of the casing with the microphone. The coupling unit enables one casing to be inclined to the other casing and to rotate around an axis substantially perpendicular to the face of the other casing with a microphone. Opening the casings increases the sound collecting rate of the microphone during a phone call and prevents a top face of the operation unit from being rubbed or scratched by the other.

Portable terminal and opening or closing method therefor

An insulating adhesive tape which comprises a base supporting film and an adhesive layer formed on at least one surface thereof, said adhesive layer being formed of a thermoplastic polymer comprising a thermoplastic polyimide, wherein said thermoplastic polymer has a glass transition temperature ranging from 180.degree. C. to 280.degree. C. and an elastic modulus ranging from 10.sup.10 dyne/cm.sup.2 to 10.sup.11 dyne/cm.sup.2 at 25.degree. C., said modulus including a value ranging from 10.sup.2 dyne/cm.sup.2 to 10.sup.9 dyne/cm.sup.2 at a temperature between 250.degree. C. and 300.degree. C.
