Cell phone apparatus with camera capabilities characterized in that the cell phone apparatus with camera capabilities includes a shooting section for shooting a picture, a reclosable lens cover for protecting the shooting lens of the shooting section, detecting means for detecting opening/closing of the lens cover, a memory for storing information on presetting of a plurality of modes where various features are set, and a controller for switching to a preset mode among a plurality of modes stored in the memory on detecting that the lens cover is open. This provides easy-to-use cell phone apparatus with camera capabilities in both the cell phone mode and the camera mode without causing misunderstanding or unnecessary guard on the side of others in photography shooting.

A navigation switch apparatus with simple construction is capable of operating in eight directions including longitudinal, lateral and diagonal directions. The apparatus has a printed circuit board having four conductors provided thereon with small spaces between each conductor. Together the conductors are shaped like a doughnut. A cap-shaped body arranged opposite the printed circuit board is provided with short-circuiters for making contact with the respective four conductors when a navigation lever is operated in the eight directions. Each conductor includes two opposing comb-shaped conductive layers. The central portion of one conductive layer has a diametrically directed comparatively-coarse comb shape. Both of the end portions of the other conductive layer have a circumferentially directed comparatively-fine comb shape, and the cap-shaped body has a thin-walled portion on its outer periphery. Thick-walled portions extending in the eight directions, and together forming a substantially regular octagon are formed in the vicinity of the thin-walled portion.

This invention provides a portable terminal apparatus increasing brightness at a light emitting portion of the portable terminal apparatus. Light emitted from a light source is made to be incident from an engaging portion of a conducted light emitting portion and is diffused at inside of the conducted light emitting portion. The diffused light is reflected by surfaces of a bottom face portion and side face portions and of a recessed portion, the reflected light is further diffused and emitted by a conducted light emitting member at a vicinity of a surface of the recessed portion and therefore, brightness of the conducted light emitting portion at the vicinity of the recessed portion can be increased.

Portable terminal apparatus

A flexible board attaching-connecting device includes a case assembly, formed by incorporating a flexible board in a case , and a board assembly formed by mounting a flexible board connector on a printed circuit board , and an attaching-connecting operation can be made merely by dropping the case assembly onto the board assembly from an upper side.
