Abstract
In an electronic apparatus, a display at least partially has flexibility, includes a plurality of display portions, and includes a bending portion at each of boundaries of the display portions. An electronic apparatus includes, near each bending portion, a hinge portion that relatively rotatably couples two display portions and is configured to be bendable at each bending portion as a start point in response to rotation of each hinge portion. A main body coupling member rotatably couples the display to the main body portion. The display is able to transition to an accommodated state in which the display overlaps at a position that is different from the grip portion inside an outer shape of the main body portion and an unfolded state in which the plurality of display portions are unfolded in a parallel and same direction.
