Abstract
A data processor composed of: a main body including a CPU, a keyboard provided at the top of the main body, a pair of sliding rails provided at both sides of the keyboard, a pair of sliders each for sliding on one of the sliding rails, a lid pivotably connected to the sliders and a display panel attached on one face of the lid. When the data processor is not used, the sliders are moved to the rear end, and the lid is tilted down, whereby the keyboard is covered by the lid. When the keyboard is used, the lid is raised up with the sliders at the rear end. After the keyboard operation is finished, the sliders are (and the lid is) moved to the front end. When the lid is tilted down with the sliders at the front end, the data processor becomes compact and the display panel can be seen from the outside. Since the keyboard is covered by the lid, the keys are secured from mistouches, and the operator can see the display without bending low.
