Abstract
An image transmitting element connecting a display device accommodated in a display casing and an image output element accommodated in a main body casing with each other are composed of a sheet-shaped flexible cable having a wiring pattern. The image transmitting element is partly wound in a spiral between a fixing portion on the display casing side and a fixing portion on the main body casing side. The rotational axis of a hinge unit is disposed in the vicinity of the rear end of the main body casing. Owing to this construction, the motion of the image transmitting element which occurs due to the pivotal motion of the display casing is limited to a small space in which the wound portion of the image transmitting element is disposed whereby the image transmitting element is accommodated in the small space.
