Abstract
A PC includes a main body housing and lid. The main body housing has an input unit on the upper surface, and the lid pivotally attached to the back portion via a hinge. The lid has a liquid crystal display on the inner surface, and an antenna disposed above the display to communicate with a peripheral device. The PC has a detector made up of a push type switch and projection for detecting the open/closed state of the lid. The CPU of the PC detects the open/closed state of the lid by a detection signal from the detector, and controls shift of the peripheral device between a normal mode and a power saving mode.
