Abstract
The invention provides an information processing apparatus wherein a CCD video camera incorporated therein is prevented from being damaged and can fetch an image not only from the front but also from above and from the rear of the information processing apparatus. An image pickup section in which a CCD video camera is accommodated is supported at the opposite end portions thereof for turning motion on a display section so that the CCD video camera can be pivoted so as to be directed forwardly, upwardly and rearwardly. A recess is formed in a body to allow turning motion of the video camera when the display section is pivotally closed on the body.
