Abstract
A mobile terminal device includes a first case including a display section, a second case including a keyboard, and a slide holding mechanism which, when the first case slides with respect to the second case in the opening direction from a closed state wherein the first case is substantially fully superimposed on the second case, partially exposes the keyboard and brings the cases into an open state wherein the first case inclines with respect to the second case. The mechanism includes a slide pin including guide shaft insertion holes, a guide shaft inserted in the holes, a biasing member having one end connected to the slide pin and the other end connected to the second case, an arm member having one end connected to the slide pin and the other end connected to the first case, and a guide plate provided to the second case and including a guide hole.
