Abstract
An electronic apparatus includes a rectangular-parallelepiped first casing, a rectangular-parallelepiped second casing, and a first connecting apparatus. The first connecting apparatus connects the first casing and the second casing such that the first casing and the second casing are capable of being rotated relatively in one of a first rotation direction and a second rotation direction orthogonal to each other between a first state and a second state. The first state is a state where a first main surface of the first casing comes to be faced with a third main surface of the second casing. The second state is a state where a second main surface of the first casing comes to be faced with a fourth main surface of the second casing.
