Abstract
The mobile terminal includes the rotary housing and the rotation support mechanism for supporting the rotary housing so as to rotate between the vertical position and the horizontal position. The rotation support mechanism includes a guide plate. A first slide pin and a second slide pin sliding relative to the guide plate upon rotation of the rotary housing are connected to the rotary housing. A guide hole for restricting sliding of the first slide pin is formed in the guide plate. The second slide pin and a rotary shaft provided in the guide plate are connected together through a linking member.
