Abstract
A portable terminal includes: a body having a display device provided on the front face thereof; a support plate pivotably installed on the rear face of the body, a receiving recess formed on the rear face of the body adapted to receive the support plate; and wherein the support plate can pivot from the position of being received in the receiving recess, to articulate to a position protruding from the rear face of the body. By being provided with the support plate capable of cradling the body slantingly, the portable terminal makes it needless to carry a separate cover or case for providing a cradle function, which can contribute to maintaining the miniaturized and slimmed appearance of the terminal that is easy to carry.
