Abstract
A single-shaft semi-automatic hinge, wherein a first cam and a second cam fitted on the single shaft of the hinge passing therethrough are abutted on each other with pressure application by an elastic member, thereby generating a rotational friction torque; a region of the first cam and the second cam in which a liquid crystal portion can rotate from a state in which a main body portion and the liquid crystal portion are folded to a fully open state is set narrower than a region in which the hinge can rotate.
