Abstract

A portable information apparatus is capable of ensuring communication quality of an antenna device while avoiding issues of a reduction in appearance quality, an increase in cost and so forth. The portable communication apparatus is configured that a main body chassis and a display chassis are coupled together via a hinge device to be openable/closable. The hinge device includes a hinge chassis having a sectional shape whose longitudinal direction extends along a direction that the respective chassis mutually overlap in a state of overlappingly closing the respective chassis and hinge shafts which respectively couple together one of the chassis and the hinge chassis and together the other of the chassis and the hinge chassis to be rotatable. An antenna device having an antenna element is housed and fixed in the hinge chassis and the antenna element is disposed in a posture of being inclined relative to a longitudinal direction of the sectional shape of the hinge chassis.
