Abstract

A keyboard-detachable data processing unit which keeps a display unit stable under any condition. A link mechanism linking a system unit and a display unit comprises a guide which runs from front to back, a slider which swivels along the guide, and a swinging arm with one end on a system unit and the other end at a position between the base and the tip of the display unit, both ends capable of swiveling. The base of the display unit is on the swiveling slider, and the slider crank mechanism is composed of the display unit, slider, and swinging arm. The center of gravity G of the display unit is always within the upper area of the system unit regardless of whether the display unit is opened or closed.
