Abstract
A terminal unit includes a body unit and a display panel unit which is attached to the body unit in a manner in which an inclination angle of the display unit can be changed. The display panel unit has a shaft. The body unit has a shaft supporting portion which has a cut-out having an entrance portion. The shaft is caused to pass through the entrance portion of the cut-out of the shaft supporting portion and is fitted into a depth portion of the cut-out, the display panel unit thus being attached to the body unit. The direction in which force is applied to the shaft when the display panel unit is operated is different from the center line of the cut-out by a predetermined angle.
