Abstract
An electrophoretic display is mounted on the surface of the housing of a notebook type personal computer. When an event that requires the user to operate a member occurs, the member and operation information corresponding to that event are searched for, and the searched-for operation information is displayed in a region of the electrophoretic display in the vicinity of the searched-for member. For example, when a termination switch is in a corner of the exterior surface of the cover, for a system termination event, information indicating that the termination switch should be operated is displayed in a region of the electrophoretic display in the vicinity of the termination switch.
