An apparatus opening and closing mechanism includes: a slide mechanism by which a first casing and a second casing are slidably connected to each other and which effects transition of position state of the first casing and the second casing between a closed state and an open state; and a hinge mechanism by which the first casing and the second casing are rotatably connected to each other. The slide mechanism includes: a first holder fixed to the first casing; a second holder which is fixed to the second casing and by which the first slider is supported so as to be movable in the sliding direction; and an elastic member which has one end fixed to the first holder and the other end fixed to the second holder and which extends and contracts according to movement of the first casing and the second casing at the time of sliding.
