Abstract
An electronic communication device having a touch-sensitive display panel in a display module and a keypad in a keypad module is disclosed. The two modules are connected to one another and can be moved relative to one another into an open position and a closed position. The touch-sensitive display panel is on the outside of the display module in the closed position. Guide members on both sides of the keypad of the keypad module can operatively interact with guide members associated with the display module. The keypad module has a rotatable traction member that can operatively interact with a fixed traction member of the display module. The display module is mounted on the keypad module so as to be able to slide or move. In fully slid-out position, the display module can be rotated or tilted or folded against the keypad module in a manner similar to a laptop PC.
