    摘要: A portable terminal having a hinge apparatus is provided. The portable terminal includes a first housing, a second housing pivotally coupled to the first housing so that the second housing can be unfolded from and folded onto the first housing, and a hinge apparatus coupling the first housing and the second housing together. The hinge apparatus provides a first hinge axis and a second hinge axis perpendicular to each other, in which, from the folded state in which the second housing is folded on the first housing, the second housing is operable to rotate about the first hinge axis to be located in an upper side of the first housing and to rotate about the second hinge axis to be located in a first side of the first housing. Also, the hinge apparatus allows the second housing to rotate about the first hinge axis to be unfolded at an angle of approximately 90° with respect to the first housing and then rotate about the second hinge axis so that an inner face of the second housing is oriented in a same direction in which a first side of the portable terminal faces. Therefore, the hinge apparatus provides a portable terminal that is convenient to use not only communication functions, but also multimedia services such as watching broadcastings.

    摘要: A portable communication apparatus adapted to be extendedly rotated in multiple stages and a method thereof. The apparatus and method comprise a first housing extending along a longitudinal direction; a second housing connected to the first housing by a dual hinge device and adapted to be rotated in multi-stages toward or away from the first housing about first and second hinge axes in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction; a dual hinge device which rotatably connects the first and second housing to each other, provides the first and second hinge axes, and is adapted to rotate the second housing about the first hinge axis, as well as to rotate the second housing about the second hinge axis in such a manner that the second housing extends along the longitudinal direction of the second housing when a button unit, which is exposed to the exterior of the first housing, is pressed; and a hinge locking module positioned in the first housing and the dual hinge device to extendedly rotate or hold the second housing as the button unit is pressed.
