Information processing apparatus

一种信息处理装置，在主体和盖体上设置了由用于显示信息的显示部和上述显示部上的透明触板构成的输入部，盖体可以切换到关闭状态、重叠状态、双屏状态及反转状态中的任一状态。上述信息处理装置的控制部通过传感器等检测出盖体处于一种状态时，根据检测出的盖体状态，控制在显示部的屏幕上进行适当的显示。而且，上述控制部根据盖体的状态，适当地控制对显示部进行照明的照明部。由此，提供了根据上述信息处理装置的使用形态进行正确的显示并且易于操作、易于使用的信息处理装置。 An information processing apparatus having a main body and a lid body is configured so that the lid body can be switched between a closed state, a stacked state, a double screen state and an inverted state. Each of the main body and the lid body has a display section for displaying information and an input section composed of a transparent tablet and provided on the display section. As a sensor or the like detects the lid body in one of the four states, a control section of the information processing apparatus controls the display section so that a screen on the display section is appropriate to the detected state of the lid body. The control section also controls the lighting section for lighting the display section appropriately to the detected state of the lid body. This realizes appropriate display in accordance with usages of the information processing apparatus and offers an easy-to-operate and easy-to-use information processing apparatus. Besides, the lighting section is turned on/off according to needs, and therefore it is possible to prevent heat generation and to restrain power consumption.
