Patent attributes
A portable information device includes a first chassis, a second chassis adjacent to the first chassis and connected so as to be pivotable relative to the first chassis, and a stand device. The stand device includes a first and a second stand plate, which are provided on back faces of the first and the second chassis and movable between a housing position along the back face and an upright position in which the first and second stand plates protrudes from the back faces. The first stand plate and the second stand plate are switchable between a separated state, in which their adjacent ends are spaced apart from each other so as to be configured separately, and a connected state, in which their adjacent ends are connected to each other so as to move together between the housing position and the upright position.
