Portable electronic device and imaging system
First Claim
1. A portable electronic device comprising:
- a display which displays an image;
an imaging part supported for forward and reverse rotation so as to be able to take pictures of images, which can be displayed on said display, from a front side to a rear side of said display; and
an optical rotational position detection part which optically detects a rotational position of said imaging part when rotated.

Abstract
A portable electronic device is less subject to aging, and it is easy to obtain assembly accuracy even if there are variations in individual components. The portable electronic device in the form of a mobile phone (100) includes a display (11) for displaying an image, and a camera (20) supported by a bearing (31) and a hinge module (32) for forward and reverse rotation so as to be able to take pictures of images, which can be displayed on the display, from a front side to a rear side of the display. A reflector (34) is rotated in accordance with the rotation of the camera and has a plurality of areas “A”, “B”, “C” of different reflection factors arranged along its circumferential direction. For determination of a control mode, a reflective photosensor (44) optically detects the rotational position of the camera by projecting a beam of light toward the reflector and by receiving the light reflected from the reflector.
