- a main body of an apparatus;
a liquid crystal display unit supported slidably for movement between a first position where it is accommodated within said main body of the apparatus and a second where it is drawn out from said main body, and supported rotatably at a backside end thereof so as to be rotatable downward and by some amount upward with respect to said main body when in said second position where it is drawn out from said main body;
excessive rotation detecting means for generating a detection signal when said unit is rotated by some amount upward when in said second position where it is drawn out from said main body;
driving means for effecting sliding movement of said liquid crystal display unit from said second position to said first position with respect to said main body of the apparatus; and

Abstract
An apparatus has a liquid crystal display unit, which can be drawn out/accommodated by sliding with respect to a main body of the apparatus, and rotated in the state, where it is drawn out from the apparatus, in which apparatus operation is simplified by correlating switching on/off of the liquid crystal display and accommodating operation of the liquid crystal display unit with the rotation of the liquid crystal display unit.
