1. A sliding portable apparatus in which an upper housing and a lower housing overlap each other when in an overlapped state, and overlapping faces of the upper housing and the lower housing, respectively, are gradually exposed when the upper housing and the lower housing are slid from each other from the overlapped state in a sliding direction using sliding rails arranged in parallel, the sliding portable apparatus further comprising:
- an operating portion having keys provided on the overlapping face of the lower housing and which is exposed when the upper housing and the lower housing are slid from each other;

Abstract
A sliding portable telephone in which a second display section is provided on a surface exposed when an upper housing is slid, enabling self-shooting by a built-in camera. Further, in the telephone, a mechanism for stopping the upper housing before a fully opened position is provided so that, when a fingerprint sensor is built-in in an end section of a lower housing, fingerprint authentication is enabled without fully opening the telephone. Also, a recess is formed between sliding surfaces of the upper and lower housings, a flexible circuit board is received in the recess, the flexible circuit board is inserted and led through a slit that is provided only in one end surface of the recess, the insertion section is sealed, and as a result, there is no problem even if water droplets are splashed on the sliding portable telephone in an extended state.
