Abstract: The invention provides an information processing apparatus wherein a camera section has an improved performance and malfunction involved in use of the camera section can be prevented. The information processing apparatus includes a computer body having a keyboard on which a plurality of operation keys are provided. A display section having a display screen thereon is supported on the computer body for pivotal motion around a fixed axis between a covering position in which the display section covers the computer body and an uncovering position in which the display section does not cover the computer body and for pivotal motion around a second axis extending perpendicularly to the first axis. Further, a camera section is supported for pivotal motion on the computer body.

Abstract: A semiconductor device of the present invention is a semiconductor device of a complementary MIS field effect transistor, wherein an anode of a first diode is connected to a silicon substrate of a first conduction type while a cathode of the first diode is connected to a first power supply while a cathode of a second diode is connected to a well of the other conduction type and an anode of the second diode is connected to a second power supply.
