A portable electronic apparatus (1) can instruct an EL-displaying portion (12) to perform clock display while realizing power saving promotion therefor. Thus, the portable electronic apparatus (1) can be given an added value without impairing any of main functions thereof. Also, even when the EL-displaying portion (12) is in an OFF state, picture display is returned back to the clock display by manually operating corresponding one of switches, and is returned back to an operation picture for AUDIO or the like by manually operating corresponding another one of the switches. Hence, no complicated operation is required for the portable electronic apparatus (1).
