wherein

in the first posture, the bending region of the display having a bag-shaped bending shape in cross section that protrudes from the end faces of the first plate and the second plate disposed to overlap each other,

the electronic apparatus further includes:

a first inclined face protruding from the end face of the first plate to be inclined gradually downward from the surface of the first plate in the protruding direction; and

a second inclined face protruding from the end face of the second plate to be inclined gradually downward from the surface of the second plate in the protruding direction,

the at least one first protruding piece has the first inclined face, and

the at least one second protruding piece has the second inclined face.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one first protruding piece is fixed to the first plate, and

the at least one second protruding piece is fixed to the second plate.

3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one first protruding piece includes a plurality of first protruding pieces that are aligned in a longitudinal direction of the end face of the first plate, and

the at least one second protruding piece includes a plurality of second protruding pieces that are aligned in a longitudinal direction of the end face of the second plate.

4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the hinge device comprises:

a hinge body extending along adjacent ends of the first chassis and the second chassis to be located across the adjacent ends, the hinge body supporting the rear face of the display;

a first support plate disposed to face the inner surface of the first chassis and extending along the adjacent ends, the first support plate connecting to the hinge body in a relatively rotatable manner, and supporting the rear face of the display between the hinge body and the first plate; and

a second support plate disposed to face the inner surface of the second chassis and extending along the adjacent ends, the second support plate connecting to the hinge body in a relatively rotatable manner, and supporting the rear face of the display between the hinge body and the second plate,

wherein

in the second posture, the first support plate has an outer end face on the other side of the hinge body, the outer end face coming in contact with or being close to the end face of the first plate,

in the second posture, the second support plate has an outer end face on the other side of the hinge body, the outer end face coming in contact with or being close to the end face of the second plate,

the outer end face of the first support plate has a recess like a cutout to avoid interference with the at least one first protruding piece, and

the outer end face of the second support plate has a recess like a cutout to avoid interference with the at least one second protruding piece.

5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one first protruding piece extends in a longitudinal direction of the end face of the first plate, and

the at least one second protruding piece extends in the longitudinal direction of the end face of the second plate.

6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein

the hinge device comprises:

a hinge body extending along adjacent ends of the first chassis and the second chassis to be located across the adjacent ends, the hinge body supporting the rear face of the display;

a first support plate disposed to face the inner surface of the first chassis and extending along the adjacent ends, the first support plate connecting to the hinge body in a relatively rotatable manner, and supporting the rear face of the display between the hinge body and the first plate; and

a second support plate disposed to face the inner surface of the second chassis and extending along the adjacent ends, the second support plate connecting to the hinge body in a relatively rotatable manner, and supporting the rear face of the display between the hinge body and the second plate,

wherein

in the second posture, the first support plate has an outer end face on the other side of the hinge body, the outer end face coming in contact with or being close to a distal end face of the at least one first protruding piece, and

in the second posture, the second support plate has an outer end face on the other side of the hinge body, the outer end face coming in contact with or being close to a distal end face of the at least one second protruding piece.
