1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a first chassis and a second chassis;
a hinge connecting the second chassis to the first chassis in a relatively rotatable manner;
an electrical device including a display provided in the first chassis;
a printed circuit board provided in the second chassis; and
a flexible substrate for electrically connecting the electrical device and the printed circuit board, wherein
the first chassis includes: a rotating body that rotates coaxially with the hinge by a rotational movement with respect to the second chassis and has the flexible substrate passed therethrough,
the rotating body includes: a first opening guiding the flexible substrate to the electrical device; a second opening guiding the flexible substrate to the printed circuit board; and a substrate opening through which the flexible substrate passes,
the substrate opening extends in a direction in which the first chassis and the second chassis are stacked in a folded form in which the first chassis and the second chassis are stacked together with one surface of each thereof opposing each other, and the rotating body has a first half body on a side facing the second chassis with the substrate opening sandwiched therebetween, and a second half body on a side opposite thereto, and
a distal end portion forming the second opening in the first half body falls within a range of a profile of a rotation shaft member in a side view of the distal end portion observed on an extension of the rotation shaft member providing a center of rotation of the hinge.
