1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a display that at least partially has flexibility; and
a main body portion,
wherein the display includes a plurality of display portions, has a bending portion at each of boundaries of the plurality of display portions, and is configured to be bendable at the bending portion as a start point in response to rotation of a hinge portion that is relatively rotatably coupled to first and second display portions among the plurality of display portions,
the main body portion includes a grip portion and an operation portion disposed at the grip portion,
a coupling portion that rotatably couples the display to the main body portion is included, and
the display is located at a position that is different from the grip portion inside an outer shape of the main body portion in an accommodated state, and the first and second display portions are unfolded to be parallel to each other in an unfolded state,
wherein the display includes first to third display portions, a first bending portion being included at a boundary between the first display portion and the second display portion, and a second bending portion being included at a boundary between the second display portion and the third display portion,
wherein the electronic apparatus includes: a first hinge portion that is relatively rotatably coupled to the first display portion and the second display portion so as to correspond to the first bending portion, and a second hinge portion that is relatively rotatably coupled to the second display portion and the third display portion so as to correspond to the second bending portion, and the display is able to be bent at the first and second bending portions as start points in response to rotation of the first and second hinge portions,
wherein a thickness of a holding member of the first display portion is equal to a thickness of a holding member of the second display portion, and a distance from a surface on which the holding member of the first display portion is secured to the main body portion to a surface to which the operation portion is secured is equal to or greater than a sum of a height of the operation portion from the main body portion and the thickness of the holding member of the second display portion, and
wherein the main body portion includes a thumb rest with a thickness that is greater than the height of the operation portion, and
the thickness of the thumb rest is equal to or less than a length obtained by subtracting a thickness of the holding member of the third display portion from the distance.
