`ABSTRACT
`[57]
`A handy type video telephone equipment which permits a
`user to transmit and receive pictures and speech with a
`casing held in one hand. A speaker is arranged at the upper
`end part of the front of the casing which is thin and vertically
`long, while a microphone is arranged at the lower end part
`thereof. A display panel and a control panel are interposed
`between the speaker and the microphone. A camera is
`mounted on the casing so as to be capable of altering its
`angle. The speaker is detachably mounted, and it is usable as
`an earphone when detached. The user's movements are not
`hampered during the transmission and reception, and the
`equipment can assume various communication or service
`attitudes conforming to the contents of information for the
`communications.
