An electronic apparatus, comprising:
- an apparatus main body;
- a door portion supported by the apparatus main body so as to be openable and closable;
- a pressing portion disposed at the door portion;
- a deformation portion that is deformable between an open state shape and a closed state shape in accordance with an open/closed state of the door portion by an action of the pressing portion, and is configured to be deformed to the closed state shape when a pressed surface is pressed by the pressing portion;
- and
- a detection unit configured to detect that the door portion is in a closed state by being pressed by the pressing portion via the pressed surface, wherein
- a hole into which the pressing portion is inserted is formed at the apparatus main body,
- the pressed surface and the detection unit are pressed by the pressing portion inserted through the hole,
- the deformation portion includes a plate-like member having flexibility, and one end and another end in a long side direction of the plate-like member are fixed to the apparatus main body,
- the detection unit is disposed at the apparatus main body so as to be covered with the pressed surface, and
- a width of the pressed surface is larger than a width of the detection unit and a width of the hole.
