Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus is provided with a first case including a peripheral wall, a display device contained in the first case and including four side faces, a second case, a hinge shaft which swingably supports the first case on the second case, and a bracket which is connected to the hinge shaft and extends in the first case. The bracket includes a holding portion, which extends along one of the side faces of the display device and is fixed to the display device, and a fixing portion fixed to a peripheral portion of the first case situated off regions defined between the four side faces of the display device and those wall portions of the peripheral wall which face the side faces, individually.
Claims19
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a first case including a peripheral wall;
- a display device contained in the first case and including four side faces;
- a second case;
- a hinge shaft which swingably supports the first case on the second case;
- and
- a bracket which is coupled to the hinge shaft and extends in the first case, the bracket including (i) a holding portion, which extends along one of the side faces of the display device and is fixed to the display device, (ii) a first fixing portion fixed to a peripheral portion of the first case situated off regions defined between at least one side face of the display device and the peripheral wall, and (iii) a second fixing portion provided on the holding portion, spaced from the display device, and coupled to the peripheral wall of the first case.
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a first case including a peripheral wall;
- a display device contained in the first case and including four side faces;
- a second case;
- a hinge shaft which swingably supports the first case on the second case;
- and
- a bracket which extends in the first case, the bracket including (i) an end portion coupled to the hinge shaft, (ii) a holding portion, which extends along one of the side faces of the display device and is fixed to the display device, the thickness of the holding portion being smaller than the thickness of the end portion, (iii) a first fixing portion placed between at least one side face of the display device and the peripheral wall, and (iv) a damper portion coupled to the holding portion and the first fixing portion.
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a display device including a display screen and four side faces;
- a first case including a cover, which includes a rear wall situated behind the display device and a peripheral wall which rises from a peripheral edge portion of the rear wall and surrounds the four side faces of the display device, and a mask which is combined with the cover and faces the display screen of the display device;
- a second case;
- and
- a hinge mechanism which swingably connects the first case to the second case, wherein
- the cover including a first region opposite a rear surface of the display device, second regions defined between at least one of the side faces of the display device and the peripheral wall, and third regions off the first and second regions,
- the hinge mechanism including a bracket which extends in the first case, the bracket including (i) a holding portion, which extends along one of the side faces of the display device and is fixed to the display device, (ii) a first fixing portion fixed to one of the third regions of the cover, and (iii) a damper portion coupled to the holding portion and the first fixing portion.
