Abstract
A portable electronic apparatus includes a housing having a first face and first and second side faces rising from the first face, a display unit having a first side and a second side, a touch panel disposed so as to be stacked on the display unit and being capable of detecting a distance to an indicator using an electric field, first and second conductive members respectively disposed at end parts of the display unit along the first side and the second side, and third and fourth conductive members disposed along a bottom face of the display unit and electrically connected to the first and second conductive members respectively. The display unit and the third and fourth conductive members are accommodated in a concave part configured by the first side face, the first face and the second side face.
Claims21
A portable electronic apparatus comprising:
- a housing having at least a first face and first and second side faces rising from the first face;
- a display having at least a first side and a second side which is opposed to the first side;
- a touch panel that is stacked on the display and detects at least a distance to an indicator using an electric field;
- a first conductive member disposed at an end portion of the display along the first side;
- a second conductive member disposed at the end portion of the display along the second side;
- a third conductive member disposed along a bottom face of the display and electrically connected to the first conductive member;
- a fourth conductive member disposed along the bottom face of the display and electrically connected to the second conductive member;
- wherein at least the display, the third conductive member, and the fourth conductive member are accommodated in a concave portion configured by the first side face, the first face and the second side face;
- wherein, when the housing is gripped with a hand and the housing is distorted in a state that the indicator is spaced from the touch panel, at least the touch panel, the third conductive member, and the fourth conductive member are moved together with respect to the housing in a direction substantially parallel to at least the first face, thereby a relative positional relation among the touch panel, the third conductive member, and the fourth conductive member is maintained constant.
