Publication number: 20230300991Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a display panel and a chassis member that are fixed by a tensile-peelable first adhesive tape, second adhesive tape, and third adhesive tape. The first adhesive tape is located along a first edge of the chassis member. The third adhesive tape is located along a third edge of the chassis member. The second adhesive tape is located between the first adhesive tape and the third adhesive tape and orthogonal to the first adhesive tape and the third adhesive tape. The first adhesive tape and the third adhesive tape respectively have a first tab and a third tab for tensile peeling operation extending to a second edge of the chassis member. The second adhesive tape has a second tab for tensile peeling operation extending from one end thereof to the second edge.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Applicant: LENOVO (SINGAPORE) PTE. LTD.Inventors: Wenjin Niu, Takehito Yamauchi, Keita Ishikawa, Shigehiro Horiuchi, So Nakanishi

Patent number: 11490185Abstract: An electronic device includes a chassis, a microphone hole penetrating an outer wall of the chassis, and a microphone module that faces the microphone hole. The microphone module has a microphone that obtains sound information outside the chassis through the microphone hole, a flexible substrate laminated on a back surface of the microphone, a metallic plate laminated on a back surface of the flexible substrate, and a sound hole opened in the back surface of the microphone and penetrating the flexible substrate and the metallic plate. The electronic device further includes a double-sided tape fastened to a first region, surrounding the sound hole, of a back surface of the metallic plate, and to an inner surface of the chassis, and that fixes the microphone module to the chassis, and a conductive member that electrically connects the second region of the metallic plate and the inner surface of the chassis.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2021Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Wenjin Niu, Jun Iwasaki, Toshikazu Horino, Toshinari Sumikawa, Shigehiro Horiuchi, Takehito Yamauchi, Yalu Liu, Keita Ishikawa
