  • Patent number: 7852625
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a display section and a main body section. The display section is disposed on a first surface and has a display panel and a display panel case. The display panel case houses the display panel such that the display panel can display an image. The display panel case has a protrusion portion formed at a first end. The main body section is disposed on a second surface and has an input section and a depressed portion. The depressed portion is formed at a second end of the second surface and has a pierced portion and a housing portion. The pierced portion is formed from the second surface to an opposite surface thereof such that a battery is attached to the pierced portion. The housing portion axially houses the protrusion portion on a side opposite to the input section with respect to the pierced portion.
