Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing main body having an opening, a transparent plate attached to an outer face of the housing main body so as to cover the opening, a light-emitting diode (LED) that is disposed in the housing main body to face outside via the opening and that illuminates a bar-code with illumination light, and an imaging unit that is disposed in the housing main body to face outside via the opening and that detects reflected light reflected on the bar-code in the illumination light. The housing main body is integrally formed with a shade configured to shade reflected light reflected on the transparent plate in the illumination light illuminated from the LED such that the illumination light does not enter into the imaging unit.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a casing to accommodate a display panel having front and back surfaces, a portion of the display surface being an effective display area; an antenna, disposed in back of a closed area of the effective display area, oriented to exhibit a directivity from the back of the effective display area toward the front surface, and to perform near field communication with an external terminal in a non-contact manner when the external terminal is close to the display panel; a scanner, disposed in the back of the effective display area, having a digitizer scanning film for accepting an input of a digitizer pen, to detect a position of the digitizer pen on the front surface of the display panel; and a shielding plate disposed in back of the scanner and the antenna such that the antenna is disposed between the digitizer scanning film and the shielding plate.

Abstract: Provided is a convertible type computer (PC) 1 comprising a second housing 3 including a display section 3a, and a first housing 2 including a palm rest 2b. A first antenna 6a is disposed on the palm rest 2b, and a second antenna 7a is disposed on a reverse surface 2e of the first housing 2 immediately beneath the first antenna 6a. An attitude sensor 8 detects whether the PC 1 has a clam shell form or a tablet form. In accordance with a detection result, a switch section 9 switches between the first antenna 6a and the second antenna 7a for establishing wireless communication with an external terminal to communicate information. Therefore, it is possible to switch between information signals through the first antenna 6a and information signals through the second antenna 7a depending on the attitude of the PC 1, and fine communication can be established.
