Abstract: [Object] To provide a tactile sense presentation apparatus, an electronic apparatus, an accessory, and a holding apparatus that can achieve an improvement in mountability. [Solving Means] A tactile sense presentation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a mounting portion, a pump unit, and a control unit. The mounting portion is mounted on a target object and includes a surface material which is deformable in at least a part of a contact portion with the target object. The pump unit includes a flow path, which is connected to the mounting portion, and feeds a fluid for deforming the surface material to the mounting portion. The control unit controls driving of the pump unit.

Abstract: Provided is an electronic apparatus that has enhanced strength and reduced weight. An electronic apparatus includes: a housing having two faces that face each other, having an accommodation space therein, and having an opening on one of the two faces; and an electronic device contained in the accommodation space. The housing is configured of a first member and a second member that are divided in the faces, and has a device insertion opening on at least one of opposing faces of the first member and the second member.

Abstract: A display that includes a frame to be worn on a head of an observer, two image creation devices, two light guides to guide light beams output from the image creation devices and to output the light beams toward pupils of the observer, and an optical plate attached to a center part of the frame and attached to a periphery part of the light guides via an adhesive. The center part of the frame is thicker than an outside part of the frame.

Abstract: A display device includes a display main body having a housing having an opening formed through the front surface and a display unit attached to the housing to close the opening and displaying an image, a stand base placed on a mounting surface, and at least one support connected to the display main body at one end and connected to the stand base at the other end, in which the support includes a cable inputting/outputting power or signals to/from the display main body and a coating covering the cable.
