Patent number: 9820393Abstract: A monitor includes a display in a form of a liquid crystal display, a monitor substrate that is electrically connected to the liquid crystal display, a connector that is used for electrical connection between the monitor substrate and an outside, and a resin-made exterior case that houses the liquid crystal display and the monitor substrate. On a back face opposed to the monitor substrate of the exterior case, a connector attachment portion is provided in a manner to be dented toward the connector. In the connector attachment portion, an opening from which the connector is exposed is provided. At least a part of an inner circumferential surface of the connector attachment portion is provided by an inclined surface portion that is enlarged toward the back face from an elevational portion (opening).Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2012Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: Komatsu Ltd.Inventors: Tomohiro Saitou, Masahiko Hosaka
