  • Patent number: 11846994
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a housing unit including a surface at least on a side on which the housing unit is placed, the housing unit including an attachment portion, the attachment portion including a groove and a protrusion, and a support unit that supports the housing unit. The support unit is provided continuously from one end side to the other end side of the surface. Rigidity of an intermediate portion located between the one end side and the other end side is made lower than rigidity of both end portions on the one end side and the other end side by making a protrusion length of the protrusion at the intermediate portion shorter than a protrusion length of the protrusion at both the end portions.
