  • Publication number: 20230309249
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus has a first chassis member, a second chassis member adjacent to the first chassis member, and a hinge device that relatively rotatably connects the first chassis member and the second chassis member between a 0-degree posture and a 180-degree posture The adjacent end portion of the first chassis member is provided with a stopper projection that comes into contact with the adjacent end portion of the second chassis member in the 180-degree posture. The stopper projection is provided near a center of a thickness W of the first chassis member in the adjacent end portion the first chassis member.

  • Publication number: 20230288960
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes: a first chassis which has a first frame member; a second chassis which has a second frame member which is adjacent to the first frame member and is adjacent to the first chassis; a display which is supported to the first chassis and the second chassis; and a hinge device which so connects the first chassis and the second chassis as to be rotationally movable relative to each other between a first posture that the first chassis and the second chassis are so folded as to mutually overlap in a surface normal direction and a second posture that the first chassis and the second chassis are mutually arrayed in a direction which is vertical to the surface normal direction.

  • Patent number: 11490185
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a chassis, a microphone hole penetrating an outer wall of the chassis, and a microphone module that faces the microphone hole. The microphone module has a microphone that obtains sound information outside the chassis through the microphone hole, a flexible substrate laminated on a back surface of the microphone, a metallic plate laminated on a back surface of the flexible substrate, and a sound hole opened in the back surface of the microphone and penetrating the flexible substrate and the metallic plate. The electronic device further includes a double-sided tape fastened to a first region, surrounding the sound hole, of a back surface of the metallic plate, and to an inner surface of the chassis, and that fixes the microphone module to the chassis, and a conductive member that electrically connects the second region of the metallic plate and the inner surface of the chassis.
