An electronic device includes a first surface which faces a first side and a second surface which faces a second side and including a first through hole which connects the first surface and the second surface to each other, a second housing component to the second side of the first housing component, and an acoustic component located on the first side of the first through hole. The first housing component and the second housing component as being combined with each other define a passage which communicates with outside from an end on the second side of the first through hole.

Electronic device

A structure includes a sheet metal antenna as a first member, a rear-surface-side housing as a second member including a through hole, and a sealing portion which seals the through hole while the sealing portion fixes relative positional relation between the first and second members. The second member includes a space. The sheet metal antenna includes a second portion along a second surface and an intermediate portion which passes through the through hole and the like. The space includes a first region covered with the second portion and the like, a second region located opposite to the first region with the intermediate portion being interposed, and a third region which lies from one main surface of the intermediate portion to the other main surface thereof while it is in contact with both of the first region and the second region. The second portion includes an injection hole.

Structure, electronic device including the same, and method of manufacturing structure

An electronic device includes a first housing component including a first surface and a second surface and including a first through hole which connects the first surface and the second surface to each other, a second housing component removably attached to the first housing component, and an acoustic component located on a first side of the first through hole. The first housing component and the second housing component as being combined with each other define a passage which communicates with the outside. The first housing component includes a third surface. The second housing component includes a fourth surface. On one of the third surface and the fourth surface, a rib which protrudes to abut on the other is located. The rib is located to separate a region including the first through hole from other portions.

The second member includes a space. The sheet metal antenna includes an intermediate portion as a pass-through portion which passes through the space and the through hole. The space includes a first region, a second region located opposite to the first region with the intermediate portion being interposed, and a third region which lies from one main surface of the intermediate portion to the other main surface thereof while it is in contact with both of the first region and the second region, and the second member includes an injection path as a groove continuing to the first region.

A cover panel is disposed on a surface of an electronic apparatus and is made of sapphire. A flexible printed wiring board extends in a state of being curved in the electronic apparatus. A gap reduction member is in contact with at least a curved portion of the flexible printed wiring board from the cover panel side.

Electronic apparatus

An electronic device includes a first housing component including a first surface facing a first side and a second surface facing a second side, the first housing component including a first through-hole connecting the first surface and the second surface, a waterproof film located to cover the first through-hole, an audio component located on the first side of the waterproof film, and a second housing component attached removably to the second side of the first housing component. The first through-hole has such a shape that the waterproof film is directly visible when the first side is seen from the second side without the second housing component attached to the first housing component. The first housing component and the second housing component are combined together to form a passage leading from an end of the first through-hole on the second surface side to a first opening.

Electronic device with washable waterproof film protecting audio component

In an electronic device according to the present invention, a shield case is disposed at a surface of a main board so as to cover at least a part of a region of the surface of the main board; and an auxiliary board is disposed at a surface of the shield case. The shield case is comprised of a metallic frame that is fixed at the surface of the main board and extends in such a manner as to surround at least the part of the region, and a metallic cover fitted into the metallic frame to cover at least the part of the region. A projecting piece is formed in the metallic frame of the shield case, and penetrates the metallic cover and projects toward the auxiliary board. An end face of the auxiliary board abuts against the projecting piece, so as to position the auxiliary board.

A portable electronic apparatus includes coupled first and second casings with respective image display surfaces, and including a full-closed state where both casings are overlaid on each other, a tilt state where the second casing has been moved from the full-closed state so that the image display surfaces in both casings are exposed and, also, the image display surface in the second casing is inclined with respect to the image display surface in the first casing at an angle of opening which is equal to or more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees, and a full-open state where the image display surfaces in both casings are flushed with each other in the same plane, and the portable electronic apparatus being capable of holding the second casing, in attitude, with respect to the first casing in the full-closed state, in the tilt state and in the full-open state.
