There is provided an optical disc drive that can guide the center of an optical disc to the position of a spindle motor, while allowing the number of components to be reduced. A base frame includes a stopper portion that comes into contact with an outer edge of the optical disc having reached the position of a spindle motor and that restricts backward movement of the optical disc. A switch arm includes a contact portion located on a side opposite to the stopper portion across the optical disc having reached the position of the spindle motor, and the switch arm uses the contact portion to push the optical disc toward the stopper portion.

Optical disc drive and electronic equipment

A conveying roller position manipulation mechanism moves the position of a conveying roller between a first roller position where the conveying roller contacts an optical disc and a second roller position where the conveying roller is separated from the optical disc. A centering mechanism aligns the center of the optical disc with the position of a spindle motor. A chucking pulley operation mechanism manipulates the position of a chucking pulley configured to fix the optical disc to the spindle motor. The conveying roller position manipulation mechanism includes a rotary arm configured to move in response to a collision with the optical disc that approaches the position of the spindle motor, and at least one of the centering mechanism and the chucking pulley operation mechanism includes a member coupled to the rotary arm.

An electronic apparatus includes a plurality of parts, a frame having an outer periphery surrounding the plurality of parts and formed from resin, a circuit board disposed at one side in a first direction with respect to the plurality of parts, a chassis disposed at the one side in the first direction with respect to the plurality of parts, and formed from metal, and a metal plate disposed at the other side in the first direction with respect to at least one of the plurality of parts and attached to the frame.

Electronic apparatus with air duct and fan

The present invention increases the degree of freedom in layout of parts possessed by an electronic apparatus. A lower cover () has a first engaging section (A). An inner part (B) has a first edge section (S) which is located under the first engaging section (A) and which overlaps with the first engaging section (A) in the vertical direction. The inner part (B) has a guide section () located below the first edge section (S). The guide section () is formed such that when the lower cover () and the inner part (B) are combined together in the vertical direction, the guide section () comes into contact with a right wall section (B) of the lower cover () and pushes the right wall section (B) rightward so as to cause the first engaging section (A) to move rightward beyond the first edge section (S).

Electronic apparatus

An electronic apparatus includes a plurality of parts, a frame having an outer periphery surrounding the plurality of parts and formed from resin, a circuit board disposed at one side in a first direction with respect to the plurality of parts, a chassis disposed at the one side in the first direction with respect to the plurality of parts, attached to the frame, and formed from metal, and a metal plate disposed at the other side in the first direction with respect to at least one of the plurality of parts and attached to the frame.

An electronic apparatus includes: a display portion including a display screen; a main body portion including upper and bottom surfaces; and a coupling portion to couple the display portion with the main body portion such that the display portion becomes rotatable between a first state where the display screen faces the upper surface and a second state where the display screen forms a predetermined angle with respect to the upper surface, the main body portion including a pair of side surfaces, and a first connector connectable with a first external connector and includes a lower surface exposed from the bottom surface, the display portion including a first leg portion that protrudes to be positioned lower than the bottom surface in the second state and comes into contact with a surface on which the main body portion is placed to form a predetermined tilt with respect to the surface.

A first antenna () is disposed closer to a rear touch panel () than to a display panel () in the front-rear direction of a housing (). The first antenna () is disposed so as to be offset with respect to the rear touch panel () in a direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the housing () so that at least a part of the first antenna () does not overlap the rear touch panel () in the front-rear direction of the housing (). With such a structure, the display panel and touch panel are provided at the front surface and rear surface, respectively, and good reception sensitivity can be obtained.

Portable type electronic device, portable type electronic device group, and method of manufacturing portable type electronic device

An operation member and an electronic device capable of maintaining operability while enhancing cushioning properties provided in the outer surface of an operation member are provided. An operation stick has a cushion portion and a base portion on which the cushion portion is placed. The base portion is supported to be movable. The base portion has a frame portion surrounding the outer periphery of the cushion portion. The base portion and the frame portion are formed of a material having a higher rigidity than that of the material of the cushion portion.

Operation member provided in electronic device, and electronic device

An electronic device includes a front panel made of resin. The front panel is disposed on the front side of an organic electroluminescent display panel and functions as the front surface of the electronic device; and an adhesive agent layer formed between the organic electroluminescent display panel and the front panel. The organic electroluminescent display panel is fixed to the front panel via the adhesive agent layer. This structure is able to reduce a load applied to the organic electroluminescent display panel and ensure shock resistance for the organic electroluminescent display panel.
