An electronic device includes an electronic member, a plate having a fastening part, the fastening part having a tubular shape and projecting outward with respect to the electronic member when the plate is arranged outside the electronic member, a case having a hole whose diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the fastening part, the fastening part being inserted into the hole, and a fastening member attached to the fastening part from outside of the case with the fastening part inserted into the hole. A part of the electronic member is located on the axis of the fastening part.

Electronic device

An imaging device is provided that includes a first member, a flat second member, a lens barrel, and an elastic member. The first member defines a lens hole. The flat second member is disposed opposite to the first member. The lens barrel is disposed between the first and second members. The lens barrel includes a lens group disposed inside of the lens hole when the first member is viewed along the optical axis. The elastic member is configured to support the lens barrel. The elastic member is disposed between the first and second members, fixed to the lens barrel and the first member, and arranged to come into contact with the second member.

Imaging device

Electronic equipment according to the present invention includes a cursor keydisposed to be exposed partially from a casing, wherein the cursor keyincludes: an operating portionincluding a plurality of pressing portions that are disposed to be exposed on the surface of the casing and that receive a pressing operation by a user; and a pair of framesandthat are supported by the casing at portionsandand connected to the operating portionat the other portion respectively, wherein the other portions are provided between the respective adjacent pressing portions. With this configuration, it is possible to realize electronic equipment including a switch that requires a less number of components and can be assembled easily.

Electronic equipment

Electronic equipment according to the present invention includes a display element. The electronic equipment includes a holding frameholding a display unitand including an elastic piece that can be elastically deformed in a substantially planar direction of the display surface of the display unit, a rear unitholding a holding frameand including an opening that allows the display unitto be visible from outside, and a front unitfixed to the rear unitand covering the rear surface side of the display unit. The holding frameis held with the rear unitby elastically deforming the elastic piece. With this configuration, it is possible to attach and detach a display element such as a liquid crystal panel to and from the case easily, thus simplifying the assembling process.

An image pickup apparatus of the present invention is a portion of the image pickup portion is exposed on a first surface of the casing. The apparatus includes: a holding frame disposed on a second surface, which is the rear surface of the first surface of the casing, wherein the image pickup portion is held by the holding frame, and the holding frame is fixed to a third surface adjacent to the second surface. With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the number of components, and to eliminate the need for the step of attaching the double-faced tape, and the step of attaching the cover ring to the front panel.
