Abstract
An exemplary information processing apparatus of the present invention includes: a body portion having a control device; and a display portion having a display panel connected to the body portion via a hinge so as to be swingably opened or closed. A power generation portion of a fuel cell, having positive electrodes, negative electrodes, and electrolyte layers placed between the positive electrodes and the negative electrodes is provided in a housing of the display portion. The positive electrodes of the power generation portion are disposed on a back side or a display panel side of the display portion. Air holes for supplying air to the positive electrodes are provided on at least one selected from a back side of the housing and a display panel side of the housing. A fuel cartridge for supplying liquid fuel to the power generation portion is incorporated in the body portion. Thus, the information processing apparatus can be decreased in thickness and miniaturized.
