Abstract
The invention provides a casing structure for an electronic apparatus that achieves a thin size and light weight. The casing structure is capable of accommodating a display module, and comprises a sidewall and a bottom surface in which a conductive resin region and a nonconductive resin region are butt joined in a curved line. The casing structure of the electronic apparatus does not become thick due to the butt joining even when the joint portions are in a projection area of the display module. Furthermore, on the display side of the casing structure, there is no need to have special frame members for securing strength in addition to the display casing. The display casing accommodates and protects the display module from an external pressing force and also has a design function that the outer surface of the casing resembles that of an outer surface of a conventional notebook PC.
