Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus in which an antenna operating in two or more communication bands is disposed in a space conserving manner. An information processing apparatus according to the present disclosure has: a network interface for processing signals used for communications in a plurality of frequency bands; a display panel having a main surface for displaying an image, a rear surface opposite to the main surface, and a side surface defining a thickness between the main surface and the rear surface; an antenna connected to the network interface and having a conductive antenna element; and a conductive rib conducted to the antenna element, and holding the antenna with a predetermined gap between the antenna and the side surface of the display panel. The network interface processes the signals by resonance of a part of the antenna element and a part of the rib.
