Abstract
An electronic device in which a vibration generator is attached to a panel allows further improvement in sound pressure characteristics. An electronic device () includes a housing (), a panel () held by the housing (), a vibration generator () attached to the panel (), and a sheet member () between the housing () and the panel (). The panel () deforms due to deformation of the vibration generator () to transmit human body vibration sound to an object that contacts the panel (). A first portion of the sheet member () is joined to the panel (), and a second portion of the sheet member () differing from the first portion is joined to the housing (). Between the first portion and the second portion, the sheet member () includes an area to which neither the panel () nor the housing () is attached.
