Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus that includes: a display device having four outer edges, and four corner sections formed with the four outer edges; a housing which incorporates the display device, and has a back wall covering a back surface of the display device and an outer peripheral wall surrounding an outer periphery of the display device; and a metal fastener which has a fastening member and is fastened to the display device. The back wall includes: a first region located between the four outer edges and the outer peripheral wall; and a second region which does not include the first region and a region facing the back surface of the display device, and is located between the corner section and the outer peripheral wall. The fastening member of the metal fastener is fastened to the second region.

Claims

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a display device having four outer edges, and four corner sections formed with the four outer edges;

a housing which incorporates the display device, and has a back wall covering a back surface of the display device and an outer peripheral wall surrounding an outer periphery of the display device; and

a metal fastener which has a fastening member and is fastened to the display device, wherein

the back wall includes;

a first region located between the four outer edges and the outer peripheral wall; and

a second region which does not include the first region and a region facing the back surface of the display device, and is located between the corner section and the outer peripheral wall, and

the fastening member of the metal fastener is fastened to the second region.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the metal fastener integrally includes two of the fastening members;

and

the two fastening members are respectively positioned at two of the second regions which are adjacent to each other.

3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the housing has a mount seat, to which the fastening member is fastened, and

the mount seat is disposed only in the second region.

4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the metal fastener is fastened to an opposing outer edge of the display device.

5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a rib disposed in the first region of the back wall at a position apart from the outer peripheral wall opposing to the outer edge of the display device; and

an elastic member disposed at between the outer edge of the display device and the ribs, or at between the back surface of the display device and the back wall of the housing.
