Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus is provided with a case, a module contained in the case, a ground provided in the case, a plurality of protrusions which protrude from an inner surface of the case, and a cable connected electrically to the module. At least one of the protrusions includes, on a side face thereof, a conductor connected electrically to the ground. The cable includes an electrically conductive film and is supported by the respective side faces of the protrusions.

Claims

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a case;

a module contained in the case;

a ground provided in the case;

a plurality of protrusions which protrude from an inner surface of the case and at least one of which includes, on a side face thereof, a conductor connected electrically to the ground; and

a cable connected electrically to the module, including an electrically conductive film, and supported by the respective side faces of the protrusions.

2. An electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the cable is located and held between the protrusions.

3. An electronic apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the protrusions include three protrusions which support the cable, and the cable meanders among the protrusions.

4. An electronic apparatus according to claim 3, wherein any of the protrusions includes the conductor.

5. An electronic apparatus according to claim 4, wherein at least that surface of each protrusion which touches the cable is in a form of curved surface.

6. An electronic apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the case includes a first housing member including the protrusions formed thereon, a second housing member combined with the first housing member, and a fixing member which fixes the second housing member to the first housing member, at least one of the protrusions being provided with a hole in which the fixing member assembled to the second housing member is engaged.

7. An electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the cable is led around along the respective side faces of the protrusions and extends entwined around the protrusions.

8. An electronic apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the protrusions are arranged at intervals of a width greater than the thickness of the cable.

9. An electronic apparatus according to claim 8, wherein any of the protrusions includes the conductor.

10. An electronic apparatus according to claim 9, wherein at least that surface of each protrusion which touches the cable is in a form of curved surface.

11. An electronic apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the case includes a first housing member including the protrusions formed thereon, a second housing member combined with the first housing member, and a fixing member which fixes the second housing member to the first housing member, at least one of the protrusions being provided with a hole in which the fixing member assembled to the second housing member is engaged.
