Abstract

Disclosed herein is an electronic apparatus, including: a base chassis formed as a unitary member from a transparent material and having two faces positioned on the opposite sides to each other and individually formed as a first mounting face section and a second mounting face section; a display unit having a display panel thereon and attached to said first mounting face section of said base chassis; a control circuit board attached to said second mounting face section of said base chassis; and a rear cover attached to said second mounting face section of said base chassis and configured to cover said control circuit board.

Claims

1. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a base chassis formed as a unitary member from a transparent material and having two faces positioned on the opposite sides to each other and individually formed as a first mounting face section and a second mounting face section;

a display unit having a display panel thereon and attached to said first mounting face section of said base chassis;

a control circuit board attached to said second mounting face section of said base chassis; and

a rear cover attached to said second mounting face section of said base chassis and configured to cover said control circuit board.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said base chassis has a mounting recess formed at a portion thereof other than an outer peripheral portion of said first mounting face section;

said base chassis having the outer peripheral portion, a bottom face portion positioned on the inner side of said outer peripheral portion and extending in parallel to said outer peripheral portion, and a connecting portion configured to connect to an inner peripheral edge of said outer peripheral portion and an outer peripheral edge of said bottom face portion and bent with respect to said outer peripheral portion and said bottom face portion;

said display panel being inserted in said mounting recess so as to be attached to said base chassis.

3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said bottom face portion of said base chassis is formed with a thickness smaller than the thickness of said outer peripheral portion.

4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a stand supported for pivotal motion on a rear face of said cover such that said electronic apparatus is placed on a receiving face through said stand and said base chassis.

5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising:

a holding member attached to a lower end portion of said base chassis; and

an elastic placement pad attached to said holding member and configured to contact with the receiving face.
