Abstract

An electronic device includes: a chassis; an input device and a display panel that are arranged within the chassis; an elastic member that is arranged between the chassis and the display panel; and a holding member that holds the input device, that is secured to the chassis, and that pushes the display panel toward the elastic member to deform the elastic member.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

a chassis;

an input device and a display panel that are arranged within the chassis;

an elastic member that is arranged between the chassis and the display panel; and

a holding member that holds the input device, that is secured to the chassis, and that pushes the display panel toward the elastic member to deform the elastic member.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein

the chassis comprises first and second covers that are opposite to each other, and

the first cover, the second cover, and the holding member are secured together by a common part.

3. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the chassis comprises a positioning portion that positions the display panel in a plane direction of the display panel.

4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein

the holding member comprises:

a positioning portion that positions the input device and the display panel in a plane direction of the display panel; and

a spacer portion that defines a clearance between the input device and the display panel.

5. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the elastic member comprises at least one of a foam member, a rubber, and a spring.

6. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the input device is a touch panel.
