    摘要: A portable information device is described. The portable information device includes a first chassis, a second chassis, a display, and a flexible sheet-shaped member. The display includes a folding region located between the first and second chassis. The sheet-shaped member is attached to a first fixed point located at a position offset from a center of the folding region to a side of the first chassis, and is also attached to a second fixed point located at a position offset from the center of the folding region to a side of the second chassis. In addition, the sheet-shaped member includes a first strength changing section in which a flexural strength decreases gradually from the first fixed point towards a first inflection point, and a second strength changing section in which the flexural strength decreases gradually from the second fixed point towards a second inflection point.

    摘要: An electronic apparatus includes a storage chassis, an electronic component, an antenna circuit, and a proximity sensor circuit. A pair of main faces facing each other in the thickness direction and end faces of the storage chassis define a storage space. The electronic component is disposed in the storage space. The antenna circuit is disposed in the storage space so that at least a part of the antenna circuit overlaps the electronic component when viewed in the thickness direction. The proximity sensor circuit is connected to the antenna circuit, and detects proximity of an object based on a physical quantity that changes according to proximity of the object. The antenna circuit includes a substrate, an antenna element, and an antenna ground. The proximity sensor circuit is located in an end space defined between the electronic component and the end face.

    摘要: A portable information device includes a first chassis, a second chassis adjacent to the first chassis and connected so as to be pivotable relative to the first chassis, and a stand device. The stand device includes a first and a second stand plate, which are provided on back faces of the first and the second chassis and movable between a housing position along the back face and an upright position in which the first and second stand plates protrudes from the back faces. The first stand plate and the second stand plate are switchable between a separated state, in which their adjacent ends are spaced apart from each other so as to be configured separately, and a connected state, in which their adjacent ends are connected to each other so as to move together between the housing position and the upright position.

    摘要: An electronic apparatus includes: a first chassis; a second chassis; a hinge device connecting the first and second chassis in a relatively rotatable manner; a display having a bending region; a first plate; and a second plate. In the first posture, the bending region of the display has a bag-shaped bending shape in cross section that protrudes from end faces of the first plate and the second plate disposed to overlap each other. The electronic apparatus further has a first inclined face protruding from the end face of the first plate to be inclined gradually downward from the surface of the first plate in the protruding direction, and a second inclined face protruding from the end face of the second plate to be inclined gradually downward from the surface of the second plate in the protruding direction.

    摘要: A camera module includes an imaging element, a main body unit that houses the imaging element and has a downward-facing installation surface, a plurality of conduction pins, protruding from the installation surface downward, that are biased downward in an upward movable state and are disposed side by side in a crosswise direction, and at least one fixing member. In a case where a direction that is orthogonal to both a vertical direction and the crosswise direction is defined as a depth direction, the side that the imaging element faces in the depth direction is defined as the imaging side and the side that is opposite to the imaging side is defined as a non-imaging side. The main body unit has a guide section that is disposed closer to the imaging side than the plurality of conduction pins and protrudes from the installation surface downward.
