Abstract

An electronic device ( 1 ) has an information processor ( 3 ) including a circuit board ( 31 ) and an integrated circuit element ( 32 ). The integrated circuit element is mounted on the circuit board for controlling input and output of information. Further, the circuit board is provided with a cover member ( 33 A) having thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity and covering the integrated circuit element. The cover member, which is electrically connected to ground patterns (G) formed on the circuit board, includes an electromagnetic radiation suppressor ( 5 ) for suppressing radiation of electromagnetic waves generated from the integrated circuit element.
