Electronic apparatus and panel
An electronic apparatus has a panel that includes: a decorative plate which forms an outer surface; and a panel main body having an upright wall provided upright along the side surface of the decorative plate and surrounding the whole circumference of the decorative plate and having a depressed section surrounded by the upright wall into which the decorative plate is fitted. The panel main body includes a metal plate that forms a portion of the depressed section excluding a periphery section of the depressed section and inside the periphery section. The periphery section is close to the upright wall, and the resin frame forms a portion outside the metal plate including the periphery section. The metal plate and the resin frame are integrally molded.
