Electronic apparatus having movable input device
An electronic apparatus having movable input device includes a main body and two input devices. The main body includes a shell, a display panel and a processing unit. The display panel and the processing unit are received in the shell. A display surface of the display panel is exposed from the shell. The two input devices are coupled to two opposite sides of the shell respectively and electrically connect to the processing unit. The two input devices are configured for being slid or rotated relative to the shell so as to be received by the shell, thereby facilitating to reduce the volume of the electronic apparatus.
1. An electronic apparatus having movable input device, comprising:
a main body comprising a shell, a display panel and a processing unit, the display panel and the processing unit being received in the shell, a display surface of the display panel being exposed from the shell; and
at least an input device coupled to the shell and electrically connected to the processing unit, wherein the input device is configured for being slid relative to the shell along a straight path so as to be received by the shell;
wherein the shell comprises a front surface, a rear surface, a top surface, a bottom surface and two opposite side surfaces, the display surface of the display panel is exposed from the front surface, the front surface is on an opposite side of the shell to the rear surface, the bottom surface is on an opposite side of the shell to the top surface, the two side surfaces are adjacent to the front surface, the rear surface, the top surface and the bottom surface, the at least an input device is coupled to at least one of the side surfaces respectively, the at least one of the side surfaces defines at least an opening respectively, the at least an input device is received in the shell through the opening, the opening has sliding blocks disposed therein, the rear of the input device defines sliding chutes corresponding to the sliding blocks, the sliding chutes cooperate with the corresponding sliding blocks so that the input device can be slid relative to the shell to be received in the shell through the opening.
