Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a housing, a display module, and a reception member. The housing includes a first inner surface and a second inner surface opposed to the first inner surface. The display module includes a unit being stacked on the first inner surface and accommodated in the housing and a panel being stacked on the unit and opposed to the second inner surface. The reception member projects from the first inner surface. The reception member includes a base and an extended portion. The base faces a side of the unit. The extended portion projects from the top of the base and faces a side of the panel. The extended portion includes a first periphery and a second periphery inclined toward the first periphery.

Claims (26)

1. A television comprising:

a housing comprising a first inner surface and a second inner surface opposed to the first inner surface;

a display module comprising a unit being stacked on the first inner surface and accommodated in the housing and a panel being stacked on the unit and opposed to the second inner surface; and

a reception member projecting from the first inner surface, the reception member comprises:

a base facing a side of the unit,

a curved portion being provided on an edge of the base and curved in a direction opposite to the display module, and

an extended portion projecting from the top of the base and facing a side of the panel, the extended portion comprising a pair of peripheries which are inclined toward each other.

2. The television of claim 1 , wherein a space between the extended portion and the second inner surface is narrower than a space between the panel and the second inner surface.

3. The television of claim 1 further comprising a cushion positioned between the reception member and the side of the display module.

4. The television of claim 2 further comprising a cushion being held between the reception member and the side of the display module.

5. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a housing comprising a first inner surface and a second inner surface opposed to the first inner surface;

a display module comprising a unit being stacked on the first inner surface and accommodated in the housing and a panel being stacked on the unit and opposed to the second inner surface; and

a reception member projecting from the first inner surface, wherein the reception member comprises:

a base facing a side of the unit, and

an extended portion projecting from the top of the base and facing a side of the panel, the extended portion comprising a first periphery and a second periphery inclined toward the first periphery.

6. The electronic apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the reception member further comprises a curved portion being provided on the edge of the base and curved in a direction opposite to the display module.

7. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 , wherein a space between the extended portion and the second inner surface is narrower than a space between the panel and the second inner surface.

8. The electronic apparatus of claim 7 further comprising a cushion being held between the reception member and the side of the display module.

9. The electronic apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the cushion is attached to the base and faces the curved portion.

10. The electronic apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the reception member further comprises a reinforcing member extended from the base in an opposite direction of the display module, and the reinforcing member is provided ranging from the first inner surface to the base portion.

11. The electronic apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the base comprises a distal end located away from the side of the panel in a direction toward the first inner surface.

12. The electronic apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the base comprises a distal end located away from the side of the panel in a direction toward the first inner surface.

13. The electronic apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the extended portion exists between the edges of the base.

14. The electronic apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the extended portion is formed in a shape of a trapezoid.

15. The electronic apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the distance from the top of the base to the top of the extended portion is greater than the thickness of the panel.
