a reinforcing plate between the first member and the second member, the reinforcing plate comprising a first fixing portion interposing the first member between the reinforcing plate and the housing, and a second fixing portion interposing the second member between the reinforcing plate and the housing.
2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the printed circuit board comprises a main portion and an
extending portion projecting from the main portion, and
wherein the light source is on the extending portion of the printed circuit board, and
wherein the first member comprises a protruding portion protruding from the first main body, the protruding portion surrounding an outer edge of the extending portion.
3. The electronic apparatus of claim 2 , wherein
the housing comprises:
a first case to which the second member is fixed; and
a second case separate from the first case, and
wherein the second fixing portion is fixed to the second case.
4. The electronic apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the second member comprises an overlapping portion protruding from the second main body, the overlapping portion overlapping a periphery of the first main body of the first member.
5. The electronic apparatus of claim 4 , wherein
the protruding portion comprises an opposing portion opposed to the housing, and
the opposing portion is slanted along an inner surface of the housing.
6. The electronic apparatus of claim 5 , wherein
the transparent portion is oblique with respect to the light source and shifted from a position facing the light source, and
wherein the first main body is slanted along an axis connecting the light source and the transparent portion.
7. The electronic apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the first main body comprises a reflective portion on an inner surface thereof, and the reflective portion is configured to reflect light from the light source to the transparent portion.
8. An electronic apparatus, comprising:
a housing comprising a transparent portion;
a printed circuit board in the housing, the printed circuit board comprising an extending portion which is integrally formed with the printed circuit board;
a light source on the extending portion of the printed circuit board;
a first member on the printed circuit board, the first member comprising a first opening portion surrounding the light source and a portion surrounding an outer edge of the extending portion; and
a second member, which is another component with respect to the housing, apart from the printed circuit board, between the first member and the transparent portion, the second member comprising a second opening portion configured to allow light from the first opening portion to pass therethrough.
9. An electronic apparatus, comprising:
a housing comprising an transparent portion;
a printed circuit board in the housing, the printed circuit board comprising an extending portion;
a light source on the extending portion of the printed circuit board;
a first member on the printed circuit board, the first member comprising a first opening portion surrounding the light source and a portion surrounding an outer edge of the extending portion; and
a second member, apart from the printed circuit board, between the first member and the transparent portion, the second member comprising a second opening portion configured to allow light from the first opening portion to pass therethrough,
wherein:
the first member comprises a duct-shaped first main body defining a periphery of the first opening portion,
the second member comprises a duct-shaped second main body defining a periphery of the second opening portion, and a first overlapping portion and second overlapping portion protruding from the second main body, and
the first main body is interposed between the first overlapping portion and the second overlapping portion.
10. The electronic apparatus of claim 8 , wherein
the second member is in contact with the first member, and
the first opening portion is in communication with the second opening portion.
11. The electronic apparatus of claim 8 , wherein
the printed circuit board comprises a main portion, and
the extending portion projects from the main portion.
12. The electronic apparatus of claim 8 , wherein
the first member comprises a first main body defining a periphery of the first opening portion, and
the portion of the first member which surrounds the outer edge of the extending portion is a protruding portion protruding from the first main body.
13. The electronic apparatus of claim 12 , wherein
the protruding portion comprises an opposing portion opposed to the housing, and
the opposing portion is slanted along an inner surface of the housing.
14. The electronic apparatus of claim 8 , wherein
the first member comprises a first main body defining a periphery of the first opening portion, and
the second member comprises a second main body defining the periphery of the second opening portion and an overlapping portion protruding from the second main body, the overlapping portion overlapping a periphery of the first main body of the first member.
15. The electronic apparatus of claim 8 , wherein
the first member comprises a first main body defining a periphery of the first opening portion,
the transparent portion is oblique with respect to the light source and shifted from a position facing the light source, and
wherein the first main body is slanted along an axis connecting the light source and the transparent portion.
16. The electronic apparatus of claim 8 , wherein
the first member comprises a first main body defining a periphery of the first opening portion, and
