Abstract

In one embodiment, a television receiver includes a housing, and a supporting member accommodated in the housing, including a first supporting surface, a second supporting surface located on an opposite side of the first supporting surface, a first end portion, a second end portion located on an opposite side of the first end portion, a third end portion connecting the first and second end portions, and a fourth end portion located on an opposite side of the third end portion, and including a plurality of openings penetrating from the first supporting surface to the second supporting surface. In addition, the supporting member includes a beam provided between the openings, and the beam includes a first beam portion which is parallel to the first or third end portion, and a second beam portion which is not parallel to the first and third end portions.

Claims (32)

1. A electronic device comprising:

a housing;

a supporting member accommodated in the housing, including a first supporting surface, a second supporting surface located on an opposite side of the first supporting surface, a first end portion, a second end portion located on an opposite side of the first end portion, a third end portion connecting the first and second end portions, and a fourth end portion located on an opposite side of the third end portion, and including a plurality of openings penetrating from the first supporting surface to the second supporting surface;

a first electronic component disposed on the first supporting surface of the supporting member;

a second electronic component disposed on the second supporting surface of the supporting member; and

a battery disposed on the first supporting surface side or the second supporting surface side in the housing, the battery being disposed in a position in which the battery partially overlaps with the supporting member when viewed from a direction of the first supporting surface,

wherein

the supporting member includes a beam provided between the openings,

the beam includes a first beam portion which is parallel to the first or third end portion, and a second beam portion which is not parallel to the first and third end portions,

the battery includes a plurality of cells, and a beam provided between the cells,

the beam of the battery includes a third beam portion which is parallel to the first beam portion, and a fourth beam portion which is not parallel to the first beam portion, and

the third beam portion is disposed in a position in which the third beam portion overlaps with the first beam portion when viewed from the direction of the first supporting surface.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the openings of the supporting member comprises at least one opening having a hexagonal shape.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the supporting member comprises:

a first opening having a hexagonal shape;

a second opening having a shape in which a hexagon is cut by a straight line; and

a third opening having a shape which does not correspond to the first and second openings.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the third end portion is shorter than the first end portion, and the first beam portion is parallel to the third end portion.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the supporting member comprises a recess through which a screw is inserted, in one of the first to fourth end portions.

6. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a circuit board disposed on the first supporting surface side or the second supporting surface side in the housing, and including a central processing unit,

wherein the circuit board is disposed in a position in which the circuit board partially overlaps with the supporting member when viewed from a direction of the first supporting surface.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the central processing unit is disposed in a position in which the central processing unit overlaps with one of the first to fourth end portions when viewed from the direction of the first supporting surface.

8. An electronic device comprising:

a housing;

a supporting member accommodated in the housing, including a first supporting surface, and a second supporting surface located on an opposite side of the first supporting surface, and including a plurality of openings penetrating from the first supporting surface to the second supporting surface; and

a battery disposed on the first supporting surface side or the second supporting surface side in the housing, the battery being disposed in a position in which the battery partially overlaps with the supporting member when viewed from a direction of the first supporting surface,

wherein

the supporting member includes a beam provided between the openings,

the beam includes first and second beam portions which are neither parallel nor perpendicular to each other,

the battery includes a plurality of cells, and a beam provided between the cells,

the beam of the battery includes a third beam portion which is parallel to the first beam portion, and a fourth beam portion which is not parallel to the first beam portion, and

the third beam portion is disposed in a position in which the third beam portion overlaps with the first beam portion when viewed from the direction of the first supporting surface.
