Electronic apparatus
View Patent ↗An electronic apparatus in one embodiment is brought to a tablet state, in which a first housing having antennas and a display unit is placed over a second housing having an electrically conductive member and allows input from the display unit. In the tablet state, a part of one of the antennas is over the electrically conductive member.
1. An electronic apparatus comprising: a first housing comprising: a display unit comprising an input function, and a display surface for the display unit; a second housing comprising an operation unit comprising an electrically conductive member, and an operation surface for the operation unit; and a connecting mechanism detachably connecting the first housing and the second housing, and allowing the first and the second housing to rotate relatively to each other while the first and the second housing being detachably connected to each other, wherein the first housing comprises antennas for wireless communication at locations evading the display unit, the connecting mechanism is configured to connect the first housing to the second housing allowing the display surface to come close to the operation surface, in an open state allowing an operation through the operation unit, and to connect the first housing reversely to the second housing making the display surface point in one direction and the operation surface point in another direction opposite to the one direction, in a tablet state allowing an operation through the display unit, a part of one of the antennas is configured to be over the electrically conductive member in the tablet state, the part of the one of the antennas comprises a feedpoint, the operation surface is electrically non-conductive except for an area of the electrically conductive member, the one of the antennas is covered with the electrically non-conductive operation surface in the tablet state and in a closed state except for the part of the one of the antennas, and the one of the antennas is a multiband antenna, and the lowest frequency among the frequencies supported by the one of the antennas is higher than any other frequencies supported by the remaining antennas.
2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second housing further comprises a keyboard and a palmrest, and the operation unit is disposed on the palmrest.
3. The electronic apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the operation unit comprises one of a touchpad and a button.
4. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the part of the one of the antennas is disposed in an area weakest in electric field.
5. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one of the antennas is constructed as an antenna for a wireless system using a highest frequency among wireless systems accommodated by the first housing.
6. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one of the antennas is constructed as an antenna suitable for the shortest wavelength among wireless systems in the first housing.
7. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first housing comprises the display surface and a back surface opposite to the display surface, and the one of the antennas is disposed away from the display surface and close to the back surface.
8. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one of the antennas overlaps the electrically conductive member in the closed state in which the first housing is connected to and placed on the second housing allowing the display surface to come close to the operation surface.
9. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first housing functions as a tablet device operated by touching the display surface upon separated from the second housing.
10. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive member is formed as a touch operation unit operated by touching the electrically conductive member in the open state.
