Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a circuit board and a circuit component on an upper surface or a lower surface of the circuit board. The circuit component includes a first ceramic capacitor and a second ceramic capacitor. Vibration characteristics of the first ceramic capacitor and a second ceramic capacitor are opposed to each other. The first ceramic capacitor is near the second ceramic capacitor to cause vibrations of the first and second ceramic capacitors to cancel each other.
