Claims (18)

1. A tablet terminal comprising:

a rectangular apparatus body including a front side, a back side opposite the front side, and a perimeter side that extends between the front side and the back side;

a touch-screen display unit disposed at and forming a portion of the front side of the rectangular apparatus body; and

a battery pack including a battery cell incorporated therein and including a rounded outer shape,

wherein the battery pack is mounted on the perimeter side of the rectangular apparatus body in an arrangement in which the display unit and the battery cell do not overlap with each other and such that a front side of the battery pack appears to be part of the front side of the rectangular apparatus body.

2. The tablet terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the battery cell includes a cylindrical shape, and the battery pack includes an outer shape rounded corresponding to the roundness of the outer shape of the battery cell.

3. The tablet terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the perimeter side is on a downside in the direction of gravitational force when the electronic apparatus is supported.

7. The tablet terminal according to claim 5 , wherein a pair of wall members configured to clamp the connector of the battery pack from the longitudinal direction of the battery pack are provided on both sides of a connector of the apparatus body.

8. The tablet terminal according to claim 1 , wherein a shoulder portion extending in the longitudinal direction of the battery pack is provided at a portion where the battery pack is connected to the apparatus body.

9. The tablet terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the shoulder portion is an inclined surface formed on a back surface of the battery pack.

10. The tablet terminal according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a supporting member provided on the apparatus body and configured to support the apparatus body so as not to slip on a surface where the apparatus body is placed, wherein the supporting member includes a curved portion curved corresponding to the roundness of the battery pack.
