Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes: a chassis member that has a standing wall; a display that is supported by the chassis member and has an outer peripheral edge portion surrounded by the standing wall; a control board that is connected to the display and controls display of the display; and a bezel member that is provided so as to straddle between the standing wall and the display, and is adhesively fixed to front surfaces of the standing wall and the display. A folded portion is provided between the display and the control board and is folded back to a back side of the display so as to wrap around one side of the outer peripheral edge portion of the display.

Claims (39)

1 . An electronic apparatus comprising:

a chassis member that has a standing wall;

a display that is supported by the chassis member and has an outer peripheral edge portion surrounded by the standing wall;

a control board that is connected to the display and controls display of the display; and

a bezel member that is provided so as to straddle between the standing wall and the display, and is adhesively fixed to front surfaces of the standing wall and the display, wherein

a folded portion is provided between the display and the control board and is folded back to a back side of the display so as to wrap around one side of the outer peripheral edge portion of the display,

in a portion along the one side provided with the folded portion, the bezel member

adheres to the standing wall with a first double-sided tape,

adheres to the front surface of the display with a second double-sided tape, and

is provided with a non-adhesive region at a position vertically overlapping the folded portion between the first double-sided tape and the second double-sided tape,

the display includes:

a display body that includes an active region and a non-active region; and

a front surface sheet that is laminated on a front surface of the display body and includes an anti-fingerprint functional layer,

the second double-sided tape adheres the bezel member to the anti-fingerprint function layer, and

the bezel member adheres to the front surfaces of the standing wall and the display with a third double-sided tape extending from the standing wall to the front surface in a portion other than the portion along the one side provided with the folded portion.

2 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the first double-sided tape is a double-sided tape for a structure, and

the second double-sided tape is a double-sided tape for a low front surface energy material.

3 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the display body is formed in a flexible sheet shape, and has an extended portion that is an extension of a part of the non-active region, and

the folded portion is formed in the extended portion.

4 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a flexible board that has a first end portion connected to the display body and a second end portion connected to the control board, wherein

the folded portion is formed in the flexible board.

5 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the third double-sided tape is a double-sided tape for a low front surface energy material.

6 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein

the chassis member has a first chassis member, and a second chassis member that is adjacent to the first chassis member,

the electronic apparatus further includes a hinge device that relatively rotatably connects the first chassis member and the second chassis member between a first posture in which the first chassis member and the second chassis member are laminated so as to overlap each other in a surface normal direction and a second posture in which the first chassis member and the second chassis member are aligned to each other in a direction perpendicular to the surface normal direction,

the display extends over the first chassis member and the second chassis member, and

the folded portion is provided, in the outer peripheral edge portion of the display, on a side other than a side along the direction in which the first chassis member and the second chassis member are aligned.

7 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a lens plate a part of which a camera lens is formed, wherein

the bezel member has a notch portion in which a part of the portion provided with the third double-sided tape is notched together with the third double-sided tape,

the camera lens is exposed to a front surface of the bezel member through the notch portion, and

the lens plate is provided with a double-sided tape of the same type as the third double-sided tape on a rear surface other than a portion where the camera lens is formed.

8 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the third double-sided tape has a tape notch portion a part of which is notched,

the electronic apparatus further includes a sheet-shaped member that is fixed to the bezel member so as to fill a portion in which the tape notch portion is formed, and

the sheet-shaped member is not provided with an adhesive material on a contact surface with respect to the front surface of the display.
