Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a housing, a module in the housing, and an electrical interconnection. The housing includes a first portion, a second portion including a step between the first portion and the second potion, and a slope between the first portion and the second portion. The electrical interconnection extends from the first portion to the second portion via the slope and is electrically connected to the module.

Claims (27)

1. A television comprising:

a housing comprising a first portion at a first height, a second portion at a second height different from the first height, a slope between the first portion and the second portion, and an opening adjacent to the second portion;

a connector on the second portion of the housing, the connector being accessible through the opening; and

a wiring pattern comprising a conductive adhesive on an inner surface of the housing, extending from the first portion to the second portion via the slope and electrically connected to the connector,

wherein the slope comprises at least one of a protrusion and a recess that are located in a region to which the conductive adhesive is applied, that are brought into contact with the wiring pattern, and that have a longitudinal direction along an extension direction of the wiring pattern,

wherein a surface roughness of the slope is greater than a surface roughness of the second portion.

2. The television of claim 1 ,

wherein the first portion comprises at least one of a protrusion and a recess to which the conductive adhesive is attached.

3. The television of claim 1 ,

wherein the slope comprises a first curved portion connected to the first portion, and a second curved portion connected to the second portion.

4. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a housing comprising a first portion at a first height, a second portion at a second height different from the first height, and a slope between the first portion and the second portion;

a module in the housing; and

a wiring pattern extending from the first portion to the second portion via the slope and electrically connected to the module,

wherein the slope comprises at least one of a protrusion and a recess that are covered with the wiring pattern and that have a longitudinal direction along a direction from the first portion to the second portion,

wherein the housing comprises a bottom wall and an opening, the first portion is a portion of the bottom wall, and the second portion is a portion of the bottom wall, which is located in vicinity of the opening.

5. The electronic apparatus of claim 4 ,

wherein the slope comprises a first curved portion connected to the first portion, and a second curved portion connected to the second portion.

6. The electronic apparatus of claim 4 ,

wherein at least a portion of the module is a connector exposed through the opening.

7. The electronic apparatus of claim 4 ,

wherein

the housing comprises a cover and a base, and

at least one of the cover and the base comprises a peripheral wall, the peripheral wall comprising the opening.

8. The electronic apparatus of claim 4 ,

wherein

the housing has a flat shape, and the first portion is located at a flat portion of the bottom wall of the housing.
