Description

  The present invention relates to a portable information device that is carried and used, and relates to a structure of a portable information device that is reduced in size and thickness.

  Conventionally, as a method for realizing miniaturization and thinning of a portable information device or the like, the arrangement in the housing has been devised.

  For example, Patent Document 1 describes a structure that does not increase the thickness of the entire device by concentrating and arranging thick parts in an electronic book on a central hinge portion that originally secures the thickness.

Patent Document 2 describes a combination of a storage medium and a battery arrangement method in an electronic portable device so that the entire apparatus does not become thick.
JP 2001-1000066 A JP 2005-039462 A

  However, the above-described conventional technology only suppresses the thickness of the entire apparatus by placing components centrally in a place where the thickness is originally secured or changing the arrangement position of the components.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and in order to place high-height parts, an angle is provided in the internal structure to secure a space, and the entire apparatus is reduced in size and thickness. An object of the present invention is to provide a portable information device that can be used.

  In order to solve the above problems, in the portable information device of the invention according to claim 1, a display device, a first exterior surface on which the display device is disposed, and a second exterior surface facing the first exterior surface. The thickness of the housing in the direction in which the one side of the second exterior surface facing the one side of the first exterior surface is substantially parallel and the first exterior surface and the second exterior surface are opposed to each other Are different.

  The portable information device of the invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that an operation button is further provided on the first exterior surface.

  The portable information device of the invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that a part having a thickness is arranged in a portion where the thickness of the casing is thicker than other portions.

  The portable information device of the invention according to claim 4 includes a display device, a first exterior surface on which the display device is disposed, and a second exterior surface facing the first exterior surface, The second one side of the second outer surface facing the first one side of the first outer surface and the second one of the third side of the first outer surface facing the first one side Each set of the fourth one side portion of the exterior surface is substantially parallel, and the length between the first one side portion and the second one side portion and the length between the third one side portion and the fourth one side portion. Are different.

  The portable information device of the invention according to claim 5 is characterized in that an operation button is further provided on the first exterior surface.

  In the portable information device of the invention according to claim 6, the longer one of the length between the first one side and the second one side and the length between the third one side and the fourth one side. A feature is that a part having a thickness is arranged in a housing part.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the portable information apparatus which implement | achieved further thickness reduction can be provided, considering the combination of a structure for thickness reduction, and the originally thick part. In addition, the thinning of the product can be emphasized partially, and the thinning can be emphasized as an overall impression of the product.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is an external view showing a portable information device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 300 is an operation button, 303 is a display device, and 311 is a housing.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the internal structure of the portable information device according to the embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, 301 is a substrate, 302 is an HDD, 304 is a cylindrical battery, 305 is an HDD side space, 306 is a display device side space, 307 is an HDD side angle, 308 is a display device side angle, and 309 is a casing thickness A. , 310 indicates the casing thickness B.

In mobile devices that require "miniaturization and weight reduction" and "excellent usability", the thickness of the main body casing is an important factor and is often required to be as thin as possible.

  In order to reduce the thickness as much as possible, the HDD 302 and the display device 303 are arranged so as to sandwich the substrate 301 inside, and the thickest cylindrical battery 304 is arranged at a position different from these. An operation button 300 is disposed outside the main body.

  In order to reduce the thickness of the main body, the space between the substrate 301 and the HDD 302 and the space between the substrate 301 and the display device 303 may be narrowed. However, a mounting part is disposed on the substrate 301 so that a gap is necessary. It is.

  Some mounted parts have a high height, but a method of reducing the thickness of the entire apparatus by concentrating them in a space that can be secured from the positional relationship with other parts is adopted. However, not all high parts can be conveniently placed, so the thickness of the main body may have to be increased.

  At this time, instead of increasing the thickness of the entire apparatus as in the present invention, by providing a space where parts with a high height can be arranged by providing an angle to the arrangement, the thickness of the apparatus is increased as much as possible. Can be suppressed.

  FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram when the internal structure of the portable information device according to the present embodiment is viewed from above. An angle 307 is provided between the substrate 301 and the HDD 302, and an angle 308 is provided between the substrate 301 and the display device 303. As a result, it becomes possible to arrange components with height in the HDD side space portion 305 and the display device side space portion 306, and the case thickness A309 does not increase the thickness compared to the case thickness B310. It can be constructed as a device with no thickness.

  In the portable information device according to the present embodiment, it is possible to partially reduce the thickness by arranging the internal components at an angle without increasing the thickness of the entire apparatus.

  Thereby, a thin portable information device with excellent portability can be realized.
