  In order to improve the impact resistance of an electronic device, it is conceivable to provide a buffer member for protecting a module such as a display device inside the housing. When such a buffer member is provided, it is difficult to reduce the size of the housing because a mounting space in the housing is taken up by the buffer member in addition to the wiring material such as the cable.

  An object of the present invention is to obtain an electronic device capable of reducing the size of a housing without significantly reducing the assemblability.

  In order to achieve the above object, an electronic apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes a housing having a first wall portion and a second wall portion standing up from the first wall portion, and the housing. A module that is housed and has a side surface facing the second wall, a buffer member interposed between the second wall and the side of the module, and a second wall A wiring member disposed alongside the cushioning member along the standing direction and extending along the side surface portion of the module; and at least a part thereof is provided between the wiring material and the side surface portion of the module; And a holding member for regulating the position of the wiring member.

  According to this configuration, it is possible to reduce the size of the housing without significantly reducing the assemblability.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings applied to a portable computer.
1 to 5 disclose a portable computer 1 as an electronic apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the portable computer 1 includes a main body 2 and a display unit 3. The main body 2 has a main body housing 4. The main body housing 4 supports the keyboard 5 and houses the main circuit board therein.

  The display unit 3 includes a display housing 6 and a display device 7 accommodated in the display housing 6. The display device 7 is an example of a module referred to in the present invention. The display housing 6 is an example of a housing. The display housing 6 has a window portion 6a on the front surface thereof.

  Examples of the display device 7 include a liquid crystal display, a plasma display, an organic electric luminescence display, a surface electric field display, and the like. The display device 7 has a display screen 7a. The display screen 7a is exposed to the outside of the display housing 6 through the window 6a.

  Between the display unit 3 and the main body 2, a pair of hinge portions 8a and 8b are provided for connecting the two. Therefore, the display unit 3 is rotatable between a closed position where the display unit 3 is tilted so as to cover the keyboard 5 and an open position where the display unit 3 stands so as to expose the keyboard 5 and the display screen 7a.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the display device 7 is formed in a rectangular plate shape, and includes a side surface portion 7b and a back surface portion 7c (see FIG. 4) located on the back side of the display screen 7a. A pair of brackets 9 a and 9 b are attached to the left and right side surface portions 7 b of the display device 7. The brackets 9a and 9b include a main body portion 10 along the display device 7, a fixing portion 11 extending from the both ends of the main body portion 10 and extending from the display device 7, and a buffer portion provided between the main body portion 10 and the fixing portion 11. 13.

  The display housing 6 has a boss 12 in a region corresponding to the fixing portion 11 of the brackets 9a and 9b. The fixing portion 11 of the brackets 9a and 9b is fixed to the boss 12 by, for example, screwing. The buffer portion 13 is formed by bending a part of the brackets 9a and 9b and has elasticity. Thereby, when an impact is applied to the display housing 6 from the outside, the display device 7 can be shifted vertically or horizontally with respect to the display housing 6.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the display housing 6 includes a cover 15 and a mask 16. The cover 15 has a back wall 21, a peripheral wall 22, and a plurality of ribs 23. The back wall 21 is an example of a first wall portion referred to in the present invention. The rib 23 is an example of a second wall portion.

  The back wall 21 is formed to be slightly larger than the outer shape of the display device 7 and faces the back surface portion 7 c of the display device 7. The peripheral wall 22 stands up from four peripheral edges of the back wall 21 formed in a rectangular shape. In other words, the cover 15 is formed in a bowl shape whose front is open to the outside.

As shown in FIG. 4, the rib 23 stands up from an area located between the peripheral wall 22 and the display device 7 in the back wall 21. The rib 23 is provided independently of the peripheral wall 22 and stands up in the same direction as the peripheral wall 22. The ribs 23 are opposed to the left and right side surfaces 7 b of the display device 7. The display housing 6 has a double wall structure surrounding the display device 7 by the cooperation of the peripheral wall 22 and the rib 23.
As shown in FIG. 2, hinge brackets 25 a and 25 b are attached to the cover 15. As for an example of hinge bracket 25a, 25b, while the one end part is attached to the hinge apparatus of hinge part 8a, 8b, the other end part is extended along the surrounding wall 22 of the cover 15. FIG.

  The mask 16 has a front wall 27 in which the window portion 6a is opened, and a peripheral wall 28 extending from the periphery of the front wall 27 toward the cover 15. The mask 16 is combined with the cover 15 and forms a space for accommodating the display device 7 between the mask 16 and the cover 15. The mask 16 sandwiches the display device 7 between the cover 15 and closes the inside of the display housing 6 from the outside. The display housing 6 is formed in a box shape by the cooperation of the cover 15 and the mask 16.

  For example, a plurality of antennas 31, cables 32, buffer members 33, and holding members 34 are accommodated in the display housing 6. An example of the antenna 31 is a wireless LAN antenna or a Bluetooth antenna. The plurality of antennas 31 are attached to a region to be an upper portion of the display housing 6 when the display housing 6 is raised with respect to the main body 2. A cable 32 is electrically connected to each antenna 31. The cable 32 is an example of a wiring material. The cable 32 extends from the antenna 31 toward the main body 2 in order to guide a signal to the main body 2.

  Next, the buffer member 33 will be described with reference to FIGS. An example of the buffer member 33 is a rubber member formed in a rectangular shape. However, the buffer member 33 is not limited to this. The buffer member 33 may be, for example, another elastic member or the like, and any type can be used as long as the shock applied to the display device 7 can be reduced. For example, the same number of buffer members 33 as the number of ribs 23 are prepared and fixed to the surfaces of the ribs 23. An example of a method for fixing the buffer member 33 is a double-sided tape 35.

  The buffer member 33 is interposed between the side surface portion 7 b of the display device 7 and the rib 23. The buffer member 33 is formed smaller than the height of the rib 23, and is attached to the tip of the rib 23, for example. For this reason, a space S is formed between the buffer member 33 and the back wall 21 of the cover 15. An example of the buffer member 33 is formed larger than the wiring outline of the cable 32. The wiring outline of the cable 32 is the diameter when the cable 32 is single, and the outline necessary for routing the cables 32 when there are a plurality of cables 32 (the plurality of cables 32 are arranged in the thickness direction of the buffer member 33 (in FIG. 4 , The horizontal direction) is the sum of the diameters of the plurality of cables 32, and when the plurality of cables 32 are arranged in the standing direction of the rib 23, the diameter of the thicker cable 32).

  As shown in FIG. 4, the cable 32 is arranged alongside the buffer member 33 along the rising direction of the rib 23 (that is, the thickness direction of the display device 7 (the vertical direction in FIG. 4)). Specifically, the cable 32 extends in the space S formed between the buffer member 33 and the back wall 21 of the cover 15. As shown in FIG. 2, the cable 32 extends along the side surface portion 7 b of the display device 7 through a space S formed between the plurality of buffer members 33 and the back wall 21.

  An example of the holding member 34 is a flexible sheet-like member formed of a PET (polyethylene terephtalate) material, various film materials, a glass tape, or the like. However, the holding member 34 is not limited thereto, and may be, for example, an adhesive tape, and the type thereof is not limited.

  The holding member 34 has a central portion 34a, a first end portion 34b, and a second end portion 34c. As shown in FIG. 4, the central portion 34 a is provided between the cable 32 and the side surface portion 7 b of the display device 7 and faces the cable 32. The first end portion 34 b extends from the end of the central portion 34 a along the buffer member 33 and is fixed to the buffer member 33. The second end portion 34 c extends from the end of the central portion 34 a so as to bend along the back wall 21 of the cover 15 and is fixed to the back wall 21.

An example of a method for fixing the first and second end portions 34b and 34c is a double-sided tape 35. For example, when a sticky tape is used as the holding member 34, the double-sided tape 35 is not necessary.
The holding member 34 holds the cable 32 with the cover 15. The holding member 34 regulates the position of the cable 32 so that the cable 32 does not come out of the area surrounded by the cover 15, the buffer member 33, and the holding member 34.

  Next, an example of a method for assembling the portable computer 1 will be described with reference to FIG. In a state before the display device 7 is attached to the cover 15, the buffer member 33 is first attached to the rib 23. The antenna 31 is attached to the cover 15 before or after the buffer member 33 is attached to the rib 23, and the cable 32 extending from the antenna 31 is routed through the space S between the buffer member 33 and the back wall 21.

The holding member 34 is attached after the cable 32 is routed or simultaneously with the operation of routing the cable 32. That is, in a state where the cable 32 is stored in the space S between the buffer member 33 and the back wall 21, the first end portion 34b of the holding member 34 is attached to the buffer member 33 and the second end portion 34c is covered. Affixed to 15 back walls 21. As a result, the position of the cable 32 is regulated within a region surrounded by the holding member 34, the buffer member 33, and the cover 15.
After restricting the position of the cable 32, the display device 7 is attached to the cover 15. Specifically, the fixing portion 11 of the brackets 9 a and 9 b is screwed to the boss 12 of the cover 15. Finally, the mask 16 is combined with the cover 15.

Next, the operation of the portable computer 1 will be described.
For example, when the portable computer 1 is accidentally dropped on a desk or floor, an impact is applied to the display unit 3. The impact applied to the display unit 3 is applied to the display device 7 from the display housing 6 via the brackets 9a and 9b. At this time, the buffer device 13 of the brackets 9 a and 9 b is elastically deformed, so that the display device 7 is displaced inside the display housing 6.

  For example, when the display device 7 is displaced in the width direction of the display housing 6, the buffer member 33 in the direction in which the display device 7 is displaced elastically deforms and supports the display device 7. Thus, a part of the impact applied from the display housing 6 to the display device 7 is absorbed by elastic deformation of the buffer member 33 and the buffer part 13 of the brackets 9a and 9b. Thereby, the portable computer 1 has robustness.

  According to the portable computer 1 having such a configuration, the space necessary for accommodating the buffer member 33 and the cable 32 is reduced, and thus the display housing 6 can be downsized. In the present embodiment, the cable 32 is arranged along with the buffer member 33 along the rising direction of the rib 23. That is, the cable 32 is arranged using a space necessary for arranging the buffer member 33. Thereby, the cable 32 can be arrange | positioned inside the rib 23 (namely, the display unit 3 side).

  If the cable 32 can be arranged inside the rib 23, it is not necessary to secure a space for arranging the cable 32 between the rib 23 and the peripheral wall 22 of the display housing 6, and a gap between the rib 23 and the peripheral wall 22 is eliminated. Can be reduced. The gap between the rib 23 and the peripheral wall 22 can be reduced to such an extent that the hinge brackets 25a and 25b can be attached, for example. Further, when the hinge brackets 25a and 25b are of a type that does not extend along the peripheral wall 22, the gap can be further reduced.

  If the gap between the rib 23 and the peripheral wall 22 can be reduced, the outer shape of the display housing 6 can be made smaller than the outer shape of the display device 7. When the cable 32 extends along the side surface portion 7b (in other words, the cable 32 does not overlap the front surface portion or the back surface portion 7c of the display device 7), the display housing 6 can be thinned.

  When the holding member 34 is provided between the cable 32 and the display device 7, there is almost no possibility that the cable 32 protrudes from the space S between the buffer member 33 and the back wall 21 to the display device 7 side. That is, the cable 32 does not get in the way when the display device 7 is fixed to the cover 15. Therefore, even if the cable 32 is disposed inside the rib 23, the assembling property of the portable computer 1 is hardly deteriorated.

  The holding member 34 regulates the position of the cable 32 only by fixing the end portions 34b and 34c thereof to the buffer member 33 or the back wall 21, respectively. That is, the position of the cable 32 is regulated by the holding member 34 having a simple structure as in the present embodiment by using the side surface 33a (the lower surface in FIG. 4) of the buffer member 33 for regulating the position of the cable 32. be able to. This contributes to assembling and cost reduction of the portable computer 1.

  When the thickness of the buffer member 33 is larger than the outer shape of the cable 32, the cable 32 can have a gap between the side surface portion 7 b of the display device 7 and at least one of the ribs 23. When an impact is applied to the display unit 3, the buffer member 33 is compressed. However, if there is a space around the cable 32, the cable 32 may be sandwiched between the rib 23 and the display device 7 and damaged. Get smaller. That is, the cable 32 is not easily disconnected when an impact is applied to the display unit 3, and the portable computer 1 with high reliability can be obtained.

  If the cable 32 is disposed between the buffer member 33 and the back wall 21, the cable 32 is hidden behind the buffer member 33 when the mask 16 is attached to and detached from the cover 15. It is hard to become. When the cable 32 is routed along the back wall 21, the cable 32 does not get in the way compared to the case where the cable 32 is floating in the air. These contribute to the improvement of the assembling property of the portable computer 1.

  If the display housing 6 has a rib 23 separately from the peripheral wall 22 and the rib 23 supports the display device 7 via the buffer member 33, the impact applied to the peripheral wall 22 is not easily transmitted directly to the display device 7. This contributes to improving the reliability of the portable computer 1.

  Next, a portable computer 41 as an electronic apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the structure which has the same function as the portable computer 1 which concerns on 1st Embodiment attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits the description. The portable computer 41 accommodates, for example, a plurality of antennas 31, cables 32, buffer members 33, and holding members 34 inside the display unit 3.

  The buffer member 33 is interposed between the side surface portion 7 b of the display device 7 and the rib 23. The buffer member 33 is formed smaller than the height of the rib 23. The buffer member 33 is attached to the base portion of the rib 23, for example. For this reason, a space S is formed between the buffer member 33 and the mask 16.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the cable 32 is arranged alongside the buffer member 33 along the rising direction of the rib 23. Specifically, the cable 32 extends in the space S formed between the buffer member 33 and the mask 16.

  The holding member 34 has a central portion 34a, a first end portion 34b, and a second end portion 34c. The first end portion 34 b extends from the end of the central portion 34 a along the rib 23 and is fixed to the rib 23. The second end portion 34 c extends from the end of the central portion 34 a along the buffer member 33 and is fixed to the buffer member 33.

  According to the portable computer 41 having such a configuration, the space necessary for accommodating the buffer member 33 and the cable 32 is reduced, and thus the display housing 6 can be reduced in size. In the present embodiment, the cable 32 is arranged along with the buffer member 33 along the rising direction of the rib 23. That is, since the cable 32 is arranged using a space necessary for arranging the buffer member 33, the display housing 6 can be reduced in size for the same reason as the portable computer 41 according to the first embodiment. it can. When the holding member 34 is provided, the position of the cable 32 is regulated, so that the assembling property of the portable computer 41 is hardly deteriorated.

  For example, when the cable 32 is arranged after the buffer member 33 is fixed, the cable 32 can be easily attached when the cable 32 is arranged between the buffer member 33 and the mask 16. That is, it is not necessary to place the cable 32 behind the buffer member 33. This contributes to an improvement in the assembling property of the portable computer 41.

  Next, a portable computer 51 as an electronic apparatus according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the structure which has the same function as the portable computer 1 which concerns on 1st Embodiment attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits the description. In the portable computer 51, for example, a plurality of antennas 31, cables 32, first buffer members 52, second buffer members 53, and holding members 34 are accommodated in the display unit 3, respectively.

  An example of the first and second buffer members 52 and 53 is a rubber member formed in a rectangular shape, like the buffer member 33 according to the first embodiment. The first and second buffer members 52 and 53 are provided apart from each other along the rising direction of the rib 23. For example, the first buffer member 52 is attached to the tip of the rib 23. The second buffer member 53 is attached to the root portion of the rib 23. A space S is formed between the first buffer member 52 and the second buffer member 53.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the cable 32 is arranged alongside the first and second buffer members 52 and 53 along the rising direction of the rib 23. Specifically, the cable 32 extends in the space S formed between the first and second buffer members 52 and 53.

  According to the portable computer 51 having such a configuration, the space required for accommodating the buffer members 52 and 53 and the cable 32 is reduced, and the display housing 6 can be downsized. In the present embodiment, the cable 32 is arranged along with the first and second buffer members 52 and 53 along the rising direction of the rib 23. That is, since the cable 32 is arranged using a space necessary for arranging the buffer members 52 and 53, the display housing 6 is reduced in size for the same reason as the portable computer 1 according to the first embodiment. be able to. When the holding member 34 is provided, the position of the cable 32 is regulated, so that the assembling property of the portable computer 1 is hardly deteriorated.

  When the cable 32 is disposed between the first and second buffer members 52 and 53, the cable 32 is connected to the side surface 52a (the lower surface in FIG. 7) of the first buffer member 52 and the second buffer member. Since the position is also restricted by the side surface 53a of 53 (the upper surface in FIG. 7), the cable 32 is unlikely to come off the restricted position. When the cable 32 is disposed between the first and second buffer members 52 and 53, the cable 32 is protected by the first and second buffer members 52 and 53, and is not easily broken.

  Next, a portable computer 61 as an electronic apparatus according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, the structure which has the same function as the portable computer 1 which concerns on 1st Embodiment attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits the description. The portable computer 61 accommodates, for example, a plurality of antennas 31, cables 32, buffer members 33, and holding members 62 in the display unit 3.

  The buffer member 33 is formed smaller than the height of the rib 23. The buffer member 33 is attached to the height of the tip of the rib 23, for example. For this reason, a space S is formed between the buffer member 33 and the back wall 21 of the cover 15. As shown in FIG. 8, the cable 32 is arranged alongside the buffer member 33 along the rising direction of the rib 23. Specifically, the cable 32 extends in the space S formed between the buffer member 33 and the back wall 21 of the cover 15.

  The holding member 62 has a center portion 62a, a first end portion 62b, and a second end portion 62c. The central portion 62a faces the cable 32 from the opposite side of the buffer member 33. The first end portion 62 b extends from the end of the central portion 62 a toward the buffer member 33 and is fixed to one surface of the buffer member 33. The second end portion 62c extends from the end of the central portion 62a toward the buffer member 33 and is fixed to a surface opposite to the surface to which the first end portion 62b is attached. The holding member 62 surrounds the cable 32 in cooperation with the buffer member 33 and holds the cable 32 with the buffer member 33.

  Next, an example of a method for assembling the portable computer 61 will be described with reference to FIGS. The buffer member 33 is unitized with the cable 32 before being fixed to the rib 23. Specifically, the holding member 62 is attached to the buffer member 33 so as to wrap the cable 32, and the cable 32 and the buffer member 33 are combined. After combining the cable 32 and the buffer member 33, the buffer member 33 is attached to the rib 23.

  According to the portable computer 61 having such a configuration, the space required for accommodating the buffer member 33 and the cable 32 is reduced, and the display housing 6 can be downsized. In the present embodiment, the cable 32 is arranged along with the buffer member 33 along the rising direction of the rib 23. That is, since the cable 32 is arranged using a space necessary for arranging the buffer member 33, the display housing 6 can be reduced in size for the same reason as the portable computer 1 according to the first embodiment. . When the holding member 62 is provided, the position of the cable 32 is regulated, so that the assembling property of the portable computer 61 is hardly deteriorated.

  When the holding member 62 surrounding the cable 32 is provided in cooperation with the buffer member 33, the buffer member 33 and the cable 32 can be combined in advance. The buffer member 33 and the cable 32 can be easily arranged by putting the buffer member 33 and the cable 32 together before attaching the buffer member 33 to the rib 23. That is, the cable 32 and the buffer member 33 can be easily arranged along the rising direction of the rib 23. This contributes to an improvement in the assembling property of the portable computer 61.

  As another example of the method of assembling the portable computer 61, the cable 32 is disposed after the buffer member 33 is attached to the rib 23 so that the second end 62c of the holding member 62 is sandwiched therebetween, and then the cable 32 is disposed. The first end portion 62 b of the holding member 62 may be attached to the buffer member 33.

  FIG. 11 shows a modification of the portable computer 61 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Similar effects can be achieved by the portable computer 61 shown in FIG. In the assembling method of the portable computer 61 shown in FIG. 11, the buffer member 33 and the cable 32 may be assembled in advance before the buffer member 33 is attached to the rib 23. Alternatively, the cable 32 may be disposed after the buffer member 33 is attached to the rib 23 so that the end 62c of the holding member 62 is sandwiched therebetween, and then the end 62b of the holding member 62 may be attached to the buffer member 33.

  Next, a portable computer 71 as an electronic apparatus according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, the structure which has the same function as the portable computer 1 which concerns on 1st Embodiment attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits the description. The portable computer 71 accommodates, for example, a plurality of antennas 31, cables 32, and buffer members 72 in the display unit 3.

  The buffer member 72 has a main body portion 73 and a holding portion 74. The main body portion 73 and the holding portion 74 are each a rubber member, for example, and are integrally formed. However, the buffer member 72 is not limited to this, and any type can be used as long as it can reduce the impact applied to the display device 7.

  The main body 73 of the buffer member 72 is interposed between the side surface 7 b of the display device 7 and the rib 23. The main body 73 is formed smaller than the height of the rib 23. The main body 73 is attached to the tip of the rib 23, for example. The holding part 74 protrudes from the main body part 73 toward the back wall 21 along the rising direction of the rib 23. An example of the holding portion 74 has a pair of holding members 75a and 75b formed in a tongue shape. The cable 32 is clamped by the pair of holding members 75a and 75b and the position thereof is regulated. The cable 32 is supported by the holding members 75 a and 75 b and extends along the side surface portion 7 b of the display device 7.

  The thickness of the holding part 74 is smaller than the thickness of the main body part 73. The holding portion 74 has a gap between at least one of the rib 23 and the side surface portion 7 b of the display device 7. Although the holding part 74 according to the present embodiment has a gap between the side part 7 b of the display device 7, the holding part 74 may have a gap with the rib 23 instead. Moreover, you may leave a clearance gap between both.

  Next, an example of a method for assembling the portable computer 71 will be described with reference to FIGS. Before attaching the buffer member 72 to the rib 23, the cable 32 is held by the holding portion 74. As shown in FIG. 14, the cable 32 is attached integrally with the buffer member 72 by attaching the buffer member 72 holding the cable 32 to the rib 23.

  According to the portable computer 71 having such a configuration, the space required for accommodating the buffer member 72 and the cable 32 is reduced, and the display housing 6 can be downsized. In the present embodiment, the cable 32 and the buffer member 72 are arranged side by side along the rising direction of the rib 23. That is, since the cable 32 is arranged using the space necessary for arranging the buffer member 72, the display housing 6 can be downsized for the same reason as the portable computer 1 according to the first embodiment. . When the holding portion 74 is provided, the position of the cable 32 is regulated, so that the assembling property of the portable computer 71 is hardly deteriorated.

  When the buffer member 72 having the holding portion 74 is used, the buffer member 72 and the cable 32 can be assembled together in advance. The buffer member 72 and the cable 32 can be easily arranged by putting the buffer member 72 and the cable 32 together before attaching the buffer member 72 to the rib 23. That is, the cable 32 and the buffer member 72 can be easily arranged along the rising direction of the rib 23. This contributes to an improvement in the assembling property of the portable computer 71.

  In particular, when the holding portion 74 has elasticity and is formed integrally with the main body portion 73, when the cable 32 is attached to the holding portion 74, no other holding member or attachment member such as a double-sided tape is required. This contributes to an improvement in the assembling property of the portable computer 71.

  When the thickness of the holding portion 74 is smaller than the thickness of the main body portion 73, the holding portion 74 can have a gap between at least one of the side surface portion 7 b and the rib 23 of the display device 7. When the impact is applied to the display unit 3, the main body 73 is compressed, but if there is a space around the holding part 74, the holding part 74 is sandwiched between the rib 23 and the display device 7, and the cable The risk of damage to 32 is reduced. Thereby, the highly reliable portable computer 71 can be obtained.

  If the cable 32 is disposed between the main body 73 of the buffer member 72 and the back wall 21, the cable 32 is hidden behind the buffer member 72 when the mask 16 is attached to and detached from the cover 15. The cable 32 is unlikely to get in the way. When the cable 32 is routed along the back wall 21, the cable 32 does not get in the way compared to the case where the cable 32 is floating in the air.

  A modification of the portable computer 71 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Similar effects can be achieved by the portable computer 71 shown in FIG. In the assembling method of the portable computer 71 shown in FIG. 15, the cable 32 may be attached to the holding portion 74 before the buffer member 72 is attached to the rib 23. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 16, the cable 32 may be disposed after the buffer member 72 is attached to the rib 23. In the portable computer 71 having such a configuration, the work of placing the cable 32 behind the buffer member 72 is not necessary, so that the assemblability is improved.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the portable computer 81 accommodates, for example, a plurality of antennas 31, cables 32, buffer members 33, and holding members 62 in the display unit 3. The buffer member 62 is interposed between the side surface portion 7 b of the display device 7 and the peripheral wall 22 of the display housing 6. Note that the portable computer 81 may include the buffer member 34 instead of the buffer member 62.

  As illustrated in FIG. 18, the portable computer 91 accommodates, for example, a plurality of antennas 31, cables 32, and buffer members 72 in the display unit 3. The buffer member 72 is interposed between the side surface portion 7 b of the display device 7 and the peripheral wall 22 of the display housing 6.

  According to the portable computers 81 and 91 configured as described above, the space required to accommodate the buffer members 33 and 72 and the cable 32 is reduced, and the display housing 6 can be downsized. In the present embodiment, the cable 32 and the buffer members 33 and 72 are arranged along the rising direction of the rib 23. That is, since the cable 32 is arranged using a space necessary for arranging the buffer members 33 and 72, the display housing 6 can be reduced in size for the same reason as the portable computer 1 according to the first embodiment. Can do.

The portable computers 81 and 91 have a holding portion 74 provided on the holding member 62 or the buffer member 72. As a result, portable computers 81 and 91 that do not significantly deteriorate the assembling property can be obtained for the same reason as the portable computers 1 and 71 according to the first or fifth embodiment.
When the buffer members 33 and 72 are attached to the peripheral wall 22 instead of the ribs 23, the outer shape of the display housing 6 can be further reduced with respect to the outer shape of the display device 7.

  Although the portable computers 1, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91 according to the first to seventh embodiments have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. The components of each embodiment can be used in appropriate combination. For example, in the portable computers 81 and 91 according to the sixth and seventh embodiments, instead of holding the cable 32 between the buffer members 62 and 72 and the mask 16, the buffer members 62 and 72 and the back wall 21 You may hold between.

  The wiring material according to the present invention may be, for example, an interface cable for a web camera module or another cable, and the type thereof is not limited. The shape of the holding members 34 and 62 is not limited, and can be appropriately adopted according to the types of the buffer members 33 and 72 and the cable 32. The present invention can be applied not only to the left and right ends of the display unit 3 but also to a cable extending to the upper and lower ends of the display unit 3 and a cable extending to the inside of the main body 2.

  The buffer members 33 and 72 are not limited to being fixed to the display housing 6, and may be fixed to the display device 7, for example. The electronic device to which the present invention can be applied is not limited to a portable computer and can be applied to various electronic devices.
