It is possible to prevent a force from being applied to the connector 86 located on the end side, and it is possible to prevent the connection between the flat cable 80 and the relay board 77 (the cable side connector 80B and the board side connector 78).

  On the other hand, the portion of the flat cable 80 closer to the connector 85 on the side substrate 74 side is between the first clamping portion 81, that is, the first plate-like wall portion 66 of the fixed plate 63 and the support flat surface H of the side substrate 74. A portion closer to the connector 85 than the first sandwiching portion 81 is sandwiched between the second sandwiching portion 82, that is, the second plate-like wall portion 67 and the planar member 83. The first sandwiching portion 81 and the second sandwiching portion 82 are arranged so as to be shifted from each other in the direction orthogonal to the support flat surface H of the side substrate 74 (the height difference is provided), and the flat cable 80 is 1 It protrudes so that it may leave | separate from the support flat surface H of the side board | substrate 74 between the clamping part 81 and the connector 85. As shown in FIG. That is, the two portions of the flat cable 80 near one end and the portion near the connector 85 are sandwiched between “surfaces”, and the flat cable 80 is an intermediate portion between the first sandwiching portion 81 and the connector 85. Since the second sandwiching portion 82 is bent, it is possible to prevent a force from being applied to the connector 85 positioned on the terminal side of the second sandwiching portion 82. That is, even if the flat cable 80 bends and stretches as described above or the flat cable 80 is pulled away from the board-side connector 75 (upward), the flat cable 80 and the side board 74 (the cable-side connector 80A) It is possible to reliably prevent the connection with the board side connector 75) from being released.

  Furthermore, the planar member 83 that sandwiches the flat cable 80 between the second sandwiching portion 82 and the second plate-like wall portion 67 is a sheet-like member that is affixed to the fixed plate 63. The attaching / detaching operation, that is, the operation of holding and releasing the flat cable 80 by the second holding unit 82 can be performed relatively easily. Moreover, since the planar member 83 is pasted across the second plate-like wall portion 67 and the connector 85, the connecting portion between the flat cable 80 and the connector 85 can be protected by the planar member 83.

Here, “a plane parallel to the support flat surface” means “the support flat surface” itself. That is, one of “a pair of planes” parallel to the support flat surface may be a “support flat surface”.
In the case of the configuration of [1], the flat cable extends along the support flat surface of the cable connecting part, and a portion near one end of the flat cable is sandwiched between a pair of planes parallel to the support flat surface, Further, the portion closer to the connector than the sandwiching portion (first sandwiching portion) is sandwiched between a pair of planes parallel to the support flat surface (second sandwiching portion). Then, a height difference is provided between the first sandwiching portion and the second sandwiching portion, and the flat cable is raised or depressed on the side away from the support flat surface in the middle between the first sandwiching portion and the connector. That is, two portions of the flat cable closer to one end and the portion closer to the connector are sandwiched by “surfaces”, and the flat cable has a bent portion at an intermediate portion between the end closer to the one end and the connector. Even if the flat cable is deformed between the pair of cable connecting parts or the flat cable is pulled, it is difficult to apply a force to the connector-connected portion. Thereby, it becomes possible to prevent the connection between the cable connecting part and the flat cable.
