Description

   Electronic device   

The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic device having a detachable unit.

Because of electromagnetic shielding (EMI) considerations and safety issues, general electronic devices are subject to considerable restrictions on the design of heat dissipation holes and the choice of housing materials. For example, the casing of the mainframe is usually made of metal, and it is also inappropriate to make large holes in the casing. Therefore, the appearance design of the electronic device is restricted to a considerable degree.

The invention provides an electronic device. In addition to the effect of electromagnetic shielding, the housing of the electronic device can also be assembled with functional modules according to the needs of users, providing a variety of use modes.

The invention provides an electronic device. The electronic device includes a casing and a detachable unit. The housing has an opening; the detachable unit is selectively disposed in the opening. The detachable unit has an identification element.

The casing of the traditional electronic device only has the functions of electromagnetic shielding and heat dissipation. In contrast, the electronic device provided by the present invention is equipped with a detachable unit. In addition to the electromagnetic shielding effect, this detachable unit can also provide a variety of different functions, such as heat dissipation, storage, display, communication, and storage. Users can choose different removable units according to their needs. Therefore, the electronic device provided by the present invention helps to improve the user experience.
