  • the distance D6 from the front surface 60a of the circuit board 60 to the concave edge portion 71b is lower than the height H1 of the insertion port 64a with reference to the front surface 60a of the circuit board 60.
  • the height H1 is the distance from the front surface 60a of the circuit board 60 to the front edge of the insertion port 64a.
  • the flat cable 63 extends obliquely from the insertion port 64a toward the front surface 60a of the circuit board 60. According to this structure of the shield 71, since the gap formed between the flat cable 63 and the concave edge portion 71b is small, the generation of unnecessary radiation from the circuit board 60 can be effectively suppressed.
  • the distance D6 from the front surface 60a of the circuit board 60 to the concave edge portion 71b corresponds to the thickness of the flat cable 63. Therefore, the concave edge portion 71b may be in contact with the flat cable 63.
  • the width W1 of the concave edge portion 71b in the left-right direction corresponds to the width of the flat cable 63.
  • the shield 71 is in contact with the front surface 60a of the circuit board 60 on the right side and the left side of the concave edge portion 71b.
  • the shield 71 extends diagonally from the main plate portion 71c located in front of the connector 64 and covering the main plate portion 71c from the main plate portion 71c to the concave edge portion 71b toward the front surface 60a of the circuit board 60. It has an inclined portion 71e. The inclined portion 71e extends to the concave edge portion 71b while being curved. The concave edge portion 71b further extends in the direction along the front surface 60a of the circuit board 60.
  • the shield 71 has a rear surface 71f facing the circuit board 60. A part of the rear surface 71f functions as a concave edge portion 71b. Due to this shape of the shield 71, the load acting on the flat cable 63 can be reduced even when a force for pushing the front surface of the shield 71 in the direction toward the circuit board 60 is applied.
  • the shield 71 has a contact region 71g around the main plate portion 71c that surrounds the connector 64 and is in contact with the front surface 60a of the circuit board 60.
  • the contact region 71g may be in contact with the ground region formed on the front surface 60a of the circuit board 60.
  • the shield 71 has openings 71h / 71i (see FIG. 7A) at the positions of the connectors 61A / 61B, and the connectors 61A / 61B project from the openings 71h / 71i to the outside (front side) of the shield 71.
  • buttons 41A and 41B have a button movable portion 42 that is arranged in front of the circuit board 51 and is allowed to move in the front-rear direction, and a guided portion 42e that moves together with the button movable portion 42.
  • the switch 52 of the circuit board 51 is operated by the button movable portion 42.
  • the guide portions 21E and 21F are arranged along the guided portion 42e and regulate the moving direction of the button movable portion 42.
  • the guide portions 21E and 21F and the guided portion 42e have portions located behind the front surface 51a of the circuit board 51.
  • the distance from the opening 20a formed in the front panel 20C to the rear ends of the guide portions 21E and 21F in the front-rear direction becomes large, so that the rear end of the button 41 (rear end of the guided portion 42e)
  • the position of the button is prevented from shifting to the left or right, and as a result, the inclination of the button movable portion 42 is effectively suppressed.
  • the electronic device proposed in the present disclosure is not limited to the structure of the electronic device 1 described above, and various modifications can be made.
  • the positions of the guide portions 21E and 21F with respect to the button movable portion 42 are not limited to the example of the electronic device 1.
  • the guide portions 21E and 21F may be formed on the right side and the left side of the button movable portion 42, respectively.
