2. Description of the Background Art
A structure of a picture reproducer such as a disk unit is known in general. For example, Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 5-242661 (1993) discloses a structure of a video tape recorder (VTR) as the structure of the picture reproducer. The VTR disclosed in Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 5-242661 (1993) includes a mechanical deck provided with three connectors on its side surface and a relay board provided with three connectors for connecting to the three connectors, in which the relay board is mounted on the mechanical deck by connecting the connectors of the mechanical deck and the connectors of the relay board.
A structure of a disk unit such as a DVD (digital versatile disk) deck is also known in general. For example, Utility Model Registration No. 3090085 discloses a structure of a DVD deck, in which a holder mounted on a chassis supports a main board and a progressive board in a horizontal direction. In the DVD deck disclosed in Utility Model Registration No. 3090085, the progressive board is arranged above the main board and a DVD unit is so provided as to be adjacent to the main board and the progressive board supported in the horizontal direction by the holder. Utility Model Registration No. 3107004 discloses a structure of a disk unit, in which a circuit board placed on an upper surface of a body of a disk drive mechanism, is located by two engaging hooks provided in the body of the disk drive mechanism and three expansion portions provided in a top cover.
A DVD integrated television (disk unit-integrated display) provided with a DVD drive unit (disk unit) is known in general.

As shown in
The CRT 104 is mounted on the front cabinet 102 while the display region 104a is exposed from the display window 102a of the front cabinet 102, as shown in
The DVD drive unit 106 includes the disk tray 106a, and a DVD drive unit body portion (disk unit body) 106b on which the disk tray 106a is mounted slidably in an anteroposterior direction. The disk tray 106a slides in the anteroposterior direction, whereby the disk tray 106a is projected outside the front cabinet 102 through the opening 102c of the front cabinet 102 and is housed inside the front cabinet 102. Thus, the disk tray 106a has a function of conveying a DVD (not shown) arranged therein. The cover member 107 is mounted on the DVD drive unit body portion 106b by screws 152. The DVD circuit board 108 for controlling the DVD drive unit 106 is so mounted as to extend in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the main circuit board 105.

In a structure of the VTR disclosed in the aforementioned Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 5-242661 (1993), the relay board is mounted on the mechanical deck by connecting the three connectors of the mechanical deck and the three connectors of the relay board, so that the mechanical deck and the relay board must be provided with three connectors respectively. Therefore, it is difficult to reduce the number of components by providing one connector instead of the three connectors, thereby posing a problem that the number of components is increased.
In a structure of the DVD deck disclosed in the aforementioned Utility Model Registration No. 3090085, the DVD unit is so provided as to be adjacent to the main board and the progressive board supported in a horizontal direction by the holder, a region for arranging the main board and the progressive board supported in a horizontal direction by the holder must be provided separately from a region for arranging the DVD unit. Thus, there is a problem that the DVD deck grows in size.

On the other hand, in the DVD integrated television, the CRT is arranged above the disk unit, whereby a large space exists between an upper surface of the disk unit and the top cover (housing). Therefore, in the DVD integrated television, it is difficult to provide an expansion portion on the top cover (housing) and locate the circuit board placed on the upper surface of the disk unit, whereby it is difficult to apply the structure of the disk unit disclosed in the aforementioned Utility Model Registration No. 3107004 to the DVD integrated television.
