Electronic apparatus

Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes an apparatus body having a storage medium insertion slot to insert and remove an information storage medium, and a display unit supported by the apparatus body in a turnable manner, being capable of opening and closing the storage medium insertion slot. The display unit includes a flat panel capable of displaying image information, and a panel case having a window to expose a display surface of the flat panel and being supported by the apparatus body in a turnable manner. Part of a frame portion surrounding the window of the panel case is disposed to overlap at least part of the storage medium insertion slot such that the information storage medium inserted through the storage medium insertion slot is prevented from being in contact with the display surface of the flat panel, when the display unit being brought into contact with the apparatus body.
