Abstract

An electronic apparatus that is provided on a back surface of a seat and can be connected with an external apparatus, the electronic apparatus including casing (109), and connector (101) or (102) that is connected with the external apparatus, in which casing (109) includes an inclined surface that is inclined at a prescribed angle or a curved surface that is curved, toward a middle in a lateral width direction, and connector (101) or (102) is disposed in the inclined surface or the curved surface and connectable with the external apparatus in a direction perpendicular to the inclined surface or the curved surface.

First claim

1 . An electronic apparatus that is provided on a back surface of a seat and can be connected with an external apparatus, the electronic apparatus comprising:
a casing; and a connector that is connected with the external apparatus, wherein the casing includes an inclined surface that is inclined at a prescribed angle or a curved surface that is curved, toward a middle in a lateral width direction, and the connector is disposed in the inclined surface or the curved surface and connectable with the external apparatus in a direction perpendicular to the inclined surface or the curved surface.

2 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising an operation unit that receives an operation input.

3 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the casing includes a flat surface that is formed substantially parallel to the back surface of the seat in the middle in the lateral width direction of the casing, and the operation unit is provided in the flat surface.

4 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising an image display device that displays an image.

5 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein a display of the image display device is located in a further front than the inclined surface or the curved surface.

6 . An electronic apparatus that is included in a housing unit standing around a seat and having corners, the electronic apparatus comprising:
a casing that is provided at any of the corners of the housing unit, and has an inclined surface that is inclined at a prescribed angle or a curved surface that is curved, toward the seat; and a connector that is disposed in the inclined surface or the curved surface and connectable with an external apparatus in a direction perpendicular to the inclined surface or the curved surface.

7 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein
the housing unit includes a front surface unit, and a side surface unit that is coupled to the front surface unit and forms any of the corners between the side surface unit and the front surface unit, and is provided with an image display device that displays an image, and the inclined surface or the curved surface is formed at any of the corners.
