1. An electronic apparatus, comprising: a housing having a display surface face and a back surface face that face each other and side faces therebetween, having an accommodation space therein, and having an opening on the display surface face; an electronic device contained in the accommodation space, wherein the housing is configured of a first member and a second member and has a device insertion opening on at least one opposing face of the first member or the second member; and a center chassis contained in the housing together with the electronic device, in which an end part surface of the center chassis facing a first side of the sides contacts a surface of the first side, wherein at least one of the first member or the second member is configured as a single piece without use of a fastener which extends continuously from a peripheral edge of the display surface face through the side faces and through the back surface face thereof so as to include an entirety of the side faces and the back surface face such that when the electronic device is contained in the accommodation space the at least one first member or the second member entirely covers the portion of the electronic device contained therein from the peripheral edge of the display surface face through the side faces and through the back surface face thereof.
5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the electronic device is fixed to the housing by the center chassis.
6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the housing has a thick section at a part of at least one of the sides that faces an end part of the center chassis to hold the center chassis.
7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the center chassis has a bent section as the end part surface of the center chassis that contacts the surface of the first side.
9. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the fastener is a screw.
10. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the center chassis includes a number of projections.
11. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the center chassis has two bent sections as the end part surface of the center chassis that contacts the surface of the first side.
The present application is a national phase entry under 35 U.S.C. .sctn. 371 of International Application No. PCT/JP2012/062768 filed May 18, 2012, published on Dec. 6, 2012, as WO 2012/165173 A1, which claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. JP 2011-122745 filed in the Japanese Patent Office on May 31, 2011.
