Abstract: A portable information device includes a display extending over a first chassis and a second chassis, and a bezel disposed straddling over an outer edge of the display and a chassis frame, adjacent to the outer edge, of the first chassis and the second chassis and having a bending part. The bending part includes a first member and a second member. The first member includes first and second side portions. The first side portion is fixed to a front face of the outer edge and the second side portion is disposed to be relatively movable with respect to the chassis frame, in a width direction straddling over the outer edge and the chassis frame of the first chassis and the second chassis. The second member is fixed to a front face of the first member and made of a material more flexible than that of the first member.

Abstract: A docking station is provided. The docking station has an engagement member, a coupling detector, a connector, an advancing and refracting mechanism, and a controller. The engagement member can be inserted into an engagement hole of a portable information device. The coupling detector detects whether or not the engagement member has been engaged with the engagement hole. The connector can be connected to a connection terminal provided in a side surface of thy portable information device. The advancing and retracting mechanism is operated by the driving force of a motor to advance and retract the connector to connect and separate the connector to/from the connection terminal. The controller operates the advancing and retracting mechanism when it is detected that the portable information device is coupled with the docking station to advance the connector to connect the connector to the connection terminal.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus having a thinner chassis by pressing keycaps and capable of avoiding an erroneous motion or an erroneous input. An electronic apparatus includes: a key-position setting mechanism configured to interlock with a rotation of a display chassis and a main body chassis via a hinge mechanism to move keycaps from a first position to a second position; and a controller configured to enable a key input signal from the keycaps when the keycaps are at least at the first position and to disable a key input signal from the keycaps when the key-position setting mechanism moves the keycaps to the second position.
