To provide an electronic apparatus having a configuration with a hinge device on which an antenna device is mounted, the electronic apparatus having a simple structure enabling frame ground of the antenna device.SOLUTION: An electronic apparatus 10 comprises: a hinge device 12 that rotatably couples a body frame 16 with a display frame 14; and an antenna device 24 for transmitting/receiving a radio wave. The hinge device 12 includes: a hinge shaft, a bearing part 28, and a frame fitting member that are formed from metallic material; and a hinge frame 30 formed from radio wave permeating material. The antenna device 24 includes: a holder component 40 housed inside the hinge frame 30; an antenna element 42 supported by the holder component 40; and a ground element 44 that is supported by the holder component 40 and is electrically connected to the bearing part 28.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】ヒンジ装置にアンテナ装置を搭載した構成としながらも、簡素な構造でアンテナ装置をフレームグランドすることができる電子機器を提供する。【解決手段】電子機器１０は、本体筐体１６とディスプレイ筐体１４との間を回動可能に連結するヒンジ装置１２と、電波を送受信するアンテナ装置２４と、を備える。ヒンジ装置１２は、金属材料で形成されたヒンジ軸、軸受部２８及び筐体取付部材と、電波透過性材料で形成されたヒンジ筐体３０と、を有する。アンテナ装置２４は、ヒンジ筐体３０の内部に収容されるホルダ部品４０と、ホルダ部品４０に支持されるアンテナエレメント４２と、ホルダ部品４０に支持され、軸受部２８と電気的に接続されるグランドエレメント４４と、を有する。【選択図】図３
