A portable information handling system modular hybrid architecture separates components between rotationally coupled housing portions to minimize cabling, connectors and materials, and to provide improved durability that supports recycling and reuse of the components. For example, a plurality of housing cover configurations couple to housing portions of different dimensions with opposing couples and a common keystone element that, when installed, prevents separation of the opposing couplers. Removal of the keystone element provides ready access to the housing portion interior to recycle processing components, such as a secondary board having an embedded controller and charger and a battery interfaced with the secondary board.

An electronic apparatus includes a display panel including a front surface and a rear surface opposite to the front surface, a lower panel having an opening portion defined therein, a fingerprint sensor including an upper portion, a lower portion, and a lateral portion, the sensor being in the opening portion with a space from a side wall of the opening portion, and an adhesive portion to bond the fingerprint sensor to the display panel. The adhesive portion includes a first adhesive portion between the rear surface of the display panel and the upper portion of the fingerprint sensor and a second adhesive portion around at least a portion of the lateral portion of the fingerprint sensor, and a minimum width and a minimum thickness of the second adhesive portion are each at least ½ of a thickness of the fingerprint sensor.

An electronic device includes a first electrical element, a heat dissipation sheet having a heat diffusion member for diffusing the heat generated from the first electrical element, and an anti-shock member arranged to be stacked with at least a part of the heat diffusion member; and a bracket which provides a space for accommodating the heat dissipation sheet. The heat dissipation sheet includes a first area, a second area, and a third area arranged between the first area and the second area.

A video processing apparatus includes a housing defining an interior space, the housing having first, second, third, and fourth sides and a back side extending between the first, second, third and fourth sides, the back side including a back wall having a main portion laying on a back plane, a recessed portion recessed from the back plane and defining a video connection recess, and a recessed wall extending from the main portion to the recessed portion, the recessed wall having a video connector opening, and the recessed portion having an angled surface lying at an angle of at least 5 degrees relative to the back plane; and a video output socket in the interior space and aligned with the video connector opening of the recessed wall, whereby the angled surface facilitates insertion of a video connector into the video output socket.
