In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, thetouch screen 31 includes atouch panel 311 and adisplay unit 312, wherein the width of thedisplay unit 312 is greater than the width of thetouch panel 311, and thetouch panel 311 is attached to thedisplay unit 312 by using, for example, an optical adhesive, and two opposite side edges of thedisplay unit 312 are exposed. As shown in fig. 1 and 5, thecarrier 32 has atop side 321, afirst side 322, asecond side 323, and abottom side 324, thetouch screen 31 is disposed on the top surface of thecarrier 32, and two opposite side edges of thedisplay unit 312 exposed relative to thetouch panel 311 are respectively opposite to thefirst side 322 and thesecond side 323 of thecarrier 32.
In this embodiment, the firstengaging element 416 and the secondengaging element 421 can be a groove and a protrusion, or a protrusion and a groove, respectively, wherein the protrusion and the groove are engaged with each other. In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and 5, thesheath 41 further includes a first position-limitingportion 418 and a second position-limitingportion 419, which are respectively disposed on the inner surfaces of thefirst side plate 411 and thesecond side plate 412 and respectively extend from thefirst port 414 to thesecond port 415. In addition, thefirst side plate 411 and thesecond side plate 412 of the case cover 41 respectively extend from the end edges to theaccommodating space 417 in a slightly inward inclined or arc shape to form a firstnarrow frame portion 411a and a secondnarrow frame portion 412 a. The first position-limitingportion 418 and the firstnarrow frame portion 411a of thefirst side plate 411 may define to form a first sliding slot R1, and the second position-limitingportion 419 and the secondnarrow frame portion 412a of thesecond side plate 412 may define to form a second sliding slot R2.
