Abstract
To prevent an operator from being hurt by a hot outside panel of an electronic device when he touches the outside panel with his hand or a portion of his body, the outside panel is improved and an electronic device safe for the operator is provided. There are provided spaces for heat insulation in an outside panel and, by the action of the spaces, the apparent temperature of the outside panel is decreased. Also, ducts are provided in the outside panel, and the temperature of the outside panel itself is decreased by the action of the ducts. Further, a large number of protrusions are provided on the surface of the outside panel, and a heat insulating section is formed at the forward end of each protrusion, so that the apparent temperature is decreased.
