International ClassH01S 15/00AbstractAn electronic equipment system includes a housing 20 and a plurality of modules 31 to 35, which are removably built in and fixed to the housing 20. The modules 31 to 34 includes a liquid crystal display 31a; a graphic control circuit 32a1 and a navigation control circuit 32a2; an MD unit 33a; and a CD unit 34a, respectively. The module 35 is formed through integration of control sections, such as constant-voltage circuits for power supply, which achieve a function that is common among the graphic control circuit and the navigation control circuit, the MD unit, and the CD unit. Thus, it becomes possible to replace only necessary one among the modules 31 to 34, thereby reducing cost necessary for upgrading of the system.Field of SearchBOXES AND HOUSINGSWith covering or casing for envelope With electrical connector With mounting means for a device within envelope Radio type With retractable or readily detachable chassis With housing or chassis Specific latching or retaining device Connected or disconnected Display board Reminder Synchronizing Tree or cascade With addressing Antitheft | |
