1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a first chassis member;
a second chassis member that is adjacent to the first chassis member and relatively rotatably connected to the first chassis member;
a first plate that is supported by the first chassis member;
a second plate that is supported by the second chassis member and aligned with a gap between the first plate and the second plate;
a display that is formed in a flexible sheet shape, and has a first region fixed to a front surface of the first plate, a second region fixed to a front surface of the second plate, and a folding region capable of being folded and provided to straddle a gap between the first region and the second region;
a first fastening portion that fixes the first plate to the first chassis member;
a second fastening portion that fixes the second plate to the second chassis member; and
one or more pressing members that apply tension to the folding region of the display by pressing the first plate to the first chassis member toward a separation direction separated from the second plate, wherein
the first chassis member has a first receiving portion,
the first plate has a second receiving portion that faces the first receiving portion, and
each of the one or more pressing members is either:
a leaf spring that has a base portion fixed to the second receiving portion and a spring portion protruding from the base portion to be pressed against the first receiving portion, or
a screw or a cam that applies a pressing force in the separation direction between the first receiving portion and the second receiving portion.
