Description

[0001] PORTABLE TERMINAL [0002]

The present invention relates to a window structure of a portable terminal having a touch screen.

A portable terminal is a portable device that is portable and has one or more functions such as voice and video call function, information input / output function, and data storing function.

As the functions are diversified, the mobile terminal has complicated functions such as photographing and photographing of movies, playing music or moving picture files, receiving games, broadcasting, etc. These devices are integrally mounted and are equipped with a multimedia player .

In order to implement complex functions in multimedia devices, various new attempts have been made in terms of hardware or software. For example, a user interface environment is provided for a user to easily and conveniently search for or select a function.

Apparatuses have been introduced that facilitate touch input to a terminal and provide a convenient user interface. As a means for detecting the touch, a film (for example, an ITO film) containing an electrode pattern may be used. The edge of the film is disposed with data lines connected to each pattern. The data line is treated to be invisible from the outside in consideration of appearance. Also, the functionally opaque portion defines the output area of the display module. As the opaque portion is widened, the output area of the display module becomes smaller than the size of the entire portable terminal.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been conceived in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a display device and a method of manufacturing the same, in which the width of an opaque portion (hereinafter referred to as a bezel portion) , It is a technical object to secure a relatively wide display area.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a portable terminal according to the present invention comprises: a case having a through-hole for viewing a display unit installed therein; And a window assembly installed in the penetrating window, the window assembly comprising: a translucent base; A first conductive film disposed on an upper surface of the base; A second conductive film disposed on the first conductive film and configured to detect a touch in combination with the first conductive film; An adhesive tape disposed between the first conductive film and the second conductive film, the adhesive tape sealing the edge portions of the first conductive film and the second conductive film; And a protective film disposed on the second conductive film and having an opaque bezel portion at an edge thereof to define an output area of the display portion, wherein the edge of the protective film has a predetermined width from the edge of the conductive films W), and the edge portions of the conductive films are configured to be hooked and supported on the inner side of the case.

As an example related to the present invention, the first conductive film and the second conductive film may be configured to operate in a pressure mode.

The bezel portion may have a width d extending from an edge of the protective film to at least a portion where an inner edge line of the adhesive tape is located.

According to the portable terminal related to the present invention configured as described above, since the edge portions of the conductive films having the opaque electrode lines are hung from the case, the width of the bezel portion that can cover at least the adhesive tape and the electrode lines is required The width of the bezel portion can be remarkably reduced in view of the conventional case. Accordingly, not only the degree of freedom in design can be increased, but also the display unit can be enlarged even if the portable terminal has the same size.

The haptic module 154 may include two or more haptic modules 154 according to the configuration of the portable terminal 100.

The memory 160 may store a program for the operation of the controller 180 and temporarily store input / output data (e.g., a phone book, a message, a still image, a moving picture, etc.). The memory 160 may store data on vibration and sound of various patterns outputted when a touch is input on the touch screen.

[ A variety of electronic components are embedded in the space formed between the front case 102 and the rear case 104. At least one intermediate case may be additionally provided between the front case 102 and the rear case 104.

For example, the first user input unit 131 receives commands such as start, end, scroll, and the like, and the second user input unit 132 controls the size of the sound outputted from the sound output unit 152, To the touch recognition mode of the touch screen.

3 is a rear perspective view of the portable terminal shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 3, a second camera 125 may be further mounted on the rear surface of the terminal body 101. The second camera 125 may have a photographing direction substantially opposite to that of the first camera 121 disposed on the front surface of the terminal body 101 and may be a camera having different pixels from the first camera 121.

For example, the first camera 121 has low pixels so that it is easy to capture a face of a user in the case of a video call or the like and transmit the face to the other party, and the second camera 125 photographs a general subject and immediately transmits It is preferable to have a high pixel. These cameras 121 and 125 may be installed in the terminal body such that they can be rotated or pop-up.

A flash 127 and a mirror 126 are additionally disposed adjacent to the second camera 125. The flash 127 illuminates the subject when the subject is photographed by the camera 125.

4 is an exploded perspective view of the portable terminal of FIG. 4, the front case 102 is formed with a through-hole 102a so that the display unit 151 disposed inside the front case 102 can be seen. On the inside of the through window 102a, a window assembly 200 is integrally assembled to protect the display unit 151 and to enable touch input.

The through window 102a has a size at least equal to the size of the display 150 so that the display 151 is not covered. However, more precisely, the penetration window 102a has a size slightly smaller than the window assembly 200, and the window assembly 200 is assembled in a state of being disposed inside the front case 102. [

FIG. 5 is an enlarged partial cross-sectional perspective view of the window assembly of FIG. 3, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the portable terminal with the window assembly mounted thereon.

According to these figures, the window assembly 200 includes several layers. These layers are in the order of the bottom 230, the first conductive film 225, the second conductive film 221 and the protective film 210 in this order.

The base 230 serves to support the conductive films 225 and 221 and the protective film 210 and is formed so as to induce as little deformation as possible from the touch operation or impact and to provide sufficient rigidity. The light-transmitting base 230 may be formed of glass, tempered glass, plastic, or reinforced plastic. Especially, when formed from tempered glass, it is possible to expect a thin and high rigidity. The base 230 is formed to be transmissive so that light of the display 151 can pass through it. Herein, the term 'translucent' is a concept including a translucency, and an anti reflection coating or coating may be additionally included to reduce the reflectivity.

The first conductive film 225 is attached to the upper surface of the base 230 by the first adhesive layer 228. The first adhesive layer 228 is formed to be transparent so that light from the display 151 is not blocked.

The first conductive film 225 and the second conductive film 221 each include a light-transmitting electrode pattern for sensing a touch. As an example, the first conductive film 225 and the second conductive film 221 may be formed as a film in which indium-tin oxide (ITO) is deposited. The electrode patterns are gathered at the edge portions of the first conductive film 225 and the second conductive film 221 and are connected to the circuit board (not shown) by connecting means such as a flexible PCB 401 (see FIG. 4). Since the electrode pattern (hereinafter, referred to as 'electrode line') gathered at the edge portion is formed of an opaque metal such as a copper foil, this portion needs to be shielded from being exposed from the outside.

The first conductive film 225 and the second conductive film 221 are formed so as to be able to sense a pressure-type touch. For this, a gap 224 is formed between the first conductive film 225 and the second conductive film 221, and a spacer 226 is included to maintain the gap 224. The gap 224 may be filled with a medium (e.g., liquid crystal) having a refractive index similar to that of the first conductive film 225 and the second conductive film 221 so as to reduce a difference in refractive index.

When there is a touch having a certain level of pressure on the protective film 210, the second conductive film 221 at that position is deformed and brought into contact with the first conductive film 225. The position of the contact point is obtained by using the measured current and the resistance value of the region, and the content of the input by the touch becomes the output information of the display 151 corresponding to the determined position. However, the present invention is applicable to a capacitive touch screen as exemplified by the application to the above-described resistive type.

The edge portions of the first conductive film 225 and the second conductive film 221 are attached with an adhesive tape 223 which seals the foreign material into the air gap 224. The adhesive tape 223 having an adhesive on both sides can be used.

The protective film 210 is attached to the upper surface of the second conductive film 221 by a translucent adhesive layer, and is a portion where the touch is actually performed. 4 and 5, the protective film 210 is formed to be smaller than the conductive films 225 and 221 such that the edges of the protective film 210 are disposed inward by a predetermined width W from the edges of the conductive films 225 and 221.

An edge portion of the protective film 210 is formed with an opaque bezel portion 215 so as to define an area of the display portion 151. [ The bezel unit 215 is implemented by a method of printing an opaque dye such as a metal color or black or the like, and is a boundary of the display unit 151 when the display unit 151 operates. Since the bezel 215 can be seen relatively small as the bezel 215 is wider than the bezel 215, It is important to reduce the width of

According to Fig. 6, the edge portions of the conductive films 225 and 221 are held by being hooked on the inside of the front case 102. That is, the front case 102 is provided with a latching protrusion 102b for latching the edge portions of the conductive films 225 and 221. The electrode lines and the adhesive tape 223 of the conductive films 225 and 221 are engaged And is naturally covered by the jaw portion 102b.

Thus, in the conventional case where the width of the bezel portion that can cover the adhesive tape 223 and the electrode lines was required (in such a manner that the window assembly is assembled directly from the top of the front case), the bezel portion has a width The width of the bezel 215 can be significantly reduced. Particularly, since the engaging tabs 102b of the front case 102 covering the edges of the conductive films 225 and 221 can design the curved edge face as a whole, the bezel 215 can be almost in front of the portable terminal 100 As shown in FIG. Accordingly, the display unit 151 can be relatively enlarged and the display unit can be enlarged even if the portable terminal has the same size. In addition, since the window assembly 200 is assembled inside the front case 102, the window assembly 200 is prevented from being lifted.

The above-described portable terminal may be configured such that all or some of the embodiments are selectively combined so that various modifications may be made to the embodiments and the methods of the embodiments described above are not limited thereto .
