The present invention relates to a portable terminal, and more particularly, to a portable terminal having a plurality of colors displayed in a key area or the like.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A portable terminal including a mobile communication telephone or a PDA is a portable electronic device having a function such as allowing a user to view or process wireless transmission / reception or information while using the mobile terminal.
Such portable terminals require an interface environment that can be easily and conveniently used by a user in using such functions with sufficient mechanical support to make it convenient to implement various functions in a small and limited device.
The portable terminal includes a keypad device operable for operation or input of a mounted function, and generally uses a lighting device such as a light emitting diode (LED) to clearly display a key of a key to be used or operated in a dark place. use.
Accordingly, the user operates the corresponding switch by pressing each key button constituting the keypad device, and when the light generated from the light emitting diode illuminates the key button, the user recognizes the position and mark of each key button. .
However, in the conventional keypad device, the light emitting diode that illuminates the key button is only for back lighting of the key button and does not give distinct identification information.
An object of the present invention is to provide a portable terminal with high usability and convenient interface by varying lighting applied to a key area and marker information recognized by the present invention. .
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a terminal cover having a key area; A light emitting unit positioned inside the terminal cover to emit different color light according to a mode; And a pattern disposed in the terminal cover and having a different pattern according to each mode, and having at least two patterns disposed in the terminal cover and corresponding to each mode, and corresponding to the color light. Disclosed is a portable terminal including a filter unit to be shown in FIG.
As an embodiment according to the present invention, the terminal cover may be formed of a translucent resin material.
As an implementation form according to the present invention, the terminal cover comprises: a transparent base cover; And a shielding layer positioned outside the base cover to at least partially cover the filter part.
As an embodiment according to the present invention, the shielding layer may include a printing layer formed in a partially transmissive shape on the outside of the base cover; And a transmissive protective layer positioned outside the printed layer and protecting the printed layer.
As an embodiment according to the present invention, the translucent protective layer may be formed by in-mold a resin film printed with the printed layer.
As an embodiment according to the present invention, the transparent protective layer may be formed in a form in which a transparent paint is coated after the printing layer is transferred to the base cover.
As an implementation form according to the present invention, a touch sensing layer for generating an input signal by sensing a touch applied to the terminal cover outside or inside the base cover may be further provided.
As an implementation form according to the present invention, the touch sensing layer may be a capacitance type that generates a signal by detecting a change in capacitance generated by the touch.
As an embodiment according to the present invention, the filter unit may be located below the touch sensing layer.
As an embodiment according to the present invention, the light guide layer for guiding the light horizontally of the light emitting part may be further formed inside the filter part.
As an embodiment according to the present invention, the light guide layer may further include a reflective layer for reflecting light of the light guide layer to the outside.
As an embodiment according to the present invention, the patterns of the filter parts corresponding to the respective modes may be spaced apart from each other.
As an embodiment according to the present invention, the patterns of the filter parts corresponding to each mode may be disposed to overlap each other.
As an embodiment according to the present invention, the pattern of the filter parts corresponding to each mode may be formed in the same layer or in different layers.
As an embodiment according to the present invention, the filter unit may be formed in a thin film form having a thickness capable of filtering wavelengths of color lights except for color light selected from color light emitted from the light emitting unit by interference.
As an embodiment according to the present invention, at least one pattern selected from the patterns of the filter part may be a decorative symbol or a pattern.
As an implementation form according to the present invention, at least one mode selected from the above modes may be a standby mode, and the filter unit having the decorative symbol or pattern may be set to operate in the standby mode.
The present invention also provides a terminal cover; A light emitting unit positioned inside the terminal cover to emit different color light according to a mode; And a filter unit disposed inside the terminal cover and formed in a different pattern according to the mode, and configured to display only a pattern corresponding to the color light selected by the mode among the color lights on the terminal cover. Initiate.
Hereinafter, a portable terminal according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
