As shown in FIG. 6, when static electricity flows from the outside into the mobile terminal 100, the static electricity has a property of gathering at corners or sharp points. Since static electricity is applied to the display part 151 from the periphery of the mobile terminal 100 &Lt; / RTI >

5, at least a part of the rear surface 1511 of the display portion and the periphery of the side surface 1512 of the display portion are covered with the cover 159, The conductive tape 200 may be formed of a conductive material.

6, when the static electricity flowing into the display unit 151 reaches the conductive tape 200, the static electricity moves along the side surface 1512 of the display unit along the conductive tape 200 and is transmitted to the bracket 107. [

The conductive tape 200 is wrapped from the side 1512 of the display portion to the backside 1511 of the display portion in a cuboid shape as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 so as to be in contact with the conductive support plate 1071 of the bracket 107 . The conductive tape 200 may be formed on the entire periphery of the display unit 151 or may be formed on the edge of the display unit 151 which is most affected by static electricity as shown in FIG.

The display unit 151 may include a panel unit 1510 for transmitting image information, and a signal unit 1515 for connecting the panel unit 1510 and the control unit to transmit signals. The signal part 1515 can be a flexible circuit board or the like and can control the static electricity received by using the circuit pattern to be prevented from being transmitted to the display part 151.

That is, since the corner of the side having the signal portion 1515 can prevent the static electricity from flowing into the display portion 151 through the signal portion 1515, the signal portion 1515 is formed as shown in FIG. Can only be formed on the opposite edge.

4, the bracket 107 forms a step that abuts the side surface 1512 of the display unit so that the display unit 151 can be fixed, and the mounting unit 1073, in which the rear surface of the display unit 151 is inserted, .

When the conductive tape 200 is attached to the display unit 151, the display unit 151 is enlarged in size by the thickness of the conductive tape 200, Insertion into the portion 1073 may be difficult. A recessed region 1074 may be formed around the seating portion 1073 of the bracket 107 as shown in FIG. 7 so that the display unit 151 to which the conductive tape 200 is attached can be inserted.

The recessed region 1074 may be formed at a position where the conductive tape 200 is attached and the size may be formed at an obtuse angle around the seating portion 1073 corresponding to the thickness of the conductive tape 200.

As described above, according to at least one embodiment of the present invention, the static electricity flowing into the display part 151 can be directly taken out to the support part 1071 of the bracket 107, It is possible to prevent breakage. In addition, it is possible to prevent static electricity flowing into the display unit 151 by attaching only the conductive tape 200 without deforming the structure of the conventional display unit 151.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof.

Accordingly, the above description should not be construed in a limiting sense in all respects and should be considered illustrative. The scope of the present invention should be determined by rational interpretation of the appended claims, and all changes within the scope of equivalents of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.
