Accordingly, the holding up of any face of the radio communication terminal 100 with the display device 500 mounted thereto toward the radio reader/writer 200 can achieve the stable communication. As described above, by utilizing the display device 500 , the radio communication terminal 100 can increase the loop area of the second loop coil 521 to obtain the great effect resulted from the resonant effect.
  • a light emitting diode 522 provided with the second loop coil 521 of the display device 500 emits light by receiving the magnetic field from the radio reader/writer 200 .
  • the display sheet 500 can guide the communication status.
  • the radio communication terminal 100 in response to the light emitting state of the diode 522 , the radio communication terminal 100 can maintain further excellent communication state by approximating it to the radio reader/writer 200 .
