  • Patent number: 7006853
    Abstract: A hinge system of a portable wireless terminal not only enables a folder to be opened from a terminal body but also enables front and rear surfaces of a folder of a portable wireless terminal to be turned over. The hinge system a folder-opening hinge module and a rotary-type hinge module, the cooperation of which realizes the above operation. The rotary-type hinge module includes a hinge housing rotatably assembled with the terminal body, a supporting shaft fixed to the hinge housing, and a rotary shaft rotatably assembled with the supporting shaft. The rotary shaft is connected with the folder and can be rotated with respect to the terminal body, thereby enabling the folder to be turned over in a state that the folder is opened.

  • Patent number: 6438228
    Abstract: A hinge device of a flip type mobile telephone including a body and a flip cover with a speaker mounted thereon. In the hinge device, a hinge assembly includes a spring connector pin; a hinge shaft having at least one open end, a pair of opposite protrusions, a pair of opposite indents, and a cylindrical inner wall into which the connector pin is pressed, the shaft being movable along a rotation axis; a hinge housing having at least one open end into which the hinge shaft is inserted; guide means for enabling the hinge shaft to move rectilinearly in the hinge housing; and securing means for preventing separation of the hinge shaft from the hinge housing. The hinge device further includes a coupling member having a pair of opposite protrusions and a pair of opposite indents, for keeping in sliding surface contact with the hinge shaft; and conducting means interposed between the hinge assembly and the coupling member, for electrically connecting the speaker to a printed circuit board housed within the body.

  • Publication number: 20010006380
    Abstract: Disclosed is a back light in a liquid crystal display (LCD) module, in particular, a back light device in a LCD module for irradiating light in a variety of colors according to a user's demand. The back light device in the liquid crystal display module includes a liquid crystal display, a reflecting plate laminated sheet by sheet on a bottom of the liquid crystal display, one or more lamps installed on one end of the reflecting plate, and a controller for controlling light emission of the installed lamps. The lamps are installed on both ends of the reflecting plate to combine colors. The light emitted by the lamps is diffused through the reflecting plate. The diffused light is irradiated according to an illumination control signal applied by the controller. The illumination control signal causes the irradiated light to have a pertinent color according to the user's demand.
