Patent number: 8102320Abstract: An antenna structure for portable electronic device includes an antenna and an electrical connection element. The portable electronic device includes a main body, a slotted section, a shaft, and a slot cover. The slot cover is coupled to the main body via the shaft, and the slot cover is located on the slotted section. The antenna is disposed on the slot cover, and the electrical connection element is coupled to the shaft and a printed circuit board mounted in the main body, so that the antenna is electrically coupled via the electrical connection element to the printed circuit board. Since the antenna disposed on the slot cover is not parallel with the printed circuit board, a clearance distance required between the antenna and the printed circuit board can be reduced to enable reduction of a volume of the portable electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2008Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: Inventec Applicances Corp.Inventor: Chi-Hsiung Lin

Patent number: 7561421Abstract: A portable electronic product with a Qwerty keyboard has a single display for reducing the manufacturing cost and a Qwerty keyboard for inputting data more conveniently. The portable electronic product includes a housing, a Qwerty keyboard mounted in the housing and a display. The Qwerty keyboard is exposed to a bottom surface of the housing and has an outer surface that is lower than the bottom surface of the housing. The display is assembled on a top surface of the housing and has a side edge that is partially or fully mounted with one edge of the housing pivotally. Therefore, the display is able to swivel relative to the housing. When the user needs to input data, the display can be turned to a position that simultaneously faces to the user with the Qwerty keyboard.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2006Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignee: Lite-On Technology CorporationInventors: Christopher Chongbin Rehn, Chi-Hsiung Lin, Hsiang-Ti Hsu
