  • Patent number: 8964362
    Abstract: A handheld electronic device, including a first body, a second body, a sliding module and at least one rotating module. The sliding module is coupled to the second body, so that the second body is suitable for sliding between a first position and a second position. The rotating module is coupled between the first body and the sliding module, so that the second body is suitable for rotating relative to the first body. The second body receives a force to rotate from the second position to a critical position. When the second body passes the critical position, the rotating module releases a potential stored when the second body receives the force to drive the second body to rotate to a third position and form an included angle between the first body and the second body. A sliding mechanism assembly is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8933902
    Abstract: In a touch panel and display panel structure or an integrated touch display panel structure, an antenna pattern is disposed on a touch module, a display module or an integrated touch display module for an increased distance between the antenna pattern and electronic components below the structure, reducing electromagnetic effect caused by the electronic components and improving the antenna performance. The antenna pattern is arranged at two opposite edges of a top surface of the touch and display module or the integrated touch display module, and also at side surfaces of a housing non-coplanar to the top surface such that the antenna pattern is located outside the displaying area of the display module. Maintaining the effective antenna area and enhancing the working bandwidth of the antenna, the side width of surface of the touch panel and display panel structure or the integrated touch display panel structure is significantly reduced.
