Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device which is formed thin while maintaining good display by a liquid crystal display unit. Specifically disclosed is an electronic device wherein a main substrate (130) mounted with an electronic component is so arranged as to face a reflecting sheet (126) which is formed on the back surface of a liquid crystal display unit (110). A flexible substrate (140) arranged between the liquid crystal display unit (110) and the main substrate (130) is connected to a surface (132) of the main substrate (130), which surface (132) is on the side of the reflecting sheet (126). A protective sheet (150) covering the reflecting sheet (126) is interposed between the flexible substrate (140) and the reflecting sheet (126).

Abstract: To provide a liquid-crystal display device that can be miniaturized while optimum brightness is ensured, as well as a portable terminal using the liquid-crystal display device. In a liquid-crystal display device, a first sensor 7 is situated on a metallic wiring layer 35; blocks light from a backlight 5; is placed in an open area which is not covered with a black matrix 21 with respect to external light; and detects incident external light. A second sensor 8 is placed at a position other than location of the metallic wiring layer, and detects light from the backlight. A control section 103 adjusts the brightness of the backlight 5 in accordance with the intensity of external light detected by the first optical sensor 7 and the brightness of the backlight detected by the second optical sensor 8.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device capable of utilizing a backlight more effectively and more effectually and a mobile terminal device equipped with the liquid crystal display device are provided. A liquid crystal panel 6 of the liquid crystal display device contains a first display area on which a color display is given and a second display area on which a black and white display is given, and both areas are formed integrally to constitute the liquid crystal panel. The first display area contains color filters 63 and a black matrix 67, and the second display area does not contain the color filters 63 and the black matrix 67.

Abstract: A problem of this invention is to satisfy both of securement of visibility of a display unit and suppression of noises at the time of a telephone call etc. using a receiver and a microphone. In a portable terminal apparatus which relates to the invention, a control unit (16) judges whether a handsfree device (20) is connected or not, on the occasion that a telephone call operation is carried out by an operation unit (18) and a voice telephone call operation by a telephone call circuit (11) and a transmission/receiving unit (12) is started, and in case that the handsfree device (20) is not connected, it is judged that a user is making a telephone call by use of a receiver (13) and a microphone (14) in an apparatus main body in such a state that he puts an apparatus casing to his ear part, and at least one of a drive system, drive frequency of a display unit (19) which comprises a liquid crystal display is changed, and a drive operation giving priority over acoustic characteristics is carried out.

Abstract: If a received signal includes a message signal following the address of the pager concerned, a decoder section decodes the message signal and a control section stores it in a memory section together with a reception time. At this time, the control section judges whether the message signal includes a sender identification code or a consecutive transmission code. If either code exists, the control section stores it in the memory section together with the message. The control section reads message data from the memory section, and a display control section controls a display section to display the message. If the message includes a sender identification code or a continuous transmission code, the control section searches for messages to be displayed together with the current message from among the other messages stored in the memory section, and the display control section controls the display section to display the found messages en bloc.

Abstract: A wireless selective calling receiver 10 and an external registering device 20 are connected to each other through a signal transmitting line 8. Optional character or pattern data inputted by the external registering device 20 are converted into electrical signal data in the external registering device 20, and outputted to the wireless selective calling receiver 10. The character or pattern data which have been converted into the electrical signal data are applied through the signal transmitting line 8 to the control section 2 of the wireless selective calling receiver 10, and are stored in the memory section 3 of the wireless selective calling receiver 10 or directly stored in the memory section of the wireless selective calling receiver 10 from the external registering device 20, whereby optional character or pattern data inputted by the external registering device 20 can be newly registered in the memory section in the wireless selective calling receiver 10.
