Patent number: 9380714Abstract: A portable terminal includes a display module and a case member coupled to the display module. A face of the case member is formed to have a center portion and an edge, which are different from each other in their heights to thereby support a center portion of the display module in lengthwise and widthwise directions of the display module respectively. The portable terminal configured above supports a rear face of the flat display module using at least one of a portion protruded from the case member and a stiff material film, to thereby diffuse an impact exerted on a display device to the case member. Thus, it is possible to relieve the damage to the flat display device due to an external impact.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hyun-Suk Shin, Seok-Gyu Lee
