Abstract: A mobile terminal includes a front housing made of a light-transmitting material and provided with edge parts, at least one of which is rounded or bent to be inclined which causes optical illusions so as to provide visual mystique. A display unit is provided under the front housing. A circuit substrate is provided under the display unit. A rear housing is provided to accommodate the display unit and the circuit substrate together with the front housing. A middle housing is provided between the front housing and the rear housing. The middle housing includes a receipt part to accommodate the display unit, and boundary parts connecting the receipt part and edge parts of the middle housing and disposed under the edge parts of the front housing. The edge part of the middle housing is protruded from the boundary part of the middle housing in a horizontal direction.

Abstract: A mobile terminal is disclosed, by which a user is facilitated to carry and use a terminal in a simple and easy way. According to the present invention, since a camera module is configured in a manner that a protective cover is provided not to a case but to a module body, it is advantageous in protecting a lens unit provided to the module body before installing the camera module at the case. While light passes through a protective cover, a protective cover physically isolates an inside of a camera module from an outside to prevent external particles from being introduced into the camera module. Therefore, it is advantageous in enhancing durability of the camera module. A loading portion is provided to a case to guide an installation position of a camera module. A separate cover is not added to the case. And, a protective cover of a camera module is directly exposed to outside. Therefore, accumulation of numerical value tolerance is barely generated and an assembly process is simplified.

Abstract: A case for a portable terminal includes a case body having a surface provided with a recessed area and a sheet formed of fibers, and is inserted into the recessed area so that end portions of the sheet is covered by the case body. The portable terminal includes the case. A method for manufacturing the case is also discussed.

Abstract: An input device includes a scroll unit installed on a case and configured to select a menu, a manipulation unit configured to operate a menu selected by the scroll unit and having a translucent region, and a menu display unit mounted on a rear surface of the manipulation unit and configured to display the menu selected by the scroll unit through the translucent region.

Abstract: A mobile terminal having a terminal body and a keypad located on the terminal body is provided. The keypad includes a plurality of keys configured to input information, a plurality of light emitting units, each light emitting unit being associated with a corresponding key of the plurality of keys to separately illuminate the corresponding key, a shielding member to reduce leakage of light from an activated light emitting unit to adjacent keys, and a control unit configured to detect when one of the plurality of keys is operated and to activate at least the light emitting unit associated with the operated key.

Abstract: A mobile terminal including a main body having a wireless communication module, a first display module disposed on a front surface of the main body and configured to display first information, a first input unit disposed on the front surface of the main body and configured to input first information into the mobile terminal, a second display module disposed on a rear surface of the main body and configured to display second information, and a control unit configured to control the wireless communication module, the first and second display modules, and the first input unit.

Abstract: An input device and mobile terminal having the same is provided. The input device includes a housing having at least one transmissive region, a touch board located substantially adjacent the housing, the touch board being configured to sense a touch applied to the housing, a plurality of light emitting units, each light emitting unit being at least partially located in or on the touch board, and a controller configured to selectively turn on at least one of the light emitting units to be visible through the at least one transmissive region when the touch board senses a touch applied to the housing.

Abstract: A portable electronic device having a front cover, a rear cover, and wherein one of the front cover and the rear cover is metallic and has a pattern portion with a predetermined pattern. In addition, a portable electronic device having a front cover, a rear cover, and a metallic pattern layer provided on at least one of the covers, the metallic pattern layer having a predetermined pattern.

Abstract: A portable terminal comprising first and second bodies, and a hinge unit configured to fold or unfold the first and second bodies in a rotational manner.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mobile terminal which causes optical illusions at edge parts of a front housing so as to provide visual mystique.

Abstract: A mobile terminal having a user input unit is discussed, by which various visual effects including a 3-dimensional effect can be provided to an exterior of the mobile terminal. The present invention includes a display unit, a control unit configured to control the display unit, a body configured to load the display unit, and a 3D (3-dimensional) member provided to at least one partial region of the body, including a lens sheet configured to arrange convex lenses in a grid form, and a transparent sheet provided under the lens sheet, wherein a pattern of a specific is printed on a position corresponding to a focal distance of the convex lenses of the lens sheet.
