Patent number: 6958454Abstract: A navigation switch apparatus with simple construction is capable of operating in eight directions including longitudinal, lateral and diagonal directions. The apparatus has a printed circuit board having four conductors provided thereon with small spaces between each conductor. Together the conductors are shaped like a doughnut. A cap-shaped body arranged opposite the printed circuit board is provided with short-circuiters for making contact with the respective four conductors when a navigation lever is operated in the eight directions. Each conductor includes two opposing comb-shaped conductive layers. The central portion of one conductive layer has a diametrically directed comparatively-coarse comb shape. Both of the end portions of the other conductive layer have a circumferentially directed comparatively-fine comb shape, and the cap-shaped body has a thin-walled portion on its outer periphery.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2003Date of Patent: October 25, 2005Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Sekine, Shingo Kume, Taichi Tabata, Akinori Oohira

Patent number: 6614650Abstract: This invention provides a portable terminal apparatus increasing brightness at a light emitting portion of the portable terminal apparatus. Light emitted from a light source is made to be incident from an engaging portion of a conducted light emitting portion and is diffused at inside of the conducted light emitting portion. The diffused light is reflected by surfaces of a bottom face portion and side face portions and of a recessed portion, the reflected light is further diffused and emitted by a conducted light emitting member at a vicinity of a surface of the recessed portion and therefore, brightness of the conducted light emitting portion at the vicinity of the recessed portion can be increased.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2002Date of Patent: September 2, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Taichi Tabata
