This display comprises a display panel, an upper frame having a first opening for exposing a display surface of the display panel, a first flexible printed wiring board for the display panel having a first end connected to the display panel and a second end curvedly arranged on the lower side of the display panel, a reinforcing sheet arranged between the lower side of the display panel and the curvedly arranged first flexible printed wiring board and a lower frame engaging with the upper frame.

Abstract: A display and a mobile device are provided that can prevent damage to the display panel due to impact such as a fall. The display includes: a display panel; an upper metal frame that is disposed on the display panel, and houses the display panel; and a first buffer member that is made of a cushioning material, and is interposed between the upper metal frame and the upper face of the display panel.

Abstract: A display is provided that can prevent light leakage from the backlight source to the display region via the inner side faces of the frame. Such a display includes: a display panel that has a display region; a frame that houses the display panel; a backlight source that is disposed on the back face side of the display panel; and a light shielding portion that is formed on the display panel and covers the regions other than the display region of the display panel. The light shielding portion includes a light leakage preventing portion that is designed to partially protrude toward a side end face of the display panel when viewed from the top, and prevents light leakage from the backlight source.

Abstract: A display is provided that can prevent uplift of a flexible printed circuit board due to flexure deformation of the flexible printed circuit board. The display includes: a display panel; a frame that houses the display panel; a backlight source that is disposed on the backside of the display panel; and a first flexible printed circuit board for backlight that is electrically connected to the backlight source, and extends from the inside of the frame to the outside of the frame. The frame has an uplift preventing member that prevents uplift of the first flexible printed circuit board.

Abstract: A display includes: a display panel; a flexible printed circuit board that is attached to the display panel at a first height; and a frame that has the display panel disposed therein. The frame includes a guide portion that pulls the flexible printed circuit board to the outside of the frame, with the height of the flexible printed circuit board being varied from the first height to a second height by bending the flexible printed circuit board.

Abstract: This invention provides a foldable portable telephone which comprises a main body case 1 provided with manual keys 12, and a closure case 2 connected to the main body case 1 by a hinge mechanism for covering the manual keys 12, and which is adapted to detect electrically the closure case 2 in its opened state or closed state relative to the main body case 1. The main body case 1 and the closure case 2 are respectively provided with barrel portions 14, 23 being aligned coaxially with an axis of rotation of the hinge mechanism. Opposed faces of the two barrel portions 14, 23 are respectively provided with contact pieces 4, 5. The two pieces 4, 5 are in contact with/away from each other corresponding to opening or closing the closure case 2, to detect electrically opened or closed state of the closure case 2.

Abstract: The invention provides a portable input device comprising a front panel 2 providing a portion of a casing, and a touch panel 3 accommodated in a recessed portion 24 formed in the front panel 2. The recessed portion 24 has a transparent part opposed to the screen of a display 6. The surface of the front panel 2 is provided with an exterior sheet 4 covering the touch panel 3 in the recessed portion 24. The exterior sheet 4 has a transparent portion opposed to a manipulation surface of the touch panel 3. An outer peripheral portion of the exterior sheet 4 has a rear surface adhered to the surface of a panel affixing portion 27 formed around the recessed portion 24. The input device is easy to assemble and usable for inputting data without the likelihood of dust and the like ingressing into the device.

Abstract: A key input device including a dome sheet provided over a base plate and having a plurality of dome portions, and a plurality of manual keys disposed above the dome sheet. Each of the dome portions is elastically restorably inverted by being depressed by the corresponding manual key to close contacts. The plurality of the manual keys described include a seesaw key with a pivotal pin, and the dome sheet has a flat sheet portion formed around the dome portions and includes an inner region extending inwardly of dome portions to be selectively depressed by a seesaw key, and an outer region extending outwardly of the dome portion. A spacer sheet is interposed between the base plate and the dome sheet to thereby position the inner region of the flat sheet portion of the dome sheet at a lower level than the outer region. The seesaw key pivotally moves about the contact portion of the pivotal pin and the inner region, whereby one of the dome portions is depressed.

Abstract: A portable wireless communications device including a casing having a circuit board accommodated therein for wireless communication and a cell chamber formed therein for accommodating a cell serving as a power source for the circuit board, the casing being formed with a peripheral wall defining the cell chamber and having an opening at each of an inlet side of the cell chamber and a bottom side thereof. The opening at the inlet side of the cell chamber is removably provided with a lid for closing the opening, and the opening at the bottom side of the cell chamber is fixedly provided with a sheet for closing the opening. This construction makes the device more compact and reduced in thickness.

Abstract: A foldable portable telephone of the invention comprises a main body case 1, and a closure case 2 connected to the case 1 by a pair of hinge mechanisms 10, 10′. On the hinge mechanisms, 10, comprises cylindrical barrel portions 13, 22 provided respectively on the main body case 1 and the closure case 2, and a hinge assembly 4 inserted through the barrel portions. The hinge assembly 4 comprises a main body drive member in engagement with the barrel portion 13 on the main body case 1 nonrotatably relative thereto, a closure drive member in engagement with the barrel portion 22 on the closure case 2 nonrotatably relative thereto, a prime mover spring for rotating the closure drive member in a direction to open the closure case 2, a holding mechanism for holding the closure case 2 in a closed position, a manual button 41 to be manipulated to open the closure case 2, and a hold release mechanism for releasing the holding mechanism from the holding state in response to the manipulation of the manual button.

Abstract: A compact electronic device of portable type comprises a flexible sheet 3 on which a plurality of flexible switches 2 are arranged and having a flat board portion 4 being in close contact with a surface of a chassis 1 and a flat cable portion 5 extending from the flat plate portion 4. Provided on an end of the flat cable portion 5 is a terminal portion 6 to be connected to the connector 32 on a circuit board 31. Formed on an end portion of the chassis 1 is a lift-up prevention piece 8 for preventing a part of the flat plate portion 4 of the flexible sheet 3 from being lifted up from a surface of the chassis 1. The lift-up prevention piece 8 is not only constructed as to pass the flat cable portion 5 of the flexible sheet 3 through, but also can be formed into a hook-shape to hook the flat cable portion 5 of the flexible sheet 3.
