Abstract

A protector for a wired/wireless data transmitting/receiving terminal and a wired/wireless data transmitting/receiving terminal having the same. The protector prevents a display or a touch screen from getting damaged while maintaining characteristics and commercial value of the terminal employing a digitizer (touch screen) as a display or input device. A data transmitting/receiving terminal comprises a sheet protector installed on a display or a touch screen of a terminal bodyand includes a support band capable of attaching the sheet protector as a complementary structure to one end at regions at least excluding a display area. The protector includes a support band supported or attached to the support band of the terminal body and extends from the support band so as to cover the display and the touch screen. The invention can be applied to a protector for a display.

Claims
