Abstract

According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a mobile apparatus including: a resin body having a circumferential portion; a loop antenna disposed along the circumferential portion; and a printed circuit board configured to mount electronic components thereon, wherein the resin body is formed continuously and the loop antenna and the printed circuit board are embedded in the resin body.

Claims

1. A mobile apparatus comprising:

a resin body having a circumferential portion;

a loop antenna disposed along the circumferential portion; and

a printed circuit board configured to mount electronic components thereon,

wherein the resin body is formed continuously and the loop antenna and the printed circuit board are embedded in the resin body.

2. The mobile apparatus of claim 1, wherein the loop antenna includes a conductive plate that is disposed parallel to a thickness direction of the resin body.

3. The mobile apparatus of claim 2, wherein the conductive plate includes a plurality of looped plates that are superimposed in a direction from the circumferential portion to a center of the resin body.

4. The mobile apparatus of claim 2, wherein the conductive plate includes a plurality of looped plates that are superimposed within a same face parallel to the thickness direction.

5. The mobile apparatus of claim 1, wherein:

the electronic components include at least an operation key and a display unit, the operation key having an operation face, the display unit having a display face; and

the operation key and the display unit are provided so that the operation face and the display face are exposed outside the resin body.

6. The mobile apparatus of claim 1, wherein the resin body includes a back face, the back face having visible user information printed thereon.

7. A mobile apparatus comprising:

a body having a flat-boxed shape;

a loop antenna; and

a printed circuit board configured to mount electronic components thereon,

wherein the body is formed of resin and the loop antenna and the printed circuit board are embedded in the body.

8. The mobile apparatus of claim 7, wherein the body has a circumferential portion and the loop antenna is disposed along the circumferential portion.

9. The mobile apparatus of claim 8, wherein the loop antenna includes a conductive plate that is disposed parallel to a thickness direction of the body.

10. The mobile apparatus of claim 9, wherein the conductive plate includes a plurality of looped plates that are superimposed in a direction from the circumferential portion to a center of the body.

11. The mobile apparatus of claim 9, wherein the conductive plate includes a plurality of looped plates that are superimposed within a same face parallel to the thickness direction.

12. The mobile apparatus of claim 7, wherein:

the electronic components include at least an operation key and a display unit, the operation key having an operation face, the display unit having a display face; and

the operation key and the display unit are provided so that the operation face and the display face are exposed outside the body.

13. The mobile apparatus of claim 7, wherein the body includes a back face, the back face having visible user information printed thereon.

14. A mobile phone comprising:

a body having a flat-boxed shape;

a loop antenna; and

a printed circuit board configured to mount electronic components thereon,

wherein the body is formed of resin and the loop antenna and the printed circuit board are embedded in the body.

15. The mobile phone of claim 14, wherein the body has a circumferential portion and the loop antenna is disposed along the circumferential portion.

16. The mobile phone of claim 15, wherein the loop antenna includes a conductive plate that is disposed parallel to a thickness direction of the body.

17. The mobile phone of claim 16, wherein the conductive plate includes a plurality of looped plates that are superimposed in a direction from the circumferential portion to a center of the body.

18. The mobile phone of claim 16, wherein the conductive plate includes a plurality of looped plates that are superimposed within a same face parallel to the thickness direction.

19. The mobile phone of claim 14, wherein:

the electronic components include at least an operation key and a display unit, the operation key having an operation face, the display unit having a display face; and

the operation key and the display unit are provided so that the operation face and the display face are exposed outside the body.

20. The mobile phone of claim 14, wherein the body includes a back face, the back lace having visible user information printed thereon.
