MOBILE TERMINAL AND AN ANTENNA FOR A MOBILE TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a body having a front surface, a rear surface positioned opposite the front surface, a first end surface positioned between the front surface and the rear surface at a first end of the body and transverse to the front surface and the rear surface, and a first side surface positioned between the front surface and the rear surface at a first side of the body, wherein the first side surface is transverse to the front surface and the rear surface and extends from the first end surface;
a first display unit positioned on the front surface of the body proximate the first end surface of the body and configured for displaying visual information; and
an antenna positioned proximate the first display unit and configured for at least transmitting or receiving a wireless signal,wherein the first display unit is a light transmissive display unit, andwherein the antenna is positioned proximate either the first end surface or the first side surface and away from the first display unit.

Abstract
A mobile terminal includes a body having a display unit for displaying at least visual information or a user input unit for inputting a control command on one surface of the display unit. The mobile terminal also includes an antenna pattern positioned near the display unit or the user input unit. The antenna pattern transmits or receives a wireless signal. The display unit or the user input unit is configured to transmit light therethrough from one surface of the body to an opposite surface of the body. The antenna pattern is formed at an end or side surface of the body that is transverse to the surface on which the display unit or user input unit is positioned and is positioned away from the display unit or the user input unit.

18. A mobile terminal, comprising:
-
a body having a front surface, a rear surface positioned opposite the front surface, a first end surface positioned between the front surface and the rear surface at a first end of the body, and a first side surface positioned between the front surface and the rear surface at a first side of the body and extending from the first end surface; a display unit positioned on the front surface of the body proximate the first end surface of the body and configured for displaying visual information; an antenna positioned on the first end surface of the body; and a circuit board electrically coupled to the antenna and configured for processing a wireless signal, wherein the circuit board is covered by the front surface of the body, wherein the antenna includes a first layer formed on the first end surface of the body and a second layer plated on the first layer, wherein the first layer of the antenna contains conductors, and wherein the second layer is formed of a conductive material and configured for at least transmitting or receiving the wireless signal. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
