1. A bar type mobile terminal, comprising:

  • a first cover disposed at a front side of the terminal;

    a second cover disposed at a rear side of the terminal;

    a display configured to display information;

    a frame composed of a metal material, the frame comprising;

    a base portion corresponding to a position of the display on a front side of the frame;

    an edge portion along an outer periphery of the base portion, wherein an outer surface of the edge portion forms an appearance of the terminal body;

    a first non-metallic coupling portion formed between a first side of the edge portion and a lower outer periphery of the base portion;

    a second non-metallic coupling portion formed between a second side of the edge portion and an upper outer periphery of the base portion; and

    a first region and a second region partitioned from each other by a rib at a rear side of the frame;

    a circuit board coupled to one or more electronic elements and disposed between the first region of the rear side of the frame and the second cover; and

    a battery configured to supply power to the one or more electronic elements and the display, the battery disposed between the second region of the rear side of the frame and the second cover,wherein the display is disposed between the front side of the frame and the first cover,wherein at least one of sides of the edge portion of the frame is configured to emit heat generated by the one or more electronic elements or the display,wherein the first side of the edge portion comprises a first edge member and a second edge member configured to transmit or receive wireless signals at different frequency bands and are isolated from each other by a portion of the first non-metallic coupling portion,wherein the second side of the edge portion includes a third edge member and a fourth edge member configured to transmit or receive wireless signals at different frequency bands and are isolated from each other by a portion of the second non-metallic coupling portion,wherein a first slit is defined between the first edge member and the second edge member and a non-conductive material of the first non-metallic coupling portion is disposed in the first slit,wherein a second slit is defined between the third edge member and the fourth edge member and a non-conductive material of the second non-metallic coupling portion is disposed in the second slit, andwherein the first, second, third and fourth edge members are configured to operate as radiators of a plurality of antenna devices, and the plurality of antenna devices operate in a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system.
