First Claim
1. A portable electronic device, comprising:
- a housing that includes an upper case coupled to a lower case to enclose a prescribed space there between;
a main board installed inside the case that mounts at least one circuit part;
an LCD module positioned at an upper side of the main board that includes an LCD and a touch screen; and
an LCD module connector device installed between the main board and the LCD module that electronically connects the main board and the LCD module when the main board and the LCD module are horizontally mutually combined, wherein the LCD module connector device includes;
an LCD connector mounted to a side of the LCD module; and
a main board connector mounted to an upper side of and protruding from the main board, and wherein directly engaging the LCD connector to the main board connector connects the LCD module to the main board.

Abstract
A portable electronic device includes a main board fixed inside a case that mounts various circuit parts, an LCD module positioned at an upper side of the main board that has an LCD, an internal frame and a touch screen and an LCD module connecting unit installed for electronic connection between the main board and the LCD module when the main board and the LCD module are mutually combined or assembled. Since the main board connector is installed at the main board and the LCD connector is mounted at one side of the LCD module, when the LCD module is assembled at the main board, the LCD connector and the main board connector are mutually connected. Thus, no electric connection work is necessary, and thus, its assembling is simple and assembly process can be shortened. Further, the LCD module connecting unit can directly connect the main board and the LCD module through a support member therebetween that can include a heat sink for the main board.
