Abstract

An organic EL display formed by welding a lid body and a substrate is arranged in a recessed surface of a cabinet; and at least two cushions are arranged between a bottom surface of the recessed surface and the substrate, the cushions being spaced apart from each other along a longitudinal direction of the cabinet. A friction reducing layer, which friction with the substrate of the organic EL display is small, is formed on the cushion, and the substrate is slidable on the cushion.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal device having a cabinet with a longitudinal direction and a recessed surface with a bottom surface, comprising:

a display including a lid body and a substrate welded together, wherein the display is positioned in the recessed surface of the cabinet; and

at least two cushions spaced apart from each other along the longitudinal direction of the cabinet between the bottom surface of the recessed surface and the substrate;

wherein the mobile terminal device further including a friction reducing layer formed on at least one cushion of the at least two cushions, wherein the friction reducing layer is positioned between the at least one cushion and the substrate and the friction reducing layer is slidable with respect to the substrate.

2. The mobile terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the display includes a first end and a second end, wherein at least a first cushion of the at least two cushions is positioned on the first end and at least a second cushion of the at least two cushions is positioned on the second end and wherein the at least first and second cushion are positioned along the longitudinal direction of the cabinet.

3. The mobile terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the recessed surface includes a peripheral edge portion and the mobile terminal device further includes a transparent cover that covers the recessed surface of the cabinet, the transparent cover including a peripheral edge portion and a lower surface;

the display is attached to the lower surface of the transparent cover; and

a tape attaching the peripheral edge portion of the transparent cover to the peripheral edge portion of the recessed surface, the tape having a buffering effect.
