Patent Images
1. An antenna apparatus for a portable terminal, the apparatus comprising:
- a main board including a ground configured to provide an electrical ground and a feed terminal configured to provide an electrical connection; and
a display device configured to electrically communicate with the main board by the medium of a Flexible Printed Circuit Board (FPCB), the display device comprising an ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) prevention ground, wherein the ESD prevention ground is disposed along an edge of the display device,wherein, if the display device is mounted above the main board, the ESD prevention ground of the display device is configured to electrically contact the feed terminal of the main board, for emission,wherein the display device comprises a display unit and a touch panel attached to the display unit, andwherein the ESD prevention ground is realized in one of the display unit and the touch panel.

Abstract
An antenna apparatus for a portable terminal includes a main board and a display device. The main board has a ground for grounding and a feed terminal for feeding. The display device electrically communicates with the main board by the medium of a Flexible Printed Circuit Board (FPCB) and has an ElectroStatic Charge (ESD) prevention ground. If the display device is mounted above the main board, the ESD prevention ground of the display device comes in electric contact with the feed terminal of the main board, for emission.
