Abstract
An infrared data communication device which enables data transmission by infrared light, without provision of dedicated light projection/receiving windows and an infrared light emitting device or an infrared light detector on an outer packaging body of the device. An infrared light detector 19 is arranged on a circuit substrate 18 on an inside of a liquid crystal panel of a liquid crystal display 11, and then infrared data is received via the liquid crystal panel to convert electrically and send out to an infrared communicating portion. Also, a light emitting diode 15c, which informs a user of an incoming call by flashing, and an infrared light emitting device 15b are arranged on an inside of a photogenesis transparency component 15a of a lighting display portion 15, and the infrared data are emitted (transmitted) from the infrared light emitting device 15b via the photogenesis transparency component 15a.
