1. A display device, comprising:
- a display panel having a display surface for images and an outer side face adjacent to said display surface;
a housing containing said display panel and having an inner surface opposed to said outer side face of said display panel;
an antenna located between said outer side face of said display panel and said inner surface of said housing;
wherein said antenna includes a radiator portion provided at a predetermined distance from a conductive material portion of said display panel and/or said housing and a ground portion connected to said portions made of conductive material;
a rib formed on the outer portion of said housing so that it projects approximate vertically to said display surface of said display panel; and
a frame filling a space between said housing and said display panel wherein said antenna is sandwiched between said rib and said frame.

Abstract
In a notebook type computer terminal, a plate type slot antenna is provided between a display panel and a surrounding wall of a display panel housing so that a radiator portion thereof is projecting from a frame of the display panel and a stay, which are made of conductive material by a length more than a predetermined dimension S. A ground portion of the antenna is connected not only to a ground of a radio transceiver unit but also to the display panel housing made of conductive material through the stay.
