1. A portable terminal, comprising:
- a housing having a transparent window integrally formed therein, the housing including an opaque film located on a lower surface thereof, the opaque film having an open portion to define the transparent window;
a display disposed at the housing, the display displaying information through the transparent window; and
a touch pad disposed between the housing and the display, the touch pad permitting signal input in a capacitive manner, the touch pad having one end electrically connected to at least one of the display and a main circuitry supporting substrate via a flexible printed circuit (FPC), wherein;
the touch pad includes;
a touch sensing-unit disposed at an inner surface of the transparent window and touchable by a user'"'"'s body via the transparent window; and
a signal-transferring unit disposed at an edge of the touch-sensing unit to transfer a signal corresponding to a coordinate value read by the touch-sensing unit; and
the FPC includes a control circuit mounted thereon, the control circuit being configured to convert the signal generated by the signal transferring unit into the coordinate value and to transfer the coordinate value to a controller of the main circuitry supporting substrate.
