Abstract

Information equipment according to an embodiment includes a display housing with a display unit, a first radio communication antenna disposed at an end part of the display housing, a second radio communication antenna using a frequency band adjacent to or overlapped with that of the first radio communication antenna, and a third radio communication antenna disposed at an end part between the first and the second radio communication antennas, and uses a frequency band not adjacent to nor overlapped with those of the first and the second radio communication antennas.

Claims (23)

1. Information equipment comprising:

a rectangular display housing which comprises a display unit and having an upper end part, a lower end part, a left end part, a right end part;

a first radio communication antenna which is disposed at approximately a left end of the upper end part of the display housing and uses a first communication system;

a second radio communication antenna which is disposed at approximately a right end of the upper end part of the display housing, and uses a second communication system different from the first communication system having a frequency band adjacent to or overlapped with that of the first communication system, the second radio communication antenna being disposed at a predetermined distance from the first radio communication antenna to avoid interference with the first radio communication antenna; and

a third radio communication antenna which is disposed at approximately a center position of the upper end part of the display housing between the first radio communication antenna and the second radio communication antenna, and uses a third communication system different from the first communication system and the second communication system and having a frequency band not adjacent to nor overlapped with those of the first radio communication antenna and the second radio communication antenna.

2. The information equipment of claim 1 , wherein another third radio communication antenna is disposed at approximately a center position of the right end part of the display housing.

3. The equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the housing is a display housing which contains a display, the equipment being a laptop personal computer which further comprises a main body housing rotatably connected to the display housing.

4. The equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the first, second and third wireless communication antennas are disposed linearly at an end part of the housing.

5. Information equipment comprising:

a rectangular display housing which comprises a display unit and having an upper end part, a lower end part, a left end part, a right end part;

a first radio communication antenna which is disposed at approximately a upper end of the right end part of the display housing and uses a first communication system;

a second radio communication antenna which is disposed at approximately a lower end of the right end part of the display housing, and uses a second communication system different from the first communication system and having a frequency band adjacent to or overlaps with that of the first communication system, the second radio communication antenna being disposed at a predetermined distance from the first radio communication antenna to avoid interference with the first radio communication antenna; and

a third radio communication antenna which is disposed at approximately a center position of the right end part of the display housing between the first radio communication antenna and the second radio communication antenna, and uses a third communication system different from the first communication system and the second communication system and having a frequency band not adjacent to nor overlapped with those of the first radio communication antenna and the second radio communication antenna.

6. The equipment of claim 5 , wherein the first radio communication antenna is an antenna for a wireless LAN;

the second radio communication antenna is an antenna for a cellular system capable of performing transmission and reception;

and the third radio communication antenna is an antenna for a cellular system only for reception.

7. The equipment according to claim 5 , wherein the housing is a display housing which contains a display, the equipment being a laptop personal computer which further comprises a main body housing rotatably connected to the display housing.

8. The equipment according to claim 5 , wherein the first, second and third wireless communication antennas are disposed linearly at the right end part of the housing.

9. Information equipment, comprising:

a rectangular display housing which comprises a display unit and having an upper end part, a lower end part, a left end part, a right end part;

a first radio communication antenna which is disposed at approximately a center position of the upper end part of the display housing and uses a first communication system;

a second radio communication antenna which is disposed at approximately a center position of the right end part of the display housing, and uses a second communication system different from the first communication system and having a frequency band adjacent to or overlapped with that of the first communication system, the second radio communication antenna being disposed at a predetermined distance from the first radio communication antenna to avoid interference with the first radio communication antenna; and

a third radio communication antenna which is disposed at approximately a right end of the upper end part of the display housing between the first radio communication antenna and the second radio communication antenna, and uses a third communication system different from the first communication system and the second communication system and having a frequency band not adjacent to nor overlapped with those of the first radio communication antenna and second ratio communication antenna.
