Abstract

A mobile terminal device includes a liquid-crystal portion that displays an image; a substrate that sandwiches another component between one surface of the substrate and the liquid crystal portion, and that has another surface that is provided with a control circuit; a connecting portion that connects the liquid-crystal portion and the control circuit; and a spacer member formed of an insulator and interposed between the another surface of the substrate and the connecting portion.

Claims (14)

1. A mobile terminal device comprising:

a liquid-crystal portion that displays an image;

a substrate that sandwiches another component between one surface of the substrate and the liquid crystal portion, and that has another surface that is provided with a control circuit;

a connecting portion that connects the liquid-crystal portion and the control circuit;

a spacer member formed of an insulator and interposed between the another surface of the substrate and the connecting portion; and

an auxiliary member that is disposed at a position where the auxiliary member and the spacer member sandwich a part of the connecting portion therebetween and is configured to narrow a movable range of the part of the connecting portion when the liquid crystal portion is pressed.

2. The mobile terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion includes a cable having flexibility and a connector that connects the cable to the control circuit, and

wherein the spacer member has a thickness substantially equal to a distance between the another surface and the cable when the cable is connected to the control circuit via the connector, and is interposed between the another surface and the cable.

3. The mobile terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid-crystal portion further comprises:

a liquid-crystal module that is connected to the control circuit via the connecting portion and that outputs an image;

a liquid-crystal panel that displays the image output from the liquid-crystal module; and

a touch-screen that is adhered to the liquid-crystal panel and that detects contact on the liquid-crystal panel.

4. The mobile terminal device according to claim 3 , wherein the liquid-crystal module has a first area that outputs the image, and a second area that is formed thinner than the first area, and

wherein the spacer member is interposed between the another surface of the substrate and the connecting portion at a position corresponding to the second area.
