Mobile terminal device and sensor module
View Patent ↗A mobile terminal device includes a face panel provided on an exterior of a housing, a sensor module that detects that the face panel is touched, where the sensor module is provided on a more inward side of the housing than the face panel, a light-emitting unit provided with a light-emitting member that emits light when the sensor module detects that the face panel is touched, where the light-emitting unit is provided on a more inward side of the housing than the sensor module, and a connection unit that makes an electrical connection between the sensor module and the light-emitting unit.
1. A mobile terminal device, comprising:
a face panel provided on an exterior of a housing;
a flexible printed circuit board, provided in the face panel, including a first planar part, a second planar part, and a curve portion which couples the first planar part and the second planar part so as to create a space between a first surface of the first planar part and a second surface of the second planar part, the first planar part facing the second planar part, the flexible printed circuit board including:
an electrostatic sensor module, located between the face panel and a third surface of the first planar part on the side of the face panel and opposite to the first surface, that detects that the face panel is touched, and
a light emitter provided with a light-emitting member, located in the space and on the second surface of the second planar part, that emits light when the sensor module detects that the face panel is touched,
wherein the flexible printed circuit board provides an electrical connection between the sensor module and the light-emitting unit,
wherein the electrostatic sensor module has a hole formed in the vicinity of a position facing to the light-emitting member.
2. The mobile terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the electrostatic sensor is in contact with the face panel and the third surface of the first planar part.
3. The mobile terminal device according to claim 1 , further comprising,
a first spacer provided on the second surface of the second planar part and between the first surface of the first planar part and the second surface of the second planar part.
4. The mobile terminal device according to claim 3 , further comprising,
a second spacer provided on the second surface of the second planar part and between the first surface of the first planar part and the second surface of the second planar part.
5. The mobile terminal device according to claim 4 , wherein the light emitter is provided between the first spacer and the second spacer and lateral to the first spacer and the second spacer.
