Mobile terminal
A mobile terminal is provided. The mobile terminal a case having an inner space where electronic components are mounted, a display arranged in the inner space of the case, the display being exposed at a front surface of the case, an audio output module arranged in the inner space of the case to output sound, a circuit board arranged in the inner space of the case, the circuit board having a circuit pattern to transmit an electric signal, a bracket coupled to a back surface of the display, the bracket including a metallic plate and an injection mold configured to partially cover the metallic plate and an electric current carrying structure configured to electrically connect the metal plate to at least one of the display, the audio output module and the circuit board.
1. A mobile terminal comprising:
a case having an inner space where electronic components are mounted;
a display arranged in the inner space of the case, the display being exposed at a front surface of the case;
a circuit board arranged in the inner space of the case, the circuit board having a circuit pattern to transmit an electric signal;
an interface unit having a socket having an opening to insert the external input/output terminal therein and a pin electrically connected with the external input/output terminal to receive an electric power or signal;
a terminal inserting hole formed in a lower end of the case;
a bracket coupled to a back surface of the display, the bracket including a metallic plate and an injection mold partially covering a surface of the metallic plate,
wherein the bracket includes:
a first bracket coupled to the back surface of the display; and
a second bracket extending from the first bracket and including a recess extended downward to extend away from the back surface of the display, the recess being configured to seat the interface unit therein,
wherein the interface unit is arranged in the terminal inserting hole to expose the pin via the terminal inserting hole, and
wherein at least one surface of the recess exposes a portion of the metallic plate to exhaust the static electricity applied to the interface unit and the other surfaces of the recess are covered by the injection mold.
2. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein a double-sided tape is attached to the at least one portion of the metallic plate.
3. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the circuit board is coupled to a front surface of the second bracket to cover the recess, and
wherein a back surface of the circuit board is electrically connected with the interface unit to transmit and receive an electric signal.
4. The mobile terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the circuit board is a flexible circuit board.
5. The mobile terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the interface unit further includes a coupling projection coupled to the circuit board by passing through the circuit board.
6. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , further comprising a metal mesh configured to electrically connect the metallic plate to the audio output module.
