Abstract

Provided is a portable terminal, including: a window module; a display module disposed below the window module; a housing partially surrounding the window module and the display module; and a waterproof portion disposed on at least one of a bottom surface and a side surface of the display module to impede liquids from penetrating between the display module and the housing.

Claims (40)

1. A terminal, comprising:

a window module;

a display module disposed below the window module;

a housing surrounding the window module and the display module while allowing one surface of the window module to be exposed; and

a sealant frame comprising a first frame and a second frame comprising a second arrangement member disposed between the display module and the window module, the first frame surrounding a portion of the display module, the second frame comprising a second extension member surrounding a portion of the first frame, the second arrangement member extending from the second extension member of the second frame.

2. The terminal of claim 1 , further comprising:

a sealant portion disposed between the display module and a surface of the housing.

3. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first frame and the second frame comprises stainless steel.

4. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein an interior surface of the housing is a planar surface.

5. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein an interior surface of the housing comprises a groove or a step.

6. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first frame comprises a first arrangement member disposed in a first axis and a first extension member disposed in a second axis, and

wherein the second arrangement member is disposed in the first axis and the second extension member is disposed in the second axis.

7. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the second arrangement member is disposed closer to the window module than the first arrangement member.

8. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the first extension member is longer than the second extension member.

9. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the first extension member extends toward the window module.

10. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the first extension member extends away from the window module.

11. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein an adhesive is disposed on a surface of the first arrangement member and disposed on a surface of the second extension member.

12. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the adhesive does not contact a surface of a sidewall portion of the housing disposed in the second axis.

13. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the adhesive is a one-sided tape.

14. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the first extension member overlaps the second extension member.

15. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the window module overlaps the display module but not a sidewall portion of the housing disposed in the second axis.

16. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the window module overlaps the display module and a portion of the housing, and

wherein the housing comprises a support step on which the window module is disposed.

17. The terminal of claim 1 , further comprising a rubber sidewall disposed between a sidewall portion of the housing disposed in the second axis.

18. The terminal of claim 17 , wherein the rubber sidewall has at least one protruding portion that contacts a surface of the sidewall portion of the housing.

19. A terminal, comprising:

a window module;

a display module disposed below the window module;

a housing surrounding the window module and the display module such that one surface of the window module is exposed; and

a sealant frame comprising:

a first frame comprising a first arrangement member disposed in a first axis and a first extension member disposed in a second axis; and

a second frame comprising a second arrangement member disposed in the first axis and a second extension member disposed in the second axis,

wherein the first extension member extends towards the window module and the second extension member overlaps the first extension member and extends away from the window module, and

wherein the second arrangement member is disposed between the window module and the display module.

20. A terminal, comprising:

a window module;

a display module;

a housing surrounding the window module and the display module such that one surface of the window module is exposed;

a sealant frame configured to wrap around the display module, the sealant frame comprising a first sealant portion disposed between the display module and the housing in a first axis and a second sealant portion extending from the first sealant portion, the second sealant portion facing an inner side surface of the housing; and

an adhesive disposed on the first sealant portion and the second sealant portion, the adhesive disposed on the second sealant portion being disposed between the second sealant portion and the inner side surface of the housing.
