Mobile device
A mobile device is provided. The mobile device includes a panel assembly, a cover window and an adhesive tape. The panel assembly displays images and the cover window is mounted onto the panel assembly. The cover window protects the panel assembly and detects touches that occur thereon. The adhesive tape forms an open hole at the central portion to separate the cover window and the panel assembly. The adhesive tape adheres the cover window to the edge portion of the panel assembly. The adhesive tape further includes an air path part that provides an air passage for communicating an air chamber with the open hole. The air chamber fills with air. The mobile device can display images without a pooling phenomenon, and reduce the chance of malfunction when the user touches the panel assembly via the cover window.
1. A mobile device comprising:
a panel assembly for displaying images, the panel assembly forming an air chamber at its edge portion for filling with air;
a cover window, mounted onto the panel assembly, for protecting the panel assembly and for detecting touches that occur thereon; and
an adhesive tape for forming an open hole at a central portion to separate the cover window and the panel assembly, and for adhering the cover window to the edge portion of the panel assembly, wherein the adhesive tape comprises an air path part that provides an air passage for communicating the air chamber with the open hole.
2. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the panel assembly comprises:
a light guide plate for transmitting light to the cover window;
a glass panel for showing the images via the light transmitted from the light guide plate, wherein the glass panel is located between the light guide plate and the cover window; and
a panel suspension mounted to the lower side of the light guide plate, wherein ends of the panel suspension extend in the direction of the side of the light guide plate, so that the extended ends form the air chamber with the side of the glass panel.
3. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the air path part comprises at least one of an expanded hole for expanding the open hole in the adhesive tape or through-holes passing through the edge of the adhesive tape.
4. The mobile device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a panel bracket for allowing the placement of the panel suspension and for fixing the panel assembly therein,
wherein the panel bracket forms a separating groove in the middle area, and is spaced apart from the panel assembly via the separating groove.
5. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the cover window comprises at least one of polyethylene terephthalate, polymethyl methacrylate, polyamide, polyimide, polypropylene, and polyurethane.
6. The mobile device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a cover chassis forming a receiving hole to receive the cover window in one direction, wherein edges of the receiving hole protrude toward the center and serve as a stopper allowing for the placement of the cover window.
7. The mobile device of claim 6 , wherein the adhesive tape is placed in the receiving hole of the cover chassis and adheres to the cover window.
8. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein when a user of the mobile device touches the panel assembly via the cover window, air in the open hole flows into and fills the air chamber via the air path part, and then returns to the open hole, to prevent contact between the cover window and the panel assembly.
