Abstract

An electronic device and an antenna device are provided that use a coil module which is thinned without losing the characteristics of the coil module and which can be mounted in a narrowed space. A coil module including a loop-shaped antenna coil wounded in a planar shape and a sheet-shaped magnetic sheet which is formed of a magnetic material and which overlaps with at least a part of the antenna coil is included. In the coil module, a part of the antenna coil is overlapped with an internal structure of a housing and the magnetic sheet is provided in a position that does not overlap with the internal structure on an antenna coil surface side that overlaps with the internal structure.

Claims (28)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a coil module including a loop coil wounded in a planar shape, which is formed on a surface of a non-magnetic flexible substrate, and a sheet-shaped magnetic sheet which is formed of a magnetic material and which overlaps with only a first part of the loop coil and which is adhered to a different surface of the non-magnetic flexible substrate,

wherein in the coil module, a second part of the loop coil overlaps with an internal structure of a housing only through the non-magnetic flexible substrate and the magnetic sheet is provided in a position that does not overlap with the internal structure on a loop coil surface side that overlaps with the internal structure.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a part or all of the internal structure is a metal body.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein in the coil module, one side extending from a center of the loop coil and/or the other side extending from the center of the loop coil are formed in a position that does not overlap with the internal structure and the magnetic sheet overlaps with the one side and/or the other side of the loop coil.

4. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein the magnetic sheet overlaps with a part of the one side of the loop coil.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein in the coil module, a center of the loop coil is positioned at an outer edge of the internal structure.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein in the coil module, a portion which does not overlap with the internal structure is bent.

7. An electronic device comprising:

a coil module including a loop coil wounded in a planar shape, which is formed on a surface of a non-magnetic flexible substrate, and a sheet-shaped magnetic sheet which is formed of a magnetic material and which overlaps with only a first part of the loop coil and which is adhered to a different surface of the non-magnetic flexible substrate; and

a conductor that overlaps with a second part of the loop coil only through the non-magnetic flexible substrate,

wherein the magnetic sheet is provided in a position which does not overlap with the conductor and which is on a surface opposite to a loop coil surface that overlaps with the conductor.

8. The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein a part of the conductor is overlapped with or connected to an internal structure of a housing.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein a part or all of the internal structure is a metal body.

10. The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein

in the coil module, one side of a center of the loop coil and/or the other side of the center of the loop coil are formed in a position that does not overlap with the conductor, and

the magnetic sheet overlaps with the one side and/or the other side of the loop coil.

11. The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein the magnetic sheet overlaps with a part of the one side of the loop coil.

12. The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein in the coil module, a center of the loop coil is arranged to an outer edge of the conductor.

13. The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein in the coil module, a portion which does not overlap with the conductor is bent.

14. An antenna device which is included in an electronic device and communicates with an external device through an electromagnetic field signal, the antenna device comprising:

a coil module which is provided on an inner surface of one member that forms a housing of the electronic device and which includes a loop coil wounded in a planar shape, which is formed on a surface of a non-magnetic flexible substrate, and a sheet-shaped magnetic sheet which is formed of a magnetic material and which overlaps with only a first part of the loop coil and which is adhered to a different surface of the non-magnetic flexible substrate; and

a conductor that forms a part of the one member,

wherein in the coil module, a second part of the loop coil overlaps with the conductor only through the non-magnetic flexible substrate and the magnetic sheet is provided in a position that does not overlap with the conductor on a surface opposite to a loop coil surface that overlaps with the conductor.

15. The antenna device according to claim 14 , wherein in the coil module, one side of a center of the loop coil and/or the other side of the center of the loop coil are formed in a position that does not overlap with the conductor and the magnetic sheet overlaps with the one side and/or the other side of the loop coil.

16. The antenna device according to claim 15 , wherein the magnetic sheet overlaps with a part of the one side of the loop coil.

17. The antenna device according to claim 14 , wherein in the coil module, a center of the loop coil is arranged to an outer edge of the conductor.

18. The antenna device according to claim 14 , wherein in the coil module, a portion which does not overlap with the conductor is bent.
