## Abstract

Disclosed are a mobile terminal and a method for manufacturing same. The mobile terminal of the present invention comprises: a receiver for receiving voice signals; a combination receiver LED lens and bracket having a receiver accommodation portion for accommodating the receiver; an LED lens, which is provided together with the combination receiver LED lens and bracket by means of a dual-injection molding method, so as to be integrally coupled to the combination receiver LED lens and bracket; and a front surface case having a bracket accommodation portion for accommodating the combination receiver LED lens and bracket. According to the present invention, provided are the mobile terminal and the method for manufacturing same, having a simplified manufacturing process and thereby increasing the efficiency and reduce loss during the process, the mobile terminal which is easily assembled and disassembled and thereby rendering the production and repair efficient, and which has a superior waterproof function.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A mobile terminal comprising:
a receiver for receiving voice signals;
an LED lens for transmitting light of an LED;
a combination receiver LED lens and bracket for supporting both of the receiver and the LED lens; and
a front surface case having a bracket accommodation portion and accommodating the combination receiver LED lens and bracket.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the LED lens and the combination receiver LED lens and bracket are integrally formed by a dual-injection molding method.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the combination receiver LED lens and bracket comprises:
a bracket body portion for supporting the receiver and the LED lens;
a receiver accommodation portion provided in the bracket body portion and accommodating the receiver; and
a decoration member accommodation portion provided in the bracket body portion and accommodating a receiver decoration member.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein, in the combination receiver LED lens and bracket, a lens through-hole, to which the LED lens is coupled, is formed in the bracket body portion that is adjacent to opposite sides of the receiver accommodation portion.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the LED lens comprises:
at least one penetration portion having a tapered rectangular column shape;
a front surface display portion for displaying light of the LED on a front surface of the mobile terminal; and
a connection portion for connecting the penetration portions.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The mobile terminal of claim 5, wherein, in a state in which the penetration portion of the LED lens is inserted in the lens through-hole, the LED lens and the combination receiver LED lens and bracket are integrally formed by a dual-injection molding method.

### Claim 7 (depends on 3)

The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein a receiver through-hole is formed in the bracket body portion to penetrate the receiver accommodation portion and the decoration member accommodation portion.

### Claim 8 (depends on 3)

The mobile terminal of claim 3, further comprising a waterproof member that is provided in an area around a portion where the combination receiver LED lens and bracket is accommodated in the bracket accommodation portion.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The mobile terminal of claim 8, wherein waterproof silicon is provided as the waterproof member.

### Claim 10 (depends on 3)

The mobile terminal of claim 3, further comprising a felt that is provided between the receiver and the receiver accommodation portion when the receiver is accommodated in the receiver accommodation portion.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The mobile terminal of claim 10, wherein the felt is provided as a waterproof material.

### Claim 12 (depends on 3)

The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein the receiver decoration member comprises:
a decoration member portion having a semi-cylindrical shape and having a surface in which a plurality of fine pores are formed; and
a wing portion extending from both end portions of the decoration member portion in a flat panel shape and coupled to the combination receiver LED lens and bracket.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the front surface case includes a front surface through-hole that is formed by penetrating a panel in a partial area of the bracket accommodation portion.

### Claim 14

A method for manufacturing a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
providing a front surface case having a bracket accommodation portion;
coupling an LED lens for transmitting light of an LED to a combination receiver LED lens and bracket that supports both of a receiver for receiving voice signals and the LED lens;
coupling the receiver to the receiver accommodation portion of the combination receiver LED lens and bracket;
coupling a receiver decoration member to a decoration member accommodation portion of the combination receiver LED lens and bracket;
coupling the combination receiver LED lens and bracket to the bracket accommodation portion of the front surface case; and
sealing a waterproof member in an area around a portion where the combination receiver LED lens and bracket is accommodated in the bracket accommodation portion.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein, in the coupling of the LED lens, the LED lens and the combination receiver LED lens and bracket are integrally formed by a dual-injection molding method.

### Claim 16 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, further comprising coupling a felt to the receiver accommodation portion after the coupling of the LED lens.

### Claim 17 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein, in the sealing of the waterproof member, the combination receiver LED lens and bracket and the front surface case are coupled to each other by sealing waterproof silicon in an area around a portion where the combination receiver LED lens and bracket is accommodated in the bracket accommodation portion.
