A method of manufacturing a terminal having a speaker device, comprises forming a penetrating hole to house the speaker device at one surface of a first upper carrier, coupling a speaker grill to the penetrating hole, forming an antenna pattern at one surface of a second upper carrier separated from the first upper carrier and coupling the first upper carrier and the second upper carrier. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A terminal comprising: a first upper carrier comprising a speaker grill housed as a separate piece in a penetrating hole formed at one surface; and a second upper carrier having an antenna pattern in at least one surface and being coupled to one end of the first upper carrier. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The terminal of claim 1, wherein the speaker grill is coupled to the penetrating hole and is supported by the first upper carrier. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The terminal of claim 1, wherein a circumference of an inner wall of the penetrating hole has a multistage structure, and an outer edge circumference of the speaker grill has a multistage structure corresponding to the multistage structure of the penetrating hole. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The terminal of claim 1, wherein the first upper carrier is separated from the second upper carrier. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The terminal of claim 1, further comprising a lower carrier separated by a predetermined gap in a lower end portion of the first upper carrier and the second upper carrier. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The terminal of claim 1, wherein an upper surface of the speaker grill has one of a structure protruded further than an upper surface of the first upper carrier and a structure formed in the same plane as an upper surface of the first upper carrier. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The terminal of claim 1, wherein the speaker grill is coupled to an inner wall of a penetrating hole of the first upper carrier by at least one method, or a combination of ultrasonic bonding, thermo compression, soldering, adhesive bonding, hook, and hook home fastened to the hook. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The terminal of claim 1, wherein the first upper carrier and the second upper carrier are combined by at least one method, or a combination of ultrasonic bonding, thermo compression, soldering, adhesive bonding, hook, and hook home fastened to the hook. ### Claim 9 A method of manufacturing a terminal having a speaker device, the method comprising: forming a penetrating hole to house the speaker device at one surface of a first upper carrier; coupling a speaker grill to the penetrating hole; forming an antenna pattern at one surface of a second upper carrier separated from the first upper carrier; and coupling the first upper carrier and the second upper carrier. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein forming the penetrating hole comprises forming a circumference of an inner wall of the penetrating hole in a multistage structure. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein an outer edge circumference of the speaker grill is formed in a multistage structure corresponding to a multistage structure of the penetrating hole. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising coupling a lower carrier separated by a predetermined gap in a lower end portion of the first upper carrier and the second upper carrier. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein coupling a speaker grill comprises coupling a speaker grill to an inner wall of a penetrating hole of the first upper carrier using at least one method, or a combination of ultrasonic bonding, thermo compression, soldering, adhesive bonding, hook, and hook home fastened to the hook. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein coupling the first upper carrier comprises coupling the first upper carrier and the second upper carrier to at one end of the first upper carrier and one end of the second upper carrier using at least one method, or a combination of ultrasonic bonding, thermo compression, soldering, adhesive bonding, hook, and hook home fastened to the hook. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the speaker grill is coupled to the penetrating hole and is supported by the first upper carrier. ### Claim 16 A terminal, comprising: a speaker configured to house a speaker grill as a separate piece in a hole formed in a first upper carrier and to comprise a mesh and a soundproof port in a lower portion of the speaker grill; an antenna provided at one surface of a second upper carrier coupled to one end of the first upper carrier; and a lower carrier coupled to a lower portion of the first and second upper carriers to embody acoustic resonance space of the speaker. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The terminal of claim 16, wherein a portion of an edge of the speaker grill is provided on the same Z-axis line as that of the mesh and the soundproof port. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The terminal of claim 17, wherein front surface radiation space of the speaker is formed between the speaker grill and the mesh. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The terminal of claim 16, wherein a circumference of an edge of the speaker grill is formed in an uneven structure on a plane and is formed in a multistage structure on a perpendicular line. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) The terminal of claim 16, wherein the speaker grill is coupled to the penetrating hole and is supported by the first upper carrier.
