## Abstract

In order to minimize an increase in a bezel of a mobile terminal, provided is a mobile terminal comprising: a display panel; a window coupled to the front surface of the display panel so as to cover the front surface of the display panel; and a seating frame in which the display panel is mounted, wherein the seating frame comprises: a panel seating portion in which at least one region of the display panel is seated; a window seating portion which receives an edge region of the rear surface of the window and forms a large separation space from the rear surface of the window inward; and a sidewall portion forming a sidewall connecting the window seating portion and the panel seating portion, wherein the sidewall portion is recessed outward in a region corresponding to a side portion of the display panel.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A mobile terminal, comprising:
a display panel;
a window coupled to a front surface of the display panel to cover the front surface of the display panel; and
a seating frame in which the display panel is installed,
wherein the seating frame includes
a panel seating portion on which at least one area of the display panel is seated;
a window seating portion on which a rear outer area of the window is seated, the window seating portion forming a larger separation space from a rear surface of the window in a direction of a horizontal inner side; and
a sidewall portion configured to form a sidewall coupling the window seating portion and the panel seating portion and recessed towards a horizontal outer side with respect to an area corresponding to a side surface of the display panel.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the seating frame forms at least a part of the front surface or side surface of an outer appearance of the mobile terminal.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, further comprising a support member provided in a rear outer area of the display panel, for supporting the panel seating portion.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, further comprising a bonding member provided along a circumference between a rear outer area of the window and the window seating portion.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the bonding member is provided with a width of 0.4 mm.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the seating frame further comprises a boundary portion formed along an outer circumference of the window seating frame to correspond to a side area of the window and to form the same surface as a front area of the window.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the window seating portion is provided along an outer circumference of the window to form a closed loop.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the window seating portion includes a seating surface facing a rear surface of the window and wherein the seating surface forms an inclination of a specific angle with the rear surface of the window.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The mobile terminal of claim 8, the seating surface and the rear surface of the window form an inclination of 3°.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the window seating portion and the sidewall portion are formed by numerical control (NC) work.
