Abstract
An electronic device comprises a pair of diversity antenna modules of a first wireless communication scheme placed near the left and right ends of a display unit, and an antenna module of a second wireless communication scheme placed between the pair of diversity antenna modules. Each antenna module comprises a flexible substrate and an antenna provided on the substrate, in which a portion of the substrate having the antenna thereon projects from the upper end of the display unit is folded toward the front side of the display unit.
Claims42
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display unit;
- and
- an antenna arranged in a housing of said display unit and comprising a pair of diversity antenna modules of a first wireless communication scheme placed near left and right ends of said display unit, and an antenna module of a second wireless communication scheme placed between said pair of diversity antenna modules, each of said antenna modules comprising a substrate and an antenna element arranged on said substrate, an antenna portion of said substrate having said antenna thereon projecting from an upper end of said display unit and being folded toward a front side of said display unit.
An electronic device comprising:
- a display unit including a display panel and a housing containing said display panel;
- and
- an antenna module arranged in the housing of said display unit and including a substrate and an antenna arranged on an antenna portion of said substrate, said substrate being flexible at least at a boundary between the antenna portion and a remaining portion being provided along a back of said display panel, and said antenna portion projecting from an end of said display panel.
An electronic device comprising:
- a display unit including a display panel and a housing containing said display panel;
- and
- an antenna module arranged in the housing of said display unit and including a substrate and an antenna arranged on an antenna portion of said substrate, a remaining portion being provided along a back of said display panel, and said antenna portion projecting from an end of said display panel and being folded toward a front side of said display unit.
An electronic device comprising:
- a display unit including a display panel and a housing containing said display panel;
- and
- an antenna module arranged in the housing of said display unit and including a flexible substrate and an antenna arranged on an antenna portion-of said substrate, a remaining portion being provided along a back of said display panel, and said antenna portion projecting from an end of said display panel.
An electronic device comprising:
- a display unit;
- and
- an antenna arranged in a housing of said display unit and comprising a pair of diversity antenna modules of a first wireless communication scheme placed near left and right ends of said display unit, and an antenna module of a second wireless communication scheme placed between said pair of diversity antenna modules, each of said antenna modules comprising a substrate and an antenna element arranged on said substrate, the substrate comprising an antenna portion having said antenna thereon and a remaining portion, the antenna portion projecting from an upper end of said display unit, and a distance between the antenna portion and the housing being larger than a distance between the remaining portion and the housing.
An electronic device comprising:
- a display unit including a display panel and a housing containing said display panel;
- and
- an antenna module arranged in the housing of said display unit and comprising a substrate and an antenna element arranged on said substrate, the substrate comprising an antenna portion having said antenna thereon and a remaining portion, the antenna portion projecting from an upper end of said display unit, and a distance between the antenna portion and the housing being larger than a distance between the remaining portion and the housing.
An electronic device comprising:
- a display unit including a display panel and a housing containing said display panel;
- and
- an antenna module arranged in the housing of said display unit and comprising a flexible substrate and an antenna element arranged on said substrate, the substrate comprising an antenna portion having said antenna thereon and a remaining portion, the antenna portion projecting from an upper end of said display unit, and a distance between the antenna portion and the housing being larger than a distance between the remaining portion and the housing.
