Abstract
A computing device includes a capacitively coupled antenna provided in a display portion of the device. An antenna pattern is provided on a backside of a touch screen display. An antenna element is provided in a display housing. The touch screen is attached to the display housing a dielectric adhesive. The dielectric adhesive prevents the antenna pattern from contacting the antenna element such that the antenna pattern is capacitively coupled to the antenna element.
Claims21
A computing device comprising:
- a touch screen display having an antenna pattern provided on a surface thereof;
- a display housing having an antenna element provided therein;
- and
- a single dielectric adhesive located between the touch screen display and the display housing, as well as between the antenna pattern and the antenna element,
- wherein the touch screen display is attached to the display housing using the dielectric adhesive, and wherein the dielectric adhesive prevents the antenna pattern from contacting the antenna element such that the antenna pattern is capacitively coupled to the antenna element.
