20110222220 | DISPLAY DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT - The display device includes: a panel module | 09-15-2011 |
20120092220 | ANTENNA APPARATUS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An antenna apparatus is provided with a first antenna element, a second antenna element, a first ground element, a first ground plane and a second ground plane each formed by a conductive pattern. The first antenna element and the second antenna element are electrically connected by a first through-hole, and also form a first capacitive coupling portion in which they partially overlap across a substrate and are capacitively coupled. Such a configuration enables the antenna apparatus to be realized at low cost, since an antenna can be formed with only a substrate and conductive patterns, without requiring additional elements such as sheet metal. The antenna apparatus also can be reduced in profile and size, since only the conductive patterns are formed on a first surface and a second surface of the substrate, and there are no members that project significantly from the plane of the substrate. | 04-19-2012 |
20140071000 | SMALL ANTENNA APPARATUS OPERABLE IN MULTIPLE FREQUENCY BANDS - A first base radiation element has a first end connected to the feed point, and a second end. A second base radiation element has a first end connected to the ground point, and a second end. The first and second base radiation elements respectively include portions extending in a first direction and close to each other. The first base radiation element is branched into first and second branch radiation elements at a first branch point located at the second end of the first base radiation element, the first branch radiation element includes a portion extending in the first direction, and the second branch radiation element includes a portion extending in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The end of the second base radiation element is connected to a connecting point different from the first branch point of the first branch radiation element. | 03-13-2014 |
