Mobile terminal including wireless charging module

Abstract

A mobile terminal is provided, which includes a housing having a rectangular plan-view shape defined by two sides along a longitudinal direction and two sides along a lateral direction. The mobile terminal includes a camera included in the housing; a charging coil arranged in the housing; and a battery arranged in the housing. The camera, the charging coil, and the battery are arranged in this order along the longitudinal direction of the housing.

1 . A mobile terminal comprising:
 a housing having substantially planar front and back surfaces,   a display that forms at least a portion of the substantially planar front surface of the housing;   a camera unit arranged in the housing and facing the substantially planar back surface;   a wireless charging module arranged in the housing and including a charging coil formed of a wound conducting wire; and   a circuit board substrate arranged in the housing and configured to control operation of the mobile terminal, wherein the circuit board is interposed between the display and the wireless charging module along a thickness direction orthogonal to the front and back surfaces of the mobile terminal.   
     
     
         2 . The mobile terminal according to  claim 1 , wherein the camera unit is exposed through the substantially planar back surface of the housing. 
     
     
         3 . The mobile terminal according to  claim 1 , wherein a lens of the camera unit faces in a direction from the substantially planar front surface toward the substantially planar back surface. 
     
     
         4 . The mobile terminal according to  claim 1 , comprising a battery pack having a substantially planar shape and configured to store power from the wireless charging module, wherein the circuit board substrate does not overlap with the battery pack along the thickness direction of the mobile terminal. 
     
     
         5 . The mobile terminal according to  claim 1 , wherein the wireless charging module is arranged within a dimension of the camera unit along the thickness direction of the housing. 
     
     
         6 . The mobile terminal according to  claim 1 , wherein the charging coil has an internal dimension spanning at least 15.5 mm. 
     
     
         7 . The mobile terminal according to  claim 1 , wherein the charging coil defines an internal hollow portion sized to receive a circle having a diameter of 15.5 mm. 
     
     
         8 . The mobile terminal according to  claim 1 , wherein the charging coil is wound in a shape selected from a rectangular shape, an oblong shape, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, and a polygonal shape. 
     
     
         9 . The mobile terminal according to  claim 1 , wherein the charging coil is wound in a circular shape and an internal diameter of the circular shape is greater than 15.5 mm.
