Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electronic apparatus uses a smaller, thinner antenna module that does not have impairing communication characteristics and can also be mounted in a more narrow space. The electronic apparatus is provided with an antenna module including an antenna coil wound in a planar shape and a magnetic sheet overlapping at least a portion of the antenna coil. The antenna coil is bent, and from the bent portion, a plane that includes one side of the antenna coil on which current flows in one direction is disposed alongside a lateral face of an internal structure of a casing, and a plane that includes another side of the antenna coil on which current flows in the opposite direction than on the one side is disposed to overlap the magnetic sheet. The magnetic sheet is disposed at a position farther from a reader/writer than the other side of the antenna coil is.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An electronic apparatus comprising: an antenna device incorporated into the electronic apparatus and configured to communicate with an external device via an electromagnetic field signal, the antenna device comprising a loop coil wound in a planar shape and a magnetic sheet formed from a magnetic material and overlapping at least a portion of the loop coil, wherein the loop coil includes a bend, and from a position of the bend, a plane that includes one side of the loop coil on which current flows in one direction is disposed alongside a lateral face of an internal structure of a casing, and a plane that includes another side of the loop coil on which current flows in the opposite direction than on the one side is disposed to overlap the magnetic sheet, and wherein the magnetic sheet is disposed at a position farther from the external device than said another side of the loop coil is. 2 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a portion or all of the internal structure is a metallic body. 3 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said another side of the loop coil is bent at a predetermined angle from a plane facing the external device. 4 . The electronic apparatus of claim 2 , wherein said another side of the loop coil is bent at a predetermined angle from a plane facing the external device.
