Mobile terminal having touch screen panel

摘要

A mobile terminal includes a touch screen panel installed in an upper surface of a display unit formed in an upper surface of the mobile terminal. The touch screen panel includes an upper panel and a lower panel disposed opposite each other; and a detection unit installed in the touch screen panel beneath the lower panel thereof. The detection unit detects an approach of an external object and for determining whether to allow or invalidate an input of a manipulation instruction from a user through the touch screen panel. A portion of lower panel of the touch screen panel is not included in a portion of the touch screen panel at which the detection unit is positioned. Thereby, diffused reflection of light around the detection sensor can be reduced, thereby preventing an erroneous operation of the detection unit when detecting the approach of an external object.
