An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) device with a built-in electroluminescent body of the present invention includes a liquid crystal cell having an upper LCD substrate, a lower LCD substrate, and a liquid crystal layer formed between the upper LCD substrate and the lower LCD substrate by the injection of liquid crystal. An upper polarizer and a lower polarizer are respectively positioned on the top and the bottom of the liquid crystal cell. The electroluminescent body is arranged on the lower polarizer in the form of wirings for implementing back illumination. Dust and other impurities are prevented from penetrating the gap between an LCD and an EL (Electroluminescent Lamp) at the time of production. The lower polarizer plays the role of an EL substrate at the same time and thereby eliminates the need for an EL substrate and an affixing material. The LCD device can be produced by a minimum of steps.

The antenna for a radio equipment includes a base portion boot made of a flexible material and secured to an edge of an opening of a support hole in a radio equipment body such that it partially extends outwardly over a predetermined length from the radio equipment body. A flexible pipe is integrally coated on an outer periphery of a portion of a linear antenna element which is positioned in a through-hole of the base portion boot when the linear antenna element is at its retracted position in the radio equipment body.

A hinge connector includes a pair of tubular members. Each of the tubular members has a tubular section formed with a hollow portion, and a fitting section formed with a receiving space for receiving a counterpart connector. The tubular members are coupled with each other so as to be turnable relative to each other. The hinge connector further includes a flexible conductor. The flexible conductor has connect portions at its both ends and a flexible intermediate portion connecting the connect portions. The flexible intermediate portion of the conductor is turned and arranged in the hollow portions of the tubular sections, while the connect portions thereof are disposed in the corresponding receiving spaces of the fitting sections so as to be connected to the corresponding counterpart connectors, respectively.

A miniature and high performance antenna applicable to a radio communication apparatus and made up of a straight antenna rod and a loading coil. The tip of the straight antenna rod is received in the coil such that capacity coupling is set up between them. An antenna configuration is provided for setting up capacity coupling between the antenna rod and a feed portion.
