An image module including a base member including a light transmissive material; a first layer having a first protruding pattern protruding from a first surface of the base member; a second layer including an opaque material and covering a second surface of the base member; and one or more image through-holes in the second layer and configured to pass light from a light source through the image through-holes and towards the protruding pattern to form one or more images.

Image module, mobile terminal having the same and manufacturing method of image module

A mobile terminal includes first and second bodies slidably connected in a closed configuration and open configuration, a flexible circuit board electrically connecting the first and second bodies and passing through a gap formed between the first and second bodies, and one or more blocking units disposed in a spatial area formed between an opening face of the gap to the flexible circuit board and formed to be protruded to traverse the gap from the first body toward the second body, wherein the blocking units are disposed in the spatial area to cover at least a portion of the flexible circuit board. When the mobile terminal is changed from an open configuration to a closed configuration, the flexible circuit board can be prevented from being damaged by a structure.
