Abstract
The present invention provides a portable wireless terminal which includes a main body and a folder which is rotatably connected to the main body, and a method for using the same. The portable wireless terminal further comprises a housing of the main body which is coated with an electrically conductive material on the inner surface in order to provide a ground for an electric circuit device mounted in the main body, a housing of the folder which is coated with an electrically conductive material on the inner surface in order to provide a ground for an electric circuit device mounted in the folder, and a hinge module which is received within the folder and rotatably connects the folder to the main body. The hinge module also electrically interconnecting the ground of the main body and the ground of the folder. The portable wireless terminal of this construction can significantly reduce electromagnetic wave absorption rate by interconnecting the grounds of the main body and the folder thereof through the hinge module. Furthermore, because the main body and the folder are interconnected without repeated testing procedures using a ground pattern or an electromagnetic wave absorbing material, the production cost can be significantly reduced.
