Abstract
A light-emitting device of a portable communication terminal improves exterior decoration by emitting light to the exterior of the portable communication terminal and implements a sense of unity of a design in a non-light emission state by integrating a portion to which the light is transmitted with a main body housing. The light-emitting device includes a housing, a light-emitting element for emitting light, a light guide sheet for guiding the light from the light-emitting element, and a light-transmitting portion integrally formed on the housing for transmitting the light from one end of the light guide sheet to an outer side of the housing. A sense of unity of the main body housing and the light-transmitting portion can be improved by applying a non-conductive vacuum metallizing (NCVM) process to the exterior. An aesthetic sense is improved with the sense of unity of the exterior design.
