Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising: a liquid crystal display; a circuit substrate; and an antenna element installed on the circuit substrate, the antenna element included in the liquid crystal display, wherein the antenna element is installed at a position apart from an end of the circuit substrate by a given offset so that distribution variation of irradiation characteristics of the antenna element within a horizontal surface is reduced both in cases where the electronic device in which the antenna element is installed is set in portrait orientation and in landscape orientation, in which display on the liquid crystal display is performed by the electronic device so that the display is viewed by a user in accordance with a normal position when the electronic device is set in the portrait and landscape orientations, wherein the antenna element is included in an antenna that includes a bottom plate, the bottom plate being incorporated within the liquid crystal display, and the antenna element being offset from the end of the bottom plate such that the position of the center of the antenna element, along the longitudinal direction of the bottom plate, is one quarter of the way from the end of the bottom plate.
