Abstract

The present invention is for providing portable communication device capable of reducing leakage of a light from the gap between a housing and the lens, improving the assembly property by simplifying the parts size administration and improving the holding strength of the lens in a portable phone comprising a lens for guiding a light from a light emitting member for advising receipt of call to the outside of the housing. Alight transmitting portion, a collar portion, and a fitting spring portion are formed in a lens. The collar portion and the fitting spring portion are interposed between a flat portion formed in a housing and an LCD panel. An engaging projection formed on the rear surface of the LCD panel is inserted through the fitting spring portion.
