A portable communication terminal employs an electro-acoustic transducer
having openings on the housing. The openings of the transducer are
coupled to a housing of the terminal or acoustic pipes unitarily formed
with the housing of the transducer. An opening of the acoustic pipe faces
an opening provided in the housing of the terminal. The terminal uses a
transducer including a diaphragm, a cover closely jointed to an outer
periphery of the diaphragm and facing a front face of the diaphragm, and
a frame provided at a rear face of the diaphragm. The terminal and the
transducer consume less power and yet radiate greater output sound
pressure with smaller bodies. They can deliver sound from a display
section, so that a user accepts the sound normally.
