An electronic device includes a housing, an antenna structure, and a support member. The housing provides a front surface, a rear surface, and a side surface of the electronic device. The antenna structure may be located in an inner space of the housing. The antenna structure may include a printed circuit board having a first surface facing the front surface and a second surface facing in a direction opposite to the first surface, and can include at least one antenna element. The support member may be combined with the housing. The antenna structure may be disposed on the support member. The support member on which the antenna structure is disposed may be inserted into a recess provided in a sidewall of the housing providing the side surface. The sidewall may include a connection portion, which may be combined with a front plate of the housing providing the front surface.

Electronic device including antenna

An electronic device comprises a first structure including a first plate providing a first surface and a second surface and a second structure coupled to surround at least a portion of the first structure and configured to guide the first structure in a direction parallel with the first surface or the second surface. The device also includes a roller mounted on an edge of the second structure and a flexible display including a first area mounted on the first surface and a second area extending from the first area. The device also includes at least one support sheet mounted on the roller and wound around the roller as the roller rotates. The support sheet is wound around the roller when the second area is received inside the second structure, and is unfolded inside the second area when the second area is exposed to the outside of the second structure.

Electronic device including flexible display

Disclosed is a portable electronic device including a front cover that forms a front face of the electronic device, a rear cover that forms a rear face of the electronic device, a bezel that surrounds a space formed by the front cover and the rear cover, a display device that is embedded in the space and includes a screen region that is exposed through the front cover, a metal structure that is positioned within the space and includes a first face facing the front cover and a second face facing the rear cover, a non-metal structure that is positioned within the space to partially overlap with the metal structure and includes a first surface facing the front cover and a second surface facing the rear cover, and a metal filler extending from the first surface to the second surface of the non-metal structure through a portion of the non-metal structure.

Housing, manufacturing method thereof, and electronic device having the housing

An electronic device includes: a housing including a window facing in a first direction and a rear plate facing in a second direction; a display including a first layer disposed on the window, a second layer disposed on the first layer and having a first opening, and a conductive layer disposed on the second layer and having a second opening corresponding to the first opening; an FPCB disposed on the display and having a third opening corresponding to the second opening; a frame structure disposed between the FPCB and the rear plate and having a fourth opening corresponding to the third opening; a fingerprint sensor having at least a portion inserted into the fourth opening and facing in the first direction; and a dustproof member disposed between the display and the frame structure within a region formed by the third opening.

Electronic device including fingerprint sensor

According to various embodiments disclosed herein, an electronic device may include: a first housing; a second housing coupled to the first housing and configured to slide in a first direction or a second direction opposite the first direction with respect to the first housing between a first position at which at least a portion of the second housing is accommodated in the first housing and a second position at which the second housing protrudes from the first housing; an optical module comprising optical circuitry mounted on the second housing, the optical module configured to be rotated in response to sliding of the second housing to be disposed to face a rear side of the first housing at the first position and to face a front side of the first housing at the second position; and an elastic member comprising a flexible elastic material accommodated in the second housing and configured to provide an elastic force to the optical module. The elastic member may provide the elastic force in a rotating direction of the optical module in a first operation in which the optical module rotates while moving from the first position to the second position or in a second operation in which the optical module rotates while moving from the second position to the first position.

Electronic device including rotating optical module

A portable electronic device and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The portable electronic device includes a front cover that forms a front face of the electronic device, a rear cover that forms a rear face of the electronic device, a bezel that surrounds a space formed by the front cover and the rear cover, a display device that is embedded in the space and includes a screen region that is exposed through the front cover, a metal structure that is positioned within the space, and includes a first face facing the front cover and a second face facing the rear cover, a non-metal structure that is positioned within the space to partially overlap with the metal structure, and includes a first surface facing the front cover and a second surface facing the rear cover, and a metal filler extending from the first surface to the second surface of the non-metal structure through a portion of the non-metal structure. The metal filler is formed of a material that is equal in strength to that of the metal structure, and includes a first end portion adjacent to the first surface and a second end portion adjacent to the second surface, and at least one of the first end portion and the second end portion are aligned to be coplanar with a portion of the first surface and a portion of the second surface, respectively.

Disclosed is a portable electronic device that includes: a front glass cover that forms a front face of the electronic device; a rear cover that forms a rear face of the electronic device; a side portion that surrounds a space formed by the front glass cover and the rear cover; a display module embedded in the space and including a screen region that is exposed through the front glass cover; a printed circuit board (PCB) interposed between the display module and the rear cover, and including an opening that is at least partially closed; a battery installed within the opening and interposed between the display module and the rear cover; and a power control module (PCM) interposed between the PCB and the display module, and arranged adjacent to a side of the battery when viewed from a position above the PCB.

Battery pack mounting structure and electronic device having the same

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a front glass cover forming a front face of the electronic device, a rear glass cover forming a rear face of the electronic device, a metal bezel encapsulating a space formed by the front glass cover and the rear glass cover, and a display device disposed in the space and that includes a screen region exposed through the front glass cover. At least one glass cover of the front glass cover and the rear glass cover includes a surface that includes a first edge, a second edge extending at an opposite side to the first edge, a third edge interconnecting a first end of the first edge and a first end of the second edge, and a fourth edge interconnecting a second end of the first edge and a second end of the second edge.
