Other embodiments are implementable.

An electronic device includes a first assembly including a window defining an appearance of a front surface of the electronic device; a display module disposed below the window; a touch sensor disposed between the window and the display module; a heat dissipation sheet disposed below the display module and having an opening; a support frame supporting the display module and including an opening area; a fingerprint sensor disposed in the opening of the support frame and the opening of the heat dissipation sheet; and a second assembly coupled to the first assembly, which includes a case forming an appearance of the electronic device and an inner space of the electronic device with the first assembly; a power supply unit accommodated in the inner space of the electronic device; and a circuit board accommodated in the inner space of the electronic device and including a controller.

Electronic device including a fingerprint sensor disposed in an opening area of a metal frame

An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes a housing, a roller positioned inside the housing, a display panel rollable on the roller, and a guide roller positioned at an edge inside the housing. A state of the display panel with respect to the roller includes a first state in which the display panel is rolled on the roller and a second state in which the display panel is unrolled from the roller. The roller includes an outer frame which rotates when the display panel is rolled on or unrolled from the roller, and an inner frame positioned inside the outer frame and fixed to an inside of the housing regardless of rolling and unrolling the display panel.

Electronic device

An electronic device including a window defining an appearance of a front surface of the electronic device; a display module disposed below the window; a touch sensor disposed between the window and the display module; a fingerprint sensor disposed below the display module; and a controller configured to in response to the touch sensor receiving a single touch input while the display module is in a deactivated state, display a graphic image at a region of the display module overlapped with the fingerprint sensor; in response to the touch sensor receiving a double touch input while the display module is in the deactivated state, display a full screen image on the display module and the graphic image at the region of the display module overlapped with the fingerprint sensor; control the fingerprint sensor to detect fingerprint information through the graphic image at the region of the display module; and perform an authentication procedure to release a lock state of the electronic device when the detected fingerprint information matches pre-stored fingerprint information.

A mobile terminal is provided to address limitations of related art input systems. The mobile terminal includes a display unit, a support bracket including a support part configured to support a backside of the display unit and an extension part extending from the support part, a front window coupled with a front surface of the display unit and extension part, the front window including a rigid material, at least 3 front sensors located at the extension part of the support bracket, each generating a front force signal by receiving a front force applied to a prescribed point of the front window, and a controller measuring an applied point and magnitude of the front force through the front force signal generated by each of the at least 3 front sensors. When a force is applied, a location and magnitude of the force is measured and recognized as a classified input signal.
