An electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing including a cover, a hinge engaging portion, and a hinge protrusion, and a hinge structure configured to rotate the second housing relative to the first housing, the hinge structure including a first base facing the hinge engaging portion and a second base connected to the first base, and the second base includes a first contact surface contacting the hinge protrusion as the second housing transitions between the closing position and the intermediate position, and a second contact surface contacting the hinge protrusion while the second housing transitions between the intermediate position and the opening position.

Electronic device including hinge structure

Disclosed is an indicator including: light guide members; light emitting elements arranged around the light guide members; and diffusion sheets laminated on one or more surfaces of the light guide members and configured such that light irradiated from the light emitting elements is uniformly spread out to upper and lower surfaces of the light guide members after being guided to the light guide members, and an electronic device including the same. The light diffused by the diffusion sheets is simultaneously emitted on two or more different surfaces outside of an electronic device. Because the electronic device can improve convenience of use of the electronic device by allowing the user to easily recognize information output from the electronic device regardless of the positioning state of the electronic device because the indicator is arranged such that information may be output on at least two surfaces at the same time.
