An electronic device including a first housing and second housing that are movable relative to one another such that the electronic device is transitionable between an open state and a closed state. The second housing includes first and second cover surfaces. In the open state, the first surface of the first housing may be visually exposed to an outside and in the closed state, the first cover surface may face the first surface and visually occludes the first housing surface. A first magnetic body may be disposed inside the first housing and may be positioned between the second surface and the display. A second magnetic body between the first and second cover surfaces may be positioned at a position to effect magnetic coupling of the first and second magnetic bodies in the closed state. A support coupling the second surface and the first magnetic body may be transitionable between shortened and expanded lengths.

Electronic device including magnets

An electronic device includes a housing, and an antenna structure disposed in the inner space of the housing. The antenna structure includes a substrate including a first surface, a second surface facing away from the first surface, and side surfaces surrounding a space between the first surface and the second surface. At least one antenna element is disposed to form a beam pattern in a direction in which the first surface is oriented, and at least one bracket is disposed in the inner space and configured to support the substrate such that the first surface is tilted to a predetermined angle with respect to a first direction. A wireless communication circuit is disposed in the inner space and is configured to form, via the at least one antenna element, the beam pattern in the direction in which the first surface is oriented.

Antenna and electronic device including same

According to various embodiments, an electronic device includes: a hinge; a foldable housing including a first housing connected to the hinge and has a first surface facing a first direction and a second surface facing a second direction that is opposite to the first direction, and a second housing connected to the hinge has a third surface facing a third direction and a fourth surface facing a fourth direction that is opposite to the third direction, and is folded about the hinge to overlap the first housing; a flexible display disposed inside the foldable housing and extending from above the first surface of the first housing onto the third surface of the second housing; and a touch panel disposed adjacent to the flexible display, wherein the touch panel includes a first touch panel disposed on the first surface and a second touch panel disposed on the third surface.

Foldable electronic device

One or more embodiments relate to a foldable electronic device. The electronic device includes a display, a foldable housing including a first housing structure and a second housing structure, and a hinge structure disposed between the first housing structure and the second housing structure. The hinge structure may include a first structure configured to enable the first housing structure to rotate about a first folding axis and the second housing structure to rotate about a second folding axis, and a second structure configured to fix the first housing structure and the second housing structure in an unfolded state or a folded state. Other various embodiments are possible.

Foldable electronic device and hinge structure thereof

An electronic device including a hinge structure disposed on a plate, and a stand member disposed to be rotated at a predetermined angle from the plate by using the hinge structure, is provided. The hinge structure includes a base member including at least one guide hole, a first rotatable member disposed on the base member and rotatable about a first axis, a second rotatable member disposed on the first rotatable member and rotatable about the first axis, and fixed to the stand member, at least one link each including one portion rotatably arranged with respect to a second axis disposed near the first axis, another portion guided through the at least one guide hole in accordance with a movement of the second axis, and a torque generating structure including an axis coinciding with the second axis, and providing a torque in accordance with a rotation of the second rotatable member.

Electronic device including stand member

A key device comprises a housing in which a key hole is formed, a side key unit assembled at the key hole of the housing, and a gap of a predetermined thickness formed between a portion of the assembled side key unit located within the key hole and the key hole, wherein the gap is secured by processing any one or both of the side key unit located within the key hole or the housing in which the side key unit is assembled.
