According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, an electronic device may comprise a housing including a front plate and a rear plate and a display. At least one of the front plate or the rear plate may include a plate exposed to an outside. The plate may include a metal member including a first metal and an oxide layer formed on at least one surface of the metal member. The metal member may comprise a first portion including irregularities formed by at least one second metal included in a first solution, the at least one second metal being substituted for the a portion of the metal member, the at least one second metal being removed from the metal member by the first solution and a flat second portion etched by the first solution.

Electronic device including plate, plate, and method for manufacturing plate

An electronic device includes a flexible display panel connected to a first housing and a second housing; and a flexible window that is coupled to one surface of the flexible display panel. The flexible window includes a deformation area that is deformable together with the flexible display panel around at least one folding axis. The flexible window includes a glass layer. A first polymer layer is disposed between the glass layer and the flexible display panel. An adhesive layer is laminated on the second surface of the glass layer. The adhesive layer includes at least one uneven structure formed on one surface that faces an opposite direction to the second surface of the glass layer and is at least partially overlapped with the at least one first curved-surface portion or the at least one second curved-surface portion. A second polymer layer is laminated on the adhesive layer.

Electronic device comprising flexible window

An electronic device according to an embodiment includes a first housing, a second housing coupled to the first housing so as to be slidable with respect to the first housing, a display including a planar region and a deformable region in contact with the planar region, and a support plate configured to supporting the display. The support plate includes rigid regions and a flexible region disposed between the rigid regions and including a plurality of openings. The support plate further includes a first layer including a plurality of first openings in the flexible region, and a second layer disposed on the first layer and including a plurality of second openings partially overlapping each of the plurality of first openings in the flexible region. Other embodiments are also possible.

Electronic device including structure for supporting display

According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a housing of an electronic device may include a first surface including a first portion having an irregularity formed thereon and a second portion spaced apart from the first portion and having an irregularity formed thereon. The irregularities formed on the first surface may be formed by etching. A maximum height of the irregularity formed on the first portion may be different from a maximum height of the irregularity formed on the second portion. The maximum height of irregularities formed on the first surface may gradually increase or decrease from the first portion to the second portion.

Electronic device including housing and method for manufacturing the same

According to an embodiment of the disclosure, an electronic device may comprise a first housing, a second housing, a hinge structure, and/or a flexible display. The hinge structure may be rotatably connect the second housing to the first housing. The flexible display may be at least partially bendable in response to the rotation of the second housing relative to the first housing. The hinge structure may include at least one rotating member, at least one detent member, and/or at least one pin member. The rotating member may include a first detent member coupled to the first housing and rotatable about a first rotational axis and/or a second detent member coupled to the second housing and rotatable about a second rotational axis parallel to the first rotational axis. The detent member may include a first detent member disposed in the first rotating member and including a first detent slot and/or a second detent member disposed in the second rotating member and including a second detent slot. The pin member may include a first pin member slidably connected to the first detent slot and/or a second pin member slidably connected to the second detent slot. The first detent member may be configured to provide an elastic force to the first pin member. The second detent member may be configured to provide an elastic force to the second pin member.

Electronic device including hinge structure

According to various embodiments of the disclosure, an electronic device may include: a housing, a processor disposed inside the housing, the housing may include a metal member comprising a metal and including a first convex and concave pattern formed in a shape corresponding to a shape of a second convex and concave pattern formed on a jig, wherein the jig is formed for use in electro chemical machining (ECM), and the first convex and concave pattern may have at least a portion formed at a substantially uniform pitch and a substantially uniform height.
