An electronic device is provided. The electronic device may include: a housing including a first face facing a first direction and a second face facing a second direction opposite the first direction, and further including a transparent window comprising at least a portion of the first face; a display device disposed between the first face and the second face of the housing and configured to display information to an outside through the transparent window; an illumination unit comprising light emitting circuitry disposed inside the first face of the housing and configured to emit light toward the transparent window; a reflective unit comprising a reflective surface and disposed between the illumination unit and the transparent window, and including a plurality of reflective structures configured to reflect light emitted from the illumination unit toward the transparent window; and a biometric sensor disposed to face at least a portion of the transparent window and configured to sense light reflected on the transparent window. The electronic device including a fingerprint sensor is capable of ensuring a superior performance using a light source in sensing fingerprint information of a user using a fingerprint sensor located in a display active region. Further, the electronic device is capable of effectively ensuring an amount of incident light transmitted to the biometric sensor using the reflective unit and the transparent window, which substantially completely reflects the light emitted from the light source.

Electronic device including biometric sensor

An electronic apparatus according to a variety of embodiments of the present invention may comprise: a display panel comprising a display which comprises one or more first pixels, one or more second pixels, and one or more first wires connected to the one or more first pixels and second pixels, and one or more fingerprint sensors which are disposed between the one or more first pixels and one or more second pixels; and a wiring layer comprising one or more second wires connected to the one or more fingerprint sensors by wiring between the layers, A variety of other embodiments are possible.

Electronic apparatus having fingerprint recognition function

Disclosed is an electronic device including a shielding member. The electronic device includes a substrate having an electric element mounted thereon; a shield can mounted on the electric element and including an opening formed at a part facing the electric element; a shielding member mounted around a part in which the opening is formed on an outer surface of the shield can, and electrically connected to the shield can; a metal plate mounted on the shielding member, with the opening covered, and electrically connected to the shielding member; and a heat conductive member mounted in the opening and interposed between the electric element and the metal plate, and in contact with the electric element and the metal plate.

Electronic device

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic device may comprise a housing including a first surface facing in a first direction and a second surface facing in a second direction opposite the first direction, the housing including a transparent cover that comprises at least part of the first surface, a display disposed between the first surface and the second surface of the housing and configured to display information through the transparent cover to an outside, an illumination part comprising light emitting circuitry disposed at an inner side of an end of the first surface of the housing and configured to emit light to the transparent cover, an optical coupler disposed between the illumination part and the transparent cover and configured to reflect light from the illumination part to the transparent cover, and a biometric sensor disposed under the transparent cover and the display. In an electronic device including a biometric sensor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a light source is put to use in sensing the user's fingerprint information using a biometric sensor positioned in a display activation area, thereby providing better performance and an improved outer appearance.

According to the present disclosure, an electronic device may include a housing forming a first portion of an outer surface of the electronic device and a display received in the housing and forming a second portion of the outer surface. The display may include a biometric sensor formed between a first pixel and a second pixel and a waveguide substantially perpendicular to the biometric sensor and extending from the biometric sensor to the second portion. In an electronic device, light or ultrasonic waves may be put to use in sensing the user's biometric information (e.g., fingerprint information) using a biometric sensor positioned in a portion of the display, presenting better performance.

A Bluetooth headset for a mobile phone includes a body configured to transmit and receive a signal to and from a mobile phone via Bluetooth communication. The body is connected to at least one of a Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card and a Universal SIM (USIM) card, and is further configured to obtain subscriber information from the one of the SIM card and the USIM card to provide the obtained subscriber information to the mobile phone.
