A portable electronic device is provided. The portable electronic device includes a front glass cover that forms the front of the electronic device, a back cover that forms the back of the electronic device, a bezel that surrounds the space formed between the front and back covers and is formed integrally with, or separately from, the back cover, wherein the bezel has a first opening with a first size and a second opening with a second size smaller than the first size, the second opening being disposed adjacent to the first opening, a display device that is located in the space and has a screen area exposed through the front cover, a tray structure that is inserted into the space through the first opening and is detachably mounted, the tray structure having a recess in which a memory card and/or a subscriber identification module (SIM) card is received, a first member that holds the tray structure when the tray structure is inserted into the space and a second member that allows a first member to release the tray structure by the press of an external member that is inserted through the second opening, and a waterproof structure that includes a first portion that is movably inserted into the second opening, a first end portion that makes contact with the second member by the press of the external member, and a second end portion that is pressed by the external member.

Portable electronic device

An electronic device including a waterproof structure is provided. The electronic device includes a housing that includes a first face, a second face that faces in a direction substantially opposite to the first face, and a side surface that at least partially encloses a space between the first face and the second face, a middle plate arranged between the first face and the second face inside the housing to be substantially parallel to the first face, extending from the side surface, and including at least one opening, a printed circuit board arranged between the middle plate and the second face, a display arranged between the middle plate and the first face, and including a face directed toward the second face, and a seal member configured to hermetically seal the at least one opening of the middle plate, and arranged between the face of the display and the middle plate.

Electronic device including waterproof structure

An example portable electronic device includes a front glass cover; a rear cover; a bezel surrounding a space defined by the front cover and the rear cover, the bezel including a portion including an opening; a display device built in the space; and a plate including a plane parallel to the front cover within the space. The example electronic device includes a key movably inserted in the opening; a support structure mounted on the plate or a portion of the bezel and including a hole through which the key passes; a dome button mounted on the support structure and arranged to face the first surface of the key and the hole so that the key can be pressed; and a waterproof structure including a flexible material.

Electronic device and electronic device manufacturing method

Various embodiments relating to an electronic device including a key module are disclosed, and according to one embodiment, a portable electronic device comprises: a front glass cover defining the front surface of the electronic device; a rear cover defining the rear surface of the electronic device; a bezel surrounding a space defined by the front cover and the rear cover, the bezel being integrally formed with or separately formed from the rear cover, the bezel including a portion including an opening; a display device built in the space and including a screen area exposed through the front cover; and a plate including a plane parallel to the front cover within the space, wherein the opening penetrates from the outside of the bezel toward the space in a first direction. The electronic device comprises: a key having a size and a shape that can pass through the opening, the key being movably inserted in the opening and including a first surface facing the first direction; a support structure mounted on the plate or a portion of the bezel and including a hole through which the key passes; a dome button mounted on the support structure and arranged to face the first surface of the key and the hole so that the key can be pressed when moving in the first direction; and a waterproof structure including a flexible material. The waterproof structure may comprise: a first portion located between the first surface of the key and the dome button; and a second portion extending from the first portion and inserted between the support structure and the bezel, the second portion sealing a space between the support structure and the bezel so as to waterproof the space. Other various embodiments are also possible.

An apparatus according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a first circuit board; a first connector provided on one face of the first circuit board; a second circuit board disposed on the one face of the first circuit board, and electrically connected to the first circuit board; a second connector provided on one face of the second circuit board, and engaged with the first connector to electrically connect the second circuit board to the first circuit board; a sealing member disposed between the first circuit board and the second circuit board to seal a space between the first connector and the second connector; and a coupling member coupling the first circuit board and the second circuit board to each other.
