Abstract
According to one or more embodiments, an electronic device includes a housing including a first surface facing a first direction and a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction, where a transparent cover forms at least one part of the first surface. The electronic device also includes a touch screen display disposed between the first surface and second surface of the housing and exposed through the transparent cover, a pressure sensor disposed between the touch screen display and the second surface of the housing, and having an active area for sensing pressure placed on the first surface by an external object and an inactive area disposed around the active area, a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) disposed between the pressure sensor and the second surface of the housing, and an electrically conductive connection member for electrically connecting the pressure sensor and the PCB. The electrically conductive connection member may be at least partially overlap with the active area of the pressure sensor when the electronic device is viewed in the second direction. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
