Abstract
An electronic device with an electrostatic guiding structure includes a metal case, a plastic case overlapping the metal case, a conductive strip, and an electrically insulating strip. The conductive strip is electrically connected to a conductive region of the plastic case, and has at least one tip portion. An end point of the tip portion is located at an edge of the electrically insulating strip, and separated from the metal case with the electrically insulating strip. The conductive region is electrically connected to a ground region of an electronic module. Therefore, when electrostatic charges accumulated in the metal case is above a specific value, the electrostatic charges are discharged to the ground region of the electronic module according to point discharge principle, thereby protecting user of the electronic device from getting an electric shock.
