Abstract:
An electronic device including an indicator is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing structure including a first face oriented in a first direction, a second face oriented in a second direction opposite the first direction, and a first side member at least partially surrounding a space between the first face and the second face, a second housing structure including a third face oriented in a third direction, a fourth face oriented in a fourth direction opposite the third direction, and a second side member at least partially surrounding a space between the third face and the fourth face, a hinge structure rotatably connecting the first housing structure and the second housing structure to each other, the hinge structure configured to provide a folding axis that is a rotating center of the first housing structure and the second housing structure, a flexible display extending from the first face to the third face across the hinge structure, a hinge case disposed between the first housing structure and the second housing structure to accommodate the hinge structure therein to conceal or protect the hinge structure, and one or more first light-emitting elements disposed on an outer face of the hinge case. The electronic device may be configured to transmit light emitted from the one or more first light-emitting elements to outside of the electronic device.
Abstract:
An electronic device is provided, which includes a first housing, a second housing, a hinge structure, a flexible display configured to form a front surface of the first housing and the second housing while the electronic device is in an unfolded state, a first support member disposed between the flexible display and the first housing, a first bimetal member disposed between the flexible display and the first support member, a first magnet disposed between the flexible display and the first bimetal member, and a second magnet disposed between the flexible display and the second housing. The first bimetal member has a first length at a first temperature and a second length longer than the first length at a second temperature higher than the first temperature. The first support member has a reception space having a length greater than or equal to the first length and less than the second length that provides space for the first bimetal member to bend at the second temperature.
Abstract:
According to an embodiment of the disclosure, an electronic device comprises a first housing structure; and a second housing structure hingedly connected to the first housing structure along a hinge axis, wherein a first surface of the first housing structure faces a first surface of the second housing structure in a folded configuration of the electronic device, and the first surface of the first housing structure and the first surface of the second housing structure are planar in an unfolded configuration of the electronic device; a first display disposed on the first surface of the first housing structure and the first surface of the second housing structure, and bendable about the hinge axis; and a sliding structure retractably disposed in the first housing structure, configured to protrude to the outside of the first housing structure in a direction substantially co-planar to the first surface of the first housing structure, the sliding structure comprising at least one optical input module facing a direction substantially orthogonal to the first surface.
Abstract:
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display forming the front surface of the electronic device, a housing in which the display is seated and which at least forms a first side surface of the electronic device, an opening provided in the first side surface formed by the housing, a printed circuit board disposed adjacent to the first side surface, a connecting interface disposed on the PCB so as to be electrically connected to an external connector when the external connector is inserted through the opening, and a reinforcement member disposed on the PCB so as to surround the side surface of the connecting interface without covering the top surface of the connecting interface.
Abstract:
An electronic device and a method of waterproofing a key thereof are provided. The electronic device includes a body, a display device disposed in the body, a key disposed in the body, and a key-waterproof structure including an insert-injected product that includes an insert-injected sealing area, and a bonding area where a silicon-not-attached portion is formed. The method includes assembling a flexible printed circuit board, to which a key is attached, through a silicon-not-attached portion of an insert-injected product, which is made by insert-injecting a bracket and silicon rubber, and bonding the silicon-not-attached portion.
