[0030] For example, the second housing portion 220 (e.g., the second cover portion) may form a second surface 200B, a third region 2003, and a fourth region 2004. According to an embodiment, the second housing portion 220 may include a first cover member 221 (e.g., a second plate) and a second cover member 222 (e.g., a third plate). For example, the first cover member 221 and / or the second cover member 222 may be formed of coated or colored glass, ceramic, polymer, metal, or a combination of at least two of these materials. According to an embodiment, the first cover member 221 and / or the second cover member 222 may include aluminum, aluminum alloy, magnesium, magnesium alloy, or an alloy including iron (e.g., stainless steel).

[0031] The second surface 200B may be formed by the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222. The third region 2003 may be formed by the first cover member 221.

[0032] The third housing portion 230 may be coupled to, for example, the first housing portion 210 and the second housing portion 220, and may comprise metal and / or polymer. In an embodiment, the first cover member 221 or the second cover member 222 of the second housing portion 220 may be integrally formed with the third housing portion 230 and may comprise the same material as the third housing portion 230 (e.g., a metallic material such as aluminum).

Areas in the second cover member 222 other than the transparent areas aligned with the second camera modules 109, 110, and 111 may be formed opaquely. The flash 112 may include a light source, such as a light-emitting diode or a xenon lamp. According to an embodiment, the first cover member 221 of the second housing portion 220 may include a transparent area aligned with the flash 112. Light emitted by the flash 112 can be emitted to the outside through the transparent area of ​​the first cover member 221. Areas in the first cover member 221 other than the transparent area aligned with the flash 112 may be formed opaquely. According to an embodiment, the transparent area aligned with the flash 112 may be replaced by an opening. For example, the first camera module 108 and / or the second camera modules 109, 110, and 111 may include one or more lenses, image sensors, and / or image signal processors. For example, the second camera modules 109, 110, and 111 may include an infrared camera module 109, a wide-angle camera module 110, or a telephoto camera module 111.

[0038] The key input device 113 may be disposed in the side surface 200C (or the third housing portion 230) of the housing 200. In another embodiment, the electronic device 100 may not include some or all of the key input device 113. The key input device, which is not yet included in the electronic device 100, may be implemented on the display 101 in another form, such as soft keys. According to an embodiment, the key input device may include a sensor module.

[0039] The electronic device 100 may also include a light-emitting element (not shown). The light-emitting element may be positioned, for example, adjacent to the first surface 200A within the electronic device 100. According to an embodiment, the light-emitting element may provide information related to the state of the electronic device 100 in the form of light (e.g., various types of status information, such as remaining battery power, the status of the electronic device being connected to an external electronic device such as a charging device, or the receipt of a message).

[0041] In various embodiments, at least one electronic component (e.g., a first camera module 108, a first sensor module 106, and / or a second sensor module 107) may be disposed at the bottom of at least a portion of the screen of the display 101 (e.g., a screen display area or active area). For example, at least one electronic component may be disposed in the rear surface of the screen or below or beneath the screen. According to embodiments, at least one electronic component may be aligned with a recess formed in the rear surface of the display 101 and may be disposed within the electronic device 100. The location of at least one electronic component is not visually distinguishable (or exposed). At least one electronic component may perform related functions. For example, when viewed from above the screen (e.g., when viewed in the -z-axis direction), the first camera module 108 may be configured to overlap with at least a portion of the screen and may acquire an image of an external subject without being externally positioned. For example, when viewed from above the screen, the first sensor module 106 and / or the second sensor module 107 may be configured to overlap with at least a portion of the screen and may perform corresponding sensing functions without being externally positioned. A region of display 101 that at least partially overlaps with at least one electronic component may include a different pixel structure and / or wiring structure compared to another region of display 101. For example, the pixel density of the region of display 101 that at least partially overlaps with at least one electronic component may differ from the pixel density of another region of display 101. The pixel structure and / or wiring structure formed in the region of display 101 that at least partially overlaps with at least one electronic component can reduce the loss of various forms of signals (e.g., light or ultrasound) associated with at least one electronic component when they pass between the external portion and at least one electronic component. According to an embodiment, a plurality of pixels may not be disposed in the region of display 101 that at least partially overlaps with at least one electronic component. According to another embodiment, at least one electronic component may be aligned with an opening (e.g., a through-hole or notch) formed in display 101 and may be disposed within electronic device 100.

For example, the second adhesive portion 420 may indicate an adhesive area extending along a dashed line indicated by reference numeral "421". The first adhesive portion 410 may extend in a closed loop along a first edge E1 formed by the second housing portion 220. The first adhesive portion 410 may be configured to be adjacent to the first edge E1 between the second housing portion 220 and the first support member 311. The second housing portion 220 and the first support member 311 may be joined by the first adhesive portion 410. The second adhesive portion 420 may be disposed in the second housing portion 220 such that it covers a boundary portion B along the boundary portion B between the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222. For example, the entire first adhesive member 400, including the first adhesive portion 410 and the second adhesive portion 420, may include a thermally reactive adhesive member, a photo-reactive adhesive member, a common adhesive, or a double-sided tape.

[0065] According to an embodiment, the first adhesive portion 410 may be positioned adjacent to the boundary portion between the second housing portion 220 and the first support member 311, and between the second housing portion 220 and the third housing portion 230. Therefore, the first adhesive portion 410 can prevent foreign substances such as water or dust from entering the interior of the electronic device 100 located between the second housing portion 220 and the third housing portion 230. In an embodiment, the closed-loop bonding area on the first support member 311 where the first adhesive portion 410 is provided can be defined or interpreted as an element included in the third housing portion 230 rather than the first support member 311. The second adhesive portion 420 can prevent foreign substances such as water or dust from entering the interior of the electronic device 100 through the boundary portion B between the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222.

[0066] According to an embodiment, the housing support member 700 can be coupled to the second housing portion 220 within the electronic device 100. The housing support member 700 may comprise a polymer or metal. The housing support member 700 may include openings 711, 712, and 713 that are aligned with the transparent areas 2221, 2222, and 2223 of the second camera modules 109, 110, and 111 or the second cover member 222. The housing support member 700 can be coupled to the second housing portion 220 using a second adhesive member 500. According to an embodiment, the second adhesive member 500 may be disposed between the second cover member 222 of the second housing portion 220 and the housing support member 700. The second adhesive member 500 may include an empty area (e.g., referring to reference numeral "505") that does not overlap with the transparent areas 2221, 2222, and 2223 of the second cover member 222 and the openings 711, 712, and 713 of the housing support member 700. For example, the second adhesive member 500 may include a thermally reactive adhesive member, a photosensitive adhesive member, a common adhesive, or a double-sided tape.

[0067] According to an embodiment, the housing support member 700 may include a first support portion 710 and a second support portion 720 extending from the first support portion 710. The first support portion 710 may include openings 711, 712, and 713 corresponding to the second camera modules 109, 110, and 111. The first support portion 710 may be connected to the second cover member 222 of the second housing portion 220 using a second adhesive member 500. When viewed from above the second housing portion 220 (e.g., when viewed in the z-axis direction), the first adhesive member 400 and the second adhesive member 500 may not overlap. The second support portion 720 may extend from the first support portion 710 in such a way that it covers the boundary portion B between the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222 of the second housing portion 220. The second support portion 720 may be connected to the second housing portion 220 via the second adhesive portion 420 of the first adhesive member 400. A third adhesive member 600 may be disposed between the second support portion 720 and the first cover member 221. The second support portion 720 can be connected to the first cover member 221 via a third adhesive member 600. When viewed from above the second housing portion 220, the third adhesive member 600 may not overlap with the first adhesive member 400 and the second adhesive member 500. The housing support member 700, connected to the second housing portion 220 by using the second adhesive portion 420 of the first adhesive member 400, the second adhesive member 500, and the third adhesive member 600, can contribute to the durability (hereinafter referred to as connection durability) associated with the connection between the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222. The housing support member 700 can prevent damage to the second adhesive portion 420 or detachment of the second adhesive portion 420 from the second housing portion 220 due to external impacts or external loads. Thus, for example, waterproofing can be ensured. According to various embodiments, additional support structures configured to overlap with the housing support member 700 can support the housing support member 700 toward the second housing portion 220. The additional support structures can also contribute to the connection durability between the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222.

[0068] In the embodiment, reference Figure 4 The structure in which the second adhesive portion 420 is disposed in the second housing portion 220 such that it covers the boundary portion B along the boundary portion B between the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222 can help to extend from the first support member 311 according to the boundary portion B or omit the partition (or partition structure) connected to the first support member 311 (e.g., ribs that divide the space where the second camera modules 109, 110, and 111 are installed). Therefore, space utilization can be improved because various electronic components or instruments can be installed in the internal space including the electronic device 100 and corresponding to a portion of the boundary portion B.

[0069] Figure 8 The illustration shows an embodiment. Figure 7 A portion of the cross-sectional structure of line A-A' in the middle is 800.

[0070] refer to Figure 8 In an embodiment, the second adhesive portion 420 of the first adhesive member 400 can be disposed on a surface of the second housing portion 220 by covering the boundary portion B between the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222. The first cover member 221 may include a first engagement region 810 on which a portion of the second adhesive portion 420 is disposed. The second cover member 222 may include a second engagement region 820 on which different portions of the second adhesive portion 420 are disposed. When viewed from above the second housing portion 220 (e.g., when viewed in the z-axis direction), the first engagement region 810 and the second engagement region 820 may not overlap. The first engagement region 810 and the second engagement region 820 may be included in a third surface 200D of the second housing portion 220 disposed on the side opposite to the second surface 200B (see reference). Figure 2 ).

[0071] In embodiments, the height difference between the first joining region 810 and the second joining region 820 can be minimized and achieved. For example, the first joining region 810 and the second joining region 820 can be arranged substantially parallel to each other on the virtual plane P without any height difference. If the height difference between the first joining region 810 and the second joining region 820 is substantially zero, the second adhesive portion 420 can be arranged substantially flat in the first joining region 810 and the second joining region 820. For example, if the first joining region 810 protrudes relative to the second joining region 820, the second adhesive portion 420 can be arranged in the second housing portion 220 in the form of reference numeral "811" and may be susceptible to detachment due to external impact or external load. In embodiments, if the height difference between the first joining region 810 and the second joining region 820 is minimized, the second adhesive portion 420 can be prevented from detaching (or separating) from external impact or external load because the connection durability between the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222 is guaranteed.

[0072] According to an embodiment, the second cover member 222 may include an extension 830 covering a portion of the first cover member 221. The portion of the first cover member 221 may be disposed between the extension 830 of the second cover member 222 and the second adhesive portion 420 of the first adhesive member 400. The extension 830 contributes to the aesthetics of the electronic device 100 by preventing a portion of the second adhesive portion 420 from being visually exposed to the outside through the boundary portion B between the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222. The boundary portion B between the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222 may have a path that makes it difficult for foreign substances such as water or dust to reach the second adhesive portion 420 due to the extension 830.

[0073] According to an embodiment, the extension portion 830 may be omitted. In this case, the shielding member 840 may be disposed between the second adhesive portion 420 and the second housing portion 220 along the boundary portion B between the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222. The shielding member 840 can prevent the second adhesive portion 420 from being visually exposed through the boundary portion B. The color of the shielding member 840 may be visually exposed through the boundary portion B, thereby contributing to the aesthetics of the electronic device 100. Because the second adhesive portion 420 is not exposed to the outside through the boundary portion B, the shielding member 840 can prevent foreign substances such as dust introduced into the boundary portion B from adhering to the second adhesive portion 420. The shielding member 840 may include a non-adhesive material that does not adhere to foreign substances such as dust. The shielding member 840 may include a film or sheet in the form of a thin film and may be connected to the second adhesive portion 420 by the adhesiveness of the second adhesive portion 420.

[0074] Figure 9 The illustration shows an embodiment. Figure 7 A portion of the cross-sectional structure of line A-A' in the middle is 900. Figure 10 According to the embodiments regarding Figure 9 A plan view relating to the assembly 1000, which includes a second housing portion 220, a first adhesive member 400, a second adhesive member 500, a third adhesive member 600, and a housing support member 700. Figure 9 or Figure 10 Redundant descriptions of some figure labels have been omitted.

[0075] refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 In an embodiment, the first adhesive portion 410 of the first adhesive member 400 may be along the edge E of the second housing portion 220 (refer to...). Figure 4The first adhesive member 400 is disposed in the second housing portion 220. The second adhesive portion 420 of the first adhesive member 400 is disposed in the second housing portion 220 by covering the boundary portion B along the boundary portion B between the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222. The first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222 can be connected to the housing support member 700 via the second adhesive portion 420. The second cover member 222 can be connected to the housing support member 700 via the second adhesive member 500. The first cover member 221 can be connected to the housing support member 700 via the third adhesive member 600. When viewed from above the second housing portion 220 (e.g., when viewed in the z-axis direction), the second adhesive portion 420, the second adhesive member 500, and the third adhesive member 600 may not overlap.

[0076] According to an embodiment, when viewed above the second housing portion 220 (e.g., when viewed in the z-axis direction), the first adhesive portion 410 of the first adhesive member 400 may be disposed in the overlapping portion between the second housing portion 220 and the first support member 311 (see reference). Figure 4 It can connect the second housing portion 220 and the first support member 311. Such a connection method can be referred to as a "vertical connection".

[0077] According to an embodiment, the second adhesive portion 420 of the first adhesive member 400 can be disposed in the third surface 200D of the second housing portion 220 by covering the boundary portion B between the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222, and can connect the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222. Such a connection method can be referred to as "parallel connection".

[0078] According to an embodiment, the third adhesive member 600 may be disposed between the first cover member 221 and the shell support member 700 (e.g., Figure 6 The first gap G1 between the second support portion 720 and the second joint region 820 can facilitate the first joint region 810 and the second joint region 820 to be substantially parallel on the virtual plane P, without any height difference between the first joint region 810 and the second joint region 820. If the first joint region 810 and the second joint region 820 can be substantially parallel on the virtual plane P without the first gap G1, the third adhesive member 600 can be omitted.

[0079] According to various embodiments, the second adhesive member 500 may be disposed between the second cover member 222 and the housing support member 700 (e.g., Figure 6The second adhesive member 500 can be omitted if the first joint area 810 and the second joint area 820 are arranged substantially parallel to each other on the virtual plane P, without any height difference between them.

[0080] According to various embodiments, a fourth adhesive member 910 may be disposed in a third gap G3 between the extension 830 of the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222. The fourth adhesive member 910 may contribute to the durability of the connection between the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222 against external impacts or loads. For example, the fourth adhesive member 910 may facilitate the first and second joining regions 810 and 820 such that they are substantially parallel on a virtual plane P, with no height difference between them. Furthermore, the fourth adhesive member 910 may contribute to waterproofing. According to various embodiments, the extension 830 of the second cover member 222 may also include a region belonging to the boundary portion B and adjacent to the outside extending into a portion of the first cover member 221, as indicated by reference numeral "831". This portion 831 may prevent the fourth adhesive member 910 from being exposed to the outside. If the first bonding region 810 and the second bonding region 820 can be arranged substantially parallel to each other on the virtual plane P without the third gap G3, the fourth adhesive member 910 can be omitted.

[0081] According to an embodiment, the support structure 920 may be configured to at least partially overlap with the housing support member 700 when viewed from above the second housing portion 220 (e.g., when viewed in the z-axis direction). The support structure 920 may support the housing support member 700 toward the second housing portion 220. The support structure 920, together with the housing support member 700, may contribute to the durability of the connection between the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222 against external impacts or loads. The support structure 920, together with the housing support member 700, may prevent damage to or detachment from the second adhesive portion 420 due to external impacts or loads. For example, the support structure 920 may include second camera modules 109, 110, and 111 (see reference). Figure 4 ) and / or the support members associated with the second camera modules 109, 110 and 111, the first support member 311 (reference) Figure 4 Supporting components provided as part of, and / or separately from, a component of, a part ...

[0082] According to various embodiments (not shown), a shielding member may be provided between the second adhesive portion 420 of the first adhesive member 400 and the housing support member 700. The shielding member prevents the second adhesive portion 420 and the housing support member 700 from being joined. The shielding member may comprise a film or sheet in the form of a thin film and may be joined to the second adhesive portion 420 by the adhesiveness of the second adhesive portion 420. The shielding member may comprise a non-adhesive material that does not adhere to the housing support member 700. For example, the shielding member may adhere to the surface 423 of the second adhesive portion 420 facing the second adhesive portion 420, but may not adhere to the surface of the housing support member 700 facing the housing support member 700. According to various embodiments, the surface 423 of the second adhesive portion 420 facing the housing support member 700 may be formed as a non-adhesive surface using various methods such as laser or printing without a shielding member.

[0083] For example, in an embodiment where the support structure 920 supports the housing support member 700 toward the second housing portion 220, a shielding member may be disposed between the second adhesive portion 420 and the housing support member 700. Although the second adhesive portion 420 and the housing support member 700 are not connected by a shielding member, the connection durability of the first cover member 221 and the second cover member 222 can be ensured by the support structure 920 supporting the housing support member 700.

[0084] Furthermore, for example, in an embodiment where the support structure 920 has been omitted, a shielding member may be disposed between the second adhesive portion 420 and the housing support member 700. Although the second adhesive portion 420 and the housing support member 700 are not connected by a shielding member, the connection durability between the first housing support member 221 and the second housing member 222 can be guaranteed at a critical level or higher because the housing support member 700 is connected to the second cover member 222 via the second adhesive member 500 and to the first cover member 221 via the third adhesive member 600.

[0085] Figure 11 The illustration shows an embodiment. Figure 7 Part 1100 of the cross-sectional structure of line B-B' in the middle.
