The first acoustic channel 307 may extend from the microphone hole 305 formed on the side surface 110C to the acoustic gasket 356. The second acoustic channel 308 formed in the acoustic gasket 356 may extend from the frame 306 to the substrate 352. The second acoustic channel 308 may communicate the first acoustic channel 307 of the frame 306 and the acoustic port 309 of the substrate 352. The acoustic port 309 may be formed in the substrate 352 to be connected to the sound sensor 354. The acoustic gasket 356 may include, for example, silicone rubber to seal the acoustic channel, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The acoustic gasket 356 may also include a mesh that prevents the acoustic gasket 356 itself from being deformed or a material constituting the acoustic gasket 356, a porous material, and / or a membrane that transmits the sound (air vibration) introduced into the first acoustic channel 307 to the second acoustic channel 308. The sound sensor 354 may acquire a sound signal that is delivered to the second acoustic channel 308 through the acoustic channel after passing through the first acoustic channel 307. However, unlike what is shown, the first acoustic channel 307 may be formed in the first cover 391 (e.g., Figure 7 In this case, the sound sensor structure 350 can be installed in the bracket 360 of the rear cover 391. In addition, the acoustic gasket 356 can be set between the substrate 352 and the first cover 391.
[0060] The first cover 391 of the rear cover 390 may include a first surface 391A and a second surface 391B. The first surface 391A may at least partially define the rear surface 110B. The second surface 391B opposite to the first surface 391A may face the printed circuit board 380. A through hole 399 may be formed in the first cover 391. The through hole 399 may extend from the first surface 391A to the second surface 391B. The through hole 399 may have different diameters, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0061] The biometric sensor structure 320 may be installed in the back cover 390. For example, the biometric sensor structure 320 may be disposed in the first cover 391. For example, the biometric sensor structure 320 may be at least partially accommodated in the through hole 399 of the first cover 391. The biometric sensor structure 320 may acquire biometric information through the opening 397 of the first cover 391. The biometric information acquired by the biometric sensor structure 320 may be different from the biometric information of the first sensor module 111. The biometric sensor structure 320 may include a biometric sensor 324, a lens 326, a sensor housing 328, a substrate 322, and a support plate 323.
[0062] The biometric sensor 324 may be disposed on the substrate 322. For example, the biometric sensor 324 may be disposed on one surface of the substrate 322 facing the opening 397 of the first cover 391. The biometric sensor 324 may be at least partially located in the through hole 399 of the first cover 391. The biometric sensor 324 may be disposed in a sensor housing 328 disposed in the substrate 322. The biometric sensor 324 may be located between the substrate 322 and the lens 326.
[0063] The lens 326 may be coupled to the sensor housing 328. The lens 326 may be located between the biometric sensor 324 and the opening 397. The lens 326 may be configured to transmit light of a specific wavelength band. For example, the lens 326 may include a silicon lens or a glass lens that may transmit light of a long wave infrared (LWIR) band, but the present disclosure is not limited to the above examples.
[0064] The biometric sensor 324, the lens 326, and the opening 397 may be at least partially aligned. For example, the biometric sensor 324, the lens 326, and the opening 397 may be at least partially aligned with respect to one direction (eg, the second direction D2).
[0065] The biometric sensor may detect the biometric information of the user through the lens 326. For example, the biometric sensor 324 may include a temperature sensor (eg, an optical temperature sensor). The biometric sensor 324 may detect the body temperature of the user, for example, by using a temperature sensor. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above examples.
[0066] The support plate 323 of the biometric sensor structure 320 may be disposed on the substrate 322. For example, the support plate 323 may be disposed on a surface opposite to one surface of the substrate 322 on which the biometric sensor 324 is disposed. The support plate 323 may be disposed between the substrate 322 and the damping structure 310. The support plate 323 may support the substrate 322. The support plate 323 may enhance the strength of the substrate 322 and prevent deformation thereof. The support plate 323 may include, for example, a metal such as stainless steel, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0067] In an embodiment, the sensor housing 328 may be disposed on the substrate 322. For example, the sensor housing 328 may be disposed on one surface of the substrate 322 on which the biometric sensor 324 is disposed. The sensor housing 328 may at least partially surround the biometric sensor 324 and the lens 326. The sensor housing 328 may protect the biometric sensor 324 and the lens 326 disposed therein. The sensor housing 328 may include metal, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0068] The sensor housing 328 may have a shape substantially similar to the through hole 399. The bonding member 325 may be inserted between the sensor housing 328 and the first cover 391. For example, the bonding member 325 may be disposed between the sensor housing 328 and the through hole 399. The bonding member 325 may at least partially fill the gap between the sensor housing 328 and the through hole 399. When the biometric sensor structure 320 is bonded to the first cover 391, the bonding member 325 may prevent foreign matter (e.g., moisture or dust) from being introduced between the sensor housing 328 and the through hole 399. The bonding member 325 may be formed, for example, by coating and curing a bonding liquid, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0069] The damping structure 310 may be interposed between the printed circuit board 380 and the biometric sensor structure 320. For example, the damping structure 310 may be disposed between the first surface 380A of the printed circuit board 380 and the support plate 323 of the biometric sensor structure 320.
[0070] The damping structure 310 may be located between the capacitor 382 and the sound sensor 354 with respect to a direction parallel to the first surface 380A or the second surface 380B of the printed circuit board 380 (a direction perpendicular to the first direction D1). The printed circuit board 380 may include a side portion closer to the sound sensor structure 350, and the damping structure 310 may contact the side portion of the printed circuit board 380. No capacitor may be provided on the first surface 380A and the second surface 380B of the printed circuit 380 between the damping structure 310 and the sound sensor 354, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0071] The damping structure 310 may elastically support the printed circuit board 380 and the biometric sensor structure 320. For example, the damping structure 310 may include a first member 311 and a second member 312 having a specific value of resilience. The first member 311 and the second member 312 may have different resilience indices. The resilience index (25% CFD (compression force deformation)) of the first member 311 may be, for example, 0.3 kgf / cm 2 Up to 3.0kgf / cm 2 However, the rebound index (25% CFD) of the first member 311 can be improved by using 0.3 kgf / cm 2 The second member 312 may have a greater rebound index than the first member 311. However, the rebound index (25% CFD) of the second member 312 may be 3 kgf / cm 2 or less. The first member 311 may include, for example, a sponge. The sponge may include, for example, urethane, silicon, or rubber, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The second member 312 may include, for example, polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The second member 312 may have a film form, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0072] Although not shown, the damping structure 310 may include at least two of the first bonding layer, the second bonding layer, and the third bonding layer. The first bonding layer may be disposed between the biometric sensor structure 320 and the first member 311. The first bonding layer may attach the first member 311 to the support plate 323 of the biometric sensor structure 320. The second bonding layer may be disposed between the first member 311 and the second member 312. The second bonding layer may bond the first member 311 to the second member 312. The third member 312 may be disposed between the second member 312 and the printed circuit board 380. The third bonding layer may attach the second member 312 to the first surface 380A of the printed circuit board 380. As an example, the damping structure 310 may include the first bonding layer and the third bonding layer, and may not include the second bonding layer. In this case, when the printed circuit board 380 to which the second member 312 is attached and the biometric sensor structure 320 to which the first member 311 is attached are assembled, the second member 312 may be stacked on the first member 311 without the need for a separate member.
[0073] The capacitor mounted on the printed circuit board 380 may vibrate when repeatedly expanded and contracted by an applied voltage. The vibration of the capacitor 382 may be transmitted to the printed circuit board 380. The vibration transmitted to the printed circuit board 380 is noise and may be heard by the user or transmitted to the sound sensor 354. In addition, a wearable electronic device having a relatively small volume and a narrow internal space may be more susceptible to vibration and noise because the printed circuit board 380 and the sound sensor 354 are disposed closer to each other.
[0074] The damping structure 310 may elastically support the printed circuit board 380 in a direction (e.g., the first direction D1) perpendicular to the printed circuit board 380. The damping structure 310 may suppress vibration caused by the capacitor 382 and transmitted to the printed circuit board 380, and may suppress and / or prevent the vibration caused by the capacitor 382 from being delivered to the sound sensor 354 as audible noise.
[0075] The damping structure 310 may provide different magnitudes of resilience (or damping force) to the printed circuit board 380 and the biometric sensor structure 320. For example, the resilience of the damping structure 310 in the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 may be different. For example, in the resilience provided by the damping structure 310 in the first direction D1, the resilience generated by the second member 312 contacting the printed circuit board 380 may be dominant, and in the resilience provided in the second direction D2, the resilience generated by the first member 311 contacting the biometric sensor structure 320 may be dominant. Because the resilience index of the second member 312 is greater than the resilience index (or hardness) of the first member 311, the resilience provided by the damping structure 310 in the first direction D1 may be higher than the resilience in the second direction. When the resilience in the second direction D2 is higher than the required resilience, the biometric sensor structure 320 may move in the first direction D1 or the second direction D2, which may seriously affect the performance of the biometric sensor 324. In addition, when the resilience in the second direction D2 is higher than the required resilience, the waterproof performance between the biometric sensor structure 320 and the first cover 391 provided by the joint member 325 may be deteriorated. When the resilience in the first direction D1 is lower than the required resilience, it may be difficult to suppress the vibration transmitted to the printed circuit board 380. The damping structure 310 can minimize the influence on the biometric sensor structure 320 while suppressing the vibration transmitted to the printed circuit board 380 by providing different magnitudes of resilience in the first direction D1 and the second direction D2.
[0076] The first cover 391 may include, for example, a protrusion 394. The protrusion 394 may protrude from the second surface 391B toward the printed circuit board 380. The protrusion 394 may at least partially overlap with the biometric sensor structure 320 relative to a direction perpendicular to the first direction D1. In addition, although not shown, a damping structure including the first member 311 and / or the second member 312 may be disposed between the protrusion 394 and the first surface 380A of the printed circuit board 380. In addition, although not shown, a damping structure including the first member 311 and / or the second member 312 may be disposed in an area where the first surface 361A of the bracket 360 and the second surface 380B of the printed circuit board 380 contact each other. The first member 311 and the second member 312 of the damping structure 310 may be interchangeable.
[0077] Depending on the model of the product being produced, the distance between the biometric sensor structure 320 and the printed circuit board 380 may be different. For example, the distance between the biometric sensor structure 320 and the printed circuit board 380 may become greater than the distance shown (however, the absolute or relative size of the configuration shown is not limited to the example shown). In this case, in the damping structure 310, the thickness of the first member 311 and / or the second member 312 may be further increased to compensate for the increased distance between the printed circuit board 380 and the biometric sensor structure 320. Optionally, the damping structure 310 may further include a third member stacked on the first member 311 or the second member 312 to compensate for the increased distance between the printed circuit board 380 and the biometric sensor structure 320. The third member may be substantially the same as the first member 311 and the second member 312. On the contrary, the distance between the biometric sensor structure 320 and the printed circuit board 380 may become less than the distance shown. In this case, the thickness of the first member 311 and / or the second member 312 may be reduced to compensate for the reduced distance between the printed circuit board 380 and the biometric sensor structure 320. Alternatively or additionally, the damping structure 310 may not include the second member 312 to compensate for the reduced distance between the printed circuit board 380 and the biometric sensor structure 320 .
