The light-transmissive area may include an area overlapping with the effective area (e.g., the field of view (FOV)) of the camera module 205, and light that is imaged by the image sensor and used to generate an image passes through this effective area. For example, the light-transmissive area of the display 201 may include an area where the pixel density and / or the wiring density is lower than the pixel density and / or the wiring density of the surrounding environment. For example, the light-transmissive area may replace the opening. The camera module 205 may include, for example, an under-display camera (UDC). In another embodiment, some of the sensor modules 204 may be arranged to perform their functions in the internal space of the electronic device without being visibly exposed through the front plate 202. For example, in this case, the area of the display 201 facing the sensor module may not require a perforated opening.

[0070] Figure 4a and Figure 4b is a view showing an electronic device 400 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0071] Figure 4a is a view showing a housing 410 of an electronic device 400 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4b is a view showing a window cover 430 and a display 440 of an electronic device 400 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0072] Figure 4a and Figure 4b The electronic device 400 may refer to, for example, the electronic device 101 in reference Figure 1 or may include at least a part of the electronic device 101 Figure 1 in.

[0073] Figure 4a and Figure 4b The electronic device 400 may refer to, for example, the electronic device 300 or Figure 3 in reference to FIG. 2 or the electronic device 300 or 400 Figure 3 or may include at least a part of the electronic device 300 or 400 in FIG. 2 or

[0074] When describing the electronic device 400 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the width direction of the electronic device 400 may refer to, for example, the x-axis direction, and the length direction of the electronic device 400 may refer to, for example, the y-axis direction.

[0075] Reference Figure 4a and Figure 4b According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 400 may include a housing 410, a waterproof member 420, a window cover 430, a display 440, and / or a molding part 450.

[0076] In an embodiment, the housing 410 may form the appearance of the electronic device 400. The housing 410 may provide a space in which electronic components of the electronic device 400 are disposed.

[0077] In an embodiment, the housing 410 may extend in the width direction (e.g., the x-axis direction) and the length direction (e.g., the y-axis direction) of the electronic device 400.

[0078] In an embodiment, the waterproof member 420 may be disposed on one surface of the housing 410. The waterproof member 420 may be disposed to extend from the one surface of the housing 410 along the perimeter of the housing 410.

[0079] In an embodiment, the waterproof member 420 may be a waterproof tape containing a waterproof material. The waterproof member 420 may be used to prevent and / or reduce external water from flowing into the electronic device 400.

[0080] In an embodiment, on Figure 4a the one surface of the housing 410 as shown, Figure 4b the window cover 430 and the display 440 as shown may be disposed. The window cover 430 and the display 440 may be disposed to cover the one surface of the housing 410.

[0081] In an embodiment, the window cover 430 may refer to, for example, Figure 3 the front cover 320, or may include Figure 3 at least a part of the front cover 320.

[0082] In an embodiment, the window cover 430 may include a transparent material such that the display 440 may be exposed to the outside. For example, the window cover 430 may include transparent glass or plastic.

[0083] In an embodiment, the display 440 may refer to, for example, Figure 3 the display 330, or may include Figure 3 at least a part of the display 330.

[0084] In an embodiment, the circuit board 460 may be disposed on one surface of the display 440. The circuit board 460 may include at least one processor (e.g., Figure 1 the processor 120). The circuit board 460 may control the driving of the display 440 through the processor. The circuit board 460 may be electrically connected to the driving circuit 480 (refer to Figure 6 ).

[0085] In an embodiment, the circuit cover member 470 may be disposed in one direction (e.g., the negative y-axis direction) of the circuit board 460. The circuit cover member 470 may be a tape disposed to cover one surface of the driving circuit 480 (refer to Figure 6 ).

[0086] In an embodiment, the molding part 450 may be disposed on one surface of the window cover 430 and the display 440. The molding part 450 may extend along the perimeter of the display 440 and the window cover 430 on one surface of the window cover 430 and the display 440.

[0087] In an embodiment, at least a portion of the molding part 450 may be disposed on the outer perimeter of the circuit board 460. For example, referring to Figure 4b , a portion of the molding part 450 may be spaced apart from the circuit board 460 on one side (e.g., based on the negative x-axis direction of the circuit board 460) and the other side of the circuit board 460.

[0088] At least a portion of the molding part 450 according to an embodiment may be disposed at a position overlapping with the position where the bending part 441 of the display 440 is disposed (refer to Figure 6 ).

[0089] In an embodiment, the width of the molding part 450 may be formed differently depending on the position where the molding part 450 extends. For example, referring to Figure 4b , in the molding part 450 extending in the length direction (e.g., y-axis direction) of the electronic device 400, a region where the molding part 450 extends together with the interposed circuit board 460 may be formed with a width narrower than that of other regions.

[0090] In an embodiment, when the window cover 430 and the display 440 are disposed on one surface of the housing 410, the waterproof member 420 and the molding part 450 may be disposed in contact with each other. For example, the waterproof member 420 may be disposed on one surface of the molding part 450 (e.g., based on the molding part 450, the surface opposite to the surface where the display 440 is located). The waterproof member 420 and the molding part 450 being disposed in contact with each other can prevent and / or block external water from flowing into the electronic device 400.

[0091] In an embodiment, the waterproof member 420 and the molding part 450 may extend to form a closed loop. For example, the waterproof member 420 and the molding part 450 may form a closed loop without a cutout part by extending in the width direction (e.g., x-axis direction) and the length direction (e.g., y-axis direction) of the electronic device 400.

[0092] In an embodiment, the molding part 450 may be used to reduce the gap between the internal structures of the electronic device 400. For example, in the display 440, there may be a gap between a portion where the circuit board 460 and the circuit cover member 470 are disposed and a portion where the circuit board 460 and the circuit cover member 470 are not disposed, and the molding part 450 may extend to reduce the gap between these portions.

[0093] In an embodiment, the waterproof member 420 may be disposed on the molded portion 450, and may easily and completely seal the electronic device 400. For example, it may be difficult for the waterproof member 420 to completely seal the electronic device 400 due to gaps between internal structures of the electronic device 400. Since the molded portion 450 is used to reduce the gaps between internal structures of the electronic device 400, when the waterproof member 420 is disposed on the molded portion 450, the electronic device 400 may be easily and completely sealed.

[0094] Since the electronic device 400 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure does not include a cured in place gasket (CIPG) for connecting between the waterproof members 420, but the waterproof function of the electronic device 400 is realized by setting the waterproof member 420 on the molding part 450, the cost consumed in the manufacture and setting of the CIPG can be saved. In addition, since the electronic device 400 according to the embodiment has a structure that does not include the CIPG, the separation and maintenance of the window cover 430 and the display 440 will be easy.

[0095] Since the electronic device 400 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure does not include a joint portion that may be located at a lower end portion of the electronic device 400 (eg, a distal end based on the negative y-axis direction of the electronic device 400 ), a black matrix (BM) area on the display 440 where no picture is displayed may be reduced.

[0096] Figure 5a , Figure 5b , Figure 5c and Figure 5d is a view showing a molding part 550 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0097] Figure 5a is a view illustrating a molding part 550 provided at one end of an electronic device 400 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5b It is shown Figure 5a An enlarged view of the molded portion 550 is shown in area A. Figure 5c is a perspective view illustrating an inclined region 551 of a molding part 550 according to an embodiment. Figure 5d is a perspective view showing an inclined region 551 of a molding part 550 according to an embodiment viewed in another direction.

[0098] In the embodiments, reference Figure 5a , the molded portion 550 may not be provided to extend along the entire circumference of the electronic device 400, but may be provided only at one end of the electronic device 400. For example, the molded portion 550 may be provided only at a distal end of the electronic device 400 located in the negative y-axis direction.

[0099] The molding part 550 according to the embodiment may be disposed at the bent part 441 (refer toFigure 6 ) at a position where the positions overlap.

[0100] The molding part 550 according to the embodiment may extend in the width direction (e.g., the x-axis direction) of the electronic device 400.

[0101] In an embodiment, the molding part 550 may extend to cover at least a part of the circuit cover member 470. For example, referring to Figure 5a and Figure 5b , the molding part 550 may be located at the distal ends of the circuit board 460 and the circuit cover member 470 in the negative y-axis direction, and may extend to cover at least a part of the circuit board 460 and the circuit cover member 470.

[0102] Referring to Figure 5b , the molding part 550 according to the embodiment may be formed to extend in the width direction (e.g., the x-axis direction) of the electronic device 400.

[0103] In an embodiment, one end of the molding part 550 may refer to, for example, the distal end of the molding part 550 in the negative x-axis direction, and the other end of the molding part 550 may refer to, for example, the distal end of the molding part 550 in the positive x-axis direction.

[0104] In an embodiment, one end of the circuit board 460 may refer to, for example, the distal end of the circuit board 460 in the negative x-axis direction, and the other end of the circuit board 460 may refer to, for example, the distal end of the circuit board 460 in the positive x-axis direction.

[0105] The molding part 550 according to the embodiment may include an inclined area 551 and / or an extended area 552. The inclined area 551 may be an area formed at one end and the other end of the molding part 550. The extended area 552 may be an area extending between the inclined areas 551.

[0106] Referring to Figure 5b , the molding part 550 according to the embodiment may include inclined areas 551 at one end and the other end thereof. The inclined areas 551 may be arranged to cover parts of the circuit board 460 and the display 440 at one end and the other end of the molding part 550.

[0107] In an embodiment, the inclined areas 551 may be arranged at positions overlapping with the positions where one end and the other end of the circuit board 460 are formed.

[0108] In an embodiment, the inclined area 551 of the molding part 550 may be an area extending from one surface of the circuit board 460 toward one surface of the display 440.

[0109] In an embodiment, one surface of the display 440 may refer to, for example, the surface of the display 440 facing the negative z-axis direction.

[0110] Reference Figure 5c According to an embodiment, the molding part 550 may further extend in the negative z-axis direction based on one surface of the display 440. For example, the molding part 550 may extend to have a thickness in the z-axis direction based on one surface of the display 440.

[0111] According to an embodiment, since the molding part 550 extends further in the z-axis direction compared to one surface of the display 440, the extended area 552 of the molding part 550 may be disposed at a position that is further moved in the height direction (e.g., the negative z-axis direction) of the electronic device 400 compared to one surface of the display 440.

[0112] In an embodiment, the extended area 552 of the molding part 550 may be formed to extend in the width direction (e.g., the x-axis direction) of the electronic device 400 while facing the negative z-axis direction based on the molding part 550.

[0113] Reference Figure 5a and Figure 5b , the inclined area 551 of the molding part 550 may extend toward one surface of the display 440 in the inclined direction based on a plane substantially parallel to the extended area 552.

[0114] In an embodiment, the thickness of the inclined area 551 (e.g., the length of the inclined area 551 in the z-axis direction) may become thicker as it approaches the extended area 552. For example, the inclined area 551 may be formed such that the thickness of the inclined area 551 becomes smaller as the inclined area 551 moves away from the extended area 552.

[0115] In an embodiment, at least a part of the waterproof member 420 (reference Figure 4a ) may be disposed on the molding part 550. For example, at least a part of the waterproof member 420 (reference Figure 4a ) may be disposed in a form that extends along the inclined area 551 and the extended area 552 of the molding part 550.

[0116] In an embodiment, when the molding part 550 includes the inclined area 551, the waterproof member 420 (reference Figure 4a ) may extend to be in close contact with the molding part 550, and no gap space may be formed between the waterproof member 420 (reference Figure 4a ) and the display 440. For example, when the molding part 550 does not include the inclined area 551, due to the gap between one surface of the display 440 and the circuit board 460, a gap may be formed in the waterproof member 420 (reference Figure 4aA gap space is formed between the display 440. In the case where the molding part 550 includes an inclined area 551, the molding part 550 may extend along the inclined area 551 to connect to one surface of the display 440. Therefore, the waterproof member 420 (refer to Figure 4a ) may extend to be in complete close contact with the molding part 550, and no gap space may be formed between the waterproof member 420 (refer to Figure 4a ) and the display 440.

[0117] In an embodiment, Figure 4b the shown molding part 450 may include Figure 5b the shown inclined area 551. Figure 4b The area of the shown molding part 450 extending from the circuit board 460 to one surface of the display 440 may be formed in the same form as the form of Figure 5b the shown inclined area 551. For example, Figure 4b the area of the shown molding part 450 extending from the circuit board 460 to one surface of the display 440 may extend from one surface of the circuit board 460 in an inclined direction toward one surface of the display 440.

[0118] Figure 6 is a view showing a bent part 441 of the display 440 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0119] Figure 6 may be a cross-sectional view showing the window cover 430 and the display 440 along Figure 4b the shown cross-section A - A'.

[0120] When describing the display 440 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the length direction of the display 440 may refer to the y-axis direction, for example, and the height direction of the display 440 may refer to the z-axis direction. The length direction and height direction of the display 440 may be substantially the same as the length direction and height direction of the electronic device 400.

[0121] In an embodiment, the display 440 may be disposed on one surface of the window cover 430. For example, the display 440 may be disposed on the surface of the window cover 430 facing the negative z-axis direction.

[0122] In an embodiment, the display 440 may include multiple layers. For example, the display 440 may include an adhesive layer, a display panel, a protective layer for protecting the display panel, a barrier layer for blocking electromagnetic waves transmitted from the display panel, and / or a support layer for absorbing impacts from the outside.

[0123] In an embodiment, the display 440 may include a bent portion 441 that is at least partially bent and extends. The bent portion 441 may be located at one end of the display 440 (e.g., the distal end of the display 440 in the negative y-axis direction).

[0124] In an embodiment, the bent portion 441 may extend in the length direction of the display 440 (e.g., the y-axis direction), and then may be bent to extend in the height direction of the display 440 (e.g., the z-axis direction).

[0125] In an embodiment, the inward direction based on the bent portion 441 of the electronic device 400 may represent the direction pointing from the bent portion 441 toward the inside of the electronic device 400. For example, referring to Figure 6 , the inward direction based on the bent portion 441 of the electronic device 400 may represent the positive y-axis direction based on the bent portion 441.

[0126] In an embodiment, the outward direction based on the bent portion 441 of the electronic device 400 may represent the direction pointing from the bent portion 441 toward the outside of the electronic device 400. For example, referring to Figure 6 , the outward direction based on the bent portion 441 of the electronic device 400 may represent the negative y-axis direction based on the bent portion 441.

[0127] In an embodiment, at least a portion of the bent portion 441 may be formed convexly in the outward direction of the electronic device 400.

[0128] In an embodiment, one surface of the bent portion 441 may refer to the surface facing the outward direction (e.g., the negative y-axis direction) based on the bent portion 441 of the electronic device 400, and the other surface of the bent portion 441 may refer to the surface facing the inward direction (e.g., the positive y-axis direction) based on the bent portion 441 of the electronic device 400.

[0129] In an embodiment, the molding portion 450 may include a first molding region 450a, a second molding region 450b, and / or a third molding region 450c.

[0130] In an embodiment, at least a portion of the molding portion 450 may be disposed on one surface of the bent portion 441, and at least a portion of the molding portion 450 may be disposed on the other surface of the bent portion 441. For example, the first molding region 450a may be disposed on one surface of the bent portion 441. The second molding region 450b may be disposed on the other surface of the bent portion 441.

[0131] In an embodiment, the bending part 441 may be spaced apart from the window cover 430 in the height direction (e.g., the z-axis direction) of the electronic device 400. At least a part of the molding part 450 may be disposed in a space formed due to the interval between the bending part 441 and the window cover 430.

[0132] In an embodiment, the rigidity of the bending part 441 may be enhanced by disposing the molding part 450 on one surface and the other surface of the bending part 441 of the display 440. Since the bending part 441 includes a bent and extended shape, it may be vulnerable to external shocks when not supported by a separate structure. The molding part 450 may be disposed on one surface and the other surface of the bending part 441, and may be used to enhance the rigidity of the bending part 441 by supporting the bending part 441.

[0133] In an embodiment, the driving circuit 480 may be disposed in one direction of the display 440. For example, the driving circuit 480 may be disposed in the negative z-axis direction based on the display 440.

[0134] In an embodiment, the driving circuit 480 may be a display driving circuit (display driver integrated circuit (DDI)). The driving circuit 480 may be electrically connected to the display 440. The driving circuit 480 may be used to control a plurality of pixels included in the display 440.

[0135] In an embodiment, the circuit cover member 470 may be disposed in one direction of the driving circuit 480.

[0179] In an embodiment, the inward direction of the electronic device 900 based on the bent portion 921 may represent the direction pointing from the bent portion 921 toward the inside of the electronic device 900. For example, referring to Figure 10 , the inward direction of the electronic device 900 based on the bent portion 921 may represent the positive y-axis direction based on the bent portion 921.

[0180] In an embodiment, the outward direction of the electronic device 900 based on the bent portion 921 may represent the direction pointing from the bent portion 921 toward the outside of the electronic device 900. For example, referring to Figure 10 , the outward direction of the electronic device 900 based on the bent portion 921 may represent the negative y-axis direction based on the bent portion 921.

[0181] In an embodiment, at least a portion of the bent portion 921 may be convexly formed in the outward direction of the electronic device 900 (e.g., the negative y-axis direction).

[0182] In an embodiment, the bending part 921 may be disposed at an interval from the window cover 910 in the height direction (e.g., the z-axis direction) of the electronic device 900.

[0186] Figure 11a and Figure 11b are views showing a molding part 950 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure and the display 920 on which the molding part 950 is disposed.

[0187] Figure 11a is a view showing the molding part 950 according to an embodiment. Figure 11b is a view showing the display 920 and the window cover 910 on which the molding part 950 is disposed according to an embodiment.

[0188] Reference Figure 11a and Figure 11b , the molding part 950 according to an embodiment may be formed to extend along the peripheral shape of the window cover 910 and the display 920. For example, in the case where the window cover 910 and the display 920 include a circular shape, the molding part 950 may be formed to extend in a circular peripheral shape.

[0189] Although Figure 11a shows the molding part 950 extending in a circular peripheral shape, this is exemplary, and the shape of the molding part 950 may not be limited thereto. For example, in the case where the window cover 910 and the display 920 have a rectangular shape, the molding part may be formed to extend in a rectangular peripheral shape.

[0190] Reference Figure 11b , the molding part 950 may be disposed on one surface of the window cover 910 and the display 920. For example, the molding part 950 may be disposed on one surface of the window cover 910 and the display 920 along the periphery of the window cover 910 and the display 920.

[0191] Reference Figure 11a and Figure 11b , the width of the molding part 450 can be formed differently depending on the position where the molding part 950 is set. For example, the width of the molding part 950 set on the bending part 921 (reference Figure 10 ) of the display 920 located at the distal end in the negative y-axis direction based on the display 920 can be formed to be larger than the width of the molding part 950 set in other areas.

[0192] In an embodiment, the molding part 950 can be used to reduce the step height between the internal structures of the electronic device 900. For example, the molding part 950 can extend, and the gap between the part where the circuit cover member 940 is set on the display 920 and the part where the circuit cover member 940 is not set can be reduced.

[0193] Figure 12 is a view showing the bending part 921, the molding part 950, and the waterproof member 960 of the display 920 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0194] Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view showing the bending part 921, the molding part 950, and the waterproof member 960 along the Figure 11b section D-D' shown in.

[0195] In an embodiment, one surface of the bending part 921 can refer to the surface facing the outward direction (e.g., the negative y-axis direction) of the electronic device 900 based on the bending part 921, and the other surface of the bending part 921 can refer to the surface facing the inward direction (e.g., the positive y-axis direction) of the electronic device 900 based on the bending part 921.

[0196] In an embodiment, the molding part 950 can include a first molding area 950a, a second molding area 950b, and / or a third molding area 950c.

[0197] In an embodiment, at least a part of the molding part 950 can be set on one surface of the bending part 921, and at least a part of the molding part 950 can be set on the other surface of the bending part 921. For example, the first molding area 950a can be set on one surface of the bending part 921. The second molding area 950b can be set on the other surface of the bending part 921.

[0198] In an embodiment, at least a part of the molding part 950 is set in the space formed due to the interval between the bending part 921 and the window cover 910.

[0199] In an embodiment, the molding part 950 may be disposed on at least a part of the circuit cover member 940. For example, the third molding area 950c of the molding part 950 may be disposed to cover at least a part of the circuit cover member 940 in the negative z-axis direction based on the circuit cover member 940.

[0200] In an embodiment, the molding part 950 may be formed by using an injection molding manufacturing method. For example, after manufacturing the display 920, the molding part 950 may be disposed on the bent part 921 of the display 920 by insert injection molding.

[0201] In an embodiment, by disposing the molding part 950 on one surface and the other surface of the bent part 921 of the display 920, the rigidity of the bent part 921 may be enhanced. Since the bent part 921 has a bent and extended shape, it may be vulnerable to external impact when not supported due to a separate structure. The molding part 950 may be disposed on the bent part 921 and enhance the rigidity of the bent part 921 by supporting the bent part 921.

[0202] In an embodiment, the waterproof member 960 may be disposed on the molding part 950. For example, the waterproof member 960 may be disposed in the negative z-axis direction based on the molding part 950. The waterproof member 960 may extend along the perimeter of the window cover 910 and the display 920 in the direction in which the molding part 950 extends.

[0203] In an embodiment, the waterproof member 960 may be a waterproof tape containing a waterproof material. The waterproof member 960 may be used to prevent and / or reduce external water from flowing into the electronic device 900.

[0204] In an embodiment, the waterproof member 960 may be disposed on the molding part 950, and the electronic device 900 may be easily and completely sealed. For example, due to the gaps between the internal structures of the electronic device 900, it may be difficult for the waterproof member 960 to completely seal the electronic device 900. Since the molding part 950 is used to reduce the gaps between the internal structures of the electronic device 900, the electronic device 900 may be easily and completely sealed when the waterproof member 960 is disposed on the molding part 950.
