[0043] Communication module 190 can support the establishment of a direct (e.g., wired) or wireless communication channel between electronic device 101 and external electronic devices (e.g., electronic device 102, electronic device 104, or server 108), and perform communication via the established communication channel. Communication module 190 may include one or more communication processors capable of operating independently of processor 120 (e.g., application processor (AP)) and support direct (e.g., wired) or wireless communication. According to embodiments, communication module 190 may include wireless communication module 192 (e.g., cellular communication module, short-range wireless communication module, or Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) communication module) or wired communication module 194 (e.g., local area network (LAN) communication module or power line communication (PLC) module). One of these communication modules can communicate with an external electronic device via a first network 198 (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, or Infrared Data Association (IrDA)) or a second network 199 (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a traditional cellular network, 5G network, next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or a wide area network (WAN))). These various types of communication modules can be implemented as a single component (e.g., a single chip) or as multiple components separate from each other (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module 192 can identify and verify the electronic device 101 in the communication network (such as the first network 198 or the second network 199) using user information (e.g., the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)) stored in the user identification module 196.

[0044] Wireless communication module 192 can support 5G networks following 4G networks and next-generation communication technologies (such as new radio (NR) access technologies). NR access technologies can support enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type communication (mMTC), or ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC).

[0047] At least some of the aforementioned components can be interconnected and communicate signals (e.g., commands or data) between them via an inter-peripheral communication scheme (e.g., bus, general purpose input / output (GPIO), serial peripheral interface (SPI), or mobile industrial processor interface (MIPI)).

[0048] According to an embodiment, commands or data can be sent or received between electronic device 101 and external electronic device 104 via server 108 connected to a second network 199. Each of electronic device 102 or electronic device 104 can be a device of the same type as electronic device 101, or a device of a different type. According to an embodiment, all or some operations that would be performed on electronic device 101 can be performed on one or more of external electronic devices 102, external electronic devices 104, or server 108. For example, if electronic device 101 is required to automatically perform a function or service, or is required to perform a function or service in response to a request from a user or another device, electronic device 101 may request the one or more external electronic devices to perform at least a portion of the function or service, instead of running the function or service, or electronic device 101 may request the one or more external electronic devices to perform at least a portion of the function or service in addition to running the function or service. Upon receiving the request, one or more external electronic devices may perform at least a portion of the requested function or service, or perform additional functions or services related to the request, and transmit the result of the execution to electronic device 101. Electronic device 101 may provide the result as at least a partial response to the request, with or without further processing of the result. For this purpose, technologies such as cloud computing, distributed computing, mobile edge computing (MEC), or client-server computing may be used.

In another embodiment, external electronic device 104 may include an Internet of Things (IoT) device. Server 108 may be an intelligent server using machine learning and / or neural networks. According to embodiments, external electronic device 104 or server 108 may be included in a second network 199. Electronic device 101 may be applied to intelligent services based on 5G communication technology or IoT-related technologies (e.g., smart homes, smart cities, smart cars, or healthcare).

[0049] According to embodiments, each external electronic device (e.g., electronic device 102, electronic device 104, or server 108) may be a device of the same or different type as electronic device 101. According to embodiments, all or some of the operations performed on electronic device 101 may be performed using one or more external electronic devices (e.g., electronic device 102, electronic device 104, or server 108). For example, when electronic device 101 wishes to perform a function or service automatically or in response to a request from a user or another device, electronic device 101 may request one or more external electronic devices to perform at least a portion of the function or service without performing it itself, or electronic device 101 may request one or more external electronic devices to perform at least a portion of the function or service in addition to performing it itself. Upon receiving the request, one or more external electronic devices may perform at least a portion of the requested function or service or additional functions or services associated with the request, and may transmit the result of the performance to electronic device 101. Electronic device 101 may provide at least a portion of the response to the request as is or after further processing. For example, an external electronic device (e.g., electronic device 102, electronic device 104, or server 108) can transmit content data executed by the application to electronic device 101 after rendering, and electronic device 101, upon receiving the data, can output the content data to the display module. When electronic device 101 detects user motion via an IMU sensor or the like, the processor of electronic device 101 can correct the rendering data received from the external electronic device (e.g., electronic device 102, electronic device 104, or server 108) based on information about the motion, and can output the corrected rendering data to the display module. Information about the motion can be transmitted to the external electronic device (e.g., electronic device 102, electronic device 104, or server 108) to request rendering so that the screen data is updated accordingly. According to embodiments, the external electronic device (e.g., electronic device 102, electronic device 104, or server 108) can be various types of devices, such as a smartphone or a housing device capable of storing and charging electronic device 101.

Examples of wearable electronic devices include head-mounted display devices (e.g., head-mounted devices (HMDs), smart glasses, smartwatches or wristbands, contact lens devices, ring devices, shoe-type devices, clothing-type devices, glove-type devices, etc.), and may have various forms that can be detached from or attached to a part of the human body or clothing. Wearable electronic devices are worn directly on the human body, thereby improving portability and user accessibility. Wearable electronic devices may be, for example, head-mounted display devices or head-mounted devices (HMDs) that can be mounted, for example, on the head or ears of a wearer. Head-mounted displays or head-mounted devices (HMDs) can generally be classified into see-through types that provide augmented reality (AR) and see-closed types that provide virtual reality (VR). Electronic device 300 according to the embodiment will be described in the context of head-mounted display devices (HMDs). However, the term "electronic device" can be broadly interpreted as other electronic devices.

[0097] According to an embodiment, a head-mounted display device (HMD) can be mounted on any part of the human body (e.g., the head) and can be used to display images. For example, the head-mounted display device can be configured in the shape of goggles or glasses. The head-mounted display device can have a display 320 configured to output images located at positions facing the user's eyes.

[0098] According to an embodiment, the printed circuit board 310 may be equipped with a processor, memory, and / or an interface.

According to an embodiment, the printed circuit board 310 may include a flexible printed circuit board type radio frequency cable (FRC). For example, the printed circuit board 310 may be electrically connected to an antenna module (e.g., Figure 1 Antenna module 197) and communication module (e.g., Figure 1 (Communication module 190 in the middle).

[0099] According to an embodiment, it includes at least one heat source (e.g., Figure 7a to Figure 7cThe printed circuit board 310 (heat source 311) includes a flexible circuit board and / or a main circuit board connected to the display 320. Multiple electrical components can be placed on the printed circuit board 310. Some of these electrical components are heat sources 311 that generate heat, and may be one or more chips placed on the printed circuit board 310. For example, a display driver integrated circuit (DDI) can be placed on the flexible circuit board. As another example, at least one of a power management integrated circuit (PMIC), a power amplifier (PAM), an application processor (AP), a communication processor (CP), and a charger integrated circuit (IC) can be disposed on the main circuit board. Heat generated from at least one heat source 311 may cause malfunction and performance degradation of the electronic device.

[0100] According to an embodiment, the heat source 311 may be located at the center of the housing 301 relative to the Z-axis.

However, the location and arrangement of the heat source 311 are not limited to the above embodiment and can be changed in various ways in design.

[0101] According to embodiments, a heat sink 312 (e.g., a vapor chamber, hot plate, heat spreader, or metal shield) may be disposed adjacent to a heat source 311. According to embodiments, heat dissipation components (such as heat pipes, heat sinks, heat dissipation pins, heat pipes, or heat dissipation pins) may be positioned in contact with the heat source 311 without requiring a separate heat sink. The heat sink 312 may be a heat transfer structure configured to dissipate and / or transfer heat from the heat source 311 to the exterior of the electronic device 300. For example, the heat sink 312 may be a heat transfer structure configured to diffuse heat from the heat source 311 to other areas of the electronic device 300. For example, the heat sink 312 may be a heat transfer structure configured to diffuse heat from the heat source 311 to a heat sink 360 of the electronic device 300. The heat sink 312 may be made of a metallic material with high thermal conductivity, such as aluminum, iron, copper, or alloys thereof. According to embodiments, the heat sink 312 may be T-shaped.

Figure 5 (in the +Z axis direction) and the rightward direction (e.g., Figure 5 The second part (not shown) extends in the Z-axis direction. The first part (not shown) may be located between the first display 320a and the second display 320b. The second part (not shown) may be connected to the upper side of the electronic device 300 (e.g., in the Z-axis direction). Figure 5 The heat sink 360 is located on the +X axis direction. According to an embodiment, the heat sink 312 may include at least one hole (not shown) for injecting thermal gel.

[0102] According to an embodiment, a thermal interface material (TIM) (not shown) may be located between a heat source 311 and a heat sink 312. The thermal interface material (not shown) may be designed to function when compressed between the heat source 311 and the heat sink 312. Heat generated from the heat source 311 can be transferred to the heat sink 312 via the thermal interface material (not shown). The thermal interface material (not shown) may include, for example, solder, polymer, polymer gel, polymer / solder mixture, thermal pad, or grease. In an embodiment, the thermal interface material (TIM) (not shown) may be omitted from the electronic device 300, or one or more other components may be added to the electronic device 300.

[0103] According to an embodiment, the heat sink 360 is used to rapidly dissipate heat generated within the electronic device 300 to the outside of the electronic device 300. For example, the heat sink 360 is used to dissipate heat generated from a heat source 311 inside the electronic device 300 and / or the display 320 to the outside. According to an embodiment, the heat sink 360 may be located on the upper side of the electronic device 300 (e.g., on the side of the display 320). Figure 5 (in the +X axis direction). For example, the heat sink may be located on the upper side of the fan structure 340 of the electronic device 300 (e.g., in the +X axis direction). Figure 5 (in the +X axis direction). For example, a heat sink may be located on the display component of the electronic device 300 (e.g., Figure 6a The upper side of the first display member 302a and the second display member 302b in the middle (e.g., in Figure 5 In the +X axis direction. According to an embodiment, the heat sink 360 can be connected to the heat sink 312. For example, the heat sink can be connected to a second portion (not shown) of the heat sink 312 and can extend in the Z-axis direction corresponding to the second portion (not shown) of the heat sink 312. For example, the heat sink 360 may include a portion disposed on the upper side of the first display member 302a (e.g., on the +X axis direction). Figure 7c The first heat sink 360a is located on the +X axis direction, and the second heat sink 360a is located on the upper side of the second display member 302b (e.g., on the +X axis direction). Figure 7c The second heat sink 360b is located in the +X axis direction.

According to an embodiment, the display 320 may include a first display 320a arranged corresponding to the user's left eye and a second display 320b arranged corresponding to the user's right eye. According to an embodiment, in the case of a head-mounted display device (HMD), when using a 4K display with high power consumption, a heat dissipation structure may be required that can effectively dissipate heat not only from the heat source 311 (e.g., the AP) but also from the display 320.

For example, the display panel 330 may be made of a metallic material, such as aluminum, iron, copper, or alloys thereof. The electronic device 300 according to the embodiment can effectively dissipate heat from the display 320 by using the display panel 330 as a heat dissipation structure for dissipating heat from the display 320.

[0106] According to an embodiment, the fan structure 340 can be configured to induce convection so that heat generated inside the electronic device 300 can be dissipated to the outside of the electronic device 300. For example, the fan structure 340 can be configured to induce convection towards the upper side where the heat sink 360 is disposed (e.g., Figure 5 The fan structure 340 facilitates convection in the +X axis direction, allowing heat generated from the heat source 311 and display 320 within the electronic device to be dissipated to the outside of the electronic device via the heat sink 360. According to an embodiment, the fan structure 340 may include a first fan structure 340a positioned corresponding to the user's left eye and in contact with the first display panel 330a, and a second fan structure 340b positioned corresponding to the user's right eye and in contact with the second display panel 330b. According to an embodiment, the fan structure 340 may include multiple exhaust vents for not only reducing the temperature of the main heat source 311 (e.g., AP) but also removing heat generated by the display 320. This will be described later.

[0107] According to an embodiment, an inlet vent (not shown) for allowing external air to enter the interior of the electronic device can be positioned on a surface (facing the -X-axis direction) at the lower end of the electronic device. According to an embodiment, an exhaust vent (not shown) for allowing air to escape from the interior of the electronic device to the outside can be positioned on a surface (facing the +X-axis direction) at the upper end of the electronic device. For example, air can flow through the inlet vent (not shown) for allowing air to enter the interior of the electronic device and the exhaust vent (not shown) for allowing air to escape to the outside, thus enabling air circulation.
