[0009] The processor 120 can, for example, execute software (e.g., program 140) to control at least one other component (e.g., hardware or software component) of the electronic device 101 connected to the processor 120, and perform various data processing or calculations. According to one embodiment, as at least part of the data processing or calculation, the processor 120 can store instructions or data received from other components (e.g., sensor module 176 or communication module 190) in volatile memory 132, process the instructions or data stored in volatile memory 132, and store the resulting data in non-volatile memory 134. According to one embodiment, the processor 120 may include a main processor 121 (e.g., central processing unit or application processor) or an auxiliary processor 123 (e.g., graphics processing unit, neural network processing unit (NPU), image signal processor, sensor hub processor, or communication processor) that can operate independently or together with it. For example, if the electronic device 101 includes a main processor 121 and an auxiliary processor 123, the auxiliary processor 123 may use lower power than the main processor 121, or it may be configured to specialize in a specified function. The auxiliary processor 123 can be implemented separately from or as part of the main processor 121.
[0010] The auxiliary processor 123 can, for example, control at least a portion of the functions or states related to at least one component of the electronic device 101 (e.g., display module 160, sensor module 176, or communication module 190) on behalf of the main processor 121 while the main processor 121 is inactive (e.g., sleep), or together with the main processor 121 while the main processor 121 is active (e.g., running an application). According to one embodiment, the auxiliary processor 123 (e.g., image signal processor or communication processor) can be implemented as part of another functionally related component (e.g., camera module 180 or communication module 190). According to one embodiment, the auxiliary processor 123 (e.g., neural network processing unit) can include hardware structures specialized for processing artificial intelligence models. Artificial intelligence models can be generated through machine learning. Such learning may be performed, for example, on the electronic device 101 itself on which the artificial intelligence model is executed, or via a separate server (e.g., server 108).

According to one embodiment, the receiver can be implemented separately from the speaker or as a part thereof.
[0015] The display module 160 can visually provide information to the outside (e.g., the user) of the electronic device 101. The display module 160 can include, for example, a display, a hologram device, or a projector and a control circuit for controlling the corresponding device. According to one embodiment, the display module 160 can include a touch sensor set to sense a touch or a pressure sensor set to measure the intensity of the force generated by the touch.
[0016] The audio module 170 can convert sound into an electrical signal or, conversely, convert an electrical signal into sound. According to one embodiment, the audio module 170 can acquire sound via the input module 150 or output sound via the audio output module 155 or an external electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 102) (e.g., a speaker or headphones) directly or wirelessly connected to the electronic device 101.
[0017] The sensor module 176 can sense the operating state (e.g., power or temperature) of the electronic device 101 or the external environmental state (e.g., the user state) and generate an electrical signal or a data value corresponding to the sensed state. According to one embodiment, the sensor module 176 can include, for example, a gesture sensor, a gyro sensor, a barometric pressure sensor, a magnetic sensor, an acceleration sensor, a grip sensor, a proximity sensor, a color sensor, an IR (infrared) sensor, a biological sensor, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, or an illuminance sensor.
[0018] Interface 177 can support one or more designated protocols that can be used for the electronic device 101 to connect directly or wirelessly to an external electronic device (e.g., electronic device 102). According to one embodiment, interface 177 may include, for example, HDMI® (high definition multimedia interface), USB (universal serial bus) interface, SD (secure digital) card interface, or audio interface.
[0019] The connection terminal 178 may include a connector through which the electronic device 101 can be physically connected to an external electronic device (e.g., electronic device 102). According to one embodiment, the connection terminal 178 may include, for example, an HDMI® connector, a USB connector, an SD card connector, or an audio connector (e.g., a headphone connector).

[0022] The power management module 188 can manage the power supplied to the electronic device 101. According to one embodiment, the power management module 188 can be implemented, for example, as at least part of a PMIC (power management integrated circuit).
[0023] The battery 189 can supply power to at least one component of the electronic device 101. According to one embodiment, the battery 189 may include, for example, a non-rechargeable primary battery, a rechargeable secondary battery, or a fuel cell.
[0024] The communication module 190 can support the establishment of a direct (e.g., wired) or wireless communication channel between the electronic device 101 and an external electronic device (e.g., electronic device 102, electronic device 104, or server 108), and the execution of communication over the established communication channel. The communication module 190 operates independently of the processor 120 (e.g., the application processor) and may include one or more communication processors that support direct (e.g., wired) or wireless communication. According to one embodiment, the communication module 190 may include a wireless communication module 192 (e.g., a cellular communication module, a near-field wireless communication module, or a GNSS (global navigation satellite system) communication module) or a wired communication module 194 (e.g., a LAN (local area network) communication module, or a power line communication module). Of these communication modules, the corresponding communication module can communicate with an external electronic device 104 via a first network 198 (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) Direct, or IrDA (Infrared Data Association)) or a second network 199 (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a legacy cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., LAN or WAN)). Some of these types of communication modules may be integrated into a single component (e.g., a single chip) or implemented in multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module 192 can verify or authenticate the electronic device 101 within a communication network such as the first network 198 or the second network 199 using subscriber information (e.g., International Mobile Subscriber Identifier (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module 196.
[0025] The wireless communication module 192 can support 5G networks following 4G networks and next-generation communication technologies, such as NR connection technology (new radio access technology). NR connection technology can support high-speed transmission of high-capacity data (eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband)), minimization of terminal power and connection of multiple terminals (mMTC (massive machine type communications)), or high reliability and low latency (URLLC (ultra-reliable and low-latency communications)). For example, the wireless communication module 192 can support high-frequency bands (e.g., mmWave bands) to achieve high data rates. The wireless communication module 192 can support various technologies to ensure performance in high-frequency bands, such as beamforming, massive array multiplexing and multiple-output (massive MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output)), full-dimensional multiplexing and multiplexing (FD-MIMO (full-dimensional MIMO)), array antennas, analog beamforming, or large-scale antennas. The wireless communication module 192 can support various requirements specified by the electronic device 101, external electronic devices (e.g., electronic device 104), or network system (e.g., second network 199). According to one embodiment, the wireless communication module 192 can support a peak data rate (e.g., 20 Gbps or more) for eMBB realization, loss coverage (e.g., 164 dB or less) for mMTC realization, or U-plane latency (e.g., downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) each of 0.5 ms or less, or round trip of 1 ms or less) for URLLC realization.
[0026] The antenna module 197 may transmit or receive signals or power to an external device (e.g., an external electronic device). According to one embodiment, the antenna module 197 may include an antenna comprising a radiator consisting of a conductor or conductive pattern formed on a substrate (e.g., a PCB). According to one embodiment, the antenna module 197 may include a plurality of antennas (e.g., an array antenna). In this case, at least one antenna suitable for a communication scheme used in a communication network, such as a first network 198 or a second network 199, can be selected from the plurality of antennas, for example, by a communication module 190. Signals or power can be transmitted or received between the communication module 190 and an external electronic device via the selected at least one antenna. According to one embodiment, in addition to the radiator, other components (e.g., an RFIC (radio frequency integrated circuit)) may be further formed as part of the antenna module 197.
[0027] According to one embodiment, the antenna module 197 can form an mmWave antenna module. According to one embodiment, the mmWave antenna module may include a printed circuit board, an RFIC disposed on or adjacent to one side of the printed circuit board (e.g., the bottom surface) and capable of supporting a specified high-frequency band (e.g., the mmWave band), and a plurality of antennas (e.g., array antennas) disposed on or adjacent to another side of the printed circuit board (e.g., the top or side surface) and capable of transmitting or receiving signals in the specified high-frequency band.
[0028] At least some of the aforementioned components are connected to each other via a peripheral device communication method (e.g., bus, GPIO (general purpose input and output), SPI (serial peripheral interface), or MIPI (mobile industry processor interface)) and can exchange signals (e.g., instructions or data) with each other.
[0029] According to one embodiment, commands or data can be transmitted to or received between the electronic device 101 and an external electronic device 104 via a server 108 connected to a second network 199. The external electronic devices 102 or 104 may be the same type of device as or different from the electronic device 101. According to one embodiment, all or part of the operations performed by the electronic device 101 can be performed by one or more of the external electronic devices 102, 104, or 108. For example, if the electronic device 101 needs to perform some function or service automatically or in response to a request from a user or another device, the electronic device 101 may, instead of performing the function or service itself, or additionally, request one or more external electronic devices to perform at least part of that function or service. One or more external electronic devices that receive the request may perform at least part of the requested function or service, or additional functions or services related to the request, and communicate the results of the execution to the electronic device 101. The electronic device 101 can provide the results as they are, or with additional processing, as at least part of the response to the request. For this purpose, for example, cloud computing, distributed computing, mobile edge computing (MEC), or client-server computing technology can be used. The electronic device 101 can provide ultra-low latency services, for example, using distributed computing or mobile edge computing. According to one embodiment, the external electronic device 104 may include IoT (Internet of Things) devices. The server 108 may be an intelligent server using machine learning and / or neural networks. According to one embodiment, the external electronic device 104 or the server 108 may be included in the second network 199. The electronic device 101 can be applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart homes, smart cities, smart cars, or healthcare) based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technologies.

Here, "the screen display area 201A includes the sensing area 201B" can be understood as at least a portion of the sensing area 201B being overlapped with the screen display area 201A. For example, the sensing area 201B may mean an area that, like other areas of the screen display area 201A, can display visual information by the display 201 and can also acquire the user's biometric information (e.g., fingerprints). According to one embodiment, the sensing area 201B may be formed in the key input device 217.

[0058] In the following sections, redundant explanations will be omitted for configurations that have the same reference numerals as those described above.
[0059] Referring to Figure 2b, an electronic device 101 according to one embodiment may include a display 201, a front plate 202, a back plate 211, a frame structure 240, a first printed circuit board 250, a second printed circuit board 252, a cover plate 260, and a battery 270 (for example, battery 189 in Figure 1).
[0060] According to one embodiment, the frame structure 240 may include a side bezel structure 218 that forms the exterior of the electronic device 101 (e.g., side 200C in Figure 2a) and a support structure 243 that extends inward from the side bezel structure 218.

For example, the battery 270 can be fixedly attached to the frame structure 240 via adhesive members (e.g., double-sided tape). However, the embodiment is not limited to the above examples.
[0063] According to one embodiment, the cover plate 260 may be placed between the first printed circuit board 250 and the back plate 211. According to one embodiment, the cover plate 260 may be placed on the first printed circuit board 250. For example, the cover plate 260 may be placed on the surface of the first printed circuit board 250 facing the -z direction.
[0064] According to one embodiment, the cover plate 260 can be at least partially superimposed on the first printed circuit board 250 with respect to the z-axis. According to one embodiment, the cover plate 260 can cover at least a portion of the first printed circuit board 250. This allows the cover plate 260 to protect the first printed circuit board 250 from physical impact or to prevent connectors coupled to the first printed circuit board 250 from becoming detached.
[0065] According to one embodiment, the cover plate 260 may be fixedly positioned on the first printed circuit board 250 via a connecting member (for example, a screw), or it may be coupled to the frame structure 240 together with the first printed circuit board 250 via the connecting member.
[0066] According to one embodiment, the display 201 may be positioned between the frame structure 240 and the front plate 202. For example, the front plate 202 may be positioned on one side of the display 201 (e.g., in the +z direction), and the frame structure 240 may be positioned on the other side (e.g., in the -z direction).
[0067] According to one embodiment, the front plate 202 can be coupled to the display 201. For example, the front plate 202 and the display 201 can be bonded to each other via an optical adhesive (e.g., optically clear adhesive (OCA) or optically clear resin (OCR)) interposed between them.
[0068] According to one embodiment, the front plate 202 can be coupled to the frame structure 240. For example, the front plate 202 may include an outer casing that extends outward from the display 201 when viewed in the z-axis direction, and may be bonded to the frame structure 240 via an adhesive member (e.g., double-sided tape) placed between the outer casing of the front plate 202 and the frame structure 240 (e.g., a side bezel structure 218). However, the invention is not limited to the examples described above.
[0069] According to one embodiment, the first printed circuit board 250 and / or the second printed circuit board 252 may be equipped with a processor (e.g., processor 120 in Figure 1), memory (e.g., memory 130 in Figure 1), and / or an interface (e.g., interface 177 in Figure 1).

The interface may allow the electronic device 101 to be electrically or physically connected to an external electronic device and may include a USB connector, an SD card / MMC (multimedia card) connector, or an audio connector. According to one embodiment, the first printed circuit board 250 and the second printed circuit board 252 can be operationally or electrically connected to each other via a connecting member (for example, a flexible printed circuit board).

For example, the battery 270 may include a rechargeable secondary battery or a fuel cell.

[0072] According to one embodiment, a first camera 205 (e.g., a front camera) may be positioned in at least a portion of the frame structure 240 (e.g., a support structure 243) such that the lens can receive external light through a portion of the front plate 202 (e.g., the front surface 200A in Figure 1) (e.g., a camera area 237).
[0073] According to one embodiment, a second camera 212 (e.g., a rear camera) may be positioned between the frame structure 240 and the rear plate 211. According to one embodiment, the second camera 212 may be electrically connected to the first printed circuit board 250 via a connecting member (e.g., a connector). According to one embodiment, the second camera 212 may be positioned so that its lens can receive external light through the camera area 284 of the rear plate 211 of the electronic device 101.
[0074] According to one embodiment, the camera region 284 may be formed on the surface of the back plate 211 (for example, the back surface 200B in Figure 1). According to one embodiment, the camera region 284 may be formed to be at least partially transparent so that external light can enter the lens of the second camera 212. According to one embodiment, at least a portion of the camera region 284 may protrude to a predetermined height from the surface of the back plate 211. However, without limiting this, in another embodiment, the camera region 284 may also form a plane substantially the same as the surface of the back plate 211.
[0075] According to one embodiment, the housing of the electronic device 101 (for example, the housing 210 in Figure 2a) can mean a configuration or structure that forms at least a part of the external appearance of the electronic device 101. In this regard, at least a part of the front plate 202, frame structure 240, and / or rear plate 211 that form the external appearance of the electronic device 101 can be referred to as the housing 210 of the electronic device 101.
[0076] Figure 3a is a partial cross-sectional view of an exemplary electronic device. Figure 3b shows a part of the exemplary electronic device. Figure 3c shows the shielding structure of the electronic components of the exemplary electronic device.
[0077] Referring to Figures 3a, 3b, and 3c, the electronic device 101 may include a printed circuit board 310 (for example, the first printed circuit board 250 and the second printed circuit board 252 in Figure 2b), electronic components 301, a shielding can 320, a shielding structure 330, a heat conductive member 340, a metal plate 350, and / or at least one heat dissipation member 360. Hereinafter, the combination of the metal plate 350 and at least one heat dissipation member 360 may be referred to as a heat dissipation structure. That is, the electronic device 101 may include a printed circuit board 310 (for example, the first printed circuit board 250 and the second printed circuit board 252 in Figure 2b), electronic components 301, a shielding can 320, a shielding structure 330, a heat conductive member 340, and a heat dissipation structure. The heat dissipation structure may include a metal plate 350 and / or at least one heat dissipation member 360.
[0078] According to one embodiment, the electronic component 301 may be coupled to a printed circuit board 310. For example, the electronic component 301 may be placed on the printed circuit board 310. For example, the electronic component 301 may be mounted on the printed circuit board 310. For example, the electronic component 301 may be electrically connected to the printed circuit board 310. For example, the electronic component 301 may be placed on one side of the printed circuit board 310 facing the display (e.g., the display 201 in Figure 2a). For convenience of explanation, the side on which the printed circuit board 310 is placed may be referred to as the upper surface of the printed circuit board 310. For example, the electronic component 301 may be powered via the printed circuit board 310 from the power management module (e.g., the power management module 188 in Figure 1) and / or battery (e.g., the battery 189 in Figure 1) of the electronic device 101.
[0079] For example, electronic component 301 may be referred to as the processor of the electronic device 101 (e.g., processor 120 in Figure 1). The electronic component 301 may dissipate heat during the operation of the electronic device 101. The electronic component 301 may emit electromagnetic waves while the electronic device 101 is operating. The electronic device 101 may be required to have a structure that reduces the effect of the heat and / or electromagnetic waves emitted from the electronic component 301 on causing other electronic components around the electronic component 301 to malfunction or degrade the performance of those other electronic components. While electronic component 301 has been described as being the processor 120 of the electronic device 101, it is not limited to this. The electronic component 301 may be referred to as a heating element within the electronic device 101 that is configured to dissipate heat or emit electromagnetic waves while the electronic device 101 is operating. That is, electronic component 301 may be any component that emits electromagnetic radiation and / or heat.
[0080] According to one embodiment, the shield can 320 may be placed on a printed circuit board 310. The shield can 320 may surround (or enclose) an electronic component 301. The shield can 320 may include an opening 325 facing the electronic component 301. That is, the shield can 320 may surround or enclose the electronic component 301, except for the opening 325. For example, the shield can 320 may be coupled to the printed circuit board 310. For example, the shield can 320 may be connected to the printed circuit board 310. For example, the shield can 320 may be attached to the printed circuit board 310. For example, the shield can 320 may be mounted on the printed circuit board 310 via at least one component (e.g., solder) between the shield can 320 and the printed circuit board 310. For example, the shield can 320 may be welded onto the printed circuit board 310.
[0081] For example, the shield can 320 may be placed on one side (e.g., the top surface) of the printed circuit board 310 on which the electronic component 301 is arranged. For example, the shield can 320 can shield at least a portion of the electronic component 301. For example, the shield can 320 can cover at least a portion of the electronic component 301. For example, the shield can 320 can surround at least a portion of the electronic component 301. For example, the shield can 320 can separate the electronic component 301 from other electronic components 302 surrounding the electronic component 301 that are mounted on the printed circuit board 310.
[0082] Although the shielding can 320 has been described as enclosing an electronic component 301, it is not limited to this. The shielding can 320 can enclose multiple electronic components, including the electronic component 301. By enclosing the multiple electronic components, the shielding can 320 can be distinguished from the multiple electronic components and separate multiple other electronic components, including other electronic components 302 surrounding the electronic component 301, from the multiple electronic components.
[0083] For example, the shielding can 320 may be connected to the ground within the electronic device 101. For example, the shielding can 320 may be electrically connected to the ground of the electronic device 101 via a printed circuit board 310. By being connected to the ground, the shielding can 320 can emit electromagnetic waves from the electronic component 301 to the ground. That is, electromagnetic waves (or noise) emitted from the electronic component 301 can be transmitted to the ground via the shielding can 320. By emitting the electromagnetic waves to the ground, the shielding can 320 can reduce the performance degradation of other electronic components 302 around the electronic component 301 due to the electromagnetic waves. That is, the shielding can 320 can prevent electromagnetic waves (or noise) emitted from the electronic component from reaching other electronic components 302.
[0084] For example, the opening 325 can penetrate the shield can 320. That is, the opening 325 may be an opening in the plane of the shield can 320 that is substantially parallel to the plane of the printed circuit board 310. For example, the opening 325 may face the printed circuit board 310. For example, the opening 325 may be formed in a portion of the shield can 320 that faces the electronic component 301. For example, the opening 325 may overlap the electronic component 301 when the printed circuit board 310 is viewed from above (for example, from the -z direction). That is, the opening 325 may overlap the electronic component 301 in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the printed circuit board 310. For example, the opening 325 can allow a heat conductive member 340 mounted on the electronic component 301 to pass through. That is, the heat conductive member 340 mounted on the electronic component 301 may be positioned and configured so that at least a portion of the heat conductive member 340 passes through the opening 325 in the shield can 320. For example, the opening 325 may be a pathway through which at least some of the heat emitted from the electronic component 301 is released via a heat conduction member 340 mounted on the electronic component 301. That is, the heat emitted from the electronic component 301 can be transferred to the outside of the space enclosed by the shielding can 320 via the heat conduction member 340 located in the opening 325. Because the shielding can 320 includes the opening 325 for releasing the heat from the electronic component 301, the shielding can 320 may require a structure for shielding electromagnetic waves emitted from the electronic component 301 and passing through the opening 325. That is, by including the opening 325 in the shielding can 320 to transfer heat to the outside of the space enclosed by the shielding can 320, the efficiency of the shielding can 320 in shielding other electronic components 302 from electromagnetic waves (or noise) emitted by the electronic component 301 may be reduced. Therefore, a shielding structure 330 may be further included.
[0085] According to one embodiment, the shielding structure 330 may be placed on the shielding can 320. The shielding structure 330 can cover the opening 325 of the shielding can 320. For example, the shielding structure 330 may be mounted on the shielding can 320. For example, the shielding structure 330 may be electrically connected to the shielding can 320. For example, at least a portion of the shielding structure 330 may be in contact with the shielding can 320. For example, the shielding structure 330 may be placed between the shielding can 320 and the metal plate 350.
[0086] For example, at least a portion of the shielding structure 330 may overlap with the opening 325 of the shielding can 320 when the shielding structure 330 is viewed from above (for example, from the -z direction). That is, at least a portion of the shielding structure 330 may overlap with the opening 325 in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the printed circuit board 310. For example, at least a portion of the shielding structure 330 may face the opening of the shielding can 320. For example, at least a portion of the shielding structure 330 may come into contact with the heat conductive member 340 that has passed through the opening of the shielding can 320. That is, one end (or surface) of the heat conductive member 340 may be attached to the electronic component 301, and the other end (or surface) on the opposite side may be attached to the electronic component 301 by passing through the opening 325. For example, at least a portion of the shielding structure 330 may face the electronic component 301 through the opening 325 of the shielding can 320. For example, at least a portion of the shielding structure 330 can face at least a portion of the printed circuit board 310 through the opening 325 of the shielding can 320. For example, the shielding structure 330 can seal the space between the shielding can 320 and the printed circuit board 310 by covering the opening 325 of the shielding can 320. That is, the coupling of the shielding can 320 and the shielding structure 330 can completely enclose the space around the electronic component 301. For example, the shielding structure 330 may contain a conductive material. By the shielding structure 330 covering the opening 325 of the shielding can 320, electromagnetic waves emitted from the electronic component 301 through the opening 325 can be reflected by the shielding structure 330 or transmitted through the shielding structure 330 to the shielding can 320 in contact with the shielding structure 330. The electromagnetic waves transmitted to the shield can 320 via the shielding structure 330 can be discharged to the ground of the electronic device 101 connected to the shield can 320. The electronic device 101, by including the shielding structure 330 covering the opening 325, can provide a heat transfer path for heat dissipation of the electronic component 301 and shield electromagnetic waves passing through the opening 325.
[0087] According to one embodiment, the heat conduction member 340 can be mounted on an electronic component 301. The heat conduction member 340 can be positioned between the electronic component 301 and a shielding structure 330. The heat conduction member 340 can be in contact with the shielding structure 330 through an opening 325 in the shielding can 320. For example, the heat conduction member 340 can be mounted on an electronic component 301. For example, the heat conduction member 340 can be in contact with the electronic component 301 and the shielding structure 330. For example, the heat conduction member 340 can transfer at least a portion of the heat emitted from the electronic component 301 to the shielding structure 330. For example, the heat conduction member 340 can transfer at least a portion of the heat emitted from the electronic component 301 to the shielding structure 330 and / or metal plate 350 on the heat conduction member 340 via conduction heat transfer. For example, the heat conduction member 340 can be supported by the electronic component 301. For example, the heat conductive member 340 can be fastened between the shielding structure 330 and the electronic component 301 by being attached to the shielding structure 330.
[0088] For example, the heat conduction member 340 can penetrate at least a portion of the opening 325 of the shield can 320. For example, the heat conduction member 340 can be attached to a shielding structure 330 that covers the opening 325 by passing through the opening 325. For example, the heat conduction member 340 can provide a path for heat emitted from the electronic component 301 to be transferred to the shielding structure 330 through the opening 325. For example, the heat conduction member 340 can extend from the electronic component 301 through the opening 325 to the shielding structure 330. For example, the heat conduction member 340 can include a material having relatively high thermal conductivity. The heat conduction member 340 can be referred to as a TIM (thermal interface material) in that it interposes between the electronic component 301 and the shielding structure 330, but is not limited thereto. The electronic device 101 includes a heat conductive member 340 configured to dissipate at least a portion of the heat emitted from the electronic component 301 through the opening 325 of the shield can 320 to the shielding structure 330 and / or metal plate 350, thereby reducing the performance degradation of the electronic component 301 surrounded by the shield can 320 due to the heat emitted from the electronic component 301.
[0089] According to one embodiment, the heat dissipation structure may be arranged on the shielding structure 330. For example, a metal plate 350 or at least one heat dissipation member 360 may be arranged on the shielding structure 330 (for example, in the z-axis direction). For example, the metal plate 350 may be attached to the shielding structure 330. For example, the metal plate 350 may be attached to the shielding can 320 via the shielding structure 330. For example, the metal plate 350 can support the shielding structure 330. For example, the metal plate 350 can support the shielding can 320 via the shielding structure 330. For example, by supporting the shielding structure 330 and / or the shielding can 320, the metal plate 350 can support the printed circuit board 310 and / or electronic component 301 on which the shielding can 320 is arranged. For example, the metal plate 350 can transfer at least a portion of the heat emitted from the electronic component 301 via the heat conduction member 340 and the shielding structure 330. The metal plate 350 can reduce the performance degradation of the electronic component 301 and / or the display 201 on the metal plate 350 due to the heat by diffusing at least a portion of the transferred heat. According to one embodiment, the metal plate 350 may be referred to as a structure (e.g., support structure 243 in Figure 2b) that forms at least a portion of a frame structure (e.g., frame structure 240 in Figure 2b) for supporting the display 201 of the electronic device 101. For example, referring together with Figure 2b, the metal plate 350 may be a structure (e.g., cover plate 260) that supports the back plate 211 on the opposite side of the display 201. The electronic component 301, shield can 320, and shielding structure 330 may be arranged on one side of the printed circuit board 310 facing the back plate 211. Heat released from the electronic component 301 may be transferred to the metal plate 350 supporting the back plate 211 via the heat conduction member 340 and the shielding structure 330.
[0090] For example, the metal plate 350 may include a first surface 351 facing the shield can 320 and a second surface 352 opposite to the first surface 351. For example, the second surface 352 may be the surface facing the display 201 of the electronic device 101. For example, the first surface 351 may be the surface that pressurizes the shielding structure 330 toward the shield can 320. By including the metal plate 350, the electronic device 101 can reduce the detachment of the shielding structure 330 from the shield can 320 and reduce the degradation of the performance of the electronic component 301 and / or the display 201 due to heat emitted from the electronic component 301.
[0091] According to one embodiment, at least one heat dissipation member 360 can be attached to the metal plate 350. The at least one heat dissipation member 360 can be configured to transfer at least a portion of the heat emitted from the electronic component 301 via the heat conduction member 340. For example, the at least one heat dissipation member 360 can cover at least a portion of the metal plate 350. For example, the at least one heat dissipation member 360 can be in contact with the metal plate 350. For example, the at least one heat dissipation member 360 can be attached to the second surface 352 of the metal plate 350. By dissipating at least a portion of the heat emitted from the electronic component 301 together with the metal plate 350, the at least one heat dissipation member 360 can reduce the performance degradation of the display 201 on the electronic component 301 and / or the at least one heat dissipation member 360 due to the heat.
[0092] According to one embodiment, the electronic device 101 may further include a thermal insulation member 370. The thermal insulation member 370 may be attached to a metal plate 350. The thermal insulation member 370 may be superimposed on the electronic component 301 when the metal plate 350 is viewed from above (for example, from the -z direction). That is, the thermal insulation member 370 may be superimposed on the electronic component 301 in a first direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the printed circuit board 310. For example, the thermal insulation member 370 may be placed on the electronic component 301. For example, by including the thermal insulation member 370, which is placed on the electronic component 301 and has relatively low thermal conductivity, the electronic device 101 can reduce the degradation of the performance of the display 201, which is placed on the metal plate 350, due to heat emitted from the electronic component 301. According to one embodiment, the thermal insulation member 370 may be surrounded by at least one heat dissipation member 360. The at least one heat dissipation member 360 and the heat insulating member 370 for dissipating heat emitted from the electronic component 301 and for heat insulation will be described later in Figures 4a to 6.
[0093] According to one embodiment, the shielding structure 330 may include a first shielding member 331, a second shielding member 332, a first adhesive member 333, and a second adhesive member 334. The first shielding member 331 may be mounted on the shielding can 320. The first adhesive member 333 may be interposed between the first shielding member 331 and the shielding can 320 in order to mount the first shielding member 331 to the shielding can 320. The second shielding member 332 may be mounted on the first shielding member 331. The second adhesive member 334 may be interposed between the first shielding member 331 and the second shielding member 332 in order to mount the second shielding member 332 to the first shielding member 331. In one embodiment, the density d1 of the first shielding member 331 may be less than the density d2 of the second shielding member 332.
[0094] For example, the first shielding member 331 may be positioned between the shield can 320 and the second shielding member 332. For example, the first shielding member 331 may be interposed between the shield can 320 and the second shielding member 332. For example, the first shielding member 331 may be attached to the shield can 320 via the first adhesive member 333. For example, the first shielding member 331 may be fastened to the shield can 320 by the first adhesive member 333. For example, as shown in Figure 3c, the first shielding member 331 may include a third surface 331a facing the shield can 320 and a fourth surface 331b opposite to the third surface 331a. The third surface 331a may be in contact with the first adhesive member 333. The fourth surface 331b may be in contact with the second adhesive member 334. For example, the third surface 331a of the first shielding member 331 may be covered (or partially covered) by the first adhesive member 333. The fourth surface 331b opposite to the third surface 331a may be covered (or partially covered) by the second adhesive member 334. For example, the first adhesive member 333 may be applied to the third surface 331a of the first shielding member 331. The second adhesive member 334 may be applied to the fourth surface 331b opposite to the third surface 331a.
[0095] For example, the second shielding member 332 may be positioned between the first shielding member 331 and the metal plate 350. For example, the second shielding member 332 may be attached to the first shielding member 331 via a second adhesive member 334. For example, the second shielding member 332 may be fixed to the first shielding member 331 via a second adhesive member 334.
[0096] For example, the shielding members 331 and 332 may contain conductive material. By including conductive material in the shielding members 331 and 332, the shielding structure 330 may be configured to discharge electromagnetic waves emitted from the electronic component 301 through the opening 325 of the shielding can 320 to the ground of the electronic device 101 via the shielding can 320 attached to the shielding structure 330. That is, electromagnetic radiation (or noise) emitted from the electronic component 301 to the opening 325 can be transmitted to ground via the connection between the shielding structure 330 and the shielding can 320.
[0097] For example, the shielding members 331 and 332 may contain voids. For example, the porosity of the first shielding member 331 may be greater than that of the second shielding member 332. For example, the yarn thickness of the first shielding member 331 may be less than that of the second shielding member 332. For example, the air permeability of the first shielding member 331 may be greater than that of the second shielding member 332. However, it is not limited thereto. The density d1 of the first shielding member 331 being less than the density d2 of the second shielding member 332 can provide space within the first shielding member 331 for adhesive material from the first adhesive member 333 and the second adhesive member 334 that are in contact with the first shielding member 331.
[0098] According to one embodiment, the first shielding member 331 may include a first region 331c containing adhesive material from a first adhesive member 333 and a second region 331d containing adhesive material from a second adhesive member 334. At least a portion of the fourth surface 331b of the first shielding member 331 facing the second shielding member 332 may be in contact with the second shielding member 332.
[0099] For example, the first shielding member 331 may include voids within the first shielding member 331. For example, the first adhesive member 333 may be pressurized toward the first shielding member 331 by the shield can 320. At least a portion of the adhesive material of the first adhesive member 333 may flow into the voids within the first shielding member 331 through the third surface 331a of the first shielding member 331 due to the pressurization by the shield can 320. The first region 331c of the first shielding member 331 may be a region containing the adhesive material that has flowed from the first adhesive member 333 into the first shielding member 331. For example, the second adhesive member 334 may be pressurized toward the first shielding member 331 by the metal plate 350. At least a portion of the adhesive material of the second adhesive member 334 may flow into the void within the first shielding member 331 via the fourth surface 331b of the first shielding member 331 due to the pressing by the metal plate 350. The second region 331d of the first shielding member 331 may be a region containing the adhesive material that has flowed from the second adhesive member 334 into the first shielding member 331.
[0100] For example, the fourth surface 331b of the first shielding member 331 and / or the surface of the second shielding member 332 may be configured such that at least a portion of the fourth surface 331b of the first shielding member 331 is in direct contact with the surface of the second shielding member 332. For example, at least a portion of the adhesive material of the second adhesive member 334 may flow into the second region 331d via the fourth surface 331b of the first shielding member 331 (e.g., through the gap in the fourth surface 331b) so that at least a portion of the fourth surface 331b toward the second shielding member 332 is in contact with the second shielding member 332. For example, the shielding structure 330 may include points P1, P2, P3 where the fourth surface 331b of the first shielding member 331 is in contact with the second shielding member 332. The shielding structure 330 can increase its shielding performance for shielding electromagnetic waves emitted from the electronic component 301 through the opening of the shield can 320 by having at least a portion of the fourth surface 331b in contact with the second shielding member 332.
[0101] The shielding structure 330 has been described as including, but is not limited to, points P1, P2, and P3 where the fourth surface 331b contacts the second shielding member 332. The shielding structure 330 may include other points where the third surface 331a opposite to the fourth surface 331b contacts the shield can 320. For example, the third surface 331a of the first shielding member 331 and / or the surface of the shield can 320 may be configured such that at least a portion of the third surface 331a of the first shielding member 331 directly contacts the surface of the shield can 320. For example, at least a portion of the adhesive material of the first adhesive member 333 may flow into the first region 331c via the third surface 331a of the first shielding member 331 (e.g., through the gap in the third surface 331a) so that at least a portion of the third surface 331a toward the shield can 320 can come into contact with the shield can 320. The shielding structure 330 can increase its shielding performance for shielding electromagnetic waves emitted from the electronic component 301 through the opening of the shielding can 320 by having at least a portion of the third surface 331a in contact with the shielding can 320. The shielding structure 330 can increase the structural stability of structures on the shielding structure 330 (e.g., metal plate 350 and / or display 201) by including regions 331c, 331d configured to contain adhesive material.
[0102] According to one embodiment, the thickness t1 of the first shielding member 331 may be located within the range of approximately 70 μm to 80 μm. The thickness t2 of the second shielding member 332 may be located within the range of approximately 10 μm to 20 μm. By having the thickness t1 of the first shielding member 331 located within the range of approximately 70 μm to 80 μm, and the thickness t2 of the second shielding member 332 located within the range of approximately 10 μm to 20 μm, the shielding structure 330 can increase its shielding performance for shielding the electronic component 301 and enhance the structural stability of the structure on the shielding structure 330 (e.g., the metal plate 350 and / or the display 201).
[0103] According to one embodiment, the thickness t3 of the first adhesive member 333 and the first thickness t4 and second thickness t5 of the second adhesive member 334 can each be located within a range of approximately 1 μm to 15 μm. For example, since at least a portion of the second adhesive member 334 is in contact with the heat conductive member 340 through the groove 330a of the shielding structure 330, the first thickness t4 of the portion of the second adhesive member 334 that is located between the first shielding member 331 and the second shielding member 332 may be smaller than the second thickness t5 of the portion that is located between the second shielding member 332 and the heat conductive member 340. The second thickness t5 can be located within a range of approximately 1 μm to 15 μm. By having the thickness t3 of the first adhesive member 333 and the first thickness t4 and second thickness t5 of the second adhesive member 334 each located within a range of approximately 1 μm to 15 μm, the shielding structure 330 can increase the shielding performance of the shielding structure 330 for shielding the electronic component 301 and enhance the structural stability of the structure on the shielding structure 330 (for example, the metal plate 350 and / or the display 201).
[0104] According to one embodiment, the heat conductive member 340 may include at least one of rubber, paraffin wax, and oil. By including at least one of rubber, paraffin wax, and oil in the heat conductive member 340, the heat conductive member 340 can reduce the repulsive force against a structure on the heat conductive member 340 that pressurizes the heat conductive member 340 (e.g., a shielding structure 330, a metal plate 350, or a display 201). By reducing the repulsive force against the structure, the heat conductive member 340 can enhance the structural safety of the structure.
[0105] According to one embodiment, the shielding structure 330 may further include a groove 330a recessed from the opening 325 toward the metal plate 350 to accommodate a heat conduction member 340 that penetrates at least a portion of the opening 325. That is, the shielding structure 330 may include an indented portion on the surface facing the heat conduction member 340 to accommodate a portion of the heat conduction member 340. For example, the groove 330a may extend from the opening 325 to accommodate at least a portion of the heat conduction member 340 that penetrates the opening 325 of the shielding can 320. The groove 330a may be connected to the opening 325. For example, the depth of the groove 330a may be substantially the same as the length of the heat conduction member 340 that protrudes from the opening 325 toward the shielding structure 330 for mounting the heat conduction member 340 to the shielding structure 330. For example, the edge of the groove 330a may be aligned with the edge of the opening 325. For example, the inner surface of the groove 330a can be in contact with the heat conductive member 340. By including the groove 330a, the shielding structure 330 can provide space for the heat conductive member 340 protruding through the opening 325 of the shield can 320.
[0106] According to one embodiment, the first shielding member 331 can surround at least a portion of the heat conductive member 340 that has passed through the opening 325. The second shielding member 332 can be attached to the heat conductive member 340 via a second adhesive member 334. For example, the first shielding member 331 can surround the heat conductive member 340 that protrudes from the opening 325 toward the shielding structure 330. For example, at least a portion of the first shielding member 331 can face a portion of the heat conductive member 340 that has passed through the opening 325. For example, the second shielding member 332 can cover the opening 325. By covering the opening 325, the second shielding member 332 can shield the space surrounded by the printed circuit board 310, the shield can 320, and the shielding structure 330. The second shielding member 332 can be attached to the heat conductive member 340 that has passed through the opening 325 via the second adhesive member 334.
[0107] For example, a groove 330a for accommodating a heat conduction member 340 protruding from the shield can 320 through the opening 325 may be formed by a first shielding member 331, a first adhesive member 333, and a second adhesive member 334 of the shielding structure 330. For example, the groove 330a may be formed by the first shielding member 331 and the first adhesive member 333. The first shielding member 331 and the first adhesive member 333 can surround the heat conduction member 340 that has passed through the opening 325. The second adhesive member 334 can come into contact with the heat conduction member 340 by covering the heat conduction member 340 that has passed through the opening 325. By coming into contact with the heat conduction member 340, the second adhesive member 334 can attach the heat conduction member 340 to the second shielding member 332. The heat conductive member 340 may be configured to transfer at least a portion of the heat emitted from the electronic component 301 to the shielding structure 330 by being in contact with the shielding structure 330.
[0108] According to one embodiment, the shielding structure 330 may further include a protective member 335. For example, the protective member 335 may be positioned on a surface of the shielding structure 330 opposite to the surface of the shielding structure 330 that is in contact with the heat conductive member 340. The protective member 335 may be positioned on the second shielding member 332. For example, the protective member 335 may be laminated on the second shielding member 332. For example, the protective member 335 may be laminated onto the second shielding member 332. For example, the protective member 335 may be attached on the second shielding member 332. For example, the protective member 335 may be positioned on a surface of the second shielding member 332 opposite to the surface of the second shielding member 332 that is in contact with the second adhesive member 334. For example, the protective member 335 may be interposed between the second shielding member 332 and the metal plate 350. For example, the protective member 335 may, but is not limited to, polyurethane. By including the protective member 335, the shielding structure 330 can reduce the degradation of its performance caused by structures on the shielding structure 330 (e.g., metal plate 350).
[0109] The electronic device 101 according to the above-described embodiment can reduce the performance degradation of other electronic components (e.g., other electronic components 302) around the electronic component 301 due to electromagnetic waves emitted from the electronic component 301 by including a shielding can 320. The electronic device 101 can reduce the performance degradation of the electronic component 301 due to heat emitted from the electronic component 301 by including a heat conductive member 340 that passes through the opening 325 of the shielding can 320 and is attached to the electronic component 301. The electronic device 101 can reduce the performance degradation of other electronic components around the electronic component 301 due to electromagnetic waves emitted from the electronic component 301 through the opening 325 by including a shielding structure 330 that covers the opening 325. The shielding structure 330 can improve the shielding performance of the shielding structure 330 for electromagnetic waves emitted from the electronic component 301 through the opening 325, by having a density d1 of the first shielding member 331 attached to the shield can 320 that is lower than the density d2 of the second shielding member 332 attached on the first shielding member 331. The electronic device 101 can reduce the degradation of the performance of the electronic device 101 due to heat emitted from the electronic component 301 by including a metal plate 350 disposed on the shielding structure 330 and at least one heat dissipation member 360.
[0110] Figures 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, and 4e are partial cross-sectional views of an exemplary electronic device.
[0111] Referring to Figures 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, and 4e, the electronic device 101 may include a printed circuit board 310 (for example, a first printed circuit board 250 and a second printed circuit board 252 in Figure 2b), an electronic component 301 coupled on the printed circuit board 310, and a shield can 320 on the printed circuit board 310 that surrounds the electronic component 301 and includes an opening 325 facing the electronic component 301. The electronic device 101 may also include a shielding structure 330 on the shield can 320 that covers the opening 325, and a heat conductive member 340 mounted on the electronic component 301 and in contact with the shielding structure 330 via the opening 325 between the electronic component 301 and the shielding structure 430. The electronic device 101 may include a metal plate 350 on the shielding structure 330, and at least one heat dissipation member 360 attached to the metal plate 350 and configured to transfer at least a portion of the heat emitted from the electronic components via the heat conductive member 340. In one embodiment, the shielding structure 330 may include a first shielding member 331 mounted on the shield can 320, a first adhesive member (for example, the first adhesive member 333 in Figure 3c) interposed between the first shielding member 331 and the shield can 320 for attaching the first shielding member 331 to the shield can 320, a second shielding member 332 mounted on the first shielding member 331, and a second adhesive member (for example, the second adhesive member 334 in Figure 3c) interposed between the first shielding member 331 and the second shielding member 332 for attaching the second shielding member 332 to the first shielding member 331. For example, the density d1 of the first shielding member 331 may be less than the density d2 of the second shielding member 332. According to one embodiment, the shielding structure 330 may further include a groove 330a recessed from the opening 325 toward the metal plate 350 in order to accommodate the heat conductive member 340 that penetrates at least a portion of the opening 325.
[0112] In the following, redundant explanations of the configurations described in Figures 3a to 3c will be omitted. The features above described in Figures 3a to 3c (for example, the protective member 335, the first region 331c, the second region 331d, etc.) can be combined with embodiments described later, even if they are not shown in Figures 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, and 4e.
[0113] According to one embodiment, the metal plate 350 may include a heat dissipation portion 350a positioned above the electronic component 301. For example, the heat dissipation portion 350a may overlap the electronic component 301 when the metal plate 350 is viewed from above (for example, from the -z direction). For example, the heat dissipation portion 350a may be configured to overlap at least a portion of the electronic component 301 in a first direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the printed circuit board 310. For example, the heat dissipation portion 350a may be located on a heat conductive member 340. For example, the heat dissipation portion 350a may overlap the opening 325 of the shield can 320 when the metal plate 350 is viewed from above (for example, from the -y direction). For example, the heat dissipation portion 350a may be located on a portion of a shielding structure 330 that covers the opening 325 of the shield can 320. In order to reduce the performance degradation of the electronic device 101 due to heat emitted from the electronic component 301, the electronic device 101 may require a structure for dissipating the heat transferred from the electronic component 301 to the heat dissipation portion 350a of the metal plate 350 via the heat conductive member 340 and the shielding structure 330.
[0114] According to one embodiment, the at least one heat dissipation member 360 may include at least one of a vapor chamber, a heat pipe, graphite, and graphene. By including at least one of the vapor chamber, heat pipe, graphite, and graphene in the at least one heat dissipation member 360 attached to the metal plate 350, the at least one heat dissipation member 360 can dissipate the heat transferred from the electronic component 301 to the metal plate 350. By dissipating the heat, the at least one heat dissipation member 360 can reduce the performance degradation of the electronic device 101 due to the heat.
[0115] Referring to Figures 4a, 4b, and 4c, the metal plate 350 may include recesses or through-holes, the recesses or through-holes may be configured to at least partially overlap the electronic component 301 and the upper surface of the printed circuit board 310 in a first direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the printed circuit board 310. At least one heat dissipation member 360 may be placed within the recesses or through-holes. For example, a groove may be formed on the first surface 351 of the metal plate 350 facing the shield can 320, or a groove may be formed on the second surface 352 of the metal plate 350 opposite to the first surface 351. For example, a through-hole may extend from the first surface 351 of the metal plate 350 to the second surface 352 of the metal plate 350.
[0116] Referring to Figure 4a, in one embodiment, the metal plate 350 may include a recess 355 extending toward the heat conduction member 340 from a second surface 352 of the metal plate 350, opposite to the first surface 351 facing the shield can 320. That is, the metal plate 350 may include a recessed portion on the second surface 352 (i.e., the surface opposite to the surface facing the shielding structure 330). At least one heat dissipation member 360 may be placed within the recess 355 so that it is superimposed on the electronic component 301 when the metal plate 350 is viewed from above (for example, from the -z direction).
[0117] For example, the recess 355 may be recessed from the second surface 352 of the metal plate 350 toward the first surface 351 opposite to the second surface 352. For example, the recess 355 may overlap with the electronic component 301 when the metal plate 350 is viewed from above (for example, from the -z direction). For example, the recess 355 may be configured to overlap with the electronic component 301 at least partially in a first direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the printed circuit board 310. For example, the recess 355 may be formed within the heat dissipation portion 350a of the metal plate 350. For example, the recess 355 may be positioned to overlap with the heat conduction member 340. For example, the recess 355 can accommodate at least one heat dissipation member 360. For example, at least one heat dissipation member 360 may be mounted on the heat conduction member 340 by being positioned within the recess 355. The metal plate 350 includes a recess 355 for accommodating at least one heat dissipation member 360, thereby reducing the performance degradation of the electronic device 101 due to heat emitted from the electronic component 301.
[0118] According to one embodiment, the electronic device 101 may further include other heat conductive members 410, distinct from the heat conductive member 340, which is positioned in a recess 355 of the metal plate 350 toward the electronic component 301 and attached to the electronic component 301. For example, the other heat conductive member 410 may be positioned between the inner surface of the recess 355 and at least one heat dissipation member 360. By further including the other heat conductive member 410 in contact with the metal plate 350 and the at least one heat dissipation member 360, the electronic device 101 can reduce the performance degradation of the electronic device 101 due to heat emitted from the electronic component 301. According to one embodiment, the heat conductive member 340 attached to the electronic component 301 may have a pad shape. The other heat conductive member 410 positioned in the recess 355 may be positioned, unlike the heat conductive member 340, to be applied to at least a portion of the inner surface of the recess 355. However, it is not limited thereto.
[0119] According to one embodiment, the electronic device 101 may further include a thermal insulation member 370 covering a recess 355 in which at least one heat dissipation member 360 is located. The thermal insulation member 370 may be attached to the at least one heat dissipation member 360. For example, the thermal insulation member 370 may be supported by the at least one heat dissipation member 360. By including a thermal insulation structure covering the recess 355, the electronic device 101 can reduce the degradation of the performance of the display of the electronic device 101 (e.g., the display 201 in Figure 2a) located on the thermal insulation member 370 due to heat transferred from the electronic component 301 to the at least one heat conduction member 360 in the recess 355.
[0120] Referring to Figure 4b, in one embodiment, unlike in Figure 4a, the recess 355 of the metal plate 350 may be recessed from a first surface 351 facing the shield can 320 toward a second surface 352 opposite to the first surface 351. That is, the metal plate 350 may include a recessed portion toward the first surface 351 (i.e., the surface facing the shielding structure 330). At least one heat dissipation member 360 may be located within the recess 355. According to one embodiment, the electronic device 101 may further include other heat conduction members 410, which are located within the recess 355 and are distinguished from the heat conduction member 340 attached to the electronic component 301. The other heat conduction member 410 may be located between at least one heat dissipation member 360 and the shielding structure 330. The other heat conductive member 410, by contacting the shielding structure 330 and the at least one heat dissipation member 360, can reduce the performance degradation of the electronic device 101 due to heat emitted from the electronic component 301.
[0121] According to one embodiment, the thermal insulation member 370 may be mounted on a second surface 352 opposite to the first surface 351 on which the recess 355 is formed. The metal plate 350 may include other recesses that are recessed from the second surface 352 toward the first surface 351, for example, to accommodate the thermal insulation member 370. That is, the metal plate 350 may also include recessed portions on the second surface 352 (i.e., the surface opposite to the surface facing the shielding structure 330). For example, the thermal insulation member 370 may be superimposed on the recess 355 for accommodating at least one heat dissipation member 360 when viewed from above (e.g., from the -z direction). For example, the thermal insulation member 370 may be positioned above at least one heat dissipation member 360. By including the thermal insulation member 370 mounted on the second surface 352, the electronic device 101 can reduce the degradation of the performance of the electronic device 101 due to heat emitted from the electronic components 301.
[0122] Referring to Figure 4c, in one embodiment, unlike Figures 4a and 4b, the metal plate 350 may further include a through hole 356 formed within the heat dissipation portion 350a. For example, the through hole 356 may extend from a first surface 351 of the metal plate 350 facing the shield can 320 to a second surface 352 opposite to the first surface 351. For example, the through hole 356 may overlap with the electronic component 301 when the metal plate 350 is viewed from above (for example, from the -z direction). For example, the through hole 356 may be configured to overlap with the electronic component 301 at least partially in a first direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the printed circuit board 310.
[0123] According to one embodiment, at least one heat dissipation member 360 may be located inside the through-hole 356. The electronic device 101 may further include other heat conductive members 410, which are located inside the through-hole 356 and are distinct from the heat conductive member 340 attached to the electronic component 301. The other heat conductive member 410 may be located between at least one heat dissipation member 360 and the shielding structure 330.
[0124] According to one embodiment, the electronic device 101 may further include a heat insulating member 370 that covers the through hole 356. The heat insulating member 370 can be in contact with at least one heat dissipation member 360 disposed within the through hole 356. By including the heat insulating member 370 that covers the through hole 356, the electronic device 101 can reduce the performance degradation of the electronic device 101 due to heat emitted from the electronic component 301.
[0125] Referring to Figure 4d, in one embodiment, at least one heat dissipation member 360 may include a first heat dissipation member 361 that covers at least a portion of the second surface 352 of the metal plate 350, opposite to the first surface 351 of the metal plate 350 facing the shield can 320. For example, the electronic device 101 may further include an insulating member 370 disposed on the heat dissipation portion 350a of the metal plate 350 and at least a portion surrounded by the first heat dissipation member 361. For example, the first heat dissipation member 361 may be mounted on the second surface 352 of the metal plate 350. The insulating member 370 may be surrounded by the first heat dissipation member 361 mounted on the second surface 352 and disposed above the heat dissipation portion 350a of the metal plate 350. That is, the insulating member 370 may be configured such that at least a portion overlaps the heat dissipation portion 350a in a first direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the printed circuit board 310. The first heat dissipation member 361 can surround at least a portion of the heat insulating member 370. For example, the heat insulating member 370 can be in contact with the first heat dissipation member 361. For example, at least a portion of the first heat dissipation member 361 can be interposed between the heat insulating member 370 and the heat dissipation portion 350a of the metal plate 350. For example, the heat insulating member 370 can be attached to (or superimposed on) the heat dissipation portion 350a located on the electronic component 301 to reduce heat transfer from the electronic device 101 toward the heat dissipation portion 350a (e.g., in the +z direction). By reducing the heat transfer, the heat insulating member 370 can reduce the degradation of the performance of components of the electronic device 101 (e.g., the display 201) located on the heat insulating member 370. The electronic device 101 includes a first heat dissipation member 361 on the second surface 352 of the metal plate 350, and a heat insulating member 370 at least partially surrounded by the first heat dissipation member 361, thereby reducing the degradation of the performance of the electronic device 101 due to heat emitted from the electronic component 301.
[0126] According to one embodiment, at least one heat dissipation member 360 may further include a first heat dissipation member 361 and a second heat dissipation member 362 disposed on and covering the heat insulating member 370. For example, the second heat dissipation member 362 may cover the heat insulating member 370 and at least a portion of the first heat dissipation member 361. For example, the second heat dissipation member 362 may be in contact with the heat insulating member 370. By including the second heat dissipation member 362, the electronic device 101 can dissipate heat transferred from the electronic component 301 to the heat insulating member 370 and / or the first heat dissipation member 361 via the metal plate 350. By dissipating the heat, the second heat dissipation member 362 can reduce the performance degradation of the electronic device 101 due to the heat.
[0127] Referring to Figure 4e, at least one heat dissipation member 360 may further include a stepped structure 360a for housing an insulating member 370. For example, the insulating member 370 may be positioned on the stepped structure 360a. The stepped structure 360a may be formed above the heat dissipation portion 350a of the metal plate 350. The insulating member 370 may be superimposed on the heat dissipation portion 350a when the metal plate 350 is viewed from above (for example, from the -z direction). By including the stepped structure 360a, the at least one heat dissipation member 360 can provide space for the insulating member 370 to be positioned for heat released from the electronic component 301 to the heat dissipation portion 350a.
[0128] According to one embodiment, at least one heat dissipation member 360 may include a first heat dissipation member 361 and a second heat dissipation member 362 mounted on the first heat dissipation member 361 to form a stepped structure 360a. For example, the length of the second heat dissipation member 362 positioned on the first heat dissipation member 361 may be shorter than the length of the first heat dissipation member 361. By making the length of the second heat dissipation member 362 shorter than the length of the first heat dissipation member 361, at least one heat dissipation member 360 can provide a stepped structure 360a for which a heat insulating member 370 is positioned.
[0129] The electronic device 101 according to the above-described embodiment can reduce heat transfer from the electronic component 301 toward the heat dissipation portion 350a (for example, in the +z direction) by including a heat insulating member 370 placed on (or superimposed on) the heat dissipation portion 350a of the metal plate 350. The electronic device 101 can dissipate heat emitted from the electronic component 301 by including at least one heat dissipation member 360 around the heat insulating member 370. The electronic device 101 can reduce the performance degradation of the electronic device 101 due to heat emitted from the electronic component 301 by including the at least one heat dissipation member 360 and the heat insulating member 370.
[0130] Figures 5a and 5b are partial cross-sectional views of an exemplary electronic device.
[0131] Referring to Figures 5a and 5b, the electronic device 101 may include a printed circuit board 310 (for example, the first printed circuit board 250 and the second printed circuit board 252 in Figure 2b), an electronic component 301, a shielding can 320, a shielding structure 330, a heat conductive member 340, a metal plate 350, and at least one heat dissipation member 360. According to one embodiment, the metal plate 350 may include a heat dissipation portion 350a positioned above the electronic component 301. That is, the heat dissipation portion 350a may be configured such that at least a portion overlaps the electronic component 301 in a first direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the printed circuit board 310.
[0132] According to one embodiment, the heat dissipation member 360 may include at least one of a vapor chamber, a heat pipe, graphite, and graphene.
[0133] The following explanation will omit redundant descriptions of the configurations shown in Figures 3a to 3c. The features described above (e.g., protective member 335, first region 331c, second region 331d, etc.) related to Figures 3a to 3c are not shown in Figures 5a and 5b, but can be combined with embodiments described later.
[0134] Referring to Figure 5a, at least one heat dissipation member 360 may include a third heat dissipation member 363 attached to the shielding structure 330, covering at least a portion of the first surface 351 of the metal plate 350 facing the shield can 320. For example, the third heat dissipation member 363 may be positioned between the shielding structure 330 and the metal plate 350. For example, the third heat dissipation member 363 may be attached on the first surface 351 of the metal plate 350. The third heat dissipation member 363 can reduce the degradation of the performance of the electronic device 101 due to the heat transferred to the third heat dissipation member 363 by dissipating the heat transferred from the electronic component 301 to the third heat dissipation member 363 via the heat conduction member 340.
[0135] Referring to Figure 5b, the electronic device 101 may further include an insulating member 370 which is at least partially surrounded by a third heat dissipation member 363. The insulating member 370 may be attached to the heat dissipation portion 350a of the metal plate 350. At least one heat dissipation member 360 may further include the third heat dissipation member 363 and a fourth heat dissipation member 364 which is positioned on and covers the insulating member 370.
[0136] For example, the heat insulating member 370 may be placed on the first surface 351 of the metal plate 350 and attached to the heat dissipation portion 350a of the metal plate 350. The third heat dissipation member 363 may surround at least a portion of the heat insulating member 370. For example, the heat insulating member 370 may be in contact with the third heat dissipation member 363. For example, at least a portion of the third heat dissipation member 363 may be interposed between the heat insulating member 370 and the fourth heat dissipation member 364. For example, by attaching the heat insulating member 370 to the heat dissipation portion 350a placed on the electronic component 301, heat transfer from the electronic component 301 to the electronic device 101 in the direction toward the heat dissipation portion 350a (e.g., the +z direction) can be reduced. By reducing the heat transfer, the heat insulating member 370 can reduce the degradation of the performance of components of the electronic device 101 (e.g., the display 201) placed on the heat insulating member 370. The electronic device 101 includes a third heat dissipation member 363 on the first surface 351 of the metal plate 350, and a heat insulating member 370 at least partially surrounded by the third heat dissipation member 363, thereby reducing the degradation of the performance of the electronic device 101 due to heat emitted from the electronic component 301.
[0137] For example, the fourth heat dissipation member 364 can cover at least a portion of the third heat dissipation member 363. For example, although not shown, the fourth heat dissipation member 364 can be in contact with the heat insulating member 370 and the shielding structure 330. By including the fourth heat dissipation member 364, the electronic device 101 can dissipate the heat transferred from the electronic components 301 to the fourth heat dissipation member 364 via the shielding structure 330. By dissipating the heat, the fourth heat dissipation member 364 can reduce the performance degradation of the electronic device 101 due to the heat.
[0138] According to one embodiment, the third heat dissipation member 363 and the fourth heat dissipation member 364 may be formed integrally. The heat insulating member 370 may be surrounded by the heat dissipation member 360 on the integrally formed first surface 351. The heat insulating member 370 may be covered by a metal plate 350, but is not limited thereto. According to one embodiment, unlike that shown in Figure 5b, the fourth heat dissipation member 364 may be omitted. The third heat dissipation member 363 may be attached to the shielding structure 330.
[0139] The electronic device 101 according to the above-described embodiment can reduce heat transfer from the electronic component 301 toward the heat dissipation portion 350a (for example, in the +y direction) by including a heat insulating member 370 attached to the heat dissipation portion 350a of the metal plate 350. The electronic device 101 can dissipate heat emitted from the electronic component 301 by including at least one heat dissipation member 360 around the heat insulating member 370. The electronic device 101 can reduce the performance degradation of the electronic device 101 due to heat emitted from the electronic component 301 by including the at least one heat dissipation member 360 and the heat insulating member 370.
[0140] Figure 6 is a partial cross-sectional view of an exemplary electronic device.
[0141] Referring to Figure 6, the electronic device 101 may include a printed circuit board 310 (for example, the first printed circuit board 250 and the second printed circuit board 252 in Figure 2b), an electronic component 301, a shielding can 320, a shielding structure 330, a heat conductive member 340, a metal plate 350, and at least one heat dissipation member 360. According to one embodiment, the metal plate 350 may include a heat dissipation portion 350a that is placed on (or above) the electronic component 301. That is, the heat dissipation portion 350a may be configured such that at least a portion of it overlaps with the electronic component 301 in a first direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the printed circuit board 310. Hereinafter, redundant explanations of the configurations described in Figures 3a to 3c will be omitted. The features described above (for example, the protective member 335, the first region 331c, the second region 331d, etc.) related to Figures 3a to 3c can be combined with embodiments described later, even if they are not shown in Figure 6.
[0142] According to one embodiment, the heat dissipation member 360 may include at least one of a vapor chamber, a heat pipe, graphite, and graphene.
[0143] According to one embodiment, the heat insulating member 370 may include a first heat insulating member 371 and a second heat insulating member 372. At least one heat dissipation member 360 may include a first heat dissipation member 361, a second heat dissipation member 362, a third heat dissipation member 363, and / or a fourth heat dissipation member 364.
[0144] For example, the first heat insulating member 371 may be positioned on the second surface 352 of the metal plate 350 facing the display (for example, the display 201 in Figure 2a). For example, the first heat insulating member 371 may be positioned above the second surface 352. For example, the first heat insulating member 371 may be configured such that at least a portion of it overlaps with the electronic component 301 in a first direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the printed circuit board 310. At least a portion of the first heat insulating member 371 may be surrounded by the first heat dissipation member 361. For example, the first heat insulating member 371 may be attached to the heat dissipation portion 350a of the metal plate 350, although this is not shown. For example, at least a portion of the first heat dissipation member 361 may be interposed between the first heat insulating member 371 and the heat dissipation portion 350a. The second heat dissipation member 362 may be attached on the first heat dissipation member 361 and the first heat insulating member 371. The second heat dissipation member 362 may be positioned between the first heat dissipation member 361 and the display 201. The second heat dissipation member 362 may cover the first heat insulating member 371.
[0145] For example, the third heat dissipation member 363 may be positioned on the first surface 351 of the metal plate 350 facing the shield can 320. The second heat insulating member 372 may be positioned on the first surface 351. The second heat insulating member 372 may be at least partially surrounded by the third heat dissipation member 363. The second heat insulating member 372 may be attached to the heat dissipation portion 350a of the metal plate 350. The fourth heat dissipation member 364 may be attached on the third heat dissipation member 363 and the second heat insulating member 372. For example, at least a portion of the third heat dissipation member 363 may be interposed between the second heat insulating member 372 and the fourth heat dissipation member 364. The fourth heat dissipation member 364 may be positioned between the third heat dissipation member 363 and the shielding structure 330. The second heat insulating member 372 may be covered by the metal plate 350.
[0146] The electronic device 101 according to the above-described embodiment can reduce heat transfer from the electronic component 301 toward the heat dissipation portion 350a (for example, in the +y direction) by including a heat insulating member 370 disposed in the heat dissipation portion 350a of the metal plate 350. The electronic device 101 can dissipate heat emitted from the electronic component 301 by including at least one heat dissipation member 360 around the heat insulating member 370. The electronic device 101 can reduce the performance degradation of the electronic device 101 due to heat emitted from the electronic component 301 by including the at least one heat dissipation member 360 and the heat insulating member 370.
[0147] Figure 7 shows the lamination process for an exemplary shielding structure of an electronic device.
[0148] Referring to Figure 7, the electronic device (for example, the electronic device 101 in Figure 1) may include a printed circuit board 310 (for example, the first printed circuit board 250 and the second printed circuit board 252 in Figure 2b), an electronic component 301 coupled on the printed circuit board 310, and a shield can 320 on the printed circuit board 310 that surrounds the electronic component 301 and includes an opening 325 facing the electronic component 301. The electronic device 101 may also include a shielding structure 330 on the shield can 320 that covers the opening 325, and a heat conductive member 340 mounted on the electronic component 301 and in contact with the shielding structure 330 via the opening 325 between the electronic component 301 and the shielding structure 330. The shielding structure 330 may include a first shielding member 331 mounted on the shield can 320, a first adhesive member 333 interposed between the first shielding member 331 and the shield can 320 for attaching the first shielding member 331 to the shield can 320, a second shielding member 332 mounted on the first shielding member 331, and a second adhesive member 334 interposed between the first shielding member 331 and the second shielding member 332 for attaching the second shielding member 332 to the first shielding member 331. For example, the density d1 of the first shielding member 331 may be smaller than the density d2 of the second shielding member 332. According to one embodiment, the shielding structure 330 may further include a groove 330a recessed from the opening 325 toward the metal plate 350 in order to accommodate the heat conductive member 340 that penetrates at least a portion of the opening 325.
[0149] Referring to step 700a, the shielding structure 330 can be mounted on the shield can 320. The members 331, 332, 333, 334, and 335 within the shielding structure 330 can be laminated to each other within the shielding structure 330. For example, the first shielding member 331 can be laminated on the first adhesive member 333. The second adhesive member 334 can be laminated on the first shielding member 331. The second shielding member 332 can be laminated on the second adhesive member 334. The protective member 335 can be laminated on the second shielding member 332. The first shielding member 331 can be mounted on the shield can 320 by laminating it on the first adhesive member 333. The second shielding member 332 can be mounted on the first shielding member 331 by laminating it on the second adhesive member 334.
[0150] Referring to step 700b, the shielding structure 330 may be pressurized in the direction toward the printed circuit board 310 (e.g., the -z direction). The shielding structure 330 may be pressurized toward the shield can 320 by a metal plate (e.g., the metal plate 350 in Figure 3a). For example, since the first shielding member 331 contains a void, at least a portion of the first adhesive member 333 between the first shielding member 331 and the shield can 320 may flow into the void within the first shielding member 331 via the third surface 331a of the first shielding member 331 toward the shield can 320. The first region 331c of the first shielding member 331 may be formed by the inflow of adhesive material into the first shielding member 331 due to the pressurization applied from the first adhesive member 333 to the shielding structure 330. At least a portion of the third surface 331a of the first shielding member 331 can come into contact with the shield can 320. For example, since the first shielding member 331 contains voids and the density d1 of the first shielding member 331 is less than the density d2 of the second shielding member 332, at least a portion of the second adhesive member 334 between the first shielding member 331 and the second shielding member 332 can flow into the voids within the first shielding member 331 via the fourth surface 331b of the first shielding member 331 facing the second shielding member 332. The second region 331d of the first shielding member 331 can be formed by the inflow of adhesive material from the second adhesive member 334 into the first shielding member 331 due to pressure applied to the shielding structure 330. At least a portion of the fourth surface 331b of the first shielding member 331 can be in contact with the second shielding member 332. At least a portion of the second adhesive member 334 can be moved toward the printed circuit board 310 together with the second shielding member 332 by the pressure applied. The second adhesive member 340 that has moved toward the printed circuit board 310 can be attached to the heat conductive member 340. That is, the shielding structure 330 and the shield can 320 are pressed together, causing the second adhesive member 334 to come into contact with the heat conductive member 340, thereby allowing it to be attached to the heat conductive member 340.
[0151] In the embodiment described above, the shielding structure 330 enhances the shielding performance of the shielding structure 330 for electromagnetic waves emitted from the electronic component 301 through the opening 325, and enhances the structural stability of the structure on the shielding structure 330 (for example, the metal plate 350 and / or the display 201 in Figure 2a), because the density d1 of the first shielding member 331 attached to the shielding can 320 is lower than the density d2 of the second shielding member 332 attached on the first shielding member 331.

According to one embodiment, the second housing 820 can provide the space formed by the second front surface 821, the second rear surface 822, and the second side surface 823 surrounding at least a portion of the second front surface 821 and the second rear surface 822 as a space for mounting components of the electronic device 101. According to one embodiment, the second housing 820 may be rotatably coupled to the first housing 810.
[0156] According to one embodiment, each of the first housing 810 and the second housing 820 may include a first protective member 814 and a second protective member 824, respectively. The first protective member 814 and the second protective member 824 may be positioned on the first front 811 and the second front 821 along the periphery of the display 201. According to one embodiment, the first protective member 814 and the second protective member 824 can prevent foreign matter (e.g., dust or moisture) from entering through the gap between the display 201 and the first housing 810 and the second housing 820. For example, the first protective member 814 may surround the periphery of the first display area 831 of the display 201, and the second protective member 824 may surround the periphery of the second display area 832 of the display 201. The first protective member 814 may be attached to the first side surface 813 of the first housing 810, or it may be formed integrally with the first side surface 813.

For example, the second side 823 may include at least one conductive portion 825 and at least one non-conductive portion 826. The at least one conductive portion 825 may include a plurality of conductive portions spaced apart from each other. The at least one non-conductive portion 826 may be positioned between the plurality of conductive portions. The plurality of conductive portions may be separated from each other by the at least one non-conductive portion 826 positioned between the plurality of conductive portions. According to one embodiment, the plurality of conductive portions and the plurality of non-conductive portions may together form an antenna radiator. The electronic device 101 may be able to communicate with an external electronic device via the antenna radiator formed by the plurality of conductive portions and the plurality of non-conductive portions.
[0158] The display 201 may be configured to display visual information. According to one embodiment, the display 201 may be positioned across the hinge structure 850 on the first front 811 of the first housing 810 and the second front 821 of the second housing 820. For example, the display 201 may include a first display area 831 positioned on the first front 811 of the first housing, a second display area 832 positioned on the second front 821 of the second housing, and a third display area 833 positioned between the first and second display areas 831 and 832.

According to one embodiment, the display 201 may be placed on a metal plate (e.g., metal plate 350 in Figure 3a).
[0159] According to one embodiment, the second display area 832 may be separated from the first display area 831. The third display area 833 may connect the first display area 831 and the second display area 832 and be foldable with respect to a folding axis f. The first housing 810 can support the first display area 831. The second housing 820 can support the second display area 832.

The third camera 841 can acquire an image based on receiving light from outside the electronic device 101 through at least one aperture 841a.
[0161] According to one embodiment, a fourth camera 842 may be located in the second housing 820. For example, the fourth camera 842 may be located inside the second housing 820 and visible via a sub-display panel 835. The second housing 820 may include at least one aperture 842a that overlaps the fourth camera 842 when viewed from above on the second rear surface 822.

[0164] According to one embodiment, a hinge structure 850 can rotatably connect a first housing 810 and a second housing 820. The hinge structure 850 may be positioned between the first housing 810 and the second housing 820 of the electronic device 101 so that the electronic device 101 can be bent, flexed, or folded. For example, the hinge structure 850 may be positioned between a portion of a first side surface 813 and a portion of a second side surface 823 that are facing each other. The hinge structure 850 may be able to change the direction in which the electronic device 101 faces the first front surface 811 of the first housing 810 and the second front surface 821 of the second housing 820, so that they are substantially the same unfolding state or a folding state in which the first front surface 811 and the second front surface 821 face each other. When the electronic device 101 is in a folded state, the first housing 810 and the second housing 820 can be superimposed or overlapped by facing each other.
[0165] According to one embodiment, the hinge structure 850 may be configured to deform the third display area 833 of the display 201 by rotatably connecting the first housing 810 and the second housing 820.
[0166] According to one embodiment, when the electronic device 101 is in a folded state, the direction in which the first front surface 811 faces and the direction in which the second front surface 821 faces may be different from each other. For example, when the electronic device 101 is in a folded state, the direction in which the first front surface 811 faces and the direction in which the second front surface 821 faces may be opposite to each other. In another example, when the electronic device 101 is in a folded state, the direction in which the first front surface 811 faces and the direction in which the second front surface 821 faces may be inclined relative to each other. If the direction in which the first front surface 811 faces is inclined relative to the direction in which the second front surface 821 faces, the first housing 810 may be inclined relative to the second housing 820. However, it is not limited thereto. For example, in the folded state of the electronic device 101, the first rear surface 812 of the first housing 810 may face the second rear surface 822 of the second housing 820. When the first rear panel 812 and the second rear panel 822 face each other in the folded state of the electronic device 101, the direction in which the first front panel 811 faces and the direction in which the second front panel 821 faces may be opposite to each other. When the first rear panel 812 and the second rear panel 822 face each other in the folded state of the electronic device 101, the display 201 may be directly exposed to the outside in the folded state of the electronic device 101.

The folding axis f may mean, but is not limited to, a hypothetical line extending through the hinge cover 851 in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the electronic device 101. For example, the folding axis f may be a hypothetical line extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the electronic device 101. If the folding axis f extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the electronic device 101, the hinge structure 850 may extend in a direction parallel to the folding axis f to connect the first housing 810 and the second housing 820. The first housing 810 and the second housing 820 may be rotatable by the hinge structure 850 extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the electronic device 101.
[0168] According to one embodiment, the hinge structure 850 may include a hinge cover 851, a first hinge plate 852, a second hinge plate 853, and a hinge module 854. The hinge cover 851 may surround the internal components of the hinge structure 850 and form the outer surface of the hinge structure 850. According to one embodiment, when the electronic device 101 is in a folded state, at least a portion of the hinge cover 851 surrounding the hinge structure 850 may be exposed to the outside of the electronic device 101 through the gap between the first housing 810 and the second housing 820. According to another embodiment, when the electronic device 101 is in an unfolded state, the hinge cover 851 may be covered by the first housing 810 and the second housing 820 and not exposed to the outside of the electronic device 101.
[0169] According to one embodiment, the first hinge plate 852 and the second hinge plate 853 can be coupled to the first housing 810 and the second housing 820, respectively, thereby rotatably connecting the first housing 810 and the second housing 820. For example, the first hinge plate 852 may be coupled to the first front bracket 815 of the first housing 810, and the second hinge plate 853 may be coupled to the second front bracket 827 of the second housing 820. As the first hinge plate 852 and the second hinge plate 853 are coupled to the first front bracket 815 and the second front bracket 827, respectively, the first housing 810 and the second housing 820 may be rotatable by the rotation of the first hinge plate 852 and the second hinge plate 853.
[0170] The hinge module 854 can rotate the first hinge plate 852 and the second hinge plate 853. For example, the hinge module 854 includes gears that mesh with each other and are rotatable, allowing the first hinge plate 852 and the second hinge plate 853 to rotate with respect to the folding axis f. According to one embodiment, there may be multiple hinge modules 854. For example, multiple hinge modules 854 may be positioned spaced apart from each other at both ends of the first hinge plate 852 and the second hinge plate 853.
[0171] According to one embodiment, the first housing 810 includes a first front bracket 815 and a first rear bracket 816, and the second housing 820 includes a second front bracket 827 and a second rear bracket 828.

The first rear bracket 816 can define a portion of the outer surface of the first housing 810. The second front bracket 827 and the second rear bracket 828 can support components of the electronic device 101. The second front bracket 827 can define the second housing 820 by being coupled with the second rear bracket 828. The second rear bracket 828 can define a portion of the outer surface of the second housing 820. For example, the display 201 may be positioned on one side of the first front bracket 815 and on one side of the second front bracket 827. The first rear bracket 816 may be positioned on the other side of the first front bracket 815 opposite to the side of the first front bracket 815. The second rear bracket 828 may be positioned on the other side of the second front bracket 827 opposite to the side of the second front bracket 827. The sub-display panel 835 may be positioned between the second front bracket 827 and the second rear bracket 828.
[0172] In one embodiment, a portion of the first front bracket 815 may be surrounded by the first side surface 813, and a portion of the second front bracket 827 may be surrounded by the second side surface 823. For example, the first front bracket 815 may be formed integrally with the first side surface 813, and the second front bracket 827 may be formed integrally with the second side surface 823. In another example, the first front bracket 815 may be formed separately from the first side surface 813, and the second front bracket 827 may be formed separately from the second side surface 823.
