The length of the first adhesive member (381) may become shorter as it goes from the central portion of the first adhesive member (381) toward an outer portion (e.g., the first outer portion (3814)). The length of the first adhesive member (381) may become smaller from the central portion of the first adhesive member (381) toward the inner portion (e.g., the first inner portion (3815)).

[0181] According to one embodiment, the length of the first adhesive member (381) (e.g., the length in the Y-axis direction of FIG. 6) can be varied along the width direction of the first housing (310) (e.g., the X-axis direction of FIG. 6) by the shape of the first upper portion (3816) formed to be curved, the first lower portion (3817) formed to be curved, the first protruding portion (3812) formed to be protruded, or the second protruding portion (3813) formed to be protruded.

[0182] In one embodiment, the first outer portion (3814) may be defined and / or interpreted as being formed to be relatively concave with respect to the first protruding portion (3812). For example, the first outer portion (3814) may be formed by cutting at least a portion of the first body portion (3811).

[0183] In one embodiment, the first inner portion (3815) may be defined and / or interpreted as being formed to be relatively concave with respect to the second protruding portion (3813). For example, the first inner portion (3815) may be formed by cutting at least a portion of the first body portion (3811).

[0184] According to one embodiment, due to the shape of the first adhesive member (381), the adhesive region (or adhesive area) of the first adhesive member (381) may be largest at a central portion of the first adhesive member (381) (e.g., a central portion based on the X-axis direction of FIG. 6) and may become smaller toward an outer portion (e.g., the first outer portion (3814)) or an inner portion (e.g., the first inner portion (3815)) of the first adhesive member (381).

[0185] According to one embodiment, when the state of the electronic device (101) or the state of the foldable housing (e.g., the foldable housing (201) of FIG. 4) is in an unfolded state (e.g., FIG. 2), if a twist occurs with respect to the first housing (310) (or the first side (313)), a torsion may occur in the first adhesive member (381). Since the first adhesive member (381) is configured such that the bonding area becomes smaller toward the first side (313), the occurrence of the twist may be reduced or limited in an area adjacent to the first side (313) (e.g., the outer portions (3812, 3814) of the first adhesive member (381)). Accordingly, when a misalignment occurs in the first housing (310), the first battery (371) can be reduced or limited from being detached from the first recess (312) as the adhesive strength between the first adhesive member (381) and the bottom surface of the first recess (312) is not reduced.

[0186] According to one embodiment, when the state of the electronic device (101) or the state of the foldable housing (e.g., the foldable housing (201) of FIG. 4) is in a folded state (e.g., FIG. 3), when a twist occurs in the first housing (310) (or, the first side (313), or the first edge portion (314)), a torsion may occur in the first adhesive member (381). Since the first adhesive member (381) is configured so that the bonding area becomes smaller toward the first side (313) or the first edge portion (314), the occurrence of the twist may be reduced or limited in an area adjacent to the first side (313) (e.g., the outer portions (3812, 3814) or the inner portions (3813, 3815) of the first adhesive member (381)). Accordingly, when a misalignment occurs in the first housing (310), the first battery (371) can be reduced or limited from being detached from the first recess (312) as the adhesive strength between the first adhesive member (381) and the bottom surface of the first recess (312) is not reduced.
