The extension portion (310) may be an extension portion of the substrate of the display panel (301). The extension portion (310) and the substrate of the display panel (301) may be formed of a polymer material. For example, the extension portion (310) and the substrate of the display panel (301) may include polyimide (PI) or polyethylene (PET). The display (101) may further include a driving circuit configured to control a light-emitting element of the display panel (301). The driving circuit may be arranged in the second extension portion (312) of the extension portion (310). Wires connecting the driving circuit and the display panel (301) may be connected through the first extension portion (311) and / or the second extension portion (312). The wires connecting the driving circuit and the display panel (301) are arranged in the first bendable extension portion (311), and may be relatively vulnerable to external impact.

[0062] The protective structure (320) can surround one edge of the display (101). The protective structure (320) can be referred to as a molding in the form of a band that is disposed at one edge of the display (101). For example, the protective structure (320) can surround one side of the display panel (301) (or the display portion (301a)) and the extended portion (310). The protective structure (320) can extend along a portion of the side wall (141). The protective structure (320) can be disposed along one edge of the display (101) and fill a space between the extended portion (310) and the display panel (301). The protective structure (320) can surround the display panel (301) and the extended portion (310), and can surround one side of the display panel (301) or the display (101) that the extended portion (310) surrounds. The protective structure (320) can protect a portion of the display (101) by wrapping around one edge of the display (101). The protective structure (320) can prevent the extended portion (310) from being exposed to the internal space of the electronic device (100). The protective structure (320) can protect the extended portion (310) where wires connecting the display panel (301) and the display driving circuit are arranged. The protective structure (320) can be referred to as a mold or molding structure in terms of protecting a portion of the display (101). The protective structure (320) can be referred to as a support member or support in terms of supporting a portion of the display (101).

[0063] The protective structure (320) may include a first portion (322), a second portion (321), and a third portion (323). The protective structure (320) may include a second portion (321) formed along a portion of the side wall (141) and dug (formed with a groove) toward the display (101) from a side facing the plate (340). For example, the second portion (321) may include a recessed area facing the plate (340). The recessed area may be a groove formed toward the display (101) from the side facing the plate (340). The second portion (322) may be referred to as a recessed portion from the side including the recessed area. The second portion (321) may be dug from one side of the protective structure (320). The second portion (321) may be dug toward the second extension portion (312) of the extension portion (310) of the display (101). The second portion (321) may be spaced apart from the internal structure of the electronic device (100). By being spaced apart from the internal structure or mechanism of the electronic device (100), the second portion (321) may reduce collision with other mechanisms even when the display sags due to external impact. Since the second portion (321) is not connected to other mechanisms or internal structures, when an external force is transmitted, a repulsive force may not be generated in the second portion (321), but may be generated in the surrounding support portion. The second portion (321) may overlap with the second extension portion (312) when the display (101) is viewed from above. For example, the sunken area of ​​the second portion (321) may overlap the second extended portion (312) of the display panel (301) when the display (101) is viewed in a vertical direction. The second portion (321) may be subject to relatively less impact due to the repulsive force transmitted to the portion wrapped by the second portion (321). The impact transmitted to the second extended portion (312) wrapped by the second portion (321) due to the repulsive force may be less.The above second part (321) can be spaced apart from the plate (340).

[0064] The first portion (322) may be closer to the side wall (141) than the third portion (323). The second portion (321) may be positioned between the first portion (322) and the third portion (323). The third portion (323) may be spaced apart from the first portion (322).

[0065] The plate (340) and the first portion (322) may be attached by an adhesive member (330). The first portion (322) may be combined with the plate (340) to generate a repulsive force due to an external impact. The first portion (322) may be a path through which a force or repulsive force due to an external impact is transmitted. The first portion (322) may be referred to as a first leg (or rib) on the side that protrudes toward the plate (340) and contacts and supports the plate (340). The third portion (323) may be referred to as a second leg (or rib) on the side that protrudes toward the plate (340). The first portion (322) may be a part of the protective structure (320) that contacts the adhesive member (330) on which the repulsive force or force may be relatively concentrated. For example, the force or repulsive force transmitted to the first portion (322) in contact with the adhesive member (330) may be transmitted to the first extended portion (311). Compared to the force or repulsive force transmitted to the first portion (322), the force or repulsive force transmitted to the second extended portion (312) may be relatively less. The first extended portion (311) is relatively far from the protective structure (320) as it fills the space between the display panels (301), so that the magnitude of the repulsive force transmitted through the protective structure (320) may be relatively reduced when it reaches the first extended portion (311). The second portion (321) disposed next to the first portion (322) has a relatively thin thickness, so that the medium or media through which the impact or repulsive force is transmitted may be reduced. Due to the reduced media, the repulsive force or impact transmitted to the second extended portion (312) may be reduced. When viewing the display (101) from above, the horizontal plane (342) of the first portion (322) and the step portion (S) in contact with the first portion (322) can be spaced apart from the second extension portion (312). The step portion (S) can connect the horizontal plane (342) and the recessed portion (341) having different heights.The step portion (S) may extend vertically from the recessed portion (341) of the plate (340) (or support structure (143)). The step portion (S) may be formed in a step shape and may include a horizontal surface (342) connected to the vertically extending portion.

[0066] The second extension portion (312), where many wires transmitted to the display driving circuit are arranged, may be relatively close to the surface of the protective structure (320). By forming the second portion (321) in the protective structure (320), direct contact between the second portion (321) and an external structure can be reduced. The second extension portion (312) adjacent to the second portion (321) can receive reduced force while being transmitted from the first portion (322) located next to the second portion (321). By receiving reduced force, the second extension portion (312) can reduce the risk of damage.

[0067] The plate (340) may include a recessed portion (341) that is dug toward the rear of the housing (110). The recessed portion (341) may extend along a portion of the side wall (141). The recessed portion (341) may overlap at least partially with the second portion (321) when the display (101) is viewed from above. The recessed portion (341) and the second portion (321) may separate the protective structure (320) from the plate (340) that supports the display (101). The second portion (321) may overlap with the second extension portion (312) of the extension portion (310) of the display (101) when the display (101) is viewed from above. The recessed portion (341) of the plate (340) (or the support structure (143)) may at least partially overlap with the second portion (321) of the protective structure (320). The second portion (321) of the protective structure (320) may be spaced apart from the recessed portion (341) of the plate (340) (or the support structure (143)) by a predetermined distance or more. The predetermined distance may be the sum of the depth of the second portion (321) of the protective structure (320) and the depth of the recessed portion (341) of the plate (340) (or the support structure (143)). The second portion (321) of the protective structure (320) may be relatively spaced apart from other structures to reduce external impact. The plate (340) may further include a step portion (S) disposed on one side of the recessed portion (341) and a protrusion portion (343) (or step portion) disposed on the other side of the recessed portion (341). The recessed portion (341) may be disposed between the step portion (S) and the protrusion portion (343).

[0068] The adhesive member (330) may be disposed between the protective structure (320) and the plate (340). The adhesive member (330) may be in contact with a part of the protective structure (320) and the plate (340). The adhesive member (330) may be disposed in the stepped portion (S) along the recessed portion (341). If the adhesive member (330) disposed along the recessed portion (341) is excessively applied, the adhesive member (330) may overflow into the recessed portion (341) past the stepped portion (S). Even if the adhesive member (330) flows into the recessed portion (341) past the stepped portion (S), the contact with other protective structures (320) other than the first portion (322) may be reduced due to the height of the stepped portion (S). An adhesive member (330) may be disposed along the side wall (141) between the first part (322) of the protective structure (320) and the plate (340) of the housing (110), which is disposed between the second part (321) and the side wall (141). The adhesive member (330) may include a bond, an adhesive, a double-sided tape, a waterproof adhesive, a waterproof tape, a sealing adhesive, or a sealing tape. The adhesive member (330) may include a polymer, silicone, or a cured adhesive material. The adhesive member (330) can couple the protective structure (320) and the plate (340) (or the support structure (143). The combination can represent adhesion by the adhesive member. The adhesive member (330) can support a part of the protective structure (320). The adhesive member (330) can connect the first part (322) of the protective structure (320) and the horizontal plane (342) of the step portion (S) of the plate (340). The adhesive member (330) can be placed between the first part (322) of the protective structure (320) and the horizontal plane (342) of the step portion (S) of the plate (340). The first part (322) of the protective structure (320) and the horizontal plane (342) of the step portion (S) of the plate (340) can be attached through the adhesive member (330).The step portion (S) and the first portion (322) may extend along a portion of the side wall (141). The step portion (S) and the first portion (322) may extend along a portion of the edge of the electronic device (100). The adhesive member (330) may be spaced apart from the second extension portion (312) when the display (101) is viewed from above. When the display (101) is viewed from above, the adhesive member (330) disposed between the first portion (322) and the horizontal plane (342) of the step portion (S) may be spaced apart from the second extension portion (312).

[0069] An external force applied to a portion of the display (101) adjacent to the extension portion (310) from the outside of the electronic device (100) can be transmitted to the adhesive member (330) and the portion of the plate (340) in contact with the adhesive member (330) through the protective structure (320). The adhesive member (330) adheres the first portion (322) and the horizontal surface (342) of the step portion (S), so that a repulsive force can be generated at the point where the first portion (322) and the adhesive member (330) are in contact. For example, when an impact occurs on the outside of the electronic device (100), the external impact can be transmitted to the protective structure (320). The external impact transmitted to the protective structure (320) can be transmitted to the first portion (322). The horizontal surface (342) of the step portion (S) in contact with the first portion (322) of the plate (340) can generate a repulsive force toward the first portion (322) due to the external impact received. For example, the fixed step portion (S) can provide a force that pushes the first portion (322) away from the horizontal surface (342) of the step portion (S) due to the repulsive force caused by the external impact. The repulsive force transmitted to the first portion (322) can be transmitted along the inside of the protective structure (320). Since the repulsive force is transmitted through the protective structure (320) as a medium, the magnitude of the repulsive force transmitted to the second portion (321) of the relatively thin protective structure (320) can be relatively small. The magnitude of the repulsive force transmitted to the second extension portion (312) disposed on the second portion (321) may be relatively smaller than the magnitude of the repulsive force transmitted to the first extension portion (311) disposed on the first portion (322).

[0070] According to the above-described embodiment, the electronic device (100) may provide a structure for reducing a repulsive force transmitted to the extended portion (310), which is a vulnerable portion of the display (101). The electronic device (100) may include a protective structure (320) that protects the extended portion (310). The protective structure (320) may include a second portion (321) under the second extended portion (312) to reduce a repulsive force transmitted to the second extended portion (312) where wires extending to the driving circuit of the display are arranged. The protective structure (320) including the second portion (321) may reduce a repulsive force transmitted to the second extended portion (312) through the first portion (322).

[0071] Fig. 4 is a drawing showing a housing including a plate and side walls of an electronic device. Fig. 5 is a drawing showing the back of a display of an electronic device.

[0072] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the electronic device (100) may include a plate (340) disposed inside the housing (110) or connected to the housing (110). The electronic device (100) may further include adhesive members (410, 420) disposed on the plate (340). The electronic device (100) may further include an elastic member (430) disposed on the plate (340) (e.g., the support structure (143) of FIG. 2). The first adhesive member (410) (e.g., the adhesive member (330) of FIG. 3) may be disposed on one edge of the housing (110) of the electronic device (100). For example, the first adhesive member (410) may be disposed along one edge of the housing (110) corresponding to the lower portion of the electronic device (100). For example, the first adhesive member (410) may be disposed along a portion of a side wall of the housing (110) (e.g., the side wall (141) of FIGS. 2 and 3). An application path of the first adhesive member (410) may extend along a portion of the side wall (141) forming one edge of the housing (110). The first adhesive member (410) may be connected to other adhesive members or other waterproof members disposed along other edges to waterproof the electronic device (100). The first adhesive member (410) may be connected to the other waterproof member (or other adhesive member) to form a closed curve. The electronic device may further include a waterproof adhesive between the first adhesive member (410) and the other waterproof member (or other adhesive member). The first adhesive member (410) and the other waterproof member (or other adhesive member) may include a waterproof tape, a waterproof adhesive, a sealing tape, or a sealing adhesive. The first adhesive member (410) and the other waterproof member may include a polymer, silicone, or a cured adhesive material. The waterproof adhesive disposed between the first adhesive member (410) and the other waterproof member may include a cured in place gasket (CIPG).The heights of the surface of the edge portion of the housing (110) where the first adhesive member (410) is disposed and the surface of the housing (110) where the other waterproof member is disposed are different, so that the first adhesive member (410) and the other waterproof member can be spaced apart. The waterproof adhesive can fill the space between the first adhesive member (410) and the other waterproof member to provide a continuous closed curve. The first adhesive member (410), the other waterproof member, and the waterproof adhesive form a closed curve, thereby reducing moisture from entering from the outside of the electronic device into the inside of the electronic device. The first adhesive member (410) can be referred to as a waterproof member or a sealing member in terms of preventing or reducing the inflow of moisture or foreign substances.

[0073] The first adhesive member (410) may have a specified width or thickness for waterproofing or sealing. The first adhesive member (410) may be placed on the step portion (S). The first adhesive member (410) may have a width corresponding to the surface on which the step portion (S) is placed. The first adhesive member (410) may have a thickness so as to be in contact with the step portion (S) and the first portion (322) of the protective member (320).

[0074] The second adhesive member (420) may be spaced apart from the first adhesive member (410). The second adhesive member (420) may reinforce the adhesive force between the display (101) and the housing (110). The second adhesive member (420) may include a bond, an adhesive, an adhesive tape, a double-sided tape, a sealing adhesive, or a sealing tape. The second adhesive member (420) may be disposed along a recessed portion (341) formed in the housing (110). The recessed portion (341) may be formed along an edge disposed at the lower portion of the housing (110). The recessed portion (341) may be disposed between the first adhesive member (410) and the second adhesive member (420). The second adhesive member (420) may be disposed inside the electronic device (100) from the first adhesive member (410) or the recessed portion (341). The second adhesive member (420) can be spaced apart from the first adhesive member (410) or the recessed portion (341). The recessed portion (341) can prevent a portion of the adhesive members (410, 420) from coming into contact with the protective structure (320) surrounding the extended portion (310) of the display (101) even if the portion of the adhesive members (410, 420) flows into the recessed portion (341). The recessed portion (341) can prevent a portion of the protective structure (320) corresponding to the lower portion of the second extended portion (312), which is a vulnerable portion of the display (101), from coming into contact with the adhesive members (410, 420). For example, the second portion (321) of the protective structure (320) disposed under the second extended portion (312) can be spaced apart from the adhesive members (410, 420). By avoiding adhesion between the adhesive members (410, 420) and a portion of the protective structure (320), the repulsive force applied to the second extension portion (312) can be reduced. The second adhesive member (420) can be positioned between the third portion (323) of the protective structure (320) and the protrusion (343) of the housing (110). The second adhesive member (420) can be in contact with the third portion (323) of the protective structure (320) and the protrusion (343) of the housing (110).

[0075] The elastic member (430) can be spaced apart from the second adhesive member (420). The elastic member (430) can be spaced apart from the second adhesive member (420) into the interior of the electronic device (100). The elastic member (430) can be disposed on the plate (340) of the housing (110). The elastic member (430) can be spaced apart from the protective structure (320) when the display (101) is viewed from above. The elastic member (430) can include a porous material, rubber, or sponge. The elastic member (430) can be spaced apart from the rear surface of the display (101). When the rear surface of the display (101) sags due to an external impact, the elastic member (430) can reduce the rear surface of the display (101) from being damaged by contact with the plate (340) of the housing (110). For example, the second extension portion (312), the driving circuit (510), and the flexible printed circuit board (520) disposed on the back surface of the display (101) of FIG. 5 can be prevented from directly contacting the plate (340) of the housing (110). The driving circuit (510) can be spaced apart from the protective structure (320). The driving circuit (510) can be connected to wires extended through the second extension portion (312). The driving circuit (510) can be connected to pixels (e.g., light-emitting elements) of a display panel (e.g., the display panel (301) of FIG. 3) through the wires. The driving circuit (510) can be configured to perform control related to the color of each pixel. The drive circuit (510) can be connected to a printed circuit board (e.g., the first printed circuit board (150) or the second printed circuit board (152) of FIG. 2) of the electronic device (100) via a flexible printed circuit board (520).

[0076] The second extension portion (312) of the display (101) may be covered by a protective structure (320). The protective structure (320) may include a second portion (321), a first portion (322), and a third portion (323). The first portion (322) may be attached to a plate (340) of the housing (110) by a first adhesive member (410). The third portion (323) may be attached to a plate (340) of the housing (110) by a second adhesive member (420). The first adhesive member (410) and the second adhesive member (420) may not be in contact with the second portion (321). For example, the second portion (321) may be spaced apart from the first adhesive member (410) and the second adhesive member (420). The second part (321) can be placed between the first adhesive member (410) and the second adhesive member (420).

[0077] The second portion (321) may face the recessed portion (341) formed in the plate (340) of the housing (110). The protective structure (320) positioned below the second extension portion (312) by the second portion (321) and the recessed portion (341) may not be in contact with or supported by the adhesive members. The protective structure (320) supported by the first portion (322) and the third portion (323) may reduce the repulsive force transmitted to the second extension portion (312) through the first portion (322) and the third portion (323).

[0078] The protective structure (320) may further include a reinforcing portion (621) separating the second portion (321). The reinforcing portion (621) may be filled in a portion of the second portion (321). The reinforcing portion (621) may fill a portion of the second portion (321) formed along one edge of the display (101). The reinforcing portion (621) may fill a portion of the second portion (321) formed along the extension direction of the protective structure (320). The protective structure (320) may be symmetrical with respect to the reinforcing portion (621). The reinforcing portion (621) may be formed across the center of the second portion (321). For example, the second portion (321) may be symmetrical with respect to the reinforcing portion (621). The reinforcing portion (621) may be placed on an interface (e.g., a USB interface or a power interface) placed on a lower portion of the electronic device (100). Since both ends of the second extension portion (312) of the display (101) are relatively weak, the area including the both ends is placed on the second portion (321), but the center portion of the second extension portion (312) is relatively strong and can be placed on the reinforcing portion (621). The reinforcing portion (621) can reinforce the rigidity of the protective structure (320) that is weakened by including the second portion (321).

[0079] The arrangement relationship between the protective structure (320) and the adhesive members (410, 420) and the elastic member (430) is explained through FIGS. 6a, 6b, 6c and 7.

[0080] Figures 6a, 6b, and 6c are cross-sectional views of the lower portion of the electronic device taken at various locations. Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view of the lower portion of the electronic device taken along an edge.

[0081] Referring to FIGS. 6A, 6B, 6C, and 7, the electronic device (100) may include a display (101), a housing (110), a protective structure (320), a first adhesive member (410), a second adhesive member (420), and an elastic member (430). The protective structure (320), the first adhesive member (410), the second adhesive member (420), and / or the elastic member (430) may be disposed on a portion of the lower portion of the electronic device (100). The electronic device (100) may omit at least one of the above components, or may additionally include other components. The electronic device (100) of FIG. 6A may refer to the electronic devices of FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Description of the configuration of the electronic device (100) that overlaps with the configurations of FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 is omitted.

[0082] The housing (110) may include a plate (340) and a side wall (141) disposed along an edge of the plate (340).

[0083] At least a portion of the display (101) may be disposed within the housing (110). The display (101) may form a portion of the outer surface of the electronic device (100). The electronic device (100) may further include a front plate (102) for protecting the display (101). The front plate (102) may transmit light emitted from the panel of the display (101) to the outside to provide visual information.

[0084] The display (101) may include a display panel (301) and an extension portion (310) that is bent from one side of the display panel (301) and extends into the housing (110). The extension portion (310) may extend from one edge of the display panel (301). The extension portion (310) may be bent approximately 180 degrees from one edge of the display panel (301) and extend into the interior of the housing (110). The extension portion (310) may include a first extension portion (311) that is bent and extends from the display panel (301). The extension portion (310) may further include a second extension portion (312) that is connected to the first extension portion (311). The second extension portion (312) may face the back of the display panel (301). For example, the second extension portion (312) may face the layers disposed on the rear surface of the display panel (301). The second extension portion (312) may be formed substantially flat so as to be disposed on one surface of the layers disposed on the rear surface of the display panel (301). The display (101) may further include a driving circuit configured to control a light-emitting element of the display panel (301).

[0085] The protective structure (320) can surround one side of the display panel (301) and the extended portion (310). The protective structure (320) can extend along a portion of the side wall (141). The protective structure (320) can be positioned along one edge of the display (101) and fill a space between the extended portion (310) and the display panel (301). The protective structure (320) can surround the display panel (301) and the extended portion (310), and can surround one side of the display panel (301) or the display (101) that the extended portion (310) surrounds.

[0086] The above protective structure (320) may include a second portion (321) formed along a portion of the side wall (141) and dug out from a side facing the plate (340) toward the display (101). The second portion (321) may be dug out from one side of the protective structure (320).

[0087] Referring to FIG. 6A, which is taken along line AA of FIG. 4, the second part (321) may be disposed between the first part (322) and the third part (323). Each of the first part (322) and the third part (323) disposed on both sides of the second part (321) may contact the horizontal surface (342) and the protrusion (343) of the step portion (S) of the plate (340). The first part (322) and the horizontal surface (342) of the step portion (S) may be attached to each other by a first adhesive member (410). The first adhesive member (410) may be disposed between the first part (322) and the horizontal surface (342) of the step portion (S). The first adhesive member (410) may be disposed along the side wall (141). The third portion (323) and the protrusion (343) can be attached to each other by a second adhesive member (420). The second adhesive member (420) can be disposed between the third portion (323) and the protrusion (343). The second adhesive member (420) can be disposed along one side of the second portion (321). The second adhesive member (420) can be disposed along one side of the recessed portion (341) of the plate (340). The second adhesive member (420) can be spaced apart from the first adhesive member (410). The second adhesive member (420) can reinforce the adhesive force between the display (101) and the housing (110). The first adhesive member (410) and the second adhesive member (420) can be spaced apart from the second portion (321). The first portion (322) on the first adhesive member (410) and the third portion (323) on the second adhesive member (420) may be points where force due to external impact is transmitted. The second portion (321) between the first adhesive member (410) and the second adhesive member (420) may be a portion where force due to external impact is relatively less transmitted. The external impact transmitted to the second extension portion (312) disposed on the second portion (321) may be less.The second part (321) is separated from the plate (340), which is an internal structure of the electronic device (100), so that damage to the display (101) due to sagging of the display (101) caused by external impact can be reduced.

[0088] The elastic member (430) may be spaced apart from the second adhesive member (420). The elastic member (430) may be spaced apart from the second adhesive member (420) into the interior of the electronic device (100). The elastic member (430) may be disposed on the plate (340) of the housing (110). The elastic member (430) may be spaced apart from the rear surface of the display (101). The elastic member (430) may be disposed in an area where the gap between the plate (340) and the display (101) is narrow. For example, the portion where the elastic member (430) is disposed may protrude toward the display (101) from the surface where the first adhesive member (410) or the second adhesive member (420) is disposed. A step may be included between the surface of the plate (340) where the elastic member (430) is disposed and the surface of the plate (340) where the second adhesive member (420) is disposed. The elastic member (430) may include a porous material, rubber, or sponge. Due to the narrow space between the display (101) and the surface of the plate (340) on which the elastic member (430) is placed, when the rear surface of the display (101) sags due to an external impact, the rear surface of the display (101) may come into contact with the plate (340) of the housing (110). The elastic member (430) can reduce damage to the display (101) due to contact between the rear surface of the display (101) and the plate (340) of the housing (110).

[0089] Referring to FIG. 6b, which is a cut along BB of FIG. 4, and FIG. 6c, which is a cut along CC of FIG. 4, the second adhesive member (e.g., the second adhesive member (420) of FIG. 6a) and / or the elastic member (430) may be omitted around the interface (609) for connection with an external electronic device (e.g., a USB interface or a power interface). The electronic device (100) may further include an adhesive member (630) disposed between the first support plate (340) and the structure of the interface (609). The adhesive member (630) may prevent foreign substances or moisture from entering between the first support plate (340) and the structure for the interface (609). The plate (340) at the portion where the interface (609) is disposed may further include a portion (641) protruding from the recessed portion (341). The above protruding portion (641) can be formed according to the arrangement of the interface (609). The above protruding portion (641) can be curved according to the shape of the interface (609).

[0090] The second portion (321) of FIG. 6B may extend to a region where the second rib is arranged in a portion of the protective structure (320). Among the extended portions (310) of the display (101), a central portion of the extended portion (310) having relatively high rigidity may reduce damage to the second extended portion (312) of the extended portion (310) of the display (101) even if the second adhesive member (420) is omitted. As the second portion (321) extends, the portion surrounding the second extended portion (312) becomes thinner and may be spaced apart from the plate (340).

[0091] The protective structure (320) of FIG. 6c may further include a reinforcing portion (621) that separates the second portion (321). The reinforcing portion (621) may be filled in a portion of the second portion (321). The reinforcing portion (621) may be disposed on an interface (609) disposed at a lower portion of the electronic device (100). The reinforcing portion (621) may reinforce the rigidity of the protective structure (320) that is weakened by including the second portion (321). In order to reduce the repulsive force transmitted through the reinforcing portion (621), the reinforcing portion (621) of the protective structure (320) may be spaced apart from the plate (340). By separating the reinforcing portion (621) from the plate (340), damage to the wires in the second extension portion (312) disposed on the reinforcing portion (621) may be reduced.

[0092] According to the above-described embodiment, the electronic device (100) may provide a structure for reducing a repulsive force transmitted to the extended portion (310), which is a vulnerable portion of the display (101). The electronic device (100) may include a protective structure (320) that protects the extended portion (310). The protective structure (320) may include a second portion (321) under the second extended portion (312) to reduce a repulsive force transmitted to the second extended portion (312) where wires extending to the driving circuit of the display are arranged. The protective structure (320) including the second portion (321) may reduce a repulsive force transmitted to the second extended portion (312) through the first portion (322).

[0093] According to one embodiment, an electronic device having a protective structure can reduce damage to the bending portion of a display. The protective structure, which includes a recessed portion overlapping a vulnerable portion, can reduce repulsive force or external impact transmitted to the vulnerable portion of the display substrate. The protective structure can reinforce the strength weakened by including the recessed portion by including a reinforcing portion that fills the recessed portion.

The housing may include a plate (e.g., plate (340) of FIG. 3). The housing may further include a side wall (e.g., side wall (141) of FIG. 3). The side wall may be disposed along an edge of the plate. The electronic device may include a display (e.g., display (101) of FIG. 3). The display may be disposed at least partially within the housing. The display may include a display panel (e.g., display panel (301) of FIG. 3). The display may further include a substrate (e.g., extension portion (310) of FIG. 3). The substrate may be bent from one side of the display panel and extend into the housing. The electronic device may further include a protective structure (e.g., protective structure (320) of FIG. 3). The protective structure may surround one side of the display panel and the substrate and extend along a portion of the sidewall. The electronic device may further include an adhesive member (e.g., adhesive member (330) of FIG. 3 or first adhesive member (410) of FIG. 4). The adhesive member may be disposed between the protective structure and the plate. The protective structure may include a recessed portion (e.g., second portion (321) of FIG. 3) formed along a portion of the sidewall and recessed from a side facing the plate toward the display. The adhesive member may be disposed along the sidewall between a portion of the protective structure (e.g., first portion (322) of FIG. 3) disposed between the recessed portion and the sidewall and the plate of the housing.

[0102] In one embodiment, the plate may include a groove extending along a portion of the side surface and extending toward the rear of the housing, such that the groove overlaps at least partially with the recessed portion when the display is viewed from above.

[0103] According to the above-described embodiment, the increased separation distance through the groove overlapping a portion of the sunken portion can prevent contact between the protective structure disposed under the second portion and other devices even in the event of an external impact.

[0104] According to one embodiment, the protective structure may include a reinforcing portion that fills a portion of the recessed portion, and may be symmetrical with respect to the reinforcing portion.

[0105] According to the above-described embodiment, an external force applied from outside the electronic device to a portion of the display adjacent to the substrate can be transmitted to the adhesive member and the portion of the plate in contact with the adhesive member through the protective structure.

[0106] The above protective structure may include a first rib (e.g., the first part (322) of FIG. 3) that is part of the protective structure and a second rib (e.g., the third part (323) of FIG. 3) that faces the first rib with the recessed part therebetween.

[0108] In one embodiment, the recessed portion may be disposed between the adhesive member and the additional adhesive member.

[0109] According to the above-described embodiment, the external impact is concentrated on the first rib and the second rib, so that the impact transmitted from the external impact to the second part of the display on the part of the body disposed between the first rib and the second rib can be reduced.

[0110] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may further include an elastic member, wherein the elastic member may be spaced apart from the additional adhesive member.

[0145] At least some of the above components can be interconnected and exchange signals (e.g., commands or data) with each other via a communication method between peripheral devices (e.g., a bus, GPIO (general purpose input and output), SPI (serial peripheral interface), or MIPI (mobile industry processor interface)).

[0146] According to one embodiment, commands or data may be transmitted or received between the electronic device (801) and an external electronic device (804) via a server (808) connected to a second network (899). Each of the external electronic devices (802 or 804) may be the same or a different type of device as the electronic device (801). According to one embodiment, all or part of the operations executed in the electronic device (801) may be executed in one or more of the external electronic devices (802, 804, or 808).
