The foldable housing of the electronic device (101) is not limited to the shape and combination illustrated in FIG. 2, and may be implemented by combining and / or combining other shapes or parts. For example, in another embodiment, the first housing (210) and the first back cover (240) may be formed integrally, and the second housing (220) and the second back cover (250) may be formed integrally. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure disclosed in this document, the term 'housing' may mean a combination and / or combined configuration of various other parts that are not mentioned. For example, the first area (231a) of the first display (230) may be described as forming one side of the first housing (210), and in another embodiment, the first area (231a) of the first display (230) may be described as being arranged or attached to one side of the first housing (210).

[0069] According to one embodiment, the first housing (210) is connected to a hinge structure (e.g., the hinge structure (270) of FIG. 4 described below) and may include a first side (210a) facing a first direction and a second side (210b) facing a second direction opposite to the first direction. The second housing (220) is connected to a hinge structure (e.g., the hinge structure (270) of FIG. 4 described below) and includes a third side (220a) facing a third direction and a fourth side (220b) facing a fourth direction opposite to the third direction, and may rotate or pivot with respect to the first housing (210) about the hinge structure (or folding axis (A)).

[0070] According to one embodiment, the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) may be arranged on both sides (or upper / lower sides) with respect to the folding axis (A). The angle or distance at which the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) intersect each other may vary depending on whether the state of the electronic device (101) is an unfolded state, a folded state, or a partially unfolded (or partially folded) intermediate state.

[0071] According to one embodiment, at least a portion of the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) may be formed of a metallic or non-metallic material having a rigidity of a size selected to support the first display (230). At least a portion formed of the metallic material may serve as a ground plane or a radiating conductor of the electronic device (101), and when served as a ground plane, may be electrically connected to a ground line formed in a circuit board assembly (e.g., circuit board assemblies (216, 226) of FIG. 4).

[0072] According to one embodiment, the first rear cover (240) is disposed on one side (e.g., the upper side in FIG. 2) of the folding axis (A) on the rear of the electronic device (101) and may have, for example, a substantially rectangular periphery, the periphery of which may be wrapped by the first housing (210) (and / or the side bezel structure). Similarly, the second rear cover (250) is disposed on the other side (e.g., the lower side in FIG. 2) of the folding axis (A) on the rear of the electronic device (101) and may have its periphery wrapped by the second housing (220) (and / or the side bezel structure).

[0073] According to one embodiment, the first rear cover (240) and the second rear cover (250) may have substantially symmetrical shapes with respect to the folding axis (A). However, the first rear cover (240) and the second rear cover (250) do not necessarily have mutually symmetrical shapes, and in another embodiment, the electronic device (101) may include the first rear cover (240) and the second rear cover (250) of various shapes. In yet another embodiment, the first rear cover (240) may be formed integrally with the first housing (210), and the second rear cover (250) may be formed integrally with the second housing (220).

[0074] According to one embodiment, the first rear cover (240), the second rear cover (250), the first housing (210), and the second housing (220) may form a space in which various components of the electronic device (101) may be placed (e.g., the circuit board assembly (216, 226) of FIG. 4, or the battery (215, 225)). According to one embodiment, one or more components may be placed or visually exposed on the rear surface of the electronic device (101). For example, at least a portion of the second display (239) may be visually exposed through the first rear cover (240). In another embodiment, one or more components or sensors may be visually exposed through the first rear cover (240). In various embodiments, the components or sensors may include a proximity sensor, a rear camera, and / or a flash. In addition, although not shown separately in the drawing, one or more components or sensors may be visually exposed through the second rear cover (250).

[0075] According to one embodiment, a front camera device (251) exposed on the front side of the electronic device (101) through one or more openings or a rear camera device (253) exposed through the first rear cover (240) may include one or more lenses, an image sensor, and / or an image signal processor. A flash (not shown) may include, for example, a light emitting diode or a xenon lamp. In some embodiments, two or more lenses (infrared camera, wide-angle and telephoto lenses) and image sensors may be arranged on one side of the electronic device (101).

[0076] According to one embodiment, the foldable housing (210, 220, 260) may include a hinge cover (260), a first housing (210), and a second housing (220). The first housing (210) and the second housing (220) may be rotated with respect to the hinge structure (270). When the electronic device (101) is changed from an unfolded state to a folded state, the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) may be rotated with respect to the hinge structure (270) to bring them closer to each other. When the electronic device (101) is changed from a folded state to an unfolded state, a portion of the first housing (210) and a portion of the second housing (220) may be rotated with respect to the hinge cover (260) to move them away from each other. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the folding direction of the first housing (210) and / or the second housing (220) may include a direction in which the first housing (210) and / or the second housing (220) rotates with respect to the hinge structure (270) when the first housing (210) and / or the second housing (220) transitions from an unfolded state to a folded state. The unfolding direction of the first housing (210) and / or the second housing (220) may include a direction in which the first housing (210) and / or the second housing (220) rotates with respect to the hinge structure (270) when the first housing (210) and / or the second housing (220) transitions from a folded state to an unfolded state.

[0077] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can be configured to have a folded state of the first display (230) or an unfolded state of the first display (230). For example, the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) can rotate about the folding axis (A) between a folded state in which the first region (231a) and the second region (231b) of the first display (230) face each other, and a state in which the first display (230) is unfolded by a specified angle from the folded state (e.g., the unfolded state of the electronic device (101) illustrated in FIG. 2).

[0078] According to one embodiment, as the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) rotate about the folding axis (A), the electronic device (101) may include a folded state and an unfolded state. The folded state may be a state in which the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) face each other, and an angle formed by the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) may be less than a predetermined angle (e.g., 10 degrees). The unfolded state may be a state in which the electronic device (101) is fully unfolded or partially unfolded, and an angle formed by the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) may be greater than or equal to the predetermined angle.

[0079] Fig. 2 illustrates an unfolded state of the electronic device (101) in which the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) form an angle of approximately 180°. Fig. 3 illustrates a folded state of the electronic device (101) in which the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) are positioned parallel to each other and facing each other. In the folded state, the first region (231a) and the second region (231b) of the first display (230) can be positioned to face each other, and the folding region (231c) can be bent.

[0080] According to one embodiment, the folding of the electronic device (101) can be implemented in two ways: 'in-folding', in which the first region (231a) and the second region (231b) are folded to face each other, and 'out-folding', in which the first region (231a) and the second region (231b) are folded to face opposite directions. For example, in a folded state in the in-folding manner, the first region (231a) and the second region (231b) can be substantially concealed, and in a fully unfolded state, the first region (231a) and the second region (231b) can be arranged to face substantially the same direction. For example, in the folded state in the out-folding manner, the first region (231a) and the second region (231b) may be arranged facing in opposite directions and exposed to the outside, and in the fully unfolded state, the first region (231a) and the second region (231b) may be arranged facing in substantially the same direction.

[0081] According to one embodiment, the first display (230) may include a display panel (not shown) and a window member (not shown), at least a portion of which may be formed to be flexible. Although not separately illustrated, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the first display (230) or the display panel includes various layers, such as a light-emitting layer, a substrate(s) encapsulating the light-emitting layer, an electrode or wiring layer, and / or an adhesive layer(s) bonding adjacent different layers. When the first display (230) (e.g., the folding area (231c)) is deformed into a flat shape and a curved shape, a relative displacement may occur between the layers forming the first display (230). The relative displacement due to the deformation of the first display (230) may increase as the point is further from the folding axis (A) and / or as the thickness of the first display (230) increases.

[0082] In one embodiment, the window member, for example, a thin film plate, may function as a protective film for protecting the display panel. As a protective film, the thin film plate may be made of a material that protects the display panel from external impact, is scratch-resistant, and reduces wrinkles in the folding area (231c) even during repeated folding and unfolding operations of the housings (210, 220). For example, the material of the thin film plate may include a transparent polyimide film (CPI) or an ultra-thin glass (UTG).

[0083] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may further include a protective member (206)(s) or a decorative cover (218, 228)(s) disposed on at least a portion of an edge of the first display (230) on the front surface (e.g., the first side (210a) or the third side (220a)). As an example, the protective member (206) and the decorative cover (218, 228) may be connected to each other to surround an edge of the first display (230). The protective member (206) or the decorative cover (218, 228) may prevent at least a portion of an edge of the first display (230) from contacting a mechanical structure (e.g., the first housing (210) or the second housing (220)). The protective member (206) or the decorative cover (218, 228) may be visually exposed to the outside of the electronic device (101).

[0084] According to one embodiment, the decorative covers (218, 228) and the protective member (206) may be connected to each other. As an example, the decorative covers (218, 228) and the protective member (206) may be formed integrally. The decorative covers (218, 228) may extend along the folding axis (A). The decorative covers (218, 228) may include a first decorative cover (218) disposed between a portion of an edge of a first area (231a) of the first display (230) and an inner wall of the first housing (210). The decorative covers (218, 228) may include a second decorative cover (228) disposed between a portion of an edge of a second area (231b) of the first display (230) and an inner wall of the second housing (220). As an example, the first decorative cover (218) and the second decorative cover (228) can extend substantially parallel along the folding axis (A).

[0085] According to one embodiment, the speaker hole (245) may be formed in a decorative cover (218) or protective member (206) interposed between the edge of the first area (231a) of the first display (230) and the inner wall of the first housing (210). As an example, the speaker hole (245) may be formed in the first decorative cover (218).

[0114] According to one embodiment, the battery (340) may be adhered to the support member (320) and / or the heat dissipation member (350). For example, the battery (340) may be adhered to the support member (320) and / or the heat dissipation member (350) by an adhesive sheet (T1) provided between the battery (340) and the support member (320) and / or the heat dissipation member (350). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and if sufficient adhesive force is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the fourth cover portion (3434) of the cover member (343), the adhesive sheet (T1) may not be provided.

[0115] According to one embodiment, the battery (340) may be disposed on one side of the circuit board assembly (330). For example, the battery (340) may be disposed on the first direction (+X direction) side of the circuit board assembly (330). The battery (340) may be spaced apart from the circuit board assembly (330).

[0116] In one embodiment, the battery (340) may include a battery body (341). The battery body (341) may include, for example, a pouch or case containing a positive electrode material, a negative electrode material, and / or a separator.

At least a portion of the cover member (343) may be adhered to an outer peripheral surface of the battery body (341). The battery (340) may be attached to the support member (320) via the cover member (343) disposed between the battery body (341) and the support member (320).

[0120] According to one embodiment, the cover member (343) may include a first cover portion (3431). The first cover portion (3431) may at least partially cover a first surface (3411) of the battery body (341). For example, the first cover portion (3431) may cover a surface of the battery body (341) facing the second direction (-X direction).

[0121] According to one embodiment, the first cover portion (3431) may include a first portion (343a). For example, referring to FIGS. 8 and 10 , the first portion (343a) may be a portion positioned in the central region of the first cover portion (3431).

[0122] According to one embodiment, the first cover portion (3431) may include a second portion (343b). The second portion (343b) may be distinguished in a direction in which a side extending from the first portion (343a) toward the circuit board assembly (330) of the battery (340) extends. The first portion (343a) and the second portion (343b) may be separated from each other. For example, the second portion (343b) may be a portion to be disposed on the third direction (+Y direction) and fourth direction (-Y direction) sides of the first portion (343a). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the second portion (343b) may be provided in only one of the third direction (+Y direction) and the fourth direction (-Y direction) of the first portion (343a).

[0123] According to one embodiment, the cover member (343) may include a second cover portion (3432). The second cover portion (3432) may partially cover the second side (3412) of the battery body (341). For example, the second cover portion (3432) may partially cover a side of the battery body (341) facing one side in the thickness direction (+Z direction).

[0124] According to one embodiment, the second cover portion (3432) may include a first portion (343a). For example, referring to FIGS. 8 and 10 , the first portion (343a) may be a portion positioned in a central region of the first cover portion (3431). The first portion (343a) of the second cover portion (3432) may be a portion connected to the first portion (343a) of the first cover portion (3431). That is, the first portion (343a) may be a portion extending along the first surface (3411) and the second surface (3412) of the battery body (341).

[0125] According to one embodiment, the second cover portion (3432) may include a second portion (343b). The second portion (343b) may be distinguished in a direction in which a side extends from the first portion (343a) toward the circuit board assembly (330) of the battery (340). The first portion (343a) and the second portion (343b) may be separated from each other. The second portion (343b) may be a portion disposed on the third direction (+Y direction) and fourth direction (-Y direction) sides of the first portion (343a). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the second portion (343b) may be provided in only one of the third direction (+Y direction) and the fourth direction (-Y direction) of the first portion (343a). The second part (343b) of the second cover part (3432) may be a part connected to the second part (343b) of the first cover part (3431). That is, the second part (343b) may be a part extending along the first side (3411) and the second side (3412) of the battery body (341). In addition, the second part (343b) may be a part connected to the fourth cover part (3434). That is, the second part (343b) may be a part extending from the fourth cover part (3434) along the first side (3411) of the battery body (341).

[0126] According to one embodiment, at least a portion of the first portion (343a) may be attached to the battery body (341). Specifically, at least a portion of the first portion (343a) of the first cover portion (3431), the first portion (343a) of the second cover portion (3432), or a portion of the first portion (343a) that extends toward the fourth side (3414) of the battery body (341) may be attached to the battery body (341).

[0127] According to one embodiment, at least a portion of the second portion (343b) may be attached to the battery body (341). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the second portion (343b) may not be attached to the battery body (341).

[0128] According to one embodiment, the adhesion between at least a portion of the first portion (343a) and the battery body (341) may be stronger than the adhesion between the second portion (343b) and the battery body (341). Accordingly, when a worker pulls the handle portion (3435) connected to the first portion (343a) to detach the battery (340) from the support member (320) and / or the heat dissipation member (350), the battery body (341) may be separated from the second portion (343b) while remaining attached to the first portion (343a).

[0129] According to one embodiment, the adhesion between at least a portion of the first portion (343a) and the battery body (341) may be stronger than the adhesion between the fourth cover portion (3434) and the battery body (341). Accordingly, when a worker pulls the handle portion (3435) connected to the first portion (343a) to detach the battery (340) from the support member (320) and / or the heat dissipation member (350), the battery body (341) may be separated from the fourth cover portion (3434) while still attached to the first portion (343a).

[0130] According to one embodiment, the cover member (343) may include a third cover portion (3433). The third cover portion (3433) may at least partially cover a third side (3413) of the battery body (341). For example, the third cover portion (3433) may cover a side of the battery body (341) facing the first direction (+X direction). The third cover portion (3433) may be connected to a fourth cover portion (3434).

[0131] In one embodiment, the third cover portion (3433) may be partially disposed on the second surface (3412) of the battery body (341). For example, the third cover portion (3433) may at least partially cover the third surface (3413), but may extend a portion of the third surface (3413) onto the second surface (3412) to at least partially cover the second surface (3412).

[0132] According to one embodiment, the adhesion between the third cover portion (3433) and the battery body (341) may be stronger than the adhesion between the cover member (343) (e.g., the fourth cover portion (3434)) and the support member (320) and / or the heat dissipation member (350). Accordingly, when the battery (340) is removed from the support member (320) and / or the heat dissipation member (350), if the worker further pulls the handle portion (3435) and / or the battery body (341) while the battery body (341) is separated from the fourth cover portion (3434), the fourth cover portion (3434) connected to the third cover portion (3433) may be separated from the support member (320) and / or the heat dissipation member (350) while the third cover portion (3433) is attached to the battery body (341).

[0133] According to one embodiment, the cover member (343) may include a fourth cover portion (3434). The fourth cover portion (3434) may at least partially cover the fourth surface (3414) of the battery body (341). For example, the fourth cover portion (3434) may cover one thickness-wise side (-Z direction) of the battery body (341). A first direction (+X direction) side edge of the fourth cover portion (3434) is connected to the third cover portion (3433), a part of a second direction (-X direction) side edge of the fourth cover portion (3434) is connected to a second part (343b) of the first cover portion (3431), and another part of the second direction (-X direction) side edge of the fourth cover portion (3434) may be detachably distinguished from the first part (343a).

[0134] Unlike the above, the first cover portion (3431) and the second cover portion (3432) of the cover member (343) may not be divided into a first portion (343a) and a second portion (343b). For example, the first cover portion (3431) and the second cover portion (3432) may be formed integrally, and the first cover portion (3431) may extend partially toward the fourth surface (3414) of the battery body (341). The first cover portion (3431) and the fourth cover portion (3434) may be separated from each other. The adhesive force between at least a portion of the first cover portion (3431) and the second cover portion (3432) and the battery body (341) may be stronger than the adhesive force between the fourth cover portion (3434) and the battery body (341). In this case, when the worker pulls the handle portion (3435) connected to the second cover portion (3432) to detach the battery (340) from the support member (320), the battery body (341) can be separated from the fourth cover portion (3434) while remaining attached to the first cover portion (3431) and / or the second cover portion (3432).

[0135] According to one embodiment, the cover member (343) may include a handle portion (3435). The handle portion (3435) may be disposed on the second surface (3412) of the battery body (341). The handle portion (3435) may be connected to the second cover portion (3432). For example, the handle portion (3435) may be connected to the first portion (343a) of the second cover portion (3432). The handle portion (3435) may be a portion that is weakly attached to the second surface (3412) of the battery body (341) so as to prevent the battery (340) from falling off from the battery body (341) when assembled in the electronic device (301). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the handle portion (3435) may not be attached to the battery body (341). The worker can remove the battery (340) from the support member (320) by grasping and pulling the handle portion (3435).

[0136] The process of removing the battery (340) from the support member (320) in an electronic device (301) according to one embodiment is described as follows.

[0137] According to one embodiment, the worker can hold and pull the handle portion (3435) after separating the handle portion (3435) from the second surface (3412) that is in close contact with the second surface (3412) of the battery body (341).

[0138] According to one embodiment, since the battery body (341) is strongly adhered to the first part (343a) connected to the handle part (3435), when the operator pulls the handle part (3435), the battery body (341) can be separated from the support member (320) and / or the heat dissipation member (350) by being pulled by the first part (343a) attached to the battery body (341). At this time, the edge of the battery body (341) in the first direction (+X direction) is attached to the support member (320) and / or the heat dissipation member (350), and the edge of the battery body (341) in the second direction (-X direction) is separated from the support member (320) and / or the heat dissipation member (350). In this process, the second part (343b) and the fourth cover part (3434) having weak adhesion to the battery body (341) may remain on the support member (320) and / or the heat dissipation member (350). In addition, the first part (343a) and the second part (343b) may be separated from each other, and the first part (343a) and the fourth cover part (3434) may also be separated from each other.

[0139] According to one embodiment, when a worker holds and continues to pull the battery body (341) separated from the handle portion (3435) or the second portion (343b) and the fourth cover portion (3434), the fourth cover portion (3434) connected to the third cover portion (3433) strongly adhered to the battery body (341) can be separated from the support member (320) and / or the heat dissipation member (350).

[0140] As described above, the battery (340) can be easily removed from the support member (320) and the heat dissipation member (350) by the cover member (343) that at least partially covers the battery body (341).

[0141] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may include a heat dissipation member (350). The heat dissipation member (350) may be disposed on the support member (320). The heat dissipation member (350) may be disposed on a surface of the support member (320) facing the circuit board assembly (330) and the battery (340). The heat dissipation member (350) may be disposed on a surface facing one side (+Z direction) of the support member (320) in the thickness direction. The heat dissipation member (350) may dissipate heat inside the housing (310) to the outside.

[0142] According to one embodiment, the heat dissipation member (350) may be a vapor chamber formed inside and through which a coolant flows, or may be a pad made of graphite material, but is not limited thereto.

[0143] According to one embodiment, the heat dissipation member (350) can exchange heat with a heat source. The heat source can be, for example, an electronic component or a battery (340) mounted on the circuit board assembly (330). For example, the heat dissipation member (350) can dissipate heat generated from a processor (e.g., the processor (120) of FIG. 1) disposed on the circuit board assembly (330).

[0144] According to one embodiment, the heat dissipation member (350) may be disposed between the support member (320) and the circuit board assembly (330). Additionally, the heat dissipation member (350) may be disposed between the support member (320) and the battery (340). The heat dissipation member (350) may be disposed in an area overlapping the circuit board assembly (330) in the thickness direction (+Z direction and / or -Z direction) and may be understood to extend to an area overlapping the battery (340).

[0145] According to one embodiment, the area where the heat dissipation member (350) is disposed may include at least a portion of the area where the circuit board assembly (330) is disposed on the support member (320) to at least a portion of the area where the battery (340) is disposed. For example, a portion of the heat dissipation member (350) may be disposed in at least a portion of the area where the circuit board assembly (330) is disposed, and another portion of the heat dissipation member (350) may be disposed in at least a portion of the area where the battery (340) is disposed.

[0146] According to one embodiment, the heat dissipation member (350) may include a first heat dissipation portion (351). The first heat dissipation portion (351) may be disposed between the support member (320) and the circuit board assembly (330). The first heat dissipation portion (351) may overlap at least a portion of the circuit board assembly (330) in the thickness direction (+Z direction and / or -Z direction).

[0147] According to one embodiment, the heat dissipation member (350) may include a second heat dissipation portion (352). The second heat dissipation portion (352) may extend from the first heat dissipation portion (351) between the support member (320) and the battery (340). The second heat dissipation portion (352) may overlap at least a portion of the battery (340) in the thickness direction (+Z direction and / or -Z direction).

[0148] According to one embodiment, the second heat dissipation portion (352) may be positioned adjacent to the battery (340). For example, the battery (340) may be attached to the second heat dissipation portion (352). Specifically, the second heat dissipation portion (352) may be attached to a surface of the battery (340) facing the support member (320) by an adhesive sheet (T1). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and when the fourth cover portion (3434) of the cover member (343) has adhesiveness on its own, the battery (340) may be attached to the second heat dissipation portion (352) without the adhesive sheet (T1).

[0149] As described above, in the electronic device (301) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, since there is no rib protruding from the support member (320) between the area where the circuit board assembly (330) and the battery (340) are placed, the heat dissipation member (350) can freely extend / expand from the area of ​​the circuit board assembly (330) to the area of ​​the battery (340). Through this, the area of ​​the heat dissipation member (350) can be increased, and thus the heat dissipation performance of the electronic device (301) can be improved.

[0150] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may include a protective member (360). The protective member (360) may be disposed on at least a portion of a side of the battery (340) facing the circuit board assembly (330). For example, the protective member (360) may be disposed such that at least a portion thereof is adjacent to the side of the battery (340) facing the circuit board assembly (330). For example, the protective member (360) may be disposed adjacent to a side of the battery (340) facing the second direction (-X direction).

[0151] According to one embodiment, the protective member (360) may have a predetermined thickness. For example, the protective member (360) may have a predetermined length in the first direction (+X direction) and / or the second direction (-X direction). For example, the thickness of the protective member (360) may be 0.45 mm.

[0152] According to one embodiment, the protective member (360) can protect the battery (340) from physical impact of an electronic component (e.g., circuit board assembly (330)) adjacent to the battery (340). For example, when an external impact is applied to the electronic device (301), such as when a user drops the electronic device (301), the battery (340) fixed by the adhesive member (e.g., adhesive sheet (370)) may come off from the fixed position. At this time, a protruding structure in the vicinity may approach or contact the battery (340), thereby causing damage to the battery (340). The protective member (360) can be disposed between the battery (340) and a structure adjacent thereto (e.g., circuit board assembly (330)), thereby acting as a shield to protect the battery (340) from structures adjacent to the battery (340). According to one embodiment, the protective member (360) can dissipate heat generated from a heat source (e.g., a battery (340)) inside the housing (310). For example, the protective member (360) can contact the battery (340) and exchange heat with the battery (340). The protective member (360) can release heat exchanged from the battery (340).

[0153] In one embodiment, the protective member (360) may extend along a side surface of the battery (340). The protective member (360) may extend in a direction extending a space between the circuit board assembly (330) and the battery (340). For example, the protective member (360) may be understood to extend in a third direction (+Y direction) and / or a fourth direction (-Y direction). However, when the side surface of the battery (340) facing the circuit board assembly (330) is not a straight line, the protective member (360) may extend along the side surface of the battery (340) facing the circuit board assembly (330).

[0154] In one embodiment, the thickness of the protective member (360) may not be constant. For example, the thickness at any point of the protective member (360) may be greater than the thickness at another point of the protective member (360). For example, the surface of the protective member (360) facing the circuit board assembly (330) may have a rough shape. For example, when a component (e.g., a component with a protruding shape or a heavy component) that is likely to press the battery (340) is placed in an area facing the protective member (360), the portion of the protective member (360) facing the component that is likely to press the battery (340) may be formed thicker than other portions of the protective member (360).

[0155] According to one embodiment, the extended length (d1) of the protective member (360) may be longer than the length (d2) of the edge of the circuit board assembly (330) facing the battery (340). The edge of the circuit board assembly (330) facing the battery (340) may be understood to overlap the protective member (360) in a horizontal direction. Through this, the protective member (360) can completely protect the battery (340) from physical impact by the edge of the circuit board assembly (330).

[0156] In one embodiment, the protective member (360) can be attached to the battery (340). For example, the protective member (360) can be attached to a side of the battery (340) facing the circuit board assembly (330). That is, the protective member (360) can be attached to a side of the battery (340) facing the second direction (-X direction). Through this structure, the protective member (360) can be spaced apart from the support member (320), so that the heat dissipation member (350) can freely extend from the area of ​​the circuit board assembly (330) to the area of ​​the battery (340) through the gap between the protective member (360) and the support member (320). In addition, since the protective member (360) and the battery (340) are attached to each other and the gap between the protective member (360) and the battery (340) can be eliminated, the space efficiency for mounting the battery (340) can be improved, and accordingly, the battery capacity can be expanded.

[0157] According to one embodiment, the protective member (360) may be attached to the cover member (343). For example, the protective member (360) may be attached to the first cover portion (3431). That is, the protective member (360) may be attached to a portion of the cover member (343) that faces the circuit board assembly (330).

[0158] According to one embodiment, when a worker mounts or replaces a battery (340), the protective member (360) may be pre-attached to the cover member (343) before the cover member (343) is wrapped around the battery body (341). For example, the protective member (360) may be provided integrally with the cover member (343). In this way, when a worker replaces a battery (340), the components for replacing the battery (340) may be simplified since the protective member (360) and the cover member (343) are provided as a set, and the step of the worker separately attaching the protective member (360) may be omitted, thereby reducing the difficulty of replacing the battery (340). In addition, when a worker replaces a battery (340), it is possible to reduce defects resulting from attaching the protective member (360) unevenly or not properly attaching the protective member (360).

[0159] In one embodiment, the protective member (360) and the cover member (343) may be one component of a "cover member assembly." For example, the cover member assembly may include the protective member (360) and the cover member (343). For example, the cover member assembly may be a unit supplied during the manufacturing process of the electronic device.

[0160] According to one embodiment, the protective member (360) can be attached to at least one of the first portion (343a) of the first cover portion (3431) or the second portion (343b) of the first cover portion (3431). For example, the protective member (360) can be attached to the first portion (343a) or the second portion (343b).

[0161] In one embodiment, the adhesion between the protective member (360) and the first part (343a) and the adhesion between the protective member (360) and the second part (343b) may be different. For example, the adhesion between the protective member (360) and the first part (343a) may be stronger than the adhesion between the protective member (360) and the second part (343b). In this case, when removing the battery (340), if the worker pulls the handle part (3435), the protective member (360) may be separated from the second part (343b) while remaining attached to the first part (343a). Through this, the protective member (360) together with the cover member (343) may be cleanly removed from the support member (320) and / or the heat dissipation member (350). On the other hand, if the adhesive force between the protective member (360) and the second part (343b) is stronger than the adhesive force between the protective member (360) and the first part (343a), when the worker pulls the handle part (3435), the protective member (360) can be separated from the first part (343a) while remaining attached to the second part (343b). In this case, the protective member (360) can be removed from the support member (320) and / or the heat dissipation member (350) together with the second part (343b) when the fourth cover part (3434) of the cover member (343) is finally separated from the support member (320) and / or the heat dissipation member (350).

[0162] Unlike the above, the protective member (360) may be attached to only one of the first portion (343a) or the second portion (343b). For example, the protective member (360) may be attached to the first portion (343a) or to the second portion (343b).

[0163] FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of an example of a configuration of a portion of an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of another example of a configuration of a portion of an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0164] Specifically, FIGS. 11 and 12 are cross-sectional views illustrating a portion of a battery (340) of an electronic device (301) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, taken along line A-A' of FIG. 5.

[0165] In one embodiment, the protective member (360) may be attached to the battery (340). For example, the protective member (360) may be attached to the battery (340) (e.g., the first cover portion (3431) of the cover member (343)) via a double-sided tape (T2). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the protective member (360) may be attached to the battery (340) via an adhesive, may be attached to the battery (340) via welding, or may be attached to the battery (340) via a separate mechanical joining mechanism.

[0166] According to one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 11, the protective member (360) may include a laminated structure (LS). The laminated structure (LS) may be configured by stacking multiple layers from the battery (340) toward the circuit board assembly (e.g., the circuit board assembly (330) of FIG. 7). For example, the laminated structure (LS) may be configured by any combination of multiple layers having different properties. Since the laminated structure (LS) is configured by stacking multiple layers, the battery (340) can be effectively protected from various types of physical impacts.

[0167] According to one embodiment, the laminated structure (LS) may include a first layer (361). The first layer (361) may include a flexible material. For example, the first layer (361) may be composed of a material such as sponge or rubber. Referring to FIG. 11, the first layer (361) may be composed of a single layer of the flexible material. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the first layer (361) may also be composed of multiple layers of the flexible material.

[0168] In one embodiment, the first layer (361) may be advantageous in protecting the battery (340) from physical pressure from a circuit board assembly (e.g., the circuit board assembly (330) of FIG. 7) or a wide area of ​​other electronic components (e.g., the edge of the circuit board assembly (330) of FIG. 7) facing the battery (340). For example, when a large area of ​​external pressure is applied to the protective member (360), the first layer (361) may act as a cushion. This may prevent the battery (340) from being pressed or crushed due to a large area of ​​external pressure applied to one area of ​​the battery (340). However, the first layer (361) may also protect the battery (340) from a narrow area of ​​external pressure from the circuit board assembly (330) or other electronic components facing the battery (340).

[0169] In one embodiment, the laminated structure (LS) may include a second layer (362). The second layer (362) may include a rigid material. The second layer (362) may be a film layer of the rigid material. For example, the second layer (362) may be composed of a rigid material such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and tape to tape (TTI).

[0170] In one embodiment, the second layer (362) may also be advantageous in protecting the battery (340) from physical pressure from a narrow portion of the circuit board assembly (330) or other electronic components facing the battery (340) (e.g., a protruding portion (not shown) from the circuit board assembly (330) of FIG. 7). For example, when a narrow area of ​​external pressure is applied to the protective member (360), the narrow area of ​​external pressure may be widely distributed by the rigid material of the second layer (362). This may prevent the pressure from being concentrated on one point of the battery (340) and causing the battery (340) to be dented or crushed. However, this does not exclude the second layer (362) from protecting the battery (340) from a wide area of ​​external pressure from the circuit board assembly (330) or other electronic components facing the battery (340).

[0171] In one embodiment, the second layer (362) may be laminated on the first layer (361). For example, a layer of a flexible material may be disposed between the layer of a rigid material and the battery (340). That is, it can be understood that the first layer (361) of the flexible material acts as a cushion for the second layer (362) of the rigid material. Through this arrangement, when a narrow-area external pressure is applied to the second layer (362), the narrow-area external pressure is distributed by the second layer (362) and converted into a wide-area pressure, and then acts on the first layer (361) which is advantageous for the wide-area pressure. Through this, the battery (340) can be effectively protected. In addition, since the first layer (361) acts as a cushion for the second layer (362), the problem of the second layer (362) being damaged by the narrow-area external pressure can be prevented. However, without being limited thereto, the second layer (362), which is a layer of a hard material, may be placed between the first layer (361) of a soft material and the battery (340).

[0172] In one embodiment, the second layer (362) may be bonded to the first layer (361). For example, the second layer (362) may be bonded to the first layer (361) by a double-sided tape (T3). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the second layer (362) may be bonded to the first layer (361) by welding, or may be joined to the first layer (361) by a separate mechanical mechanism. In addition, the second layer (362) and the first layer (361) may be formed integrally through an injection molding process.

[0173] In one embodiment, the protective member (360) may include a third layer (363). In one embodiment, the third layer (363) may be laminated on the second layer (362). The third layer (363) may include a rigid material. The specific composition of the third layer (363) may be the same as or similar to that of the second layer (362). The second layer (362) and the third layer (363) may be understood as two layers of the rigid material. In this way, as the third layer (363) is laminated on the second layer (362), external pressure can be repeatedly distributed, so that the battery (340) can be protected more effectively. In addition, the third layer (363) reinforces the second layer (362), thereby more effectively preventing the layer of the rigid material from being damaged by external pressure over a narrow area.

[0174] In one embodiment, the third layer (363) may be bonded to the second layer (362). For example, the third layer (363) may be bonded to the second layer (362) by a double-sided tape (T4). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the third layer (363) may be bonded to the second layer (362) by welding, or may be joined to the second layer (362) by a separate mechanical mechanism.

[0175] Above, the protective member (360) has been described as an example of a structure including a first layer (361) of a soft material, a second layer (362) of a hard material, and a third layer (363) of a hard material, but some of these layers may be omitted and the use of additional layers is not excluded.

[0176] Meanwhile, according to one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 12, the protective member (360) may include a flexible material. For example, the protective member (360) may be composed of a single layer of a flexible material or multiple layers of a flexible material. That is, the protective member (360) may be understood as being composed of a flexible material without a hard material. Even if the protective member (360) is composed of a flexible material, if its thickness is sufficient, the battery (340) can be effectively protected from external pressure over a wide area and / or external pressure over a narrow area. In addition, when the protective member (360) is composed of a single layer of a flexible material, the manufacturing efficiency of the protective member (360) can be improved.

[0177] FIG. 13 is a plan view of a portion of a configuration of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of a configuration of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0178] Hereinafter, the detailed configuration of an electronic device (401) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure that is not described may be understood to be the same as the detailed configuration of an electronic device (301) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 12.

[0179] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (401) may include a protective member (460). The protective member (460) may be positioned such that at least a portion thereof is adjacent to a side of the battery (440) facing the circuit board assembly (430). For example, a portion of the protective member (460) may be positioned adjacent to a side of the battery (440) facing a second direction (-X direction), and another portion of the protective member (460) may be positioned adjacent to a side facing a thickness direction side (+Z direction) of the battery (440). That is, the protective member (460) may be provided along a side of the battery (440) facing the second direction (-X direction) and a side facing a thickness direction side (+Z direction) of the battery (440).

[0180] According to one embodiment, the protective member (460) may include a first protective portion (460a). The first protective portion (460a) may be positioned adjacent to a side of the battery (440) facing the circuit board assembly (430). The first protective portion (460a) may be a portion positioned between the battery (440) and the circuit board assembly (430). The first protective portion (460a) may be a portion that protects the battery (440) from physical impact, such as from the circuit board assembly (430).

[0181] According to one embodiment, the first protection member (460a) may extend along the side of the battery (440). The first protection member (460a) may extend in a direction extending the space between the circuit board assembly (430) and the battery (440). For example, the protection member (460) may be understood to extend in the third direction (+Y direction) and / or the fourth direction (-Y direction). However, when the side of the battery (440) facing the circuit board assembly (430) is not a straight line, the first protection member (460a) may extend along the side of the battery (440) facing the circuit board assembly (430).

[0182] In one embodiment, the extended length of the first protection portion (460a) may be longer than the length of the edge of the circuit board assembly (430) facing the battery (440). The edge of the circuit board assembly (430) facing the battery (440) may be understood to overlap the first protection portion (460a) in a horizontal direction. Through this, the first protection portion (460a) may protect the battery (440) from physical impact by the edge of the circuit board assembly (430).

[0183] According to one embodiment, the protective member (460) may include a laminated structure (LS). The laminated structure (LS) may be formed only on a portion of the protective member (460). For example, the laminated structure (LS) may be provided on the first protective portion (460a). The specific configuration of the laminated structure (LS) may be the same as the specific configuration of the laminated structure (LS) of the electronic device (301) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure described with reference to FIG. 11. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the protective member (460) may not include the laminated structure (LS). For example, the first protective portion (460a) may be formed of a single layer of a flexible material, similar to the protective member (360) of the electronic device (301) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure described with reference to FIG. 12.

[0184] In one embodiment, the protective member (460) may include a second protective portion (460b). The second protective portion (460b) may be positioned adjacent to a surface facing the opposite side of the support member (420) of the battery (440). For example, the second protective portion (460b) may be positioned adjacent to a surface facing one side (+Z direction) of the battery (440) in the thickness direction.

[0185] In one embodiment, the second protection member (460b) may be connected to the first protection member (460a). For example, the second protection member (460b) may be connected to the first protection member (460a) by a bending member (460c).

[0186] In one embodiment, the second protective member (460b) may include a flexible material. For example, the second protective member (460b) may be composed of a sponge or rubber. The second protective member (460b) may be an extended portion of the first layer (461) of the laminated structure (LS) provided on the first protective member (460a). Referring to FIG. 14, the second protective member (460b) may have a structure in which two layers of the flexible material are laminated. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the second protective member (460b) may be composed of a single layer of the flexible material, or may be composed of three or more layers of the flexible material.

[0187] Unlike the above, the second protection member (460b) may include a layer of a rigid material. For example, the layer of a rigid material may be disposed between the layer of a flexible material and the battery. In this case, the adhesion between the second protection member (460b) and the battery (440) may be further improved. In addition, the layer of a rigid material may be disposed on the layer of a flexible material. Specifically, when other electronic components are present on one side (+Z direction) of the battery (440) in the thickness direction, the battery (440) may need to be protected from the other electronic components. In this case, when the layer of a rigid material is disposed on the layer of a flexible material, the battery (340) can be effectively protected from external pressure and / or external pressure in a narrow area, similar to the laminated structure (LS) described above with reference to FIG. 11.

[0188] In one embodiment, the protective member (460) may include a bend portion (460c). The bend portion (460c) may form a bend portion between the first protective member (460a) and the second protective member (460b). For example, one side of the bend portion (460c) may be connected to the first protective member (460a), and the other side of the bend portion (460c) may be connected to the second protective member (460b).

[0189] In one embodiment, the bending portion (460c) may include a flexible material. Since the bending portion (460c) is composed of a flexible material, the first protective portion (460a) may be bent relative to the second protective portion (460b). The bending portion (460c) may be an extended portion of the first layer (461) of the laminated structure (LS) of the first protective portion (460a).

[0190] According to one embodiment, the thickness of the bending portion (460c) may be thinner than the thicknesses of the first protection portion (460a) and the second protection portion (460b). Specifically, the first protection portion (460a) may be bent at the bending portion (460c) relative to the second protection portion (460b) and may be adjacent to the side surface of the battery (440). At this time, since the thickness of the second protection portion (460b) is provided to be relatively thin, the first protection portion (460a) and / or the second protection portion (460b) may be prevented from being separated from the battery (440) due to the elastic reaction force of the bending portion (460c).

[0191] According to one embodiment, at least one of the first protection member (460a) or the second protection member (460b) may be attached to the battery (440). For example, the second protection member (460b) may be attached to the battery (440). The second protection member (460b) may be attached to a surface facing the opposite side of the support member (420) of the battery (440). It may be understood that the second protection member (460b) is attached to a surface facing one side (+Z direction) of the battery (440) in the thickness direction. Specifically, in the process of attaching the protection member (460) to the battery (440), a process of pressing the protection member (460) toward the battery (440) may be required. At this time, since the durability of the battery (440) against external pressure may be stronger in the thickness direction than in the lateral direction, it may be effective to attach the second protective member (460b) to a surface facing one side (+Z direction) of the battery (440) in the thickness direction by applying pressure in the thickness direction of the battery (440).

[0192] According to one embodiment, the second protective member (460b) may be attached to the battery (440) (e.g., the second cover member (4432) of the cover member (443)) via a double-sided tape (T2). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the protective member (460) may be attached to the battery (440) via an adhesive, may be attached to the battery (440) via welding, or may be attached to the battery (440) via a separate mechanical joining mechanism.

[0193] According to one embodiment, the first protection member (460a) may be folded from the second protection member (460b) and brought into close contact with the side of the battery (440) facing the circuit board assembly (430). For example, referring to FIG. 14, before assembling the battery (440) to the electronic device (401), the protection member (460) attached to the cover member (443) (e.g., the second cover member (4432)) may be in an unfolded state. Thereafter, in the process of assembling the battery (440) to the electronic device (401), the first protection member (460a) of the protection member (460) may be folded and brought into close contact with the side of the battery (440) facing the second direction (-X direction), and then the battery (440) may be attached to the support member (420) and / or the heat dissipation member (450).

[0194] Unlike the above, both the first protection part (460a) and the second protection part (460b) may be attached to the battery (440). For example, the second protection part (460b) may be attached to a side of the battery (440) facing a thickness direction (+Z direction), and the first protection part (460a) may be attached to a side of the battery (440) facing a second direction (-X direction). However, even in this case, during the process of assembling the battery (440) to the electronic device (401), the attachment between the second protection part (460b) and the battery (440) may be performed before the attachment between the first protection part (460a) and the battery (440). The adhesion between the second protection part (460b) and the battery (440) may be main adhesion, and the adhesion between the first protection part (460a) and the battery (440) may be sub adhesion. As described above, the endurance of the battery (440) against external pressure may be stronger in the thickness direction than in the lateral direction. Therefore, it may be preferable that the attachment of the second protective member (460b), which requires pressure in the thickness direction, is performed first, and in this state, the first protective member (460a) is attached to the battery (440) only to a level that guides the position of the first protective member (460a).

[0195] According to one embodiment, the protective member (460) may be attached to the cover member (443). For example, the second protective member (460b) may be attached to the outer circumferential surface of the second cover member (4432) that at least partially covers a surface facing one side (+Z direction) in the thickness direction of the battery body (441).

[0196] According to one embodiment, the second protection portion (460b) can be attached to at least one of the first portion (443a) of the second cover portion (4432) or the second portion (443b) of the second cover portion (4432). For example, the second protection portion (460b) can be attached to the first portion (443a) or the second portion (443b).

[0197] In one embodiment, the adhesion between the second protective portion (460b) and the first portion (443a) and the adhesion between the protective member (460) and the second portion (443b) may be different. For example, the adhesion between the second protective portion (460b) and the first portion (443a) may be stronger than the adhesion between the second protective portion (460b) and the second portion (443b). In this case, when removing the battery (440), if the worker pulls the handle portion (4435), the second protective portion (460b) of the protective member (460) may be separated from the second portion (443b) while remaining attached to the first portion (443a). Through this, the protective member (460) together with the cover member (443) may be cleanly removed from the support member (420) and / or the heat dissipation member (450). On the other hand, if the adhesive force between the second protective portion (460b) and the second part (443b) is stronger than the adhesive force between the protective member (460) and the first part (443a), when the worker pulls the handle part (4435), the second protective portion (460b) of the protective member (460) can be separated from the first part (443a) while remaining attached to the second part (443b). In this case, the protective member (460) can be removed from the support member (420) and / or the heat dissipation member (450) together with the second part (443b) when the fourth cover part (4434) of the cover member (443) is finally separated from the support member (420) and / or the heat dissipation member (450).

[0198] Unlike the above, the second protection portion (460b) may be attached to only one of the first portion (443a) or the second portion (443b). For example, the second protection portion (460b) may be attached to the first portion (443a) or the second portion (443b).

[0199] Fig. 15 is a cross-sectional view of an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 16 is a cross-sectional view of an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0200] Specifically, FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which a battery (540) is assembled into an electronic device (501), and FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which a battery (540) is assembled into an electronic device (501) or a state in which a battery (540) is removed from an electronic device (501).

[0201] Hereinafter, the detailed configuration of an electronic device (501) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure that is not described may be understood to be the same as the detailed configuration of an electronic device (301) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 12 and the detailed configuration of an electronic device (401) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14.

[0202] According to one embodiment, the heat dissipation member (550) may include a sub-heat dissipation member (553). The sub-heat dissipation member (553) may be disposed on a surface of the heat dissipation member (550) facing the circuit board assembly (530). The sub-heat dissipation member (553) may be disposed on a surface facing one side (+Z direction) in the thickness direction of the heat dissipation member (550). For example, the sub-heat dissipation member (553) may be disposed on a surface facing one side (+Z direction) in the thickness direction of the first heat dissipation portion (551) of the heat dissipation member (550).

[0203] According to one embodiment, the sub-heat dissipation member (553) can exchange heat with a heat source. The heat source can be, for example, an electronic component or a battery (540) mounted on the circuit board assembly (530). For example, the sub-heat dissipation member (553) can release heat generated from a processor (e.g., processor 9120 of FIG. 1)) disposed on the circuit board assembly (530). The sub-heat dissipation member (553) can be understood to perform the same or similar role as the heat dissipation member (550) and to complement (or assist) the heat dissipation function of the heat dissipation member (550).

[0204] According to one embodiment, the sub-heat dissipation member (553) may be a pad made of graphite. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the sub-heat dissipation member (553) of the electronic device (501) may preferably be made of graphite, which is a flexible material, since the extension portion (5532) must be bent from the body portion (5531) during the assembly process of the electronic device (501). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and if bending is possible, the sub-heat dissipation member (553) may be provided with a vapor chamber.

[0205] According to one embodiment, the sub-heat dissipation member (553) may include a body portion (5531). The body portion (5531) may be positioned between the heat dissipation member (550) and the circuit board assembly (530). The body portion (5531) may overlap at least a portion of the circuit board assembly (530) in the thickness direction (+Z direction and / or -Z direction).

[0206] According to one embodiment, the sub-heat dissipation member (553) may include an extension portion (5532). The extension portion (5532) may extend from an edge of the body portion (5531) on the battery (540) side in an opposite direction of the support member (520). For example, the extension portion (5532) may extend from an edge of the body portion (5531) on the first direction (+X direction) side in a thickness direction on one side (+Z direction). The extension portion (5532) may extend from an edge of the body portion (5531) on the battery (540) side between the circuit board assembly (530) and the battery (540). It can be understood that the extension portion (5532) is a portion that extends in a first direction (+X direction) from the body portion (5531) before the battery (540) is assembled into the electronic device (501) and is bent in one direction in the thickness direction (+Z direction) during the process of assembling the battery (540) into the electronic device (501). Since the sub-heat dissipation member (553) includes the extension portion (5532) that additionally extends from the body portion (5531), the heat dissipation area can be expanded, and thus the heat dissipation performance of the electronic device (501) can be improved.

[0207] In one embodiment, the extension (5532) can be positioned adjacent to the battery (540). The extension (5532) can be positioned between the protective member (560) and the battery (540). The extension (5532) can be pressed against and in close contact with the side of the battery (540) facing the circuit board assembly (530).

[0208] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (501) may include a protective member (560). The protective member (560) may be disposed between the battery (540) and the circuit board assembly (530). The protective member (560) may be disposed adjacent to a surface of the extension (5532) facing the circuit board assembly (530) (e.g., a surface of the extension (5532) facing the second direction (−X direction)) when the extension (5532) is bent.

[0209] In one embodiment, the protective member (560) can be attached to the extension (5532). The protective member (560) can be attached to a side of the extension (5532) facing the circuit board assembly (530). The protective member (560) can be attached to a side of the extension (5532) facing the second direction (-X direction).

[0210] In one embodiment, for example, the protective member (560) may be attached to the extension (5532) via a double-sided tape (T2). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the protective member (560) may be attached to the extension (5532) via an adhesive, may be attached to the extension (5532) via welding, or may be attached to the extension (5532) via a separate mechanical joining mechanism.

[0211] According to one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 16, the protective member (560) can be attached to the extension portion (5532) in a state in which the extension portion (5532) is not bent. In this state, when the extension portion (5532) is bent relative to the body portion (5531) and the battery (540) is placed on the support member (520), the extension portion (5532) can be kept in a bent state by being in close contact with the battery (540) while leaning against it, as illustrated in FIG. 15. When the extension portion (5532) is bent relative to the body portion (5531), the protective member (560) can be placed between the circuit board assembly (530) and the battery (540), and the protective member (560) can protect the battery (540) from physical impact of the circuit board assembly (530).

[0212] In this way, since the protective member (560) is first attached to the sub-heat dissipation member (553), and then the protective member (560) can be placed between the circuit board assembly (530) and the battery (540) by simply bending the sub-heat dissipation member (553), the assembly of the protective member (560) can be facilitated.

[0213] According to one embodiment, the protective member (560) may include a laminated structure (LS). The laminated structure (LS) may be understood to be the same as the laminated structure (LS) of the electronic device (301) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure and / or the laminated structure (LS) of the electronic device (401) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. However, unlike the laminated structure (LS) of the electronic device (501) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure and / or the laminated structure (LS) of the electronic device (301) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure and / or the laminated structure (LS) of the electronic device (401) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the laminated structure (LS) of the electronic device (501) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may be in close contact with the sub-heat dissipation member (553) (e.g., the extension portion (5532) of the sub-heat dissipation member (553).

[0214] Above, the extension (5532) of the sub-heat dissipation member (553) has been described as having a configuration distinct from the laminated structure (LS), but it may also be understood that the extension (5532) constitutes one layer of the laminated structure (LS). For example, the laminated structure (LS) may include the extension (5532) arranged on the battery (540) side of the first layer (561), and the first layer (561) may be laminated on the extension (5532).

[0215] Meanwhile, according to one embodiment, as described with respect to FIG. 12, the protective member (560) may be composed of a single layer of a flexible material or multiple layers of a flexible material.

[0216] In electronic devices, a battery is placed in close proximity to the circuit board assembly to supply power to the circuit board assembly. The battery may face the edges of the circuit board assembly or the protrusions formed by the design of the circuit board assembly. If an external shock is applied to the electronic device, the positions of the circuit board assembly or the battery may be partially displaced, which may cause a physical shock to the battery, which may cause a battery fire or leakage. Therefore, a structure that can protect the battery from external pressure or shock from the circuit board assembly is required. Conventionally, a rib structure protruding from a support member and the circuit board assembly has been used to protect the battery from external shocks originating from the circuit board assembly. However, this conventional rib structure creates a gap between the rib and the battery, which reduces the space efficiency of the internal space of the electronic device, thereby limiting the increase in battery capacity. Furthermore, because the rib structure protrudes from the support member, there is a structural limitation in that the heat dissipation element is provided only in the circuit board assembly area and does not extend into the battery area, which limits the improvement of heat dissipation performance.

[0217] The problem to be solved in the present disclosure is to provide a structure that can effectively protect a battery from physical impact by electronic components such as a circuit board assembly.

[0218] The problem to be solved in the present disclosure is to provide a structure that can improve space efficiency within an electronic device and increase battery capacity.
