[0062] According to one embodiment, a window may be installed on the front of the display (90). The window may be formed of a transparent material, allowing a user to view the display (90) through the window. The transparent material of the window may be used to protect the display (90).

[0063] According to one embodiment, a heat spreading member (20) (or heat dissipation / sink member / element) may be partially or fully disposed between the support plate (11) and the display (90). At least a portion (23) of the heat spreading member (20) (see FIG. 5) may be accommodated in an opening (113) (see FIG. 5) of the support plate (11). The heat spreading member (20) may be supported by a first face (111) (see FIG. 5) of the support plate (11). For example, the remaining portion (24) (see FIG. 5) of the heat spreading member (20) that is not accommodated in the opening (113) may be supported by the first face (111) of the support plate (11). The heat spreading member (20) may be supported by the first face (111) of the support plate (11) in which the opening (113) is formed. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the remaining portion (24) of the heat spreading member (20) may be supported by the lower portion of the step structure of the first surface (111) (i.e., the portion of the first surface (111) corresponding to the first wide portion of the opening (113).

[0064] According to one embodiment, the heat diffusion member (20) can be attached to the first side (111) of the support plate (11). The heat diffusion member (20) can be attached to the first side (111) of the support plate (11) by various methods. For example, the heat diffusion member (20) can be attached to the first side (111) of the support plate (11) by a double-sided tape (25).

[0065] According to one embodiment, referring to FIG. 3, the heat spreading member (20) may include a first heat spreading portion (21) and a second heat spreading portion (22). The first heat spreading portion (21) may be spaced apart from the second heat spreading portion (22). For example, when viewed from the top of the display (90), the first heat spreading portion (21) may be arranged to overlap the processor (130). For example, the first heat spreading portion (21) may be arranged above the processor (130) in the +Z-axis direction. When viewed from the top of the display (90), the second heat spreading portion (22) may be arranged to overlap the battery (30) (e.g., the battery (171) of FIG. 1) on one side (e.g., in the -Y-axis direction) of the first heat spreading portion (21). For example, the second heat diffusion portion (22) may be placed on the upper side of the battery (30) in the +Z-axis direction so that their footprints overlap each other.

[0066] According to one embodiment, the second heat spreading portion (22) may include at least a portion (23) accommodated within an opening (113) of the support plate (11).

[0067] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may further include a heat transfer member (70). The heat transfer member (70) may be disposed between the display (90) and the support plate (11). For example, a portion of the heat transfer member (70) may overlap a heat diffusion member (20) installed on a first surface (111) of the support plate (11). For example, a portion of the heat transfer member (70) may be in contact with the heat diffusion member (20).

[0068] According to one embodiment, the heat transfer member (70) may be formed so as to transfer heat generated from the electronic component to the heat diffusion member (20). For example, the heat transfer member (70) may be formed so as to transfer heat generated from the processor (130) controlling the electronic device (101) to the heat diffusion member (20).

[0069] According to one embodiment, the heat transfer member (70) may be formed of graphite. However, this is merely an example, and the heat transfer member (70) is not limited thereto. The heat transfer member (70) may be formed of various materials as long as it can transfer heat generated from the electronic component to the heat diffusion member (20).

[0070] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may include a lower cover (80). The lower cover (80) may be formed to cover the lower side of the housing (10). A camera module (184) may be positioned in the lower cover (80). The camera module (184) is accommodated in the housing (10), and a portion of the camera module (184) may be exposed to the outside through the lower cover (80).

[0071] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may include a battery (30). For example, the battery (30) may be installed on the second side (112) of the support plate (11). The battery (30) may be positioned between the support plate (11) and the lower cover (80). The battery (30) may be attached to the second side (112) of the support plate (11).

[0072] According to one embodiment, the interior of the housing (10) may accommodate a printed circuit board and a connector installed on the printed circuit board. For example, the printed circuit board may include a flexible printed circuit board. For example, the connector may include a flexible printed circuit board connector.

[0073] According to one embodiment, a processor (130) controlling an electronic device (101) may be disposed on a printed circuit board. For example, the processor (130) may control a display (90), a camera module (184), or the like.

[0074] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the arrangement of the support plate (11), the heat diffusion member (20), or the battery (30) of the electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail.

[0075] FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 6 is a rear view illustrating the electronic device (101) of FIG. 5 with the battery (30) separated.

[0076] Referring to FIG. 5, an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure may include a support plate (11), a heat spreading member (20), and a battery (30). For reference, FIG. 5 shows a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 4 with the display (90) and the lower cover (80) removed.

[0077] According to one embodiment, the support plate (11) may include a first side (111) and a second side (112). The second side (112) may be formed to be opposite to the first side (111). For example, the support plate (11) may include an opening (113). The opening (113) may be formed to penetrate the first side (111) and the second side (112), for example, at approximately the center of the support plate (11).

[0078] A display (90) may be placed on the first side (111) of the support plate (11). A battery (30) may be placed on the second side (112) of the support plate (11).

[0079] A heat diffusion member (20) may be installed on a first surface (111) of a support plate (11). The heat diffusion member (20) may be disposed between the display (90) and the support plate (11). At least a portion (23) of the heat diffusion member (20) may be accommodated in an opening (113) of the support plate (11). For example, at least a portion (23) of the heat diffusion member (20) may protrude into the opening (113). At least a portion (23) of the heat diffusion member (20) protruding into the opening (113) is referred to as a protrusion. The lower surface of the protrusion (23) may not protrude lower than the second surface (112) of the support plate (11). For example, a constant gap (G) may exist between the lower surface of the protrusion (23) and the second surface (112) of the support plate (11).

[0080] The heat diffusion member (20) may be supported by the first surface (111) of the support plate (11). For example, a portion (24) of the heat diffusion member (20) that is not accommodated in the opening (113) may be supported by the first surface (111) of the support plate (11). Hereinafter, the portion (24) of the heat diffusion member (20) that is not accommodated in the opening (113) is referred to as a support portion.

[0081] According to one embodiment, the support (24) of the heat diffusion member (20) may be provided around the protrusion (23).

[0082] According to one embodiment, the heat diffusion member (20) may be formed as a vapor chamber. However, the heat diffusion member (20) is not limited thereto. The heat diffusion member (20) may be formed in various structures as long as it is capable of diffusing heat.

[0083] The heat diffusion member (20) can be attached to the first surface (111) of the support plate (11). For example, the support portion (24) of the heat diffusion member (20) that is not accommodated in the opening (113) can be attached to the first surface (111) of the support plate (11). The support portion (24) of the heat diffusion member (20) can be attached to the first surface (111) of the support plate (11) by various methods. For example, the support portion (24) of the heat diffusion member (20) can be attached to the first surface (111) of the support plate (11) by a double-sided tape (25).

[0084] In one embodiment, the battery (30) may be disposed below the support plate (11). For example, the battery (30) may be disposed on the second surface (112) of the support plate (11). The battery (30) may be supported at least in part by the second surface (112) of the support plate (11). For example, support of the battery (30) may be provided by an intermediate material so that the battery (30) does not come into direct contact with the second surface (112).

[0085] According to one embodiment, when the battery (30) is placed on the second surface (112) of the support plate (11), the upper surface (31) of the battery (30) may be spaced apart from the protrusion (23) of the heat diffusion member (20) installed in the opening (13) of the support plate (11) by a certain distance (G2). Accordingly, when the battery (30) is placed on the second surface (112) of the support plate (11), a space (S) surrounded by the support plate (11) may be formed below the protrusion (23) of the heat diffusion member (20) installed in the opening (113) of the support plate (11).

[0086] According to one embodiment, the battery (30) may be formed in a roughly rectangular parallelepiped shape. For example, the battery (30) may include an upper surface (31), a lower surface (32), and side surfaces. The upper surface (31) of the battery (30) may face the second surface (112) of the support plate (11). The lower surface (32) of the battery (30) may be formed to be opposite to the upper surface (31). The side surfaces of the battery (30) may be formed to connect the upper surface (31) and the lower surface (32) of the battery (30). For example, the side surfaces of the battery (30) may include four side surfaces, namely, a first side surface, a second side surface, a third side surface, and a fourth side surface. The first side surface and the third side surface may be formed to face each other, and the second side surface and the fourth side surface may be formed to face each other. For example, the first side surface and the third side surface may be formed to have a longer length than the second side surface and the fourth side surface.

[0087] According to one embodiment, a wrapping member (40) may be arranged on the outer surface of the battery (30). The wrapping member (40) may be formed so as to separate the battery (30) from the support plate (11).

[0088] According to one embodiment, the wrapping member (40) may be formed in a thin film shape. For example, the wrapping member (40) may be formed as a film having a thickness (t) of about 0.02 mm. The wrapping member (40) may be formed of a plastic material such as polyethylene (PE).

[0089] According to one embodiment, the wrapping member (40) may be installed to surround at least a portion of the battery (30). For example, the wrapping member (40) may be installed to surround the upper surface (31), the first side (33), the third side (34), and the lower surface (32) of the battery (30). In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the wrapping member (40) may be installed to surround a portion of the lower surface (32), the first side (33), the upper surface (31), and the third side (34). For example, both ends of the wrapping member (40) may be arranged to surround the left and right portions of the lower surface (32) of the battery (30). For example, the central portion between the left and right portions of the lower surface (32) of the battery (30) may not have the wrapping member (40) arranged therein.

[0090] However, the method of installing the wrapping member (40) is not limited thereto. The wrapping member (40) may be arranged in various ways as long as it can separate the battery (30) from the support plate (11). For example, the wrapping member (40) may be arranged to surround the entire outer circumference of the battery (30).

[0091] According to one embodiment, the wrapping member (40) may include a first region (421), a second region (422), a third region (423), and a fourth region (424). For example, the first region (421) of the wrapping member (40) may be positioned on or adjacent to (i.e., with a gap) the upper surface (31) of the battery (30) and may face the opening (113) of the support plate (11). The second region (422) may be positioned on the upper surface (31) of the battery (30) and may not overlap the opening (113) of the support plate (11). The third region (423) may be positioned on a side surface of the battery (30). For example, the third region (423) may surround the first side surface (33) and the third side surface (34) of the battery (30). The fourth region (424) may be located on the lower surface (32) of the battery (30). For example, the fourth region (424) may surround the left and right portions of the lower surface (32) of the battery (30).

[0092] According to one embodiment, the wrapping member (40) may include a first wrapping portion (41) that is adhered to the battery (30) and a second wrapping portion (42) (e.g., a first region (421)) that is not adhered to the battery (30).

[0093] According to one embodiment, the first wrapping portion (41) may adhere the wrapping member (40) to the battery (30) so that the wrapping member (40) is not completely separated from the battery (30). The first wrapping portion (41) may be located on the lower surface (32) of the battery (30). Accordingly, the fourth region (424) of the wrapping member (40) may form the first wrapping portion (41).

[0094] The first wrapping portion (41) can be bonded to the lower surface (32) of the battery (30) using a wrapping adhesive (411). Various adhesives can be used as the wrapping adhesive (411). For example, a double-sided tape can be used as the wrapping adhesive (411).

[0095] In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the first wrapping portion (41) may be positioned on the left and right sides of the lower surface (32) of the battery (30). The left side of the first wrapping portion (41) may be attached to the left side of the lower surface (32) of the battery (30) by wrapping adhesive (411). The right side of the first wrapping portion (41) may be attached to the right side of the lower surface (32) of the battery (30) by wrapping adhesive (411).

[0096] The second wrapping portion (42) may be a portion of the wrapping member (40) that wraps the upper surface (31) and the side surface of the battery (30). For example, the second wrapping portion (42) may wrap the upper surface (31), the first side surface (33), and the third side surface (34) of the battery (30). Accordingly, the first region (421), the second region (422), and the third region (433) of the wrapping member (40) may form the second wrapping portion (42).

[0097] For example, there may be no adhesive between the second wrapping portion (42) and the battery (30). In one embodiment, a wrapping adhesive (not shown) having a weaker adhesive strength than the wrapping adhesive (411) may be placed between the second wrapping portion (42) and the battery (30).

[0098] According to one embodiment, the battery (30) can be attached (e.g., suspended) to the heat diffusion member (20) by a wrapping member (40) and an adhesive member (50). The adhesive member (50) can be positioned between the upper surface (31) of the battery (30) and the heat diffusion member (20). For example, the adhesive member (50) can be positioned between the wrapping member (40) and the heat diffusion member (20). The adhesive member (50) can be formed in a flat shape, for example. For example, a double-sided tape can be used as the adhesive member (50).

[0099] According to one embodiment, the adhesive member (50) may be formed of a plurality of adhesive portions. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the adhesive member (50) may include a first adhesive portion (51) and a second adhesive portion (52) that are spaced apart from each other. The second adhesive portion (52) may be spaced apart from the first adhesive portion (51) in a direction substantially parallel to the support plate (11). Since the support plate (11) is arranged substantially parallel to the display (90), the first adhesive portion (51) and the second adhesive portion (52) may be spaced apart from each other in a direction substantially parallel to the display (90).

[0100] According to one embodiment, since the battery (30) is surrounded by the wrapping member (40), the adhesive member (50) can attach the wrapping member (40) to a portion of the heat diffusion member (20), for example, to the lower surface of the protrusion (23). The adhesive member (50) can be attached to the second wrapping portion (42) of the wrapping member (40). A portion of the second wrapping portion (42) where the adhesive member (50) is disposed is referred to as a first region (421). Accordingly, the adhesive member (50) can attach the first region (421) of the second wrapping portion (42) to at least a portion of the heat diffusion member (20).

[0101] According to one embodiment, when the heat diffusion member (20) and the battery (30) are pressed during the assembly process, the first area (421) of the second wrapping portion (42) can be attached to the lower surface of the heat diffusion member (20) by the adhesive member (50).

[0102] According to one embodiment, when the adhesive member (50) is placed on the protrusion (23) of the heat diffusion member (20), the lower surface of the adhesive member (50) may not protrude lower than the second surface (112) of the support plate (11). For example, a gap may exist between the lower surface of the adhesive member (50) and the second surface (112) of the support plate (11). For example, the thickness (T) of the adhesive member (50) may be smaller than the gap (G) between the protrusion (23) of the heat diffusion member (20) and the second surface (112) of the support plate (11).

[0103] According to one embodiment, the adhesive member (50) may be thicker than the thickness (t) of the wrapping member (40). For example, the thickness (T) of the adhesive member (50) may be about 0.05 mm.

[0104] According to one embodiment, when the second wrapping portion (42) of the wrapping member (40) is bonded to the heat spreading member (20) with the adhesive member (50), at least a portion of the second wrapping portion (42) may be spaced apart from the upper surface (31) of the battery (30). For example, the upper surface of the first region (421) of the second wrapping portion (42) may be positioned closer to the first surface (111) than to the second surface (112) of the support plate (11).

[0105] According to one embodiment, a portion of the battery (30) may be attached to the second surface (112) of the support plate (11). For example, a portion of the battery (30) that does not overlap the opening (113) of the support plate (11) may be attached to the second surface (112) of the support plate (11). Since the attachment of the battery (30) is accomplished by the second area (422) of the wrapping member (40), the upper surface (31) of the battery (30) may not directly contact the second surface (112) of the support plate (11).

[0106] According to one embodiment, the battery (30) can be attached to the second surface (112) of the support plate (11) by a sub-adhesive member (60). For example, the sub-adhesive member (60) can be positioned between the upper surface (31) of the battery (30) and the second surface (112) of the support plate (11). The sub-adhesive member (60) can be positioned between the second area (422) of the wrapping member (40) and the second surface (112) of the support plate (11), thereby attaching the second area (422) to the second surface (112).

[0107] Referring to FIG. 6, in one embodiment, the sub-adhesive member (60) may be disposed around the perimeter of the opening (113) of the support plate (11). For example, the sub-adhesive member (60) may be disposed to surround three sides of the opening (113). Accordingly, the sub-adhesive member (60) may be disposed around the perimeter of the adhesive member (50) disposed on the heat diffusion member (20) accommodated in the opening (113) of the support plate (11).

[0108] For example, a double-sided tape may be used as the sub-adhesive member (60). For example, the thickness of the sub-adhesive member (60) may be thinner than the thickness (T) of the adhesive member (50). Alternatively, the thickness of the sub-adhesive member (60) may be approximately the same as the thickness (T) of the adhesive member (50). For example, the sub-adhesive member (60) may be formed in a narrow strip shape.

[0109] Since the battery (30) is surrounded by the wrapping member (40), the sub-adhesive member (60) can attach the wrapping member (40) to the second surface (112) of the support plate (11). The sub-adhesive member (60) can be attached to the second area (422) of the wrapping member (40).

[0110] For example, a portion of the second wrapping portion (42) where the sub-adhesive member (60) is disposed may be referred to as a second region (422). In one embodiment, the second region (422) of the wrapping member (40) may not overlap with the opening (113) of the support plate (11). For example, the second region (422) of the wrapping member (40) may not face the opening (113) of the support plate (11). Accordingly, the sub-adhesive member (60) may adhere the second region (422) of the wrapping member (40) to a portion of the second surface (112) of the support plate (11).

[0111] For example, the second area (422) of the wrapping member (40) where the sub-adhesive member (60) is placed may be located around the first area (421) where the adhesive member (50) is installed.

[0112] According to one embodiment, the thickness (T) of the adhesive member (50) may be smaller than the gap (G1) between the lower surface of the protrusion (23) of the heat spreading member (20) and the second area (422) of the second wrapping portion (42) of the wrapping member (40) covering the upper surface (31) of the battery (30). For example, the thickness (T) of the adhesive member (50) may be smaller than a value obtained by subtracting the thickness (t) of the wrapping member (40) from the distance (G2) between the heat spreading member (20) and the upper surface (31) of the battery (30).

[0113] For example, the gap (G1) between the lower surface of the protrusion (23) of the heat diffusion member (20) and the second region (422) of the second wrapping portion (42) may be about 0.12 mm to about 0.15 mm. When the thickness (t) of the wrapping member (40) is about 0.02 mm, the gap (G2) between the lower surface of the protrusion (23) of the heat diffusion member (20) and the upper surface (31) of the battery (30) may be about 0.14 mm to about 0.17 mm. In this case, the thickness (T) of the adhesive member (50) may be about 0.05 mm.

[0114] Accordingly, when the first region (421) of the second wrapping portion (42) of the wrapping member (40) is attached to the protrusion (23) of the heat diffusion member (20) using the adhesive member (50), at least a portion of the first region (421) of the second wrapping portion (42) can be spaced apart from the upper surface (31) of the battery (30). For example, the first region (421) of the wrapping member (40) can be positioned closer to the protrusion (23) of the heat diffusion member (20) than the second region (422). For example, when the thickness (t) of the wrapping member (40) is about 0.02 mm and the thickness (T) of the adhesive member (50) is about 0.05 mm, the gap (or distance) (G3) between the lower surface of the first region (421) of the wrapping member (40) and the upper surface (31) of the battery (30) may be 0.07 mm to 0.10 mm.

[0115] According to one embodiment, when the first region (421) of the second wrapping portion (42) of the wrapping member (40) is attached to the protrusion (23) of the heat spreading member (20) by the adhesive member (50), the portion (425) between the first region (421) and the second region (422) of the wrapping member (40) can form an inclined surface (i.e., inclined with respect to the upper surface (31) of the battery (30) or the second region (422) of the wrapping member (40).

[0116] As a result of the second region (422) being attached to the second surface (112) of the support plate (11) and / or the first region (421) being attached to the protrusion (23) of the heat diffusion member (20), a tension can be applied to the portion (425) between the first region (421) and the second region (422) of the wrapping member (40). Accordingly, the battery (30) can be firmly fixed to the second surface (112) of the support plate (11) by the wrapping member (40).

[0117] In one embodiment, when the gap (G1) is less than about 0.12 mm, the tensile force acting between the first region (421) and the second region (422) of the wrapping member (40) may be small, which may reduce the effect of fixing the battery (30). In addition, when the gap (G1) is greater than about 0.15 mm, it may be difficult to minimize the thickness of the electronic device (101). Consequently, by providing the gap (G1) between about 0.12 mm and about 0.15 mm, a favorable balance can be achieved between the secure bonding of the battery (30) and the thickness of the battery array and the thickness of the electronic device (101). In addition, as described in more detail below, such a structural arrangement can reduce or prevent unintended contact between the battery (30) and the support plate (11) and / or the heat spreading member (20), which may occur when the electronic device (101) is dropped or subjected to other mechanical shocks.

[0118] An electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure having a structure as described above can overcome thickness variations of the support plate (11) and the heat diffusion member (20) that occur due to tolerances in the manufacturing process when manufacturing the support plate (11) and the heat diffusion member (20). In particular, the structure described above can accommodate such variations without affecting the overall structure or losing related advantages. This will be described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 7.

[0119] FIG. 7 is a drawing for explaining the dimensional relationship of an electronic device (101), and shows several problems that may occur in existing structures that are solved by embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0120] As an example, a case will be described where the design gap (hereinafter, space gap) (G1) between the lower surface of the protrusion (23) of the heat diffusion member (20) and the first area (421) of the second wrapping portion (42) located on the upper surface (31) of the battery (30) is 0.13 mm, the thickness (T1) of the support plate (11) is 0.27 ± 0.05 mm, the maximum value of the thickness (T2) of the heat diffusion member (20) is 0.27 mm, and the minimum value is 0.23 mm.

[0121] For example, when the thickness (T1) of the support plate (11) is maximum and the thickness (T2) of the heat diffusion member (20) is minimum, the actual space gap (G1) may be 0.22 mm (0.32 - 0.23 + 0.13). For example, when the thickness (T1) of the support plate (11) is minimum and the thickness (T2) of the heat diffusion member (20) is maximum, the actual space gap (G1) may be 0.08 mm (0.22 - 0.27 + 0.13).

[0122] When fixing the battery (30) with an adhesive member (50), the adhesive member (50) must be able to be compressed from 0.22 mm to 0.08 mm due to possible differences in the gap (G1). If the adhesive member (50) is a double-sided tape, a double-sided tape having such compression characteristics does not currently exist or is very difficult to manufacture.

[0123] In the electronic device (101) according to the present disclosure, the protrusion (23) of the heat diffusion member (20) and the first area (421) of the second wrapping portion (42) of the wrapping member (40) wrapping the battery (30) are joined using an adhesive member (50) having a thickness equal to or smaller than the minimum space gap (G1) (for example, T=0.05 mm), so that the wrapping member (40) is tensioned to compensate for the change in the actual space gap (G1). Therefore, the electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure can overcome the thickness deviation of the support plate (11) and the thickness deviation of the heat diffusion member (20) that occur during manufacturing without relying on an adhesive member having a compressive characteristic that is difficult to achieve.

[0124] In addition, the electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure can reduce the occurrence of damage to components contained inside the electronic device (101) when dropped due to the arrangement and attachment of the wrapping member (40) without considering other components.

[0125] FIG. 8 is a drawing showing an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0126] Referring to FIG. 8, an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure may include a support plate (11), a heat spreading member (20), a battery (30), and a wrapping member (40).

[0127] The support plate (11), heat diffusion member (20), and battery (30) of the electronic device (101) according to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 8 are substantially the same as those of the electronic device (101) described above, so redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0128] According to one embodiment, the wrapping member (40) may be arranged on the outer surface of the battery (30). The wrapping member (40) may be formed so as to separate the battery (30) from the support plate (11).

[0129] According to one embodiment, the wrapping member (40) may be formed in a thin film shape. For example, the wrapping member (40) may be formed as a film having a thickness (t) of about 0.02 mm. The wrapping member (40) may be formed of a plastic material such as polyethylene (PE).

[0130] According to one embodiment, the wrapping member (40) may be installed to surround at least a portion of the battery (30). For example, the wrapping member (40) may be installed to surround the upper surface (31), the first side (33), the third side (34), and the lower surface (32) of the battery (30). In the embodiment of FIG. 8, the wrapping member (40) may be installed to surround a portion of the lower surface (32), the first side (33), the upper surface (31), and the third side (34) of the battery (30). For example, both ends of the wrapping member (40) may be arranged to surround the left and right portions of the lower surface (32) of the battery (30). For example, the central portion between the left and right portions of the lower surface (32) of the battery (30) may not have the wrapping member (40) arranged therein.

[0131] According to one embodiment, the wrapping member (40) may include a first region (421), a second region (422), a third region (423), and a fourth region (424). For example, the first region (421) of the wrapping member (40) may be positioned on the upper surface (31) of the battery (30) and may face the opening (113) of the support plate (11). The second region (422) may be positioned on the upper surface (31) of the battery (30) and may not overlap with the opening (113) of the support plate (11). The third region (423) may be positioned on a side surface of the battery (30). For example, the third region (423) may surround the first side surface (33) and the third side surface (34) of the battery (30). The fourth region (424) may be positioned on the lower surface (32) of the battery (30). For example, the fourth region (424) may surround the left and right portions of the lower surface (32) of the battery (30).

[0132] According to one embodiment, the wrapping member (40) may include a first wrapping portion (41) that is adhered to the battery (30) and a second wrapping portion (42) that is not adhered to the battery (30).

[0133] According to one embodiment, the first wrapping portion (41) may adhere the wrapping member (40) to the battery (30) so that the wrapping member (40) adheres to the battery (30). For example, the first wrapping portion (41) may be positioned on a portion of the lower surface (32), the first side surface (33), the third side surface (34), and the upper surface (31) of the battery (30). Accordingly, the second region (422), the third region (423), and the fourth region (424) of the wrapping member (40) may form the first wrapping portion (41).

[0134] For example, the first wrapping portion (41) may include a second area (422) that does not overlap with the opening (113) of the support plate (11). The second area (422) of the first wrapping portion (41) may not overlap with the opening (113) of the support plate (11).

[0135] For example, the first wrapping portion (41) may include a third area (423) located on the side of the battery (30). The third area (423) of the first wrapping portion (41) may be located on the first side (33) and the third side (34) of the battery (30).

[0136] For example, the first wrapping portion (41) may include a fourth region (424) located on the lower surface (32) of the battery (30). The fourth region (424) of the first wrapping portion (41) may be located on the left and right portions of the lower surface (32) of the battery (30).

[0137] According to one embodiment, the first wrapping portion (41) can be bonded to the battery (30) by a wrapping adhesive (411). For example, the second region (422), the third region (423), and the fourth region (424) of the first wrapping portion (41) can be bonded to the battery (30) by the wrapping adhesive (411).

[0138] For example, the second area (422) of the first wrapping portion (41) can be attached to one area of ​​the upper surface (31) of the battery (30) by the wrapping adhesive (411). The third area (423) of the first wrapping portion (41) can be attached to the first side (33) and the third side (34) of the battery (30) by the wrapping adhesive (411). The fourth area (424) of the first wrapping portion (41) can be attached to the left and right areas of the lower surface (32) of the battery (30) by the wrapping adhesive (411).

[0139] According to one embodiment, various adhesives may be used as the wrapping adhesive (411). For example, double-sided tape may be used as the wrapping adhesive (411).

[0140] According to one embodiment, the second wrapping portion (42) may be a portion of the wrapping member (40) facing the opening (113) of the support plate (11). For example, the first region (421) of the wrapping member (40) may form the second wrapping portion (42).

[0141] For example, there may be no adhesive (411) between the second wrapping portion (42) and the battery (30). In one embodiment, a wrapping adhesive (not shown) having a weaker adhesive strength than the wrapping adhesive (411) may be placed between the second wrapping portion (42) and the battery (30).

[0142] According to one embodiment, the battery (30) may be attached to the heat diffusion member (20) by a wrapping member (40) and an adhesive member (50). The adhesive member (50) may be positioned between the upper surface (31) of the battery (30) and the heat diffusion member (20). For example, the adhesive member (50) may be positioned between the wrapping member (40) and the heat diffusion member (20). Since the adhesive member (50) is substantially the same as the adhesive member (50) according to the above-described embodiment, a duplicate description will be omitted.

[0143] Although FIG. 8 describes a case where the second region (422) and the third region (423) of the wrapping member (40) are attached to the battery (30) by the wrapping adhesive (411), the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the second region (422) or the third region (423) of the wrapping member (40) may not be attached to the battery (30) by the wrapping adhesive (411). For example, the wrapping adhesive (411) may not exist between the second region (422) or the third region (423) of the wrapping member (40) and the battery (30).

[0144] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 9, 10, and 11, movement of a battery (30) of an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure when performing a drop test of the electronic device (101) will be described in detail. For reference, in FIGS. 9, 10, and 11, other components of the electronic device (101) are removed for convenience of illustration and description, and only the support plate (11), the heat diffusion member (20), and the battery (30) are illustrated.

[0145] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure subjected to a 45 degree rearward drop test.

[0146] Referring to Fig. 9, the battery (30) is surrounded by a wrapping member (40), and a first region (421) of the wrapping member (40) is attached to the lower surface of the heat diffusion member (20) by an adhesive member (50). In addition, a second region (422) of the wrapping member (40) is attached to a second surface (112) of the support plate (11) by a sub-adhesive member (60). At this time, a tensile force (F) is applied to a portion (425) between the first region (421) and the second region (422) of the wrapping member (40).

[0147] Accordingly, since the wrapping member (40) pulls the battery (30) toward the support plate (11) with a tensile force (F), when the electronic device (101) is dropped backward at a 45 degree angle as shown in FIG. 9, the movement of the battery (30) toward the lower cover (80) can be reduced.

[0148] Between the battery (30) and the lower cover (80), components such as a printed circuit board, a flexible printed circuit board, or a connector may be positioned. Therefore, if the battery (30) moves toward the lower cover (80) during a 45-degree backward drop test, components such as the printed circuit board, the flexible printed circuit board, or the connector may be damaged by the battery (30). However, an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure can reduce the movement of the battery (30) toward the lower cover (80), thereby reducing damage to components such as the printed circuit board, the flexible printed circuit board, or the connector during a 45-degree backward drop test.

[0149] FIG. 10 is a drawing showing an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure performing a bottom surface drop test.

[0150] The bottom drop test is a test to check whether the battery (30) is damaged by colliding with the side member (12) of the housing (10) when the electronic device (101) is dropped.

[0151] Referring to Fig. 10, the battery (30) is surrounded by a wrapping member (40), and a first area (421) of a second wrapping portion (42) of the wrapping member (40) is attached to the lower surface of the heat diffusion member (20) by an adhesive member (50). In addition, a second area (422) of the wrapping member (40) is attached to a second surface (112) of the support plate (11) by a sub-adhesive member (60). At this time, a tensile force (F) is applied to a portion (425) between the first area (421) and the second area (422) of the wrapping member (40).

[0152] Accordingly, since the wrapping member (40) pulls the battery (30) toward the support plate (11) with a tensile force (F), when the electronic device (101) is dropped with its lower side facing downwards as shown in FIG. 10, the movement of the battery (30) toward the side member (12) of the housing (10) can be reduced. Accordingly, the impact force caused by the collision between the battery (30) and the side member (12) can be reduced, thereby reducing damage to the battery (30).

[0153] FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure performing a rear drop test.

[0154] The rear drop test is a test to check whether the heat diffusion member (20) is damaged when the electronic device (101) is dropped.

[0155] Referring to Fig. 11, a first area (421) of a second wrapping portion (42) of a wrapping member (40) surrounding a battery (30) is attached to a protrusion (23) of a heat diffusion member (20) by an adhesive member (50), and a second area (422) of the wrapping member (40) can be attached to a second surface (112) of a support plate (11) by a sub-adhesive member (60). Accordingly, a space (S) can be formed between a protrusion (23) of a heat diffusion member (20) and a battery (30) by a certain distance. Only a part (24) of the heat diffusion member (20) that is not accommodated in the opening (113) of the support plate (11) can be in contact with the support plate (11).

[0156] Accordingly, as shown by the arrow in Fig. 11, when the electronic device (101) is dropped backward, the impact force is transmitted to the support plate (11) through the battery (30), and a portion of the impact transmitted to the support plate (11) can be transmitted to the heat diffusion member (20). Accordingly, since the impact force directly transmitted to the heat diffusion member (20) is small, damage to the heat diffusion member (20) can be reduced.

[0157] As described and illustrated with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11, the arrangement of the wrapping member (40) relative to the battery (30), the support plate (11), and the heat spreading member (20) serves to provide a kind of suspension device (via the tensile force F) for the battery (30) or a means (via the second surface (112)) for transmitting mechanical force from the battery (30) to the support plate (11) instead of the heat spreading member (20), thereby protecting one or more of the battery (30), the heat spreading member (20), and other internal components when the electronic device (101) is subjected to mechanical shock, such as may occur when the electronic device (101) is dropped.

[0158] Hereinafter, an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure applied to different structures will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18.

[0159] FIG. 12 is a drawing showing an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0160] Referring to FIG. 12, the size of the heat diffusion member (20) of the electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure may be larger than the heat diffusion member (20) of the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5 described above. In this case, the size of the opening (113) of the support plate (11) may increase, and the width (W) of the support plate (11) around the opening (113) may narrow. Accordingly, it may be difficult to secure an area for attaching the sub-adhesive member (60) to the second surface (112) of the support plate (11).

[0161] In this case, as illustrated in Fig. 12, a shock-absorbing member (49) may be attached to the second area (422) of the wrapping member (40) surrounding the battery (30) facing the second side (112) of the support plate (11). Then, the thickness of the second area (422) of the wrapping member (40) may be thicker than the thickness of other parts of the wrapping member (40).

[0162] The shock-absorbing member (49) may be formed of a material capable of absorbing shock. The lower surface of the shock-absorbing member (49) has adhesive strength and can be attached to the second region (422) of the wrapping member (40). Since the upper surface of the shock-absorbing member (49) has no adhesive strength, the upper surface of the shock-absorbing member (49) may not be attached to the second surface (112) of the support plate (11).

[0163] Therefore, when the electronic device (101) is dropped with its lower surface facing downward, the shock-absorbing member (49) installed on the wrapping member (40) can absorb the shock applied to the support plate (11) by the battery (30).

[0164] As an example, the shock-absorbing member (49) may be formed integrally with the wrapping member (40). For example, a portion of the second region (422) of the wrapping member (40) corresponding to the shock-absorbing member (49) of FIG. 12 may be formed thicker to correspond to the shock-absorbing member (49).

[0165] FIG. 13 is a drawing showing an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0166] As another example, when the size of the heat diffusion member (20) is large and the width (W) of the second surface (112) of the support plate (11) is narrow, as shown in FIG. 13, nothing is placed between the second surface (112) of the support plate (11) and the wrapping member (40) of the battery (30), and the wrapping member (40) can directly contact the second surface (112) of the support plate (11).

[0167] For example, the second region (422) of the wrapping member (40) may contact the second surface (112) of the support plate (11). However, the second region (422) of the wrapping member (40) may not be adhered to the second surface (112) of the support plate (11). That is, no adhesive may exist between the second region (422) of the wrapping member (40) and the second surface (112) of the support plate (11).

[0168] FIG. 14 is a drawing showing an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0169] Referring to FIG. 14, an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure has a structure of a support plate (11) that is different from that of the electronic device (101) according to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5.

[0170] According to one embodiment, the support plate (11) may include a first surface (111), a second surface (112) opposite to the first surface (111), and a recess (114) formed in the second surface (112). For example, the recess (114) may be formed concavely in the second surface (112) toward the first surface (111) and may be formed so as not to penetrate the support plate (11). In other words, a window / opening may be provided in the support plate (11) that partially extends from the second surface (112) to the first surface (111).

[0171] The support plate (11) can support a flexible display (90). For example, a flexible display (90) can be installed on the first surface (111) of the support plate (11).

[0172] The heat diffusion member (20) can be accommodated in the recess (114). The lower surface of the heat diffusion member (20) can be attached to the first area (421) of the second wrapping portion (42) of the wrapping member (40) surrounding the battery (30) by an adhesive member (50).

[0173] The second side (112) of the support plate (11) can be attached to the second area (422) of the wrapping member (40) surrounding the battery (30) by a sub-adhesive member (60).

[0174] The battery (30), wrapping member (40), adhesive member (50), and sub-adhesive member (60) are substantially the same as the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5 described above, so redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0175] FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. For reference, in FIG. 15, the display (90) is removed for convenience of illustration.

[0176] Referring to FIG. 15, an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure may include a first housing (10-1), a second housing (10-2), a hinge (10-3), or a hinge housing (10-4).

[0177] The first housing (10-1) and the second housing (10-2) can be formed to support the display (90). The first housing (10-1) can accommodate a first portion of the display (90). The first portion of the display (90) can be placed on the first housing (10-1). The second housing (10-2) can accommodate a second portion of the display (90). The second portion of the display (90) can be placed on the second housing (10-2).

[0178] The first housing (10-1) may include a first support plate (11-1) (e.g., support plate (11)). For example, the support plate (11) may form at least a portion of the first housing (10-1). The second housing (10-2) may include a second support plate (11-2) (e.g., support plate (11)).

[0179] For example, a heat diffusion member (20) and a battery (30) may be placed in the first housing (10-1). The battery (30) may be placed on the lower side of the heat diffusion member (20) in a vertical direction from the ground in FIG. 15.

[0180] The first housing (10-1) and the second housing (10-2) can be connected by a hinge (10-3). The second housing (10-2) can be rotatably connected to the first housing (10-1) by the hinge (10-3).

[0181] The hinge housing (10-4) accommodates the hinge (10-3) and can be positioned between the first housing (10-1) and the second housing (10-2). The hinge housing (10-4) can be positioned below the hinge (10-3) so that the hinge (10-3) is not exposed to the outside.

[0182] A heat transfer member (70) may be positioned below the display (90). The heat transfer member (70) may be positioned across the first housing (10-1) and the second housing (10-2). For example, the heat transfer member (70) may be positioned to extend from the first housing (10-1) to the second housing (10-2) via the hinge (10-3).

[0183] A part of the heat transfer member (70) disposed in the first housing (10-1) may be in contact with the heat diffusion member (20). An electronic component that emits heat may be disposed below another part of the heat transfer member (70) disposed in the second housing (10-2) (in a direction perpendicular to the support plate (11) of FIG. 15). For example, a processor (130) that controls the electronic device (101) may be disposed below another part of the heat transfer member (70) disposed in the second housing (10-2) (in a direction perpendicular to the support plate (11) of FIG. 15). Accordingly, heat generated in the processor (130) disposed in the second housing (10-2) may be transferred to the heat diffusion member (20) disposed in the first housing (10-1) through the heat transfer member (70).

[0184] FIG. 16 is a drawing showing an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0185] Referring to FIG. 16, an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure has a structure of a support plate (11) and a heat spreading member (20) different from that of the electronic device (101) according to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5.

[0186] According to one embodiment, the support plate (11) may include a first surface (111), a second surface (112) opposite to the first surface (111), and a recess (114) formed in the second surface (112). The recess (114) is formed to be concave from the second surface (112) of the support plate (11) toward the first surface (111), and may be formed so as not to penetrate the support plate (11). Accordingly, the bottom surface (114a) of the recess (114) may form a step with the second surface (112) of the support plate (11).

[0187] According to one embodiment, the heat diffusion member (20) may be formed inside the support plate (11). For example, the heat diffusion member (20) may be formed inside the support plate (11) corresponding to the recess (114). That is, the support plate (11) and the heat diffusion member (20) may be formed integrally.

[0188] The support plate (11) can support a flexible display (90). For example, a flexible display (90) can be installed on the first surface (111) of the support plate (11).

[0189] The bottom surface (114a) of the recess (114) of the support plate (11) can be attached to the first area (421) of the second wrapping portion (42) of the wrapping member (40) surrounding the battery (30) by an adhesive member (50).

[0190] The second side (112) of the support plate (11) can be attached to the second area (422) of the second wrapping portion (42) of the wrapping member (40) surrounding the battery (30) by the sub-adhesive member (60).

[0191] The battery (30), wrapping member (40), adhesive member (50), and sub-adhesive member (60) are substantially the same as the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5 described above, so redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0192] FIG. 17 is a drawing showing an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0193] Referring to FIG. 17, the support plate (11) may include a first surface (111), a second surface (112) opposite to the first surface (111), an opening (113) penetrating the first surface (111) and the second surface (112), and an inner wall (116) extending from the second surface (112).

[0194] For example, the inner wall (116) may extend downward from the second side (112) of the support plate (11) and may be formed to surround at least a portion of the side surface of the battery (30). The side surface of the battery (30) may be bonded to the inner wall (116) by an additional adhesive member (63).

[0195] For example, the second wrapping portion (42) of the wrapping member (40) surrounding the battery (30) may include a third region (423) that wraps at least a portion of a side surface of the battery (30). The third region (423) of the second wrapping portion (42) of the wrapping member (40) surrounding the battery (30) may be bonded to the inner wall (116) of the support plate (11) by an additional adhesive member (63).

[0196] As illustrated in FIG. 17, the inner wall (116) may include a left inner wall (116) facing the left side of the battery (30) and a right inner wall (116) facing the right side of the battery (30). A third region (423) of the wrapping member (40) wrapping the left side of the battery (30) may be adhered to the left inner wall (116) by an additional adhesive member (63). A third region (423) of the wrapping member (40) wrapping the right side of the battery (30) may be adhered to the right inner wall (116) by an additional adhesive member (63).

[0197] For example, an adhesive may be used as the additional adhesive member (63).

[0198] As described above, by forming an inner wall (116) on the support plate (11) and attaching the battery (30) to the inner wall (116) with an additional adhesive member (63), separation of the battery (30) can be prevented or reduced when the electronic device (101) is dropped.

[0199] The heat diffusion member (20) can be accommodated in the opening (113) of the support plate (11). The lower surface of the heat diffusion member (20) can be attached to the first area (421) of the second wrapping portion (42) of the wrapping member (40) surrounding the battery (30) by an adhesive member (50).

[0200] The second side (112) of the support plate (11) can be attached to the second area (422) of the second wrapping portion (42) of the wrapping member (40) surrounding the battery (30) by the sub-adhesive member (60).

[0201] The battery (30), wrapping member (40), adhesive member (50), and sub-adhesive member (60) are substantially the same as those in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5 described above, so redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0202] FIG. 18 is a drawing showing an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0203] Referring to FIG. 18, an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure differs from the electronic device (101) according to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5 in that it does not include a heat spreading member (20).
