For example, the space may include a space surrounded on at least three sides by the inclined surface (1023), the rear surface (921), and the side of the first part (1011) of the first camera cover member (1010).

[0137] According to one embodiment, the space may include a first region and a second region that is closer to the camera device (930) than the first region. In one example, in the first region, the inclined surface (1023) may be spaced apart from the cover (920) by a third length (D3). For example, in the first region, the inclined surface (1023) may be spaced apart from the rear surface (921) by a third length (D3) in the direction in which the first part (1011) of the first camera cover member (1010) protrudes from the cover (920) (e.g., the +z direction). In the second region, the inclined surface (1023) may be spaced apart from the cover (920) by a fourth length (D4). For example, in the second region, the inclined surface (1023) may be spaced apart from the rear surface (921) by a fourth length (D4) in the direction in which the first part (1011) of the first camera cover member (1010) protrudes from the cover (920) (e.g., +z direction).

[0138] According to one embodiment, the third length (D3) may be greater than the fourth length (D4). However, it is not limited thereto.

[0139] According to one embodiment, when the second camera cover member (1020) is damaged by an external impact, the inclined surface (1023) of the damaged second camera cover member (1020) may be further separated from the cover (920) when the second camera cover member (1020) includes the inclined surface (1023) than when the second camera cover member (1020) does not include the inclined surface (1023).
