For example, the first internal space (710) may be a space formed between the side of the display (320) (e.g., the side facing the y-axis direction) and the protruding part (412) of the first support member (410). For example, the first internal space (710) may be a space at least partially enclosed by the display (320), the protruding part (412), and the second adhesive member (440). For example, air moved into the first internal space (710) may be moved along the protruding part (412) to the support part (411).

[0051] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second adhesive member (440) can prevent moisture from entering the interior of the electronic device (300) through the space between the display (320) and the support portion (411) of the first support member (410). For example, moisture entering the first internal space (710) can be reduced by the second adhesive member (440) from entering between the support portion (411) and the back surface of the display (320) (e.g., the side facing the -z-axis direction).

For example, the side of the display (320) (e.g., the side facing the y-axis direction) may be at least partially waterproof coated. For example, a waterproof member may be attached to the side of the display (320) (e.g., the side facing the y-axis direction). For example, a molding containing a waterproof material may be formed on a side of the display (320) (e.g., a side facing the y-axis direction). For example, among the sides of the display (320), the side facing the protruding portion (412) of the first support member (410) may be waterproof coated. According to one embodiment, the thickness of the waterproof coated side of the display (320) may be formed such that it does not come into contact with the protruding portion (412) of the first support member (410).

According to one embodiment, the partition (830) may be formed to surround the first acoustic hole (610) and the second acoustic hole (620) between the support portion (411) and the PCB (820). For example, air passing through the first acoustic hole (610) can be guided by the partition (830) and pass through the second acoustic hole (620). For example, air passing through the second acoustic hole (620) can reach the microphone (810).

For example, the waterproof member (840) may be placed within the second internal space (720) between the first acoustic hole (610) and the second acoustic hole (620). For example, the waterproof member (840) may be placed on a PCB (820) to cover the second acoustic hole (620).
