Abstract
One or more embodiments of the present disclosure may include: a transparent member; a housing coupled to the transparent member in a rotatable manner via a hinge portion, such that the housing is foldable in a designated direction with respect to the transparent member; a projector at least partially disposed in the housing; and an optical transferring member configured to guide light emitted from the projector to the transparent member when the housing is unfolded with respect to the transparent member in an unfolded state.
Claims20
A wearable electronic device comprising:
- a transparent member;
- a housing coupled to the transparent member in a rotatable manner via a hinge portion, such that the housing is foldable in a designated direction with respect to the transparent member;
- a projector at least partially disposed in the housing;
- and
- an optical transferring member configured to guide light emitted from the projector to the transparent member when the housing is unfolded with respect to the transparent member in an unfolded state.
An eyeglasses type wearable electronic device comprising:
- at least one transparent member;
- a transparent member frame which supports the transparent member;
- first and second temple portions coupled to the transparent member frame in a rotatable manner so that the first and second temple portions can be folded or unfolded with respect to the transparent member frame;
- a light source disposed in the first temple portion;
- at least one optical system configured to guide a wave path of an optical signal emitted from the light source to a user's eyes;
- and
- a fixing device disposed between the transparent member frame and the first temple portion to provide a force for maintaining an unfolding state of the first temple portion with respect to the transparent member frame.
A wearable electronic device comprising:
- a transparent member;
- a housing coupled to the transparent member in a rotatable manner via a hinge portion, such that the housing is foldable in a designated direction with respect to the transparent member;
- a projector at least partially disposed in the housing;
- a recognition device at least partially disposed in the housing to recognize an unfolded state and a folded state of the housing;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control the projector to emit light when the housing is in the unfolded state;
- and
- control the projector to cease emission of the light when the housing is in the folded state.
