Electronic device including slidable body

#This application is based on and claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119 to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0054360, filed on May 9, 2019, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosures of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entireties.

#Certain embodiments of the disclosure relate to an electronic device including a slidable body.

#Modern electronic devices have grown slimmer with each iterative generation. Slim devices are perceived as attractive and comfortable to consumers. Accordingly, there is a need to increase the rigidity of the devices to enable the slimmer design aesthetics of the device, and differentiate the functional elements of the same. In that regard, electronic devices are gradually moving beyond uniform rectangular shapes.

#In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals may be used for the same or similar components.

#FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of an electronic device in a network environment according to certain embodiments of the disclosure.

#FIGS. 2A and 2B are front and rear views illustrating an electronic device with a slidable body inserted according to certain embodiments of the disclosure.

#FIG. 1 illustrates an electronic device in a network environment according to an embodiment.

#Referring to FIG. 1, an electronic device 101 in a network environment 100 may communicate with an electronic device 102 via a first network 198 (e.g., a short-range wireless communication network), or an electronic device 104 or a server 108 via a second network 199 (e.g., a long-range wireless communication network). The electronic device 101 may communicate with the electronic device 104 via the server 108. (not shown) The electronic device 101 includes a processor 120, memory 130, an input device 150, an audio output device 155, a display device 160, an audio module 170, a sensor module 176, an interface 177, a haptic module 179, a camera module 180, a power management module 188, a battery 189, a communication module 190, a subscriber identification module (SIM) 196, and an antenna module 197. At least one of the components may be omitted from the electronic device 101, or one or more other components may be added in the electronic device 101. Some of the components may be implemented as single integrated circuitry. For example, the sensor module 176 may be implemented as embedded in the display device 160.

#The processor 120 may execute a program 140 to control at least one other hardware or software component of the electronic device 101 coupled with the processor 120, and may perform various data processing or computation. As at least part of the data processing or computation, the processor 120 may load a command or data received from another component in volatile memory 132, process the command or the data stored in the volatile memory 132, and store resulting data in non-volatile memory 134. The processor 120 may include a main processor 121 (e.g., a central processing unit (CPU) or an application processor (AP)), and an auxiliary processor 123 (e.g., a graphics processing unit (GPU), an image signal processor (ISP), a sensor hub processor, or a communication processor (CP)) that is operable independently from, or in conjunction with, the main processor 121. Additionally or alternatively, the auxiliary processor 123 may be adapted to consume less power than the main processor 121, or to be specific to a specified function. The auxiliary processor 123 may be implemented as separate from, or as part of the main processor 121.
