## Abstract

Provided is an electronic device having a multi-plane display. As an embodiment, the electronic device may include: a circuit unit; a power supply unit connected to one surface of the circuit unit so as to form a combined body; a display configured to include a first surface in a first direction, a second surface in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a third surface enclosing at least a portion of the space formed between the first surface and the second surface; a bracket having an opening at the center to accommodate the combined body and configured to enclose sides of the combined body; and an outer housing configured to enclose the bracket. The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and may include various other embodiments.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic device comprising:
a circuit unit;
a power supply unit connected to one surface of the circuit unit so as to form a combined body;
a display configured to include a first surface in a first direction, a second surface in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a third surface enclosing at least a portion of the space formed between the first surface and the second surface, wherein the display comprises three antennas, and each antenna of the three antennas is disposed in a different respective one of the first surface, the second surface, and the third surface;
a bracket having an opening at the center to accommodate the combined body and configured to enclose sides of the combined body; and
an outer housing configured to enclose the bracket,
wherein the display comprises:
a display panel;
a touch panel disposed on top of the display panel, with a space formed between the touch panel and the display panel; and
at least one shield layer in the space formed between the touch panel and the display panel, and
wherein the three antennas are disposed between the touch panel and the display panel.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the outer housing comprises:
a left elongated portion parallel to a first side wall of the bracket;
a right elongated portion parallel to a second side wall of the bracket; and
a reference portion coupled to a third side wall of the bracket while interconnecting the left and right elongated portions.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The electronic device of claim 2, further comprising a fastening member configured to couple the outer housing enclosing the bracket with the display.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The electronic device of claim 3, wherein the fastening member has a rail type.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising a camera module electrically connected to the circuit unit in the space formed between the first surface and the second surface of the display.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the camera module includes an optical unit arranged to be parallel to at least one surface of the display, and wherein a portion of the display includes an opening through which the optical unit can be exposed to the outside.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising an acoustic module electrically coupled to the circuit unit in the space formed between the first surface and the second surface of the display.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The electronic device of claim 7, wherein the acoustic module is configured to contact the display to generate vibrations and generate sounds via the vibrations.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)
