Abstract
An electronic apparatus includes a window having a front surface, a rear surface opposite to the front surface, and a plurality of side surfaces connecting the front surface and the rear surface, an electronic panel displaying an image through the front surface and including a surface corresponding to at least one of the side surfaces, a pressure sensing unit sensing an external pressure, and a housing unit accommodating the electronic panel and the pressure sensing unit. The external pressure is applied to a first surface among the side surfaces, and the pressure sensing unit is disposed on a second surface opposite to the first surface.
Claims6
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a window comprising a front surface and first and second side surfaces bent from the front surface;
- an electronic panel configured to display an image and comprising first and second side surfaces corresponding to the first and second side surfaces of the window;
- first and second pressure sensing units configured to sense an intensity of an external pressure;
- a support member disposed between the first and second side surfaces of the electronic panel;
- and
- a housing unit accommodating the first and second side surfaces of the window, the electronic panel, and the first and second pressure sensing units and the support member within the housing unit, the housing unit comprising a plurality of walls corresponding to the first and second side surfaces of the window,
- wherein:
- when the external pressure is applied to the first side surface of the window, the support member applies a pressure corresponding to the external pressure to the second side surface of the electronic panel opposite to the first side surface of the electronic panel;
- the second pressure sensing unit is disposed adjacent the second side surface of the electronic panel, and senses the intensity of the external pressure applied through the support member from the first side surface of the window;
- and
- the second pressure sensing unit is disposed between the second side surface of the electronic panel and the second side surface of the window.
