Abstract
An electronic device may comprise: a case made of a metal material; a circuit board positioned on a surface of the case; a dew condensation sensor which includes a pair of sensor electrodes formed on the circuit board while forming a predetermined gap therebetween and detects dew condensation formation when a current flows between the sensor electrodes; and a control part for locking to prevent driving when the dew condensation sensor detects dew condensation, and may prevent malfunction or damage of components by detecting the dew condensation in an early stage.
Claims13
An electronic device, comprising:
- a case including a metal material;
- a circuit board located on a surface of the case;
- a condensation sensor including a pair of sensor electrodes formed to form a predetermined gap on the circuit board and configured to detect occurrence of condensation based on a current flowing between the sensor electrodes;
- and
- a controller configured to lock an operation of the electronic device based on detection of the condensation by the condensation sensor,
- wherein the condensation sensor is one of a plurality of condensation sensors with different gaps.
