Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing foldably connected to the first housing through a hinge device, a flexible display disposed to be supported by the second housing through the hinge device from the first housing, and a protective frame disposed on the second housing with edges of the flexible display interposed, wherein a conductive member is disposed based on at least one pattern between the protective frame and the edges of the flexible display.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a first housing;
- a second housing foldably connected to the first housing through a hinge device;
- a flexible display disposed at the first housing and the second housing, the flexible display comprising:
- a display panel, and
- a conductive plate disposed under the display panel and electrically connected to a common ground;
- a protective frame at least partially covering an edge of the flexible display;
- a conductive member disposed on an inner surface of the protective frame, the conductive member comprising:
- a first portion extending along a longitudinal direction of the protective frame corresponding to the edge of the flexible display, and
- at least two second portions extending from the first portion toward the conductive plate;
- and
- an antenna using at least a portion of the conductive plate,
- wherein an end of each the at least two second portions of the conductive member are disposed adjacent to the conductive plate, and
- wherein the conductive member is configured such that a wireless signal radiating from the antenna radiates through a space between consecutive second portions among the at least two second portions of the conductive member.
