Electronic device comprising guide member for wiring

An electronic device comprising:

• first and second housings;
• a display comprising first and second display areas on the first and second housings, respectively, and a folding area between the first and second display areas;
• a hinge pivotably connecting the first and second housings;
• and
• a flexible printed circuit board (PCB) comprising a surface and a fixing plate on the surface and extending across the hinge between the first and second housings,
• at least one of the first and second housings comprising:
• a support plate supporting a portion of a corresponding one of the first and second display areas and forming a through-hole penetrating respective surfaces thereof;
• and
• a guide member in the through-hole and forming a wiring hole through which a portion of the flexible PCB passes with the fixing plate on an inner wall of the wiring hole,
• wherein:
• the electronic device further comprises a waterproof member disposed at least partially in the wiring hole between the flexible PCB and the hinge module,
• the waterproof member comprises a first surface and a second surface, which is transversely oriented relative to and adjacent the first surface, and
• the at least one flexible PCB contacts a portion of the first surface of the waterproof member inside of the wiring hole and a portion of the at least one flexible PCB is bonded to the second surface of the waterproof member outside the first housing.

A foldable electronic device comprising:

• a pivotable housing with display and foldable areas;
• and
• a flexible printed circuit board (PCB) comprising a surface and a fixing plate on the surface and extending to the housing,
• the housing comprising:
• a support plate supporting a portion of the display area and forming a through-hole penetrating a surface thereof;
• a guide member in the through-hole and forming a wiring hole through which a portion of the flexible PCB passes with the fixing plate disposed on an inner wall of the wiring hole;
• a waterproof member in the wiring hole between the flexible PCB and the hinge module;
• and
• a bonding member disposed between the display and the waterproof member and configured to bond the waterproof member to the flexible PCB,
• wherein:
• the waterproof member comprises a first surface and a second surface, which is transversely oriented relative to and adjacent the first surface, and
• the at least one flexible PCB contacts a portion of the first surface of the waterproof member inside of the wiring hole and a portion of the at least one flexible PCB is bonded to the second surface of the waterproof member outside the housing.
