Abstract
Disclosed is an electronic device that realizes improved, reliable waterproof performance by sealing the perimeter of an electronic component disposed simultaneously over both a black mask (BM) region and a display region of the electronic device, thereby securing the continuity of a waterproof loop around the electronic device.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a housing including a front plate, a rear plate spaced apart from and disposed to be parallel with the front plate, and a lateral member surrounding a space between the front plate and the second plate;
- a display disposed in the space of the housing, being viewable through at least a part of the front plate, and formed to have less area than the front plate;
- an electronic component disposed in the housing and including:
- when the front plate is viewed from above, a first portion overlapping the front plate, and a second portion overlapping both the display and the front plate;
- a first adhesive member disposed between the front plate and the lateral member and surrounding a part of the first portion;
- a second adhesive member disposed between the display and the lateral member, spaced apart from the first adhesive member, and extended in a first direction along one periphery of the display around the electronic component;
- a third adhesive member disposed between the display and the lateral member, spaced apart from the first adhesive member, and extended in a second direction along the one periphery of the display around the electronic component;
- and
- at least one waterproof seal member filling, at least in part, a space between the first and second adhesive members and a space between the first and third adhesive members.

An electronic device comprising:
- a housing including a front plate facing a first direction, a rear plate facing a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a lateral member surrounding a space between the front plate and the second plate, the front plate having a first periphery having a first length, a second periphery having a second length greater than the first length and substantially perpendicular to the first periphery, a third periphery having the first length and parallel to the first periphery, and a fourth periphery having the second length and parallel to the second periphery;
- a display disposed in the space of the housing and being viewable through at least a part of the front plate, the display having a fifth periphery having a third length and parallel to the first periphery, a sixth periphery having a fourth length greater than the third length and parallel to the second periphery, a seventh periphery having the third length and parallel to the fifth periphery, and an eighth periphery having the fourth length and parallel to the sixth periphery;
- an electronic component disposed in the housing and including:
- when the front plate is viewed from above the display, a first portion disposed in a first area between the first periphery of the front plate and the fifth periphery of the display, and a second portion disposed in a second area adjoining the first area and overlapping a part of the display;
- a first adhesive member disposed between the front plate and the lateral member and surrounding a part of the first portion when the front plate is viewed from above the display;
- a second adhesive member disposed between the display and the lateral member, spaced apart from the first adhesive member, and extended along one part of the fifth periphery when the front plate is viewed from above the display;
- a third adhesive member disposed between the display and the lateral member, spaced apart from the first adhesive member, extended along another part of the fifth periphery when the front plate is viewed from above the display, and positioned such that the electronic component is disposed between the second and third adhesive members;
- and
- at least one waterproof seal member filling, at least in part, a space between the first and second adhesive members and a space between the first and third adhesive members.
