PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD INCLUDING FIXING PART AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME

An electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise: a drive unit including a camera lens; a housing in which the drive unit is disposed and encompassing the drive unit; and a printed circuit board disposed in at least a portion of the housing and the drive unit, wherein: the printed circuit board comprises: a sensor part, a fixing part coupled to the housing, a connection part extending while connecting the fixing part and the sensor part to each other, and a flexible part surrounding at least a portion of the sensor part and connected to the sensor part and the fixing part; and the connection part is configured to be cut based on the fixing part being coupled to the housing.

BACKGROUND

Field

The disclosure relates to a printed circuit board including a fixing part and an electronic device including the same.

Description of Related Art

An electronic device including a camera may include a tiltable optical image stabilization (OIS) module. The tiltable optical image stabilization module can compensate for camera shake to ensure that a user captures a desired image.

The tiltable optical image stabilization module may include a driving part including a lens and a printed circuit board disposed on the driving part. The printed circuit board disposed on the driving part may include an image sensor and may include a sensor part that is movable and a flexible part that fixes the sensor part.

The above information may be provided as related art to aid in the understanding of the disclosure. No claim or determination is made as to the applicability of any of the foregoing as prior art to the disclosure.

In order to implement the function of an optical image stabilization module, a driving part, a sensor part, and a fixing part need to be placed in predetermined positions. Since a movable sensor part of the optical image stabilization module is fixed using a flexible part, the sensor part may be moved even by a weak external impact during assembly. When the resistance of a flexible part is made high to prevent and/or reduce the movement of the sensor part, the operation of the optical image stabilization module may require a lot of current.

In the optical image stabilization module, an assembly guide for assembling a printed circuit board with other elements may be positioned at the outermost edge of the printed circuit board. For stability of the module assembly, the assembly guide may be thicker, which may lead to an increase in the overall size of the module.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example electronic device 101 in a network environment 100 according to various embodiments. Referring to FIG. 1, the electronic device 101 in the network environment 100 may communicate with an electronic device 102 via a first network 198 (e.g., a short-range wireless communication network), or at least one of an electronic device 104 or a server 108 via a second network 199 (e.g., a long-range wireless communication network).

The processor 120 may include various processing circuitry and/or multiple processors. For example, as used herein, including the claims, the term “processor” may include various processing circuitry, including at least one processor, wherein one or more of at least one processor, individually and/or collectively in a distributed manner, may be configured to perform various functions described herein. As used herein, when “a processor”, “at least one processor”, and “one or more processors” are described as being configured to perform numerous functions, these terms cover situations, for example and without limitation, in which one processor performs some of recited functions and another processor(s) performs other of recited functions, and also situations in which a single processor may perform all recited functions. Additionally, the at least one processor may include a combination of processors performing various of the recited/disclosed functions, e.g., in a distributed manner. At least one processor may execute program instructions to achieve or perform various functions. The processor 120 may execute, for example, software (e.g., a program 140) to control at least one other component (e.g., a hardware or software component) of the electronic device 101 coupled with the processor 120, and may perform various data processing or computation. According to an embodiment, as at least part of the data processing or computation, the processor 120 may store a command or data received from another component (e.g., the sensor module 176 or the communication module 190) in volatile memory 132, process the command or the data stored in the volatile memory 132, and store resulting data in non-volatile memory 134. According to an embodiment, the processor 120 may include a main processor 121 (e.g., a central processing unit (CPU) or an application processor (AP)), or an auxiliary processor 123 (e.g., a graphics processing unit (GPU), a neural processing unit (NPU), an image signal processor (ISP), a sensor hub processor, or a communication processor (CP)) that is operable independently from, or in conjunction with, the main processor 121. For example, when the electronic device 101 includes the main processor 121 and the auxiliary processor 123, the auxiliary processor 123 may be adapted to consume less power than the main processor 121, or to be specific to a specified function. The auxiliary processor 123 may be implemented as separate from, or as part of the main processor 121.

In an embodiment, the housing 210 may be disposed while surrounding the perimeter of the driving part 230. For example, when the driving part 230 includes surfaces facing the width direction (e.g., the x-axis direction) and the length direction (e.g., the y-axis direction) of the electronic device 200, the housing 210 may be disposed to surround each surface of the driving part 230.

In an embodiment, the housing 210 may include a housing opening 211. The driving part 230 may be at least partially inserted into the housing opening 211 of the housing 210.

In an embodiment, the housing 210 and the printed circuit board 260 may be coupled to each other. For example, at least a portion of the housing 210 may be coupled to the printed circuit board 260, and the relative position of the printed circuit board 260 relative to the driving part 230 may be fixed.

In an embodiment, the driving part 230 may include a camera lens 231 and/or a coil 232 therein. For example, the coil 232 may be disposed on at least one of the side surfaces of the driving part 230.

In an embodiment, the driving part 230 may be configured to implement an optical image stabilization (OIS) function. For example, the driving part 230 may serve to rotate or move the camera lens 231 and a portion (e.g., an image sensor) of the printed circuit board 260 together to substantially align the optical axis with an imaginary axis connecting a subject to the center of the electronic device 200 (e.g., the camera module 180 in FIG. 1).

In an embodiment, the driving part 230 may include an autofocus (AF) actuator (not shown) that can implement the upward and downward movement of the camera lens 231. For example, an autofocus actuator (not shown) capable of implementing autofocus may be positioned inside the driving part 230.

In an embodiment, the magnet 220 may be disposed in the housing 210. For example, the magnet 220 may be disposed on at least one of surfaces surrounding the housing opening 211 of the housing 210.

In an embodiment, two magnets 220 may be disposed in the housing 210. For example, each of the two magnets 220 may be disposed on at least one of the surfaces surrounding the housing opening 211 of the housing 210. One magnet 220 may be disposed on the surface, among the surfaces surrounding the housing opening 211, which faces the negative x-axis direction, and the other magnet 220 may be disposed on the surface, among the surfaces surrounding the housing opening 211, which faces the negative y-axis direction.

In an embodiment, the magnet 220 disposed in the housing 210 and the coil 232 of the driving part 230 may be disposed in positions corresponding to each other. For example, when the magnet 220 is disposed on a surface facing the negative x-axis direction in the housing 210, the coil 232 may be disposed on a surface of the driving part 230 facing the positive x-axis direction.

In an embodiment, the positions of the magnet 220 and the coil 232 may be interchanged. For example, the magnet 220 may be disposed in the driving part 230 and the coil 232 may be disposed in the housing 210.

In an embodiment, the magnet 220 and the coil 232 may be configured to implement an optical image stabilization (OIS) function. For example, the driving part 230 may use the electromagnetic force formed between the magnet 220 and the coil 232 to rotate or move the camera lens 231, thereby implementing an optical image stabilization function.

In an embodiment, the rotation guide 250 may be formed to extend in the width direction (e.g., the x-axis direction) and the length direction (e.g., the y-axis direction) of the electronic device 200. For example, the rotation guide 250 may extend in the width direction and length direction of the electronic device 200 along the side surfaces of the driving part 230 on which the magnet 220 and the coil 232 are not disposed.

In an embodiment, the rotational guide 250 may include a guide rail (not shown) in at least a portion thereof. For example, the guide rail (not shown) may be disposed at positions corresponding to the side surfaces of the driving part 230 on which the rotation guide 250 is disposed.

In an embodiment, one surface of the rotation guide 250 may refer to a surface of the rotation guide 250 facing the driving part 230. The other surface of the rotation guide 250 may refer to a surface opposite to the one surface of the rotation guide 250.

In an embodiment, a ball rail (not shown) may be disposed on one surface of the rotation guide 250. The ball rail (not shown) disposed on the one surface of the rotation guide 250 may be configured to correspond to one surface of the driving part 230 (e.g., a surface of the driving part 230 facing the rotation guide 250). A ball (not shown) may be disposed between the one surface of the rotation guide 250 and the one surface of the driving part 230.

In an embodiment, the other surface of the rotation guide 250 may be disposed to face the sub-housing 240 or the housing 210. A ball (not shown) may be disposed between the other surface of the rotation guide 250 and the sub-housing 240 or the housing 210.

In an embodiment, the rotation guide 250 may include an adsorption magnet (not shown) and a yoke (not shown) to which a ball bearing (not shown) can be fixed. At least one of the adsorption magnet (not shown) and the yoke may be fixedly disposed on the rotation guide 250.

In an embodiment, the sub-housing 240 may be disposed on at least one side of the rotating guide 250. For example, referring to FIG. 2, the sub-housing 240 may be disposed on a surface of the rotation guide 250 facing the negative y-axis direction.

In an embodiment, the printed circuit board 260 may be disposed in one direction relative to the driving part 230. For example, the printed circuit board 260 may be disposed in the positive z-axis direction relative to the driving part 230. The printed circuit board 260 may include an image sensor (e.g., the sensor part 310 in FIG. 4) in at least a portion thereof.

In an embodiment, the bottom cover 270 may be disposed in one direction relative to the printed circuit board 260. For example, the bottom cover 270 may be disposed in the positive z-axis direction relative to the printed circuit board 260.

In an embodiment, relative to the height direction (e.g., the z-axis direction) of the electronic device 200, the driving part 230, the printed circuit board 260, and the bottom cover 270 may be disposed in order. For example, the printed circuit board 260 may be disposed in the positive z-axis direction relative to the driving part 230. The bottom cover 270 may be disposed in the positive z-axis direction relative to the printed circuit board 260.

The electronic device 200 according to an embodiment of the disclosure may be a tiltable optical image stabilization (OIS) module. The tiltable optical image stabilization module may allow the camera lens 231 of the driving part 230 and a portion (e.g., an image sensor) of the printed circuit board 260 to tilt together.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a housing 210, a printed circuit board 260, and a bottom cover 270 according to various embodiments.

FIG. 3 may illustrate cross-sections of the housing 210, the printed circuit board 260, and the bottom cover 270 according to various embodiments, parallel to the width direction (e.g., the x-axis direction) and the height direction (e.g., the z-axis direction) of an electronic device 200.

FIG. 3 may be a view illustrating a state in which the housing 210, the printed circuit board 260, and the bottom cover 270 according to an embodiment are coupled to each other.

In an embodiment, relative to the height direction (e.g., the z-axis direction) of the electronic device 200, the housing 210, the printed circuit board 260, and the bottom cover 270 may be disposed in order. For example, the printed circuit board 260 may be disposed in the positive z-axis direction relative to the housing 210. The bottom cover 270 may be disposed in the positive z-axis direction relative to the printed circuit board 260.

In an embodiment, the housing 210 may include a housing opening 211 and/or a coupling region 212 in which a driving part 230 (see FIG. 2) is disposed.

In an embodiment, the coupling region 212 may be a region that protrudes and extends from the housing 210 toward the printed circuit board 260. For example, referring to FIG. 3, the coupling region 212 of the housing 210 may extend such that at least a portion of the housing 210 protrudes in the positive z-axis direction compared to other regions of the housing 210. The coupling region 212 may be referred to as a tab or protrusion.

In an embodiment, one surface of the printed circuit board 260 may refer to a surface facing the negative z-axis direction relative to the printed circuit board 260, and the other surface of the printed circuit board 260 may refer to a surface facing the positive z-axis direction relative to the printed circuit board 260.

In an embodiment, the housing 210 may be disposed on one surface of the printed circuit board 260. The bottom cover 270 may be disposed on the other surface of the printed circuit board 260.

In an embodiment, the housing 210 may include a plurality of coupling regions 212. For example, referring to FIG. 3, two coupling regions 212 may each be formed at symmetrical positions relative to the center of the housing 210 in the width direction (e.g., the x-axis direction).

Although FIG. 3 illustrates that two coupling regions 212 of the housing 210 are formed, this is an example, and the number of coupling regions 212 may not be limited thereto. For example, the housing 210 may include three or more coupling regions 212, and each coupling region 212 may be coupled to a corresponding region of the printed circuit board 260.

In an embodiment, the printed circuit board 260 may include fixing regions 261. The fixing regions 261 of the printed circuit board 260 may be formed at positions corresponding to the coupling regions 212 of the housing 210. For example, when the housing 210 and the printed circuit board 260 are coupled to each other, the coupling regions 212 of the housing 210 and the fixing regions 261 of the printed circuit board 260 may be disposed at positions corresponding to each other. The fixing region 261 may include a recess (e.g., a hole) configured to receive the tab or fixing potion 212 extending from the housing 210.

The coupling regions 212 of the housing 210 may be inserted into at least portions of the coupling regions 261 of the printed circuit board 260. The fixing regions 261 may include shapes (e.g., fixing part holes 321, see FIG. 4) into which the protruding portions of the coupling regions 212 may be inserted. The coupling regions 212 are inserted into the fixing regions 261 and the printed circuit board 260 may be fixed while being disposed in the housing 210.

In an embodiment, one side of the housing 210 may refer to a side surface of the housing 210 that faces the positive x-axis direction. The other side of the housing 210 may refer to a side surface of the housing 210 that faces the negative x-axis direction.

In an embodiment, the coupling regions 212 of the housing 210 may be disposed at predetermined distances from the one side of the housing 210 and the other side of the housing 210. For example, the coupling regions 212 may be positioned at separation distance D1 and D2 from the one side and the other side of the housing 210. The coupling region 212 may be positioned at a first separation distance D1 from the one side of the housing 210. The coupling region 212 may be positioned at a second separation distance D2 from the other side of the housing 210.

In FIG. 3, the first separation distance D1 and the second separation distance D2 are shown to have the same length, but this is an example and the length of the first separation distance D1 and the second separation distance D2 may not be limited thereto. For example, the first separation distance D1 may be formed longer or shorter than the second separation distance D2.

In an embodiment, the fixing regions 261 of the printed circuit board 260, into which the coupling regions 212 are inserted, may also be positioned at distances approximately equal to the separation distances D1 and D2 from the one side and the other side of the housing 210. For example, the fixing region 261 of the printed circuit board 260 may be positioned at the first separation distance D1 from the one side of the housing 210. The fixing region 261 of the printed circuit board 260 may be positioned at the second separation distance D2 from the other side of the housing 210.

In an embodiment, the positions where the coupling regions 212 of the housing 210 and the fixing regions 261 of the printed circuit board 260 are disposed (e.g., positions spaced apart from the one side and the other side of the housing 210 by the separation distance D1) may be an empty space that is not used by any other element of the electronic device 200.

In an embodiment, the size of the electronic device 200 may refer to the width-wise length, length-wise length, and/or height-wise length of the electronic device 200.

In an embodiment, the printed circuit board 260 may be disposed to be spaced from the driving part 230 (see FIG. 2) by a predetermined length or more in the height direction (e.g., the z-axis direction). To maintain spacing between the printed circuit board 260 and the driving part 230, the outermost portion of the bottom cover 270 (e.g., the end portions of the bottom cover 270 in the x-axis and y-axis directions) may be formed to protrude in a plate shape in the height direction (e.g., the z-axis direction) of the electronic device 200 and may be disposed on the outermost portion of the housing 210 (e.g., the end portions of the housing 210 in the x-axis and y-axis directions).

In an embodiment, when portions in which the housing 210 and the printed circuit board 260 coupled to each other are positioned at a distance from one side and the other side of the housing 210, the portions in which the housing 210 is coupled to the printed circuit board 260 may not be disposed at the outermost portions of the housing 210 and the bottom cover 270, thereby relatively reducing the width-wise (e.g., the x-axis direction) length and length-wise (e.g., the y-axis direction) length of the electronic device 200.

In an embodiment, when coupling portions of the housing 210 and the printed circuit board 260 are positioned at a distance from one side and the other side of the housing 210, the size of the electronic device 200 may be reduced compared to when the coupling portions are formed at the outermost portion of the housing 210. For example, when coupling portions of the housing 210 and the printed circuit board 260 are formed at the outermost portion of the housing 210, the thickness of the coupling portions positioned at the outermost portion of the housing 210 may be relatively thicker, thereby increasing the size of the electronic device 200 (e.g., the height-wise length of the electronic device 200).

In an embodiment, when the coupling portions of the housing 210 and the printed circuit board 260 are positioned at a distance from one side and the other side of the housing 210, the coupling portions may be disposed in empty space, which is not used, in the electronic device 200, and the outermost portion of the housing 210 may be formed as only a structure that abuts the outermost portion of the bottom cover 270 without any coupling portion, thereby relatively reducing the size of the electronic device 200 (e.g., the width-wise length and/or height-wise length of the electronic device 200).

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a printed circuit board 300 according to various embodiments.

In describing the printed circuit board 300 according to an embodiment of the disclosure, the width direction of the printed circuit board 300 may refer to the x-axis direction, and the length direction of the printed circuit board 300 may refer to the y-axis direction.

The printed circuit board 300 illustrated in FIG. 4 may refer to the printed circuit board 260 in FIG. 2, or may include at least a portion of the printed circuit board 260 in FIG. 2.

The printed circuit board 300 illustrated in FIG. 4 may include a sensor part 310, a fixing part 320, a connection part 330, a flexible part 340, and/or a connector 350.

In an embodiment, the sensor part 310 may be a region in which an image sensor is included. The sensor part 310 may move along the direction in which the driving part 230 (see FIG. 2) moves. For example, when the camera lens 231 (see FIG. 2) of the driving part 230 (see FIG. 2) is tilted, the sensor part 310 may tilt in a direction substantially the same as the direction in which the camera lens 231 (see FIG. 2) is tilted.

In an embodiment, the sensor part 310 may extend in the width direction and length direction of the printed circuit board 300. For example, the sensor part 310 may extend in the width direction and the length direction of the printed circuit board 300 and may be formed in the shape of a plate having a thickness.

In an embodiment, the fixing part 320 and the flexible part 340 may be disposed outside the sensor part 310.

In an embodiment, the flexible part 340 may be disposed while surrounding at least a portion of the outer perimeter of the sensor part 310. For example, the flexible part 340 may be formed to extend in the width direction and length direction of the printed circuit board 300 outside the perimeter of the sensor part 310.

In an embodiment, at least a portion of the flexible part 340 may be spaced apart from the sensor part 310 in the width direction (e.g., the x-axis direction) of the printed circuit board 300. The region of the flexible part 340 spaced apart from the sensor part 310 in the width direction (e.g., the x-axis direction) of the printed circuit board 300 may extend in the length direction (e.g., the y-axis direction) of the printed circuit board 300.

In an embodiment, at least a portion of the flexible part 340 may be spaced apart in the longitudinal direction (e.g., the y-axis direction) of the sensor part 310 and the printed circuit board 300. The regions of the flexible part 340 that are spaced apart in the length direction (e.g., the y-axis direction) of the sensor part 310 and the printed circuit board 300 may extend in the width direction (e.g., the x-axis direction) of the printed circuit board 300.

In an embodiment, the flexible part 340 may include a connection region 341 that is connected to the sensor part 310.

In an embodiment, the connection region 341 of the flexible part 340 may extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction in which other regions of the flexible part 340 extend. For example, when the region of the flexible part 340 extends in the length direction (e.g., the y-axis direction) of the printed circuit board 300, the connection region 341 may extend in the width direction (e.g., the x-axis direction) of the printed circuit board 300 to be connected to the sensor part 310.

In FIG. 4, the connection region 341 is shown as being connected to the length-wise center or width-wise center of the sensor part 310, but this is an example, and the position where the connection region 341 is disposed may not be limited thereto.

In an embodiment, the fixing part 320 of the printed circuit board 300 may be a region that is fixed to another portion of the electronic device 200 (see FIG. 2). For example, the fixing part 320 may be coupled to the housing 210 (see FIG. 2), and the position the fixing part 320 may be fixed.

In an embodiment, the printed circuit board 300 may include at least one fixing part 320. Referring to FIG. 4, the printed circuit board 300 is illustrated as including three fixing parts 320, but this is an example and the number of fixing parts 320 may not be limited thereto. For example, the printed circuit board 300 may include one fixing part 320.

In an embodiment, the fixing part 320 may include a fixing part hole 321. The fixing part 320 may be fixed to another portion of the electronic device 200 (see FIG. 2) via the fixing part hole 321. For example, the housing 210 (see FIG. 3) may include a coupling region 212 (see FIG. 3) in at least a portion thereof, and the coupling region 212 (see FIG. 3) may be inserted into the fixing part hole 321 to couple the fixing part 320 of the printed circuit board 300 to the housing 210 (see FIG. 3).

In an embodiment, the fixing part 320 may include a first fixing part 320-1 and/or a second fixing part 320-2.

In an embodiment, the first fixing part 320-1 may be positioned on one side and the other side of the sensor part 310. For example, the first fixing part 320-1 may be positioned in the positive x-axis direction and/or the negative x-axis direction relative to the sensor part 310.

In an embodiment, the fixing part 320 may include two first fixing parts 320-1. The two first fixing parts 320-1 may be disposed in symmetrical positions relative to the sensor part 310. For example, one first fixing part 320-1 may be positioned in the negative x-axis direction relative to the sensor part 310, and the other first fixing part 320-1 may be positioned in the positive x-axis direction relative to the sensor part 310.

In an embodiment, the second fixing part 320-2 may be positioned on a side surface perpendicular to one side and the other side of the sensor part 310. For example, the second fixing part 320-2 may be positioned on a side surface of the sensor part 310 facing the negative y-axis direction. The fixing portion 212 may, for example, be fixed to the fixing part 320 by the tab of the fixing portion 212 being inserted into a hole 321 of the fixing part, and may include, for example, snap fitting.

In an embodiment, the outward direction of the sensor part 310 may refer to a direction away from the sensor part 310 with respect to the perimeter of the sensor part 310.

In an embodiment, the fixing part 320 and the flexible part 340 may be position in the outward direction of the sensor part 310.

In an embodiment, at least a portion of the fixing part 320 may be positioned closer to the sensor part 310 compared to the flexible part 340. For example, the first fixing part 320-1 may be disposed between the sensor part 310 and the flexible part 340. One first fixing part 320-1 may be disposed in the negative x-axis direction relative to the sensor part 310, and the flexible part 340 may be disposed in the negative x-axis direction relative to the one first fixing part 320-1. The other first fixing part 320-1 may be disposed in the positive x-axis direction relative to the sensor part 310, and the flexible part 340 may be disposed in the positive x-axis direction relative to the other first fixing part 320-1.

In an embodiment, at least a portion of the fixing part 320 may be connected to the flexible part 340. For example, one end and the other end of the second fixing part 320-2 may be connected to the flexible part 340. Referring to FIG. 4, the one end of the second fixing part 320-2 may refer to an end positioned in the negative x-axis direction relative to the second fixing part 320-2, and the other end of the second fixing part 320-2 may refer to an end positioned in the positive x-axis direction relative to the second fixing part 320-2.

In an embodiment, the distance by which at least a portion of the fixing part 320 is spaced apart from the sensor part 310 may be formed to be substantially equal to the distance by which at least a portion of the flexible part 340 is spaced apart from the sensor part 310. For example, the distance by which at least a portion of the second fixing part 320-2 is spaced apart from the sensor part 310 in the negative y-axis direction may be formed to be substantially equal to the distance by which a portion of the flexible part 340 is spaced apart from the sensor part 310 in the negative y-axis direction.

In an embodiment, the connection part 330 may be a region that connects the sensor part 310 to the fixing part 320.

Referring to FIG. 4, the first fixing part 320-1 may be connected, at one end thereof, to the sensor part 310 via the connection part 330. For example, the connection part 330 may be positioned at an end of the first fixing part 320-1 that faces the negative y-axis direction. The connection part 330 may extend from the first fixing part 320-1 toward the sensor part 310.

Referring to FIG. 4, the second fixing part 320-2 may be connected to the sensor part 310 via the connection part 330. For example, the second fixing part 320-2 may be connected to two connection parts 330, and each of the two connection parts 330 may extend from the second fixing part 320-2 toward the sensor part 310.

In an embodiment, the connection part 330 may be removed after coupling of the printed circuit board 300 to another region (e.g., the housing 210, see FIG. 2) of the electronic device 200 is complete. For example, after the coupling of the printed circuit board 300 to another region (e.g., the housing 210, see FIG. 2) of the electronic device 200 is complete, the connection part 330 may be cut to separate the fixing part 320 from the sensor part 310.

In an embodiment, the removal of the connection part 330 may be accomplished using, for example, laser cutting. For example, at least a portion of the connection part 330 may be cut using the laser cutting to separate the fixing part 320 from the sensor part 310.

In an embodiment, when the connection part 330 is removed from the printed circuit board 300, the sensor part 310 is no longer restricted in movement by the fixing part 320, and thus may move relatively freely.

In an embodiment, the connector 350 may be connected to one region of the printed circuit board 300. For example, the connector 350 may be connected to the fixing part 320 of the printed circuit board 300 via a connector connection part 351. The connector connection part 351 may be formed to extend between the fixing part 320 and the connector 350. The connector 350 may serve to electrically connect the printed circuit board 300 with an external electronic component (e.g., a main printed circuit board on which a processor is mounted).

In an embodiment, the flexible part 340 may be formed to have resistance against external forces. When the flexible part 340 is formed to have relatively strong resistance to external forces, the operation of the electronic device 200 may require a relatively large current.

In the printed circuit board 300 according to an embodiment of the disclosure, the position of the sensor part 310 is fixed by the fixing part 320, thereby allowing the resistance of the flexible part 340 to be relatively low compared to the case where the position of the sensor part 310 is fixed by the flexible part 340. In the printed circuit board 300 according to an embodiment of the disclosure, the resistance of the flexible part 340 is relatively low, thereby reducing the amount of current required for the operation of the electronic device 200.

In an embodiment, the width of the flexible part 340 may be formed to vary at least in part along the direction in which the flexible part 340 extends. The width of the flexible part 340 may refer to the length of the flexible part 340 formed perpendicular to the direction in which the flexible part 340 extends. Referring to FIG. 4, the width of the flexible part 340 may be formed smaller in at least some regions than in other regions. For example, the width of the flexible part 340 positioned close to the first fixing part 320-1 may be formed to be smaller than the width of the flexible part 340 positioned close to the second fixing part 320-2. The width of the flexible part 340 positioned close to the first fixing part 320-1 may be formed relatively small compared to the other regions, and may form a space in which the first fixing part 320-1 may be disposed.

In an embodiment, the flexible part 340 may include a conductor which allows a current to flow therein. The sensor part 310 may be electrically connected to a region other than the sensor part 310 via the flexible part 340.

The second fixing part 320-2 may be spaced apart from the second flexible part 340-2 in the length direction (e.g., the y-axis direction) of the printed circuit board 300-1.

In an embodiment, at least a portion of the fixing part 320 and at least a portion of the flexible part 340 may be disposed on substantially the same line. For example, a portion of the first fixing part 320-1 (e.g., the positive y-axis end of the first fixing part 320-1) may be disposed on the substantially the same line together with a region of the first flexible part 340-1 extending in the y-axis direction. Another portion of the first fixing part 320-1 (e.g., the positive x-axis end of the first fixing part 320-1) may be disposed on substantially the same line together with a region of the second flexible part 340-2 extending in the x-axis direction. A portion of the second fixing part 320-2 (e.g., the negative x-axis end of the second fixing part 320-2) may be disposed on substantially the same line together with a region of the first flexible part 340-1 extending in the x-axis direction.
