According to various embodiments, a fourth adhesive member <NUM> is disposed in a third gap G3 between the first cover member <NUM> and the extension part <NUM> of the second cover member <NUM>. The fourth adhesive member <NUM> can contribute to coupling durability between the first cover member <NUM> and the second cover member <NUM> in response to an external impact or an external load. The fourth adhesive member <NUM> can contribute to the first junction area <NUM> and the second junction area <NUM> so that the first junction area <NUM> and the second junction area <NUM> are disposed in parallel substantially on the virtual plane P without a height difference therebetween, for example.
