Patent Description:
A portable electronic device such as a smartphone may include various sensors. For example, the portable electronic device may include at least one of a proximity sensor, an illuminance sensor, a proximity illuminance sensor, or an image sensor. Furthermore, the portable electronic device may include a fingerprint sensor. At least one of the sensors is disposed inside the electronic device for the purpose of expanding the size of a display of the electronic device and forming an appealing external appearance. From <CIT> such a portable device is known, the device having a display coupled to a front plate of a housing, a through-hole disposed on the front plate and an imaging sensor inside the housing. Reference is also made to prior art documents <CIT>, <CIT>, <CIT> and <CIT>.

The sensor disposed inside the electronic device may be affected by noise generated from another component of the electronic device. For example, the sensor disposed inside the electronic device may be disposed adjacent to a conductive support member (or, a metal housing, a metal frame, or a metal support member) that are included in the electronic device. In this case, noise generated by a specific component among components of the electronic device may be introduced into the sensor through the conductive support member (or, the metal support member). When the sensor collects signals including noise, the electronic device that processes the signals transferred by the sensor may abnormally operate.

Embodiments of the disclosure address at least the above-mentioned problems and/or disadvantages and provide at least the advantages described below. Accordingly, embodiments of the disclosure provide an electronic device as claimed in appended claim <NUM>. The electronic device may be configured to interrupt a noise transfer path such that noise transferred to the sensor is prevented and/or reduced.

The electronic device including the sensor according to the various embodiments may interrupt at least part of a path along which noise generated in the electronic device is transferred to the sensor, thereby enabling the sensor to collect normal signals.

Hereinafter, various example embodiments of the disclosure may be described with reference to accompanying drawings. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various modifications, equivalents, and/or alternatives on the various example embodiments described herein can be variously made without departing from the scope of the appended claims. With regard to description of drawings, similar components may be marked by similar reference numerals.

In the disclosure, the expressions "have", "may have", "include" and "comprise", or "may include" and "may comprise" used herein indicate existence of corresponding features (e.g., components such as numeric values, functions, operations, or parts) but do not exclude presence of additional features.

In the disclosure, the expressions "A or B", "at least one of A or/and B", or "one or more of A or/and B", and the like may include any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. For example, the term "A or B", "at least one of A and B", or "at least one of A or B" may refer to all of the case (<NUM>) where at least one A is included, the case (<NUM>) where at least one B is included, or the case (<NUM>) where both of at least one A and at least one B are included.

The terms, such as "first", "second", and the like used in the disclosure may be used to refer to various components regardless of the order and/or the priority and to distinguish the relevant components from other components, but do not limit the components. For example, "a first user device" and "a second user device" indicate different user devices regardless of the order or priority. For example, without departing the scope of the disclosure, a first component may be referred to as a second component, and similarly, a second component may be referred to as a first component.

It will be understood that when a component (e.g., a first component) is referred to as being "(operatively or communicatively) coupled with/to" or "connected to" another component (e.g., a second component), it may be directly coupled with/to or connected to the other component or an intervening component (e.g., a third component) may be present. When a component (e.g., a first component) is referred to as being "directly coupled with/to" or "directly connected to" another component (e.g., a second component), it should be understood that there are no intervening components (e.g., a third component).

According to the situation, the expression "configured to" used in the disclosure may be used as, for example, the expression "suitable for", "having the capacity to", "designed to", "adapted to", "made to", or "capable of". The term "configured to" does not refer only "specifically designed to" in hardware. Instead, the expression "a device configured to" may refer to the device being "capable of" operating together with another device or other parts. For example, a "processor configured to (or set to) perform A, B, and C" may refer, for example, to a dedicated processor (e.g., an embedded processor) for performing a corresponding operation or a generic-purpose processor (e.g., a central processing unit (CPU) or an application processor) which performs corresponding operations by executing one or more software programs which are stored in a memory device.

Terms used in the disclosure are used to describe example embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. The terms of a singular form may include plural forms unless otherwise specified. All the terms used herein, which include technical or scientific terms, may have the same meaning that is generally understood by a person skilled in the art. It will be further understood that terms, which are defined in a dictionary and commonly used, should also be interpreted as is customary in the relevant related art and not in an idealized or overly formal unless expressly so defined in various embodiments of the disclosure. In some cases, even if terms are terms which are defined in the disclosure, they may not be interpreted to exclude embodiments of the disclosure.

In some embodiments, the electronic device <NUM> may omit at least one of the aforementioned components (e.g., at least one of the first support member <NUM>, the electromagnetic induction panel <NUM>, or the pen input device <NUM>), or may additionally include other component(s). At least one of the components of the electronic device <NUM> may be the same as, or similar to, at least one of the components of the electronic device <NUM> of <FIG>, and repetitive descriptions may not be repeated here.

The display <NUM> may include a plurality of pixels related to displaying a screen. According to an embodiment, the plurality of pixels may be disposed in a matrix form. A printed circuit board may be disposed in connection with driving the display <NUM>. The printed circuit board may be disposed on a rear surface of the display <NUM> (e.g., a surface opposite to the surface on which the screen is displayed or a surface facing in a second direction (- y-axis direction)). According to an embodiment, a display driver IC (DDI) may be disposed on the printed circuit board related to driving the display <NUM>. At least one sensor <NUM> (e.g., a fingerprint sensor) may be disposed on at least one side of the rear surface of the display <NUM>. In this case, the printed circuit board may have an opening having a size corresponding to the sensor <NUM> (e.g., a hole or a recess, or an opening having a smaller size than the sensor <NUM>) to allow the sensor <NUM> to collect light (or, a signal) through the rear surface of the display <NUM>. According to an embodiment, the sensor <NUM> may be disposed on at least part of the printed circuit board. The sensor <NUM> may obtain at least part of light external to the electronic device <NUM> through the opening and may obtain information corresponding to a fingerprint, based on the obtained light. According to an embodiment, the display <NUM> may include a panel layer in which at least one pixel used to display the screen is disposed and a rear panel (e.g., at least one of an embo layer, a heat dissipation layer, or a copper layer) that is disposed under the panel layer. At least part of the rear panel may be removed from the rear surface of the display <NUM>, on which the sensor <NUM> is disposed, such that light or a signal can be transmitted.

According to an embodiment, the sensor <NUM> may be disposed on an upper side or a lower side of the display <NUM>. The sensor <NUM> may include a sensing part 325_1 and a flexible printed circuit board 325_2. The sensing part 325_1 may collect light that is emitted from at least one pixel among the plurality of pixels disposed in the display <NUM> and that is reflected by a user's fingerprint brought into contact with a front surface of the display <NUM> (e.g., a surface facing in a first direction (+ y-axis direction)). The sensing part 325_1 may include a light emitting portion that emits light (or, a signal) in the first direction (+ y-axis direction) (or, the direction toward the front surface of the display <NUM>) and a light receiving portion that collects the light (or, the signal) reflected after being emitted. According to an embodiment, the sensor <NUM> may obtain ultrasonic waves reflected by a part of the user's body (e.g., at least part of a finger) that is brought into contact with the front surface of the display <NUM> and may obtain information corresponding to the fingerprint of the user, based on the obtained ultrasonic waves. The flexible printed circuit board 325_2 may be electrically connected to the sensing part 325_1 and may transfer at least a part of signals collected by the sensing part 325_1 to a processor of the electronic device <NUM>. At least part of the sensor <NUM> may be disposed adjacent to the conductive support member <NUM>.

The electromagnetic induction panel <NUM> (e.g., a digitizer) may be a panel for detecting an input of the pen input device <NUM>. For example, the electronic device <NUM> may include a digitizer capable of detecting an input by a digital pen brought into contact with, or adjacent to, at least part of the display <NUM>, based on an electromagnetic induction method. According to an embodiment, a capacitive digitizer may be applied as a technology for recognizing the digital pen. The capacitive digitizer may allow current to flow over the display <NUM> and may detect and recognize a change generated by contact of a conductor (e.g., a digital pen). The digital pen may be classified into an electromagnetic resonance (EMR) type digital pen using an electromagnetic resonance method and an active electrostatic solution (AES) type digital pen using an active electrostatic method. For example, in the case of the EMR type digital pen, a separate panel called a digitizer may be disposed in the display <NUM>, and the electronic device <NUM> may recognize the position of the digital pen by using a coil in the digital pen through which current flows and a wireless frequency. For example, when the digitizer generates a magnetic field and sends the magnetic field to the digital pen, the digital pen may detect the magnetic field and may transfer, through a circuit in the digital pen, energy transmitted to the digital pen as a wireless frequency signal to measure the strength of the signal. The AES type digital pen may include an electromagnetism generator therein without a separate digitizer. Because the digitizer is sensitive to electromagnetism and noise, a shield sheet is required to interrupt interference for internal or external noise or an electromagnetic field. For example, the electromagnetic induction panel <NUM> may include a printed circuit board (PCB) (e.g., a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB)) and a shield sheet. The shield sheet may prevent interference between the components by electromagnetic fields generated from the components (e.g., the display panel, the printed circuit board, and the electromagnetic induction panel) that are included in the electronic device <NUM>. The shield sheet may block the electromagnetic fields generated from the components, thereby allowing an input from the pen input device <NUM> to be accurately transferred to a coil included in the electromagnetic induction panel <NUM>.

With reference to <FIG>, the structure in which the sensor <NUM> is disposed on the rear surface of the display <NUM> is illustrated. However, in a case where the sensor <NUM> is added to at least one surface of the electromagnetic induction panel <NUM>, the sensor <NUM> may be disposed on the bottom of the electromagnetic induction panel <NUM>. In this case, the electromagnetic induction panel <NUM> may include an opening <NUM> formed in at least a partial area corresponding to the sensor <NUM> mounted in the electronic device <NUM>. In a case where a plurality of sensors <NUM> are disposed, a plurality of openings <NUM> may be formed. In a case where the sensor <NUM> is disposed only on a lower side of the rear surface of the display <NUM>, the opening <NUM> may be located on a lower side to correspond to the position of the sensor <NUM>.

The first support member <NUM> may be formed of, for example, a metallic material and/or a non-metallic material (e.g., a polymer, a magnesium material, or an alloy). The display <NUM> may be coupled to one surface of the first support member <NUM> (e.g., a surface facing in the first direction (+ y-axis direction)), and the first printed circuit board <NUM> may be coupled to an opposite surface of the first support member <NUM> (e.g., a surface facing in the second direction (e.g., - y-axis direction)). The first support member <NUM> may be provided in a form integrated with the conductive support member <NUM>, or may be formed together when the conductive support member <NUM> is formed. A first coupling area 310_1 to which a fixing member <NUM> for fixing the board support member <NUM> is coupled may be formed on one side of the first support member <NUM>. The first coupling area 310_1 may include a recess (or, a hole) and a thread formed on an inner wall of the recess (or, the hole), in which the recess (or, the hole) is formed in a direction (e.g., the second direction (- y-axis direction)) toward the first printed circuit board <NUM> from a surface (or, an upper surface) of the conductive support member <NUM> that faces in the first direction (+ y-axis direction). Depending on the form of the fixing member <NUM>, the first coupling area 310_1 may be formed in a stopping structure to which a hook is coupled.

For example, the second printed circuit board <NUM> may have a smaller size than the first printed circuit board <NUM>. The second printed circuit board <NUM> may be disposed substantially side by side with the first printed circuit board <NUM> (e.g., may be disposed side by side with the first printed circuit board <NUM> in a state of being spaced apart from the first printed circuit board <NUM> at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction) and may be electrically connected with the first printed circuit board <NUM> by an interposer 345a.

For example, the first insulating member <NUM> may be formed in a size corresponding to the size of at least part of the antenna structure <NUM>, or may be formed to be equal to or larger than the area where the back plate <NUM> (or, the antenna pad) on which the at least one antenna structure <NUM> is disposed and the board support member <NUM> overlap each other when viewed from above the electronic device <NUM> (e.g., when viewed in the second direction (- y-axis direction)). The first insulating member <NUM> may have a size corresponding to the board support member <NUM> (or, a size corresponding to a cover portion of the board support member <NUM> that protrudes upward). In another case, the first insulating member <NUM> may have a size corresponding to the size of the area where the antenna structure <NUM> and the board support member <NUM> overlap each other when the antenna structure <NUM> and the board support member <NUM> are disposed in the vertical direction. According to various embodiments, the first insulating member <NUM> may be formed in a size to cover the entire antenna structure <NUM>.

According to an embodiment, the first insulating member <NUM> may have a specified thickness (e.g., <NUM> (micro-meters)) or more to block noise by a signal (e.g., a wireless power signal) supplied through the antenna structure <NUM> (e.g., to interrupt induction of an AC power signal or a noise signal of hundreds of KHz). According to an embodiment, in a case of blocking noise by power related to wireless charging, a significant noise removal effect may be experimentally obtained when an insulating member has a thickness of <NUM> or more, and a clear noise removal effect may be experimentally obtained when an insulating member has a thickness of <NUM> or more. According to an embodiment, the first insulating member <NUM> may have a thickness of <NUM> or more, or <NUM> or more. The thickness of the first insulating member <NUM> may vary depending on a frequency used in wireless charging or the magnitude of power supplied by wireless charging. According to an embodiment, a noise path along which noise affecting the flexible printed circuit board 325_2 of the sensor <NUM> is generated may be formed through a wireless charger, the antenna structure <NUM>, the board support member <NUM>, the fixing member <NUM>, and the conductive support member <NUM>, and the first insulating member <NUM> may be disposed between the antenna structure <NUM> and the board support member <NUM> on the noise path to interrupt the path along which noise is transferred.

Although it has been illustrated by way of non-limiting example that the electronic device <NUM> includes the electromagnetic induction panel <NUM> and the pen input device <NUM>, the disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the electronic device <NUM> may not include the electromagnetic induction panel <NUM> and the pen input device <NUM>.

<FIG> is a sectional view illustrating an example of a section of some components of the electronic device, where the section is taken along line A-A' in <FIG> according to various embodiments.

Referring to <FIG>, the electronic device <NUM> may include the display <NUM>, the conductive support member <NUM>, the first printed circuit board <NUM>, the second printed circuit board <NUM>, at least one interposer 345a, the board support member <NUM>, the first insulating member <NUM>, and the antenna structure <NUM>. Additionally, the electronic device <NUM> may further include at least one of the back plate <NUM>, the front plate <NUM>, the electromagnetic induction panel <NUM>, or the pen input device <NUM> described above with reference to <FIG>.

Referring to <FIG>, the sensor <NUM> may be disposed on one side of the upper surface of the display <NUM> (or, the rear surface or the surface facing in the second direction (- y-axis direction)) that is opposite to the front surface (e.g., the surface facing in the first direction (+ y-axis direction)) on which the screen is displayed. According to an embodiment, the sensor <NUM> may be formed in a size corresponding to the front surface of the display <NUM>. For example, the sensor <NUM> may be formed to recognize the user's fingerprint brought into contact with the front surface of the display <NUM>. For convenience of description, the sensor <NUM> is illustrated as being disposed on a central portion of the display <NUM>. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the sensor <NUM> may be eccentrically disposed on a left or right side of the display <NUM> based on the illustrated drawing. Noise may be transferred to the sensor <NUM> through the conductive support member <NUM>. Therefore, in a case where the first insulating member <NUM> is not present, noise induced to the antenna structure <NUM> may affect the sensor <NUM> through the conductive support member <NUM> irrespective of the position of the sensor <NUM> on the rear surface of the display <NUM>.

The conductive support member <NUM> may be disposed over the sensor <NUM>, and the first printed circuit board <NUM>, the second printed circuit board <NUM>, and the board support member <NUM> disposed to surround the second printed circuit board <NUM> may be stacked above at least part of the conductive support member <NUM>. The first insulating member <NUM> and the antenna structure <NUM> may be disposed on the top of the board support member <NUM>. The antenna structure <NUM> may include at least one antenna. The at least one antenna may be disposed as a pattern on at least part of the back plate <NUM>, and an insulating layer may be disposed on the top of the antenna pattern. Alternatively, the at least one antenna may be formed as a pattern on a separate antenna pad, and the antenna pad having the antenna pattern formed thereon may be disposed between the first insulating member <NUM> and the back plate <NUM>.

The above-described arrangement structure has been described based on the assumption that the front surface of the display <NUM> on which the screen is displayed faces downward (faces in the first direction (+ y-axis direction)). However, the arrangement structure may be differently expressed depending on a reference point. For example, in a case where the front surface of the display <NUM> faces in the second direction (- y-axis direction), the first insulating member <NUM> is disposed under the antenna structure <NUM>, the board support member <NUM>, the second printed circuit board <NUM>, the first printed circuit board <NUM>, the conductive support member <NUM>, and the display <NUM> are sequentially disposed below the first insulating member <NUM>, and the sensor <NUM> is disposed between the conductive support member <NUM> and the display <NUM>. Furthermore, the above-described arrangement structure (or, stack structure) has been described based on cutting line A-A' in <FIG>. However, an arrangement form may vary depending on the position of the cutting line.

The board support member <NUM> may include, for example, a cover portion 346_1 (e.g., an inverted "U" shape) that covers the second printed circuit board <NUM> and a flange portion 346_2 (e.g., a polygonal strap shape) that is formed at the periphery of the cover portion 346_1 and that has a predetermined width. For protection of the second printed circuit board <NUM>, at least part of the board support member <NUM> may be formed of a metallic material (e.g., SUS). The board support member <NUM> may serve to block noise generated from the second printed circuit board <NUM>. At least one coupling hole 346_3 may be formed in the flange portion 346_2. For example, in a case where the flange portion 346_2 has a rectangular strap shape, at least one coupling hole 346_3 may be formed in each corner area of the rectangular strap. Accordingly, the flange portion 346_2 may have a plurality of coupling holes 346_3 formed therein. At least part of the fixing member <NUM> may be located in the coupling hole 346_3.

The second printed circuit board <NUM> may have at least one electronic component disposed thereon and may include a lead (or, a sidewall or an interposer) for connection with the first printed circuit board <NUM>. The distance between the second printed circuit board <NUM> and the first printed circuit board <NUM> may be smaller than the height of the cover portion 346_1 of the board support member <NUM>. Alternatively, an insulating layer may be formed between the inside of the cover portion 346_1 of the board support member <NUM> and the second printed circuit board <NUM>, or a heat transfer member (e.g., a thermal interface material (TIM)) (or, a heat dissipation member) for radiating heat generated from the second printed circuit board <NUM> to the outside or transferring the heat to the board support member <NUM> may be disposed between the inside of the cover portion 346_1 of the board support member <NUM> and the second printed circuit board <NUM>.

At least one through-hole 340_3 may be formed on one side of the first printed circuit board <NUM>. For example, the at least one through-hole 340_3 may be formed at at least one point in an area of the first printed circuit board <NUM> that faces the flange portion 346_2 of the board support member <NUM>. According to an embodiment, the at least one through-hole 340_3 formed in the first printed circuit board <NUM> may be formed at a position corresponding to the position of the coupling hole 346_3 formed in the board support member <NUM>.

The conductive support member <NUM> may include, in a position facing the through-hole 340_3 formed in the first printed circuit board <NUM>, the first coupling area 310_1 to which the fixing member <NUM> is fixed. On one side of the conductive support member <NUM>, the first coupling area 310_1 may be provided in the form of a recess or a hole (e.g., a hole formed through front and rear surfaces of the conductive support member <NUM>), and a thread may be formed on at least part of an inner wall forming the hole.

As the above-described first insulating member <NUM> of the electronic device <NUM> is disposed between the antenna structure <NUM> and the board support member <NUM>, the first insulating member <NUM> may serve to block noise during wireless charging such that noise generated through the antenna structure <NUM> is not transferred to the board support member <NUM>. Accordingly, even though the sensor <NUM> is disposed adjacent to the conductive support member <NUM> or has a structure in which at least part of the sensor <NUM> is brought into contact with the conductive support member <NUM>, no noise may be transferred to the sensor <NUM>. Thus, a signal collection operation of the sensor <NUM> may be normally performed, or a signal collected by the sensor <NUM> may include a normal signal having no noise.

Referring to <FIG>, the conductive support member <NUM> is illustrated as surrounding the first printed circuit board <NUM>. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, part of the conductive support member <NUM> or at least a partial structure of the first support member <NUM> may be formed in a structure to surround the first printed circuit board <NUM>.

<FIG> is a sectional view illustrating an example section of the electronic device having a noise blocking path according to various embodiments.

Referring to <FIG>, the electronic device <NUM> may include the display <NUM>, the conductive support member <NUM>, the first printed circuit board <NUM>, a second insulating member <NUM>, the second printed circuit board <NUM>, the at least one interposer 345a, the board support member <NUM>, a third insulating member <NUM>, and the antenna structure <NUM>. The electronic device <NUM> may further include at least one of the back plate <NUM> disposed on the antenna structure <NUM> or the front plate <NUM> disposed on the front surface of the display <NUM>. Furthermore, depending on a structure, the electronic device <NUM> may include only one of the second insulating member <NUM> or the third insulating member <NUM>.

The electronic device <NUM> may not include a separate insulating member between the antenna structure <NUM> and the board support member <NUM>, which is formed of a metallic material or a material capable of transferring electrical noise, and therefore noise generated by the antenna structure <NUM> may be transferred to the board support member <NUM>. In this regard, the electronic device <NUM> may include the second insulating member <NUM> such that the board support member <NUM> is in a state (e.g., a floating state) of being spaced apart from the conductive support member <NUM> at a predetermined interval. For example, the second insulating member <NUM> may be disposed between the flange portion 346_2 of the board support member <NUM> and the first printed circuit board <NUM>. According to an embodiment, the second insulating member <NUM> may be disposed between the flange portion 346_2 and the first printed circuit board <NUM>. Alternatively, the second insulating member <NUM> may be disposed between the area around the coupling hole 346_3 and the area around the through-hole 340_3. The second insulating member <NUM> may serve to interrupt electrical connection between the board support member <NUM> formed of a metallic material and the first printed circuit board <NUM>.

At least one third insulating member <NUM> may be disposed on the flange portion 346_2 of the board support member <NUM>. For example, at least part of the third insulating member <NUM> may be disposed on one surface of the area around the coupling hole 346_3 formed in the flange portion 346_2 (e.g., an upper surface of the flange portion 346_2). The third insulating member <NUM> may be disposed between the flange portion 346_2 and the head of the fixing member <NUM> and may interrupt electrical connection between the board support member <NUM> and the fixing member <NUM>.

According to various embodiments, a copper-foil-removed area 340_1 from which copper foil is removed may be formed on the area around the through-hole 340_3 of the first printed circuit board <NUM> and therefore the first printed circuit board <NUM> may be electrically separated (or, isolated) from the fixing member <NUM>. Furthermore, although the flange portion 346_2 of the board support member <NUM> and one surface of the first printed circuit board <NUM> are physically connected in the copper-foil-removed area 340_1, the flange portion 346_2 of the board support member <NUM> and the one surface of the first printed circuit board <NUM> may be electrically isolated from each other by the removal of the copper foil.

According to various embodiments, the fixing member <NUM> may be formed of a metallic material. The fixing member <NUM> may be electrically separated from the board support member <NUM> through the third insulating member <NUM>. The fixing member <NUM> may pass through the coupling hole 346_3 of the board support member <NUM> and the through-hole 340_3 of the first printed circuit board <NUM> and may be coupled to the first coupling area 310_1 formed on the conductive support member <NUM>. Accordingly, even though the fixing member <NUM> is formed of a metallic material, the board support member <NUM> and the conductive support member <NUM> may be electrically separated from each other, and noise transferred to the board support member <NUM> through the antenna structure <NUM> may be blocked without being transferred to the conductive support member <NUM>. To interrupt electrical connection between the fixing member <NUM> and the board support member <NUM>, the width (or, the thickness or the diameter of a pillar) of the fixing member <NUM> may be smaller than the width (or, the diameter) of the coupling hole 346_3 of the board support member <NUM>. The through-hole 340_3 formed in the first printed circuit board <NUM> may have a greater width (or, diameter) than the fixing member <NUM>, or the copper-foil-removed area 340_1 from which the copper foil is removed may be formed around the through-hole 340_3. Accordingly, the first printed circuit board <NUM> may be electrically separated from the fixing member <NUM> by the removal of the copper foil even though making physical contact with the fixing member <NUM>. For example, the copper-foil-removed area 340_1 may include a removal area to prevent transfer of noise despite contact, by removing conductivity by copper foil.

As described above, the electronic device <NUM> according to the embodiment may interrupt electrical connection between the fixing member <NUM>, which fixes the board support member <NUM> to the conductive support member <NUM>, and the board support member <NUM>, thereby interrupting a noise introduction path. According to various embodiments, the fixing member <NUM> may be formed of a non-conductive material (e.g., plastic, reinforced plastic, or magnesium alloy). In this case, at least one of the second insulating member <NUM> or the third insulating member <NUM> may be removed. According to various embodiments, in a case where the flange portion 346_2 of the board support member <NUM> is formed of a non-conductive material, the separate copper-foil-removed area 340_1 may not be formed on the upper surface of the first printed circuit board <NUM> (e.g., the surface of the first printed circuit board <NUM> that faces the flange portion 346_2).

According to various embodiments, for floating of the board support member <NUM>, the second insulating member <NUM>, the third insulating member <NUM>, and the copper-foil-removed area 340_1 may all be identically applied to a plurality of fixing members <NUM>. The second insulating member <NUM>, the third insulating member <NUM>, and the copper-foil-removed area 340_1 may be differently applied depending on the positions of the fixing members <NUM>. For example, in a process in which four fixing members fix one side of the board support member <NUM> to the conductive support member <NUM> with the first printed circuit board <NUM> therebetween, the third insulating member <NUM> and the copper-foil removed area 340_1 may be applied to fixing members on one side, and the second insulating member <NUM>, the third insulating member <NUM>, and the copper-foil-removed area 340_1 may all be applied to fixing members on an opposite side.

<FIG> is a diagram illustrating an example rear surface of the board support member located on a noise transfer path according to various embodiments, and <FIG> is a diagram illustrating an example front surface of the board support member located on the noise transfer path according to various embodiments. In the drawings, B <NUM>-B <NUM>' represents a section obtained by cutting one side of the board support member of <FIG>, and B2-B2' represents a section obtained by cutting one side of the board support member of <FIG>.

Referring to <FIG> and <FIG>, as described above, the board support member <NUM> may include the cover portion 346_1 and the flange portion 346_2. The cover portion 346_1 may have a lid shape that is empty inside, and at least part of the second printed circuit board <NUM> may be disposed inside the cover portion 346_1. According to an embodiment, the cover portion 346_1 may include an upper surface and sidewalls vertically extending from the periphery of the upper surface. The height of the sidewalls may be greater than the height of the second printed circuit board <NUM>. According to an embodiment, the height of the sidewalls may be greater than the overall height of the second printed circuit board <NUM>, at least one electrical element disposed on the second printed circuit board <NUM>, and electrical elements disposed on the first printed circuit board <NUM>.

A plurality of coupling holes 346_3 may be formed in the flange portion 346_2. For example, the coupling holes 346_3 may be formed in respective corners of the flange portion 346_2. The second insulating member <NUM> may be disposed on one surface of the area around each of the coupling holes 346_3 (e.g., a lower surface facing the first printed circuit board <NUM>). The second insulating member <NUM> may have a size larger than the diameter D2 of the pillar of the fixing member <NUM> inserted. For electrical separation between the fixing member <NUM> and the flange portion 346_2, the first diameter D1 of the coupling hole 346_3 may be greater than the second diameter D2 of the fixing member <NUM>. An insulating material may be applied to an inner surface of the coupling hole 346_3. In another case, the area around the coupling hole 346_3 may be formed of a material (e.g., a non-conductive material) that is different from the material of the other area of the flange portion 346_2.

The third insulating member <NUM> may be disposed on an opposite surface of the area around the coupling hole 346_3 of the flange portion 346_2 (e.g., an upper surface opposite to the first printed circuit board <NUM>). The third insulating member <NUM> may have a larger size than the head of the fixing member <NUM>. According to various embodiments, the third insulating member <NUM> may have the same size as the second insulating member <NUM>. The third insulating member <NUM> may interrupt electrical connection between the board support member <NUM> and the fixing member <NUM>.

Referring to <FIG>, the entirety or at least part of the electronic device <NUM> may include the display <NUM>, the conductive support member <NUM>, the first printed circuit board <NUM>, the second printed circuit board <NUM>, the at least one interposer 345a, the board support member <NUM> including the cover portion 346_1 and the flange portion 346_2, and the antenna structure <NUM>. At least one sensor <NUM> may be disposed between the display <NUM> and the conductive support member <NUM>, and a second coupling area 310_3 formed on one side of the conductive support member <NUM> may be formed of a non-conductive material.

According to an embodiment, the conductive support member <NUM> may include the second coupling area 310_3 coupled with the fixing member <NUM> that is formed of a metallic material and is used to couple the board support member <NUM>. In a case where a plurality of fixing members <NUM> are provided, a plurality of second coupling areas 310_3 may be provided to correspond to the fixing members <NUM>, respectively. The conductive support member <NUM> may include a recess or a hole such that the second coupling area 310_3 is formed. The second coupling area 310_3 may be formed of a non-conductive material. According to an embodiment, an opening 310_3a of the conductive support member <NUM> may have a smaller diameter than the interior 310_3b, and the interior 310_3b may have a larger diameter than the opening 310_3a. Correspondingly, the conductive support member <NUM> may include a recess in a jar or pot shape (or, a hole that is open toward the display <NUM>). The second coupling area 310_3 may be formed in the recess or the hole with a non-conductive material (e.g., plastic or a non-conductive injection-molded structure) and may have a recess shape that is coupled with the fixing member <NUM>. According to various embodiments, the conductive support member <NUM> may include a recess, the second coupling area 310_3 may have, inside the conductive support member <NUM>, a recess formed with an injection-molded structure, the recess may have a shape that is coupled with the fixing member <NUM> (e.g., a recess having an internal thread or a recess formed for hook coupling).

Even when the fixing member <NUM> is electrically connected to the coupling hole 346_3 of the flange portion 346_2 of the board support member <NUM>, noise induced through the antenna structure <NUM> may be blocked without being transferred to the conductive support member <NUM> because the conductive support member <NUM> and one side of the fixing member <NUM> are electrically separated from each other.

According to various embodiments, a ground area 340_5 of the first printed circuit board <NUM> may be electrically connected with the fixing member <NUM> through a ground terminal 340_b. At least part of noise transferred through the board support member <NUM> may be removed through the ground area 340_5 of the first printed circuit board <NUM>. In the illustrated drawing, the ground area 340_5 is illustrated as being disposed in a lower area of the first printed circuit board <NUM>. However, a bottom surface of the first printed circuit board <NUM> may be formed of an insulating layer and may be electrically separated from the conductive support member <NUM>.

Referring to <FIG>, the entirety or at least part of the electronic device <NUM> may include the display <NUM>, the conductive support member <NUM>, the first printed circuit board <NUM>, the second printed circuit board <NUM>, the at least one interposer 345a, the board support member <NUM>, and the antenna structure <NUM>. At least one sensor <NUM> may be disposed between the display <NUM> and the conductive support member <NUM>, and a fourth insulating member <NUM> may be disposed between the conductive support member <NUM> and the sensor <NUM>.

For example, the fourth insulating member <NUM> may be disposed on the flexible printed circuit board 325_2 (or, a wiring part) of the sensor <NUM> (e.g., the fourth insulating member <NUM> may be formed of an insulating tape (or, a conductive tape) and may be disposed to cover a wiring area included in the flexible printed circuit board 325_2) and may block noise induced to the flexible printed circuit board 325_2 of the sensor <NUM> through the conductive support member <NUM>. According to various embodiments, the fourth insulating member <NUM> may be formed to surround the flexible printed circuit board 325_2 (e.g., may be formed in a tube shape or in a shielding part shape that surrounds an upper portion and a lower portion of the flexible printed circuit board 325_2 or surrounds the upper and lower portions and the entire lateral portion of the flexible printed circuit board 325_2). According to various embodiments, the second coupling area 310_3 formed on the conductive support member <NUM> of the electronic device <NUM> may be formed of a non-conductive material. The electronic device <NUM> may more firmly interrupt a path along which noise is introduced through the second coupling area 310_3 together with the fourth insulating member <NUM>.

The embodiments in which the insulating members are disposed in the various positions such that an electrical signal induced through the antenna structure <NUM> is not transferred to the sensor <NUM> have been described above with reference to <FIG>, <FIG>, <FIG>, <FIG>, <FIG> and <FIG>. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the arrangement structures of the insulating members <NUM>, <NUM>, <NUM>, and <NUM>, the form of the second coupling area 310_3, and operation of the ground area 340_5 may be applied in combination.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device <NUM> may include at least one of the first insulating member <NUM> disposed between the board support member <NUM> and the antenna structure <NUM>, the second insulating member <NUM> disposed between the board support member <NUM> and the first printed circuit board <NUM>, the third insulating member <NUM> disposed between the board support member <NUM> and the head of the fixing member <NUM>, or the fourth insulating member <NUM> disposed between the sensor <NUM> and the conductive support member <NUM>. Furthermore, the electronic device <NUM> may have the conductive support member <NUM> including only the second coupling area 310_3 that is formed of a non-conductive material independently of the first to fourth insulating members <NUM>. The electronic device <NUM> may have a structure including at least one of the first to fourth insulating members <NUM> to <NUM> and the second coupling area 310_3. The structure that electrically connects the ground area 340_5 with the fixing member <NUM> may be applied to the electronic device <NUM> together with at least one of the first to fourth insulating members <NUM> to <NUM> and the second coupling area 310_3 formed of a non-conductive material, or may be independently applied to the electronic device <NUM>. According to various embodiments, the configuration in which the fixing member <NUM> is formed of a non-conductive material may also be applied to the electronic device <NUM> together with at least one of the first to fourth insulating members <NUM> to <NUM> and the second coupling area 310_3 formed of a non-conductive material, or may be independently applied to the electronic device <NUM>. The structures including some components of the electronic device <NUM> (e.g., the display, the conductive support member, the printed circuit boards, the board support member, the antenna structure, and at least one insulating member) have been described above with reference to <FIG>, <FIG>, <FIG>, <FIG>, <FIG> and <FIG>. However, the components described above with reference to <FIG> and <FIG> may be added to the electronic device <NUM> described above with reference to <FIG>, <FIG>, <FIG>, <FIG>, <FIG> and <FIG>, or a structure in which at least some of the components described above with reference to <FIG> and <FIG> are removed (e.g., a structure in which a board support member is disposed on one printed circuit board and the board support member is disposed adjacent to an antenna structure and is coupled with a conductive support member through a fixing member) may be applied.
