  • Patent number: 11614774
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, an electronic device may include a foldable housing including a hinge module; a first housing connected to the hinge module and including a first surface, a second surface, and a first side member; and a second housing. The first side member includes a first side surface, and a second side surface. The second side surface including a first ending portion of the second side surface adjacent to the first side surface forms at least part of a first curved corner having a first radius, and that a second ending portion of the second side surface adjacent to the hinge module forms at least part of a second curved corner having a second radius smaller than the first radius. Periphery portions of the second side surface are substantially non-orthogonally angled with respect to a periphery portion of the second surface.

  • Patent number: 11357109
    Abstract: An electronic device includes first and second housings rotatably coupled with each other through a hinge, thereby being in a folded state or an unfolded state. The electronic device further includes first and second printed circuit boards (PCBs) disposed in the first and second housings, respectively, and at least one wiring member electrically connecting the first and second PCBs. The electronic device further includes a window disposed over the first and second housings and the hinge, and a display disposed under the window. The display includes a display panel extending in the first housing and having a first FPCB electrically connected to a ground of the first PCB. The display includes a polymer member, a first conductive member disposed in the first housing and electrically connected to the first FPCB, and a second conductive member disposed in the second housing.
