Abstract: An electronic device include: a first housing; a second housing; a display module including a flexible substrate, a TFT layer on the flexible substrate, a protection layer on the TFT layer, and a deformation region which deforms as a relative position between the first housing and the second housing changes; a bending portion including a first layer integral with the flexible substrate and bent, and a second layer integral with the TFT layer, bent and laminated on the first layer; a display driver IC (DDI) in the bending portion; a touch wire on the protection layer to be connected to a touch circuit; and a detection wire on the protection layer in the deformation region and having an electrical value changeable by physical damage to the protection layer. The detection wire extends from the protection layer to the second layer so as to be electrically connected to the DDI.

Abstract: A foldable electronic device is provided, which includes a hinge structure, a first housing that is connected to the hinge structure, a second housing that is connected to the hinge, a first vibration element disposed in the first housing, a first motion sensor disposed adjacent to the first vibration element, a second motion sensor disposed in the second housing, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to control vibration intensity of the first vibration element, based on a first value measured from the first motion sensor and a second value measured from the second motion sensor.

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. The electronic device further includes a supporting member disposed between the second conductive member and the second PCB in the second housing. The second conductive member is electrically connected to the second PCB through a conductive region of the supporting member and electrically connected to the ground of the first PCB through the wiring member.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a first plate, a second plate, and a third plate connecting the first plate and the second plate to be pivotable from a folded state of the first plate and the second plate to an unfolded state, a flexible display extending from the first plate across the third plate to the second plate, and at least one waterproofing member disposed on two lengthwise opposite ends of the third plate. The first plate may include at least one first recessed portion recessed inward from at least a portion of an edge of the first plate. The second plate may include at least one second recessed portion recessed inward from at least a portion of an edge of the second plate. At least a portion of the third plate may include a portion formed in a lattice pattern. The third plate may be formed to be shorter in length than the first plate and the second plate. The at least one first recessed portion and the at least one second recessed portion may be disposed in two lengthwise opposite ends of the third plate.
