An electronic device includes: a housing including a first surface facing a first direction; and a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction, wherein an inner space is formed between the first surface and the second surface; a board disposed in the inner space; a geomagnetic sensor disposed on the board; and a processor. The geomagnetic sensor is configured to detect a first magnetic force, when a first cover part of the cover, including a first magnetic member, is disposed to cover the first surface from the first direction of the electronic device, and detect a second magnetic force, when a second cover part of the cover, including a second magnetic member, is disposed to cover the second surface from the second direction of the electronic device in a state where the first cover part is disposed to cover the first surface from the first direction of the electronic device.

An electronic device frame and an electronic device including the electronic device frame are provided. According to certain example embodiments, the electronic device frame may include a support member. The support member may include a surface area within a predetermined depth from a surface, and a core area corresponding to an area other than the surface area. The surface area may include a planar portion and a plurality of concave portions. An oxide film may be formed on a surface of the support member, and an amount of silicon in the surface area may be less than an amount of silicon in the core area. In addition, various other example embodiments are possible.

The present invention relates to a guide apparatus for installing a protective film on a front surface of a portable electronic device. The guide apparatus according to one embodiment includes: a receiving plate on which the portable electronic device is placed such that a rear surface of the portable electronic device is in contact with the receiving plate; and a retainer for retaining both end corners of a first side of the portable electronic device such that the retainer is in close contact with the first side of the portable electronic device placed on the receiving plate. The retainer is constructed to have a plurality of retaining lengths on the receiving plate.

Techniques for overlay surfaces for compute devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, an overlay surface on a base portion of a compute device can be moved from a folded or closed position (in which it does not cover the keyboard) to an unfolded or open position (in which it covers part of the keyboard). The base portion includes a touch sensor that allows the overlay surface to be used as a touch surface. In another embodiment, an overlay surface of a compute device is movable from one position adjacent a display of the compute device to another position adjacent a base of the compute device. The overlay surface is electrically switchable from a transparent state to an opaque state, allowing the display to be seen through it in one position and allowing it to be used as an opaque drawing surface in another position.

The display module (100) includes: a supporting member (2) and a display panel (2), supporting member (1) includes an interlayer part (11) and a supporting part (12), the surface of the side of the supporting part (12) that is away from the interlayer part (11) is a supporting curved face (121), the supporting curved face (121) protrudes in the direction away from the interlayer part (11), the display panel (2) includes a non-bending part (21), a bending part (22) and a connecting part (23), the non-bending part (21) and the connecting part (23) are located on the two sides of the interlayer part (11) in the thickness direction of the interlayer part (11), the bending part (22) supports the side of the supporting part (12) that is away from the interlayer part (11), and the inner surface of the bending part (22) adheres to the supporting curved face (121).

Techniques for overlay components for compute devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, an overlay component on a base portion of a compute device can be moved from a folded or closed position (in which it does not cover the keyboard) to an unfolded or open position (in which it covers part of the keyboard). The base portion includes a touch sensor that allows the overlay component to be used as a touch surface. In another embodiment, an overlay component of a compute device is movable from one position adjacent a display of the compute device to another position adjacent a base of the compute device. The overlay component is electrically switchable from a transparent state to an opaque state, allowing the display to be seen through it in one position and allowing it to be used as an opaque drawing surface in another position.

A hinge area and processes of forming the hinge area are described. The hinge area is part of cover of a laptop computer. A material used for the cover is of a certain thickness. Stamping and forming a shape that defines the hinge area is performed on the material. The top of the shape is cut to provide for sides of the hinge area. Squeeze forging operations are performed to thicken the sides, and CNC machining is further performed on the sides.

Exemplary arrangements relate to a housing part (100) for an electronic terminal such as a cell phone. The housing part is comprised of carbon fiber reinforced plastic and includes at least one conductive device such as a threaded metallic insert (110) configured for galvanic connection to the electronics that are housed within a housing of the terminal. In an exemplary arrangement the housing part includes a groove (120). The groove is filled with a conductive mass (130) which provides a galvanic connection to the exposed carbon fibers within the groove. The carbon fibers may thereby be in galvanic connection with the ground of the electronics within the housing part, which helps to suppress electronic noise which may be produced by the electronics.

An electronic device includes a housing sidewall defining an opening and a display component, such as a display cover, disposed in the opening to form a gap between the housing sidewall and the display component. In at least one example, the cavity is defined by the sidewall and the display cover with the cavity in fluid communication with an external environment through the gap. In at least one example, an epoxy component at least partially defines the cavity and can be in direct contact with the housing sidewall.
