ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING PANEL FOR CONTROL OF APPLICATION IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
An electronic device includes a hinge configured to foldably connect a first housing to a second housing; a display including a first display area disposed on the first housing, and a second display area and a third display area arranged on the second housing; and at least one processor configured to: in a first state in which the hinge is unfolded, display a first application in the first display area and the second display area, and display, in the third display area, at least one default button, in a second state in which the hinge is folded, control the display to display a panel button, in the third display area, and based on a selection of the panel button in the second state, display the first application in the first display area, and display, in the second display area, a first panel including at least one control button and at least one system button.
Portable communication device including sealing member
A portable communication device or electronic device is provided. The communication device includes a housing including a first housing structure, a second housing structure, and a hinge cover positioned between at least a portion of the first housing structure and at least a portion of the second housing structure, a flexible display at least partially received in the housing and including a first portion corresponding to the first housing structure, a second portion corresponding to the second housing structure, and a third portion corresponding to the hinge cover, a hinge structure positioned between the third portion of the flexible display and the hinge cover and connected with the first housing structure and the second housing structure, and at least one sealing member positioned between the third portion of the flexible display and the hinge cover and contacting the hinge cover.
Electronic apparatus including antenna module
Disclosed is an electronic apparatus comprising: a housing; a display; first antenna structure comprising a first array of antenna elements; second antenna structure comprising a second array of antenna elements; and at least one wireless communication circuit which is electrically connected to the first array and the second array, and transmits and/or receives signals having a frequency between 3 GHz and 100 GHz.
Antenna structure and electronic device including the same
According to various embodiments of the disclosure, an electronic device may comprise: a first housing including a first insulating portion, a second housing including a second insulating portion adjacent to the first insulating portion, a hinge connecting the first housing and the second housing to be pivotable from a folded state to an unfolded state with respect to a pivot shaft, a hinge cover exposed to an outside and covering the hinge in the folded state and including a third insulating portion in at least a partial area thereof, a flexible display configured to be deformable in response to relative motion of the second housing with respect to the first housing, and an antenna structure including an antenna circuit board disposed in at least a partial area of the hinge and a plurality of antenna elements comprising at least one antenna forming an array on or in the antenna circuit board. In the unfolded state, the plurality of antenna elements may be disposed to overlap the first insulating portion and/or the second insulating portion, and in the folded state, the plurality of antenna elements may be disposed to overlap the third insulating portion of the hinge cover.
Folding device of foldable display and display device having the same
Disclosed are a folding device of a foldable display and a display device having the same. The folding device is rotatable sequentially or in stages through a plurality of unit hinges rotated relative to one another about multiple axes. Therefore, the folding device is applicable to both an inner folding type and an outer folding type, and the respective unit hinges are rotated by gear motions and may thus be stably rotated and assure reliability.
Input device attachment
Input device attachment techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a device includes a portion (e.g., an input portion or cover) is configured to be positioned over a display device of a computing device to cover the display device. The device also includes a spine (e.g., a mid-spine) that is physically attached to the portion in a manner that supports rotational movement of the portion in relation to the display device. The physical attachment of the spine is configured to be removable using a magnetic coupling between the spine and a surface of the computing device that includes the display device.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FOLDABLE HOUSING AND FLEXIBLE DISPLAY
Disclosed is an electronic device capable of maintaining flatness of a display by minimizing stress occurring at an inflection point at which a length of the display changes rapidly upon folding.
PORTABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE INCLUDING SEALING MEMBER
A portable communication device or electronic device is provided. The communication device includes a housing including a first housing structure, a second housing structure, and a hinge cover positioned between at least a portion of the first housing structure and at least a portion of the second housing structure, a flexible display at least partially received in the housing and including a first portion corresponding to the first housing structure, a second portion corresponding to the second housing structure, and a third portion corresponding to the hinge cover, a hinge structure positioned between the third portion of the flexible display and the hinge cover and connected with the first housing structure and the second housing structure, and at least one sealing member positioned between the third portion of the flexible display and the hinge cover and contacting the hinge cover.
PORTABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE INCLUDING SEALING MEMBER
A portable communication device or electronic device is provided. The communication device includes a housing including a first housing structure, a second housing structure, and a hinge cover positioned between at least a portion of the first housing structure and at least a portion of the second housing structure, a flexible display at least partially received in the housing and including a first portion corresponding to the first housing structure, a second portion corresponding to the second housing structure, and a third portion corresponding to the hinge cover, a hinge structure positioned between the third portion of the flexible display and the hinge cover and connected with the first housing structure and the second housing structure, and at least one sealing member positioned between the third portion of the flexible display and the hinge cover and contacting the hinge cover.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH METAL FRAME ANTENNA
An electronic device is provided, including a communication circuit; a flexible display; and a foldable housing including a first housing portion and a second housing portion foldable with respect to each other. The first housing portion includes, as a first external side thereof, a first metal portion, a second metal portion, and a first non-metal portion disposed between the first metal portion and the second metal portion. The second housing portion includes, as a second external side thereof, a third metal portion, a fourth metal portion, and a second non-metal portion disposed between the third and fourth metal portions. The first metal portion is electrically connected with the communication circuit and operates as an antenna radiator. When the foldable housing is folded such that the first housing portion contacts the second housing portion, the first non-metal portion and the second non-metal portion are aligned with each other.
