CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a 371 of International Application No. PCT/KR2019/011459 filed on Sep. 5, 2019, which claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0117377 filed on Oct. 2, 2018, the disclosures of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.

BACKGROUND

1. Field

Various embodiments of the disclosure described herein relate to an electronic device having a structure for connecting a display and a conductive supporting member through a conductive adhesive member.

2. Description of Related Art

Electronic devices, such as smartphones, wearable devices, and the like, which are equipped with antennas have been widely used with the development of mobile communication technologies. The electronic devices receive or transmit signals including data (e.g., a message, a photo, a video, a music file, a game, or the like) using the antennas. The electronic devices transfer signals received through the antennas to radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs).

With the compactness of the electronic devices, the electronic devices may use parts of side bezel structures of the electronic devices as parts (e.g., radiators) of the antennas to more efficiently receive or transmit signals in limited mounting spaces. For example, an electronic device may transmit and receive wireless signals in a specified frequency band using at least part of a side bezel structure located in an upper portion and/or a lower portion of the electronic device.

Displays of electronic devices have become larger. For example, an electronic device may include, on the front thereof, a bezel-less display or a full display that does not include a bezel. Due to the large area display of the electronic device, the distance between the front display and a side bezel structure of the electronic device may be decreased. As the distance between the side bezel structure and the display is decreased, electrical coupling between the side bezel structure and the display may be strengthened.

The display may include a display panel including a plurality of pixels and a display driver IC configured to control the display. The display may include a conductive sheet (e.g., a copper (Cu) sheet) disposed on a rear surface of the display to prevent noise generated from the display panel from being introduced into an internal circuit of the electronic device. In general, the display driver IC has a relatively high operation clock, and therefore noise may be generated from the display driver IC and a display power supply.

As the strength of coupling between the display and the side bezel structure is increased, the noise generated from the display driver IC may be introduced into the side bezel structure through the conductive sheet. In this case, due to the introduction of the noise, the receiving sensitivity of an antenna using the side bezel structure may be reduced.

In various embodiments of the disclosure, an electronic device having a structure for preventing a reduction in the receiving sensitivity of an antenna may be provided.

SUMMARY

A portable communication device according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes a display module including a display layer that faces toward a front surface of the portable communication device and a conductive layer formed under the display layer, a conductive supporting member disposed under the conductive layer, an antenna module disposed close to a side of the conductive supporting member, a printed circuit board that is disposed under the conductive layer and that has a display driver IC disposed thereon to control the display module, and a conductive adhesive layer disposed between the conductive layer and the conductive supporting member.

An electronic device according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes a display module including a display panel having an upper surface disposed to face toward a front surface of the electronic device, a conductive layer disposed on a lower surface of the display panel, and a printed circuit board including a driver IC of the display panel, a conductive supporting member disposed under the conductive layer, a conductive radiator that is located on an upper or lower side of the electronic device so as to be adjacent to the conductive supporting member and that transmits and receives a wireless signal in a specified band, at least part of the conductive radiator being visible through a side surface of the electronic device, and a conductive adhesive layer that is located between the conductive layer and the conductive supporting member and that bonds at least part of the display module to the conductive supporting member.

According to the various embodiments of the disclosure, a reduction in the receiving sensitivity of the antenna may be prevented by using the conductive adhesive layer.

According to the various embodiments of the disclosure, through double-coupling of the conductive sheet of the display panel and the bracket, the electronic device may prevent an electric shock that is likely to occur due to electrical charges transferred from the display panel to the side member through the bracket.

In addition, the disclosure may provide various effects that are directly or indirectly recognized.
