a display device that is embedded in the space and includes a screen region that is exposed through the front cover;

a metal structure that is positioned within the space, and includes a first face facing the front cover and a second face facing the rear cover, wherein at least a portion of the metal structure is formed integrally with the bezel;

a non-metal structure that is positioned within the space to partially overlap with the metal structure, and includes a first surface facing the front cover and a second surface facing the rear cover;

a metal filler extending from the first surface to the second surface of the non-metal structure through a portion of the non-metal structure, wherein the metal filler includes a first end portion adjacent to the first surface and a second end portion adjacent to the second surface;

a plurality of protrusions disposed along an outer peripheral surface of the metal filler and molded as non-metal members;

a first electronic component disposed on the first surface within the space and electrically connected to the first end portion;

a second electronic component disposed on the second surface within the space and electrically connected to the second end portion;

an antenna pattern arranged adjacent to the second surface and being electrically connected to the metal filler;

a flexible conductive structure that forms an electrical connection with the first end portion; and

a printed circuit board (PCB) disposed within the space and being arranged to be electrically in contact with the flexible conductive structure,

wherein the plurality of protrusions are non-threaded and are inserted into corresponding recesses of the printed circuit board.

2. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the front cover is formed of glass.

3. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first

end portion is aligned to be coplanar with the first surface, and the second end portion protrudes from the second surface.

4. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first

end portion protrudes from the first surface, and the second end portion is aligned to be coplanar with the second surface.

5. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a communication circuit within the space,

wherein the communication circuit is electrically connected to the antenna pattern through the metal filler.

6. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the PCB is positioned between the front cover and the non-metal structure, the flexible conductive structure is positioned between the PCB and the first end portion of the metal filler, and an antenna pattern is positioned between the rear cover and the non-metal structure to be electrically in contact with the second end portion of the metal filler.

7. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the bezel

is formed of a metallic material that is equal to that of the metal structure, and is formed integrally with at least a portion of the metal structure.

8. The portable electronic device of claim 7 , wherein at least

a portion of the bezel forms a portion of the antenna of the electronic device.

9. A portable electronic device comprising:

a front cover that forms a front face of the electronic device;

a rear cover that forms a rear face of the electronic device;

a bezel that surrounds a space formed by the front cover and the rear cover, the bezel being disposed only along an outer periphery of the portable electronic device and being a separate element from the front cover and the rear cover;

a display device that is embedded in the space and includes a screen region that is exposed through the front cover;

a metal structure that is positioned within the space, and includes a first face facing the front cover and a second face facing the rear cover, wherein at least a portion of the metal structure is formed integrally with the bezel;

a non-metal structure that is positioned within the space to partially overlap with the metal structure, and includes a first surface facing the front cover and a second surface facing the rear cover;

a non-metal filler extending from the first face to the second face of the metal structure through a portion of the metal structure, wherein the non-metal filler includes a first end portion adjacent to the first face of the metal structure and a second end portion adjacent to the second face of the metal structure;

a plurality of protrusions disposed along an outer peripheral surface of the non-metal filler and molded as non-metal members;

a first electronic component disposed on the first surface within the space and electrically connected to the first end portion; and

a second electronic component disposed on the second surface within the space and electrically connected to the second end portion,

wherein the non-metal filler further includes a through-hole and a fastener inserted into the through-hole, and

wherein the plurality of protrusions are non-threaded and are inserted into corresponding recesses of the printed circuit board.

10. The portable electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the front cover is formed of glass.
