Abstract

According to certain embodiments, an electronic device comprises a housing including a first plate, a second plate spaced apart from the first plate and facing away from the first plate, and a side member at least partially surrounding a space between the first plate and the second plate; a touchscreen display including a first portion exposed through or mounted on at least part of the first plate, and a second portion extending from the first portion and bendable into the space such that the second portion is positioned or positionable between the first portion and the second plate; a conductive coil disposed in a space between the first portion and the second plate or in a space between the first portion and the second portion in parallel to the second plate; a wireless charging circuit electrically connected to the conductive coil; a first shielding layer interposed between the conductive coil and at least part of the first portion of the touchscreen display; and a second shielding layer interposed between the second plate and at least part of the second portion of the touchscreen display.

Claims (19)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a housing including a first plate, a second plate spaced apart from the first plate and facing away from the first plate, and a side member at least partially surrounding a space between the first plate and the second plate;

a touchscreen display including a first portion exposed through or mounted on at least part of the first plate, and a second portion extending from the first portion and bendable into the space such that the second portion is positioned or positionable between the first portion and the second plate;

a conductive coil disposed in the space between the first portion and the second plate or in a space between the first portion and the second portion in parallel to the second plate;

a wireless charging circuit electrically connected to the conductive coil;

a first shielding layer interposed between the conductive coil and at least part of the first portion of the touchscreen display; and

a second shielding layer interposed between the second plate and at least part of the second portion of the touchscreen display.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second shielding layer extends from the first shielding layer.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second shielding layer is separated from the first shielding layer.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first shielding layer and the second shielding layer are made of at least one of graphite filler, alumina, ceramic, and carbon nanotubes depending on a characteristic of the conductive coil.

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

a first structure including the first plate; and

a second structure including the second plate and disposed to surround at least part of the first structure,

wherein the first structure is disposed to be movable to an open state or a closed state with respect to the second structure in a direction parallel to the second plate.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the closed state is a state in which the first structure is located at a first distance from the side member, and the open state is a state in which the first structure is located at a second distance from the side member, and

wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive coil disposed between the first portion and the second plate is disposed to extend to at least a region of the space between the second portion and the second plate.

8. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the second structure includes a rear plate that covers at least part of the second portion.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first shielding layer has a length greater than a length of the conductive coil.
