Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a support member including at least a portion formed of a conductive material, an enclosure member configured to receive the support member and including at least a portion of which is formed of a conductive material. The conductive material portion of the enclosure member and the conductive material portion of the support member are insulated from each other.

Claims (43)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a display forming at least one portion of a front side of the apparatus;

a metal plate of a support member disposed below the display and including a first electrically conductive portion;

a printed circuit board disposed below the metal plate and electrically coupled with the metal plate; and

a metal frame of an enclosure member at least partially surrounding the metal plate of the support member and including a second electrically conductive portion,

wherein at least a portion of the second electrically conductive portion forms at least one portion of an outer surface of the apparatus and the second electrically conductive portion is electrically separated with the metal plate.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the printed circuit board comprises a ground portion electrically coupled with the metal plate.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the metal plate electrically shields a circuit on the printed circuit board.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the metal frame comprises a plurality of segments, and

wherein at least one segment of the plurality of segments forming at least one portion of an antenna of the apparatus.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising an insulation layer interposed between the metal plate and the metal frame.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a rear cover from which the metal frame is extended.

7. An apparatus comprising:

a display;

an electrically conductive layer disposed below the display;

a circuit board disposed below the conductive layer;

a frame at least partially surrounding the conductive layer and including an electrically conductive portion; and

a cover forming at least one portion of a rear surface of the apparatus,

wherein at least a portion of the conductive portion forms at least one portion of a side surface of the apparatus and the conductive portion is electrically separated with the conductive layer.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising:

an inner case between the circuit board and the cover,

wherein at least one portion of the inner case composed of a non-conductive material.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the frame is extended from the inner case.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising an insulation layer interposed between the conductive layer and the conductive portion of the frame.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the insulation layer comprises an insulating film or coating.

12. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the frame comprises a plurality of segments including a conductive segment and a non-conductive segment.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the conductive segment is electrically coupled with the circuit board to form at least part of an electrical component of the apparatus.

14. An apparatus comprising:

a display;

a bracket including a first electrically conductive portion and disposed below the display;

a circuit board disposed below the bracket; and

an enclosure member at least partially accommodating the bracket and including a second electrically conductive portion,

wherein at least a portion of the second electrically conductive portion forms at least one portion of an outer surface of the apparatus and the second electrically conductive portion is electrically separated with the first electrically conductive portion.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the second electrically conductive portion of the enclosure member further forms at least one portion of a rear surface of the apparatus.

16. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the second electrically conductive portion of the enclosure member forms at least one portion of a side surface of the apparatus.

17. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the second electrically conductive portion of the enclosure member comprises a reinforcement member protruding from an inner surface of the enclosure member towards inside of the apparatus.

18. The apparatus of claim 14 ,

wherein the enclosure member comprises a first segment and a second segment,

wherein the bracket comprises a non-conductive portion protruding towards an outside of the apparatus, and

wherein at least one portion of the non-conductive portion disposed between the first segment and the second segment such that the first segment, the second segment, and the at least one portion of the non-conductive portion form a same side surface of the apparatus.

19. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the second electrically conductive portion of the enclosure member is electrically coupled with the circuit board via an electrical component to block a direct current.

20. The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the electronic component comprises a capacitor.
