Abstract

An electronic device is provided, which includes a display member including at least one piece of glass, a housing surrounding at least a portion of the display member to form a space inside the electronic device, a mounting member coupled to at least one side of the housing, a light output device disposed inside the mounting member to output light to the display member, a light refracting member refracting light emitted from the light output device, and a heat radiating member including at least a first portion disposed adjacent to the light output device and at least second portion extending to the housing to surround at least a portion of the at least one piece of glass, wherein at least a part of the heat radiating member contacts the space.

Claims (44)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a display member including at least one piece of glass;

a housing surrounding at least a portion of the display member to form a space inside the electronic device;

a mounting member coupled to at least one side of the housing;

a light output device disposed inside the mounting member to output light to the display member;

a light refracting member refracting light emitted from the light output device; and

a heat radiating member including at least a first portion disposed adjacent to the light output device and at least a second portion extending to the housing to surround at least a portion of the at least one piece of glass, wherein at least a part of the heat radiating member contacts the space,

wherein the housing includes at least one step portion and a seating surface where at least one of the first portion or the second portion of the heat radiating member is seated in an inner peripheral surface, and

wherein, as viewed from a cross section of the housing, and exposed surface of the heat radiating member on the space is formed in a position that is higher than a side end surface of the at least one piece of glass.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one piece of glass included in the display member includes a first piece of glass including a first surface and a second surface facing away from the first surface and a second piece of glass including a third surface and a fourth surface facing away from the third surface and spaced a predetermined distance apart from the first surface of the first piece of glass to face the first surface.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the first piece of glass is a waveguide glass.

4. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the display member further includes a third piece of glass spaced a predetermined distance apart from the second surface of the first piece of glass.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the heat radiating member further includes a thermal conductive line extending along a circumference of at least the portion of the display member.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the heat radiating member further includes a thermal conductive line extending to surround the display member.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a groove in an outer peripheral surface and the heat radiating member is disposed in the groove.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the heat radiating member further includes:

a heat radiating plate disposed adjacent to at least one surface of the light output device,

a bend connected to the heat radiating plate and having a bent portion, and

a thermal conductive line connected with the bend and extending along a circumference of at least the portion of the display member.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the heat radiating member further includes a first heat radiating plate disposed adjacent to at least a first surface of the light output device and a second heat radiating plate disposed adjacent to at least a second surface of the light output device.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a first housing and a second housing connected with the first housing via a connecting member.

11. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the display member further includes a first display member having at least a portion covered by the first housing and a second display member having at least a portion covered by the second housing.

12. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the heat radiating member is formed to pass through the first housing, the connecting member, and the second housing.

13. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the heat radiating member further includes a pair of heat radiating members respectively connected to the first housing and the second housing.

14. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a masking member,

wherein at least a portion of the masking member disposed along a circumference of the display member includes a thermal conductive material.

15. An electronic device, comprising:

a display member;

a housing surrounding at least a portion of the display member;

a mounting member coupled to at least one side of the housing;

a light output device disposed inside at least one side of the mounting member to output light to the display member;

a light refracting member refracting light emitted from the light output device to the display member; and

a heat radiating member including at least a first portion disposed adjacent to the light output device and at least a second portion extending to the housing to surround a lower end of the display member,

wherein the housing includes at least one step portion and a seating surface where at least one of the first portion or the second portion of the heat radiating member is seated in an inner peripheral surface, and

wherein, as viewed from a cross section of the housing, a surface of the heat radiating member, that is exposed to a space surrounded by the housing and the display member, is formed in a position that is higher than a side end surface of a piece of glass that is seated on the seating surface.

16. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the display member includes:

a first piece of glass including a first surface and a second surface facing away from the first surface; and

a second piece of glass including a third surface and a fourth surface facing away from the third surface and spaced a predetermined distance apart from the first surface of the first piece of glass to face the first surface.

17. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the heat radiating member further includes a thermal conductive line extending along a circumference of at least the portion of the display member.

18. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the heat radiating member further includes:

a first heat radiating plate disposed adjacent to at least a first surface of the light output device,

a second heat radiating plate disposed adjacent to at least a second surface of the light output device,

a bend connected to the first heat radiating plate and the second heat radiating plate and having a bent portion, and

a thermal conductive line connected with the bend and extending along a circumference of at least the portion of the display member.
