Portable communication device housing with curved corners
According to an embodiment, an electronic device may include a foldable housing including a hinge module; a first housing connected to the hinge module and including a first surface, a second surface, and a first side member; and a second housing. The first side member includes a first side surface, and a second side surface. The second side surface including a first ending portion of the second side surface adjacent to the first side surface forms at least part of a first curved corner having a first radius, and that a second ending portion of the second side surface adjacent to the hinge module forms at least part of a second curved corner having a second radius smaller than the first radius. Periphery portions of the second side surface are substantially non-orthogonally angled with respect to a periphery portion of the second surface.
1. A portable communication device comprising:
a hinge module;
a first housing connected to the hinge module, the first housing including a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a first side member forming a peripheral surface of the first housing; and
a second housing connected to the hinge module, the second housing including a third surface, a fourth surface opposite to the third surface, and a second side member forming a peripheral surface of the second housing;
wherein the first surface and the third surface face substantially a same direction when the portable communication device is unfolded, and face substantially one another when the portable communication device is folded; and
wherein the first side member includes:
a first side surface spaced apart from and substantially parallel with the hinge module;
a second side surface extended from the first side surface toward the hinge module such that a first ending portion of the second side surface adjacent to the first side surface forms at least part of a first curved corner having a first radius, and that a second ending portion of the second side surface adjacent to the hinge module forms at least part of a second curved corner having a second radius smaller than the first radius;
wherein a first periphery portion of the second side surface, including the at least part of the first curved corner and the at least part of the second curved corner, is adjacent to and angled with respect to a periphery portion of the first surface;
wherein a second periphery portion of the second side surface, including the at least part of the first curved corner and the at least part of the second curved corner, opposite to the first periphery portion is adjacent to and angled with respect to a periphery portion of the second surface;
wherein a wall portion of the second side surface between the first periphery portion and the second periphery portion is angled with respect to each of the first periphery portion and the second periphery portion;
wherein a height of the second side surface, including the first periphery portion, the second periphery portion and the wall portion, is substantially same throughout a substantially entire length of the second side surface including the at least part of the first curved corner and the at least part of the second curved corner, and
wherein the periphery portion of the first surface and the periphery portion of the second surface are formed in a first color, and
the first periphery portion of the second side surface, the second periphery portion of the second side surface, and the wall portion of the second side surface are formed in a second color different from the first color.
2. The portable communication device of claim 1 , wherein the periphery portion of the first surface adjacent to the first periphery portion of the second side surface is inclined with respect to a planar portion of the first surface, or curved.
3. The portable communication device of claim 2 , wherein the periphery portion of the second surface adjacent to the second periphery portion of the second side surface is inclined with respect to a planar portion of the second surface, or curved.
4. The portable communication device of claim 1 , wherein the first color is deeper or darker than the second color.
5. The portable communication device of claim 1 , wherein a slope of the wall portion is different from a slope of the first periphery portion or the second periphery portion.
6. The portable communication device of claim 3 , wherein a curvature of the wall portion is different from a curvature of the first periphery portion or the second periphery portion.
7. The portable communication device of claim 3 , wherein a shape of the wall portion is different from a shape of the first periphery portion or the second periphery portion.
8. The portable communication device of claim 1 , wherein the first side member includes a third side surface extended from the first side surface toward the hinge module as substantially parallel with the second side surface such that a first ending portion of the third side surface adjacent to the first side surface forms at least part of a third curved corner having a third radius substantially same as the first radius, and that a second ending portion of the third side surface adjacent to the hinge module forms at least part of a fourth curved corner having a fourth radius substantially same as the second radius.
9. The portable communication device of claim 1 , wherein the second side member includes:
a third side surface spaced apart from and substantially parallel with the hinge module; and
a fourth side surface extended from the third side surface toward the hinge module such that a third ending portion of the fourth side surface adjacent to the third side surface forms at least part of a third curved corner having a third radius, and that a fourth ending portion of the fourth side surface adjacent to the hinge module forms at least part of a fourth curved corner having a fourth radius smaller than the third radius.
10. The portable communication device of claim 1 , wherein the first periphery portion, the second periphery portion, and the wall portion are planar.
