Abstract

A wearable electronic device is disclosed, including: a housing including a first surface facing a same direction as a gaze of a user, a second surface facing in a second direction towards a face of the user, and a side surface surrounding a space defined between the two surfaces, a first and second light output device disposed in the housing and configured to output an image, a printed circuit board at least partially disposed between the first and second light output device, and including at least one electronic component, a supportive frame, a battery disposed between the frame and the second surface, and a first heat radiating member disposed between the frame and the battery.

Claims (36)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a housing including a first surface facing a first direction corresponding to a gaze of a user when wearing the electronic device, a second surface configured to be worn facing a forehead of the user and opposite the first surface, and a side surface surrounding a space defined between the first surface and the second surface;

a first light output device and a second light output device disposed in the housing and configured to output an image;

a printed circuit board at least partially disposed between the first light output device and the second light output device, and including at least one electronic component;

a frame supporting at least one of the first light output device, the second light output device, and the printed circuit board;

a battery disposed between the frame and the second surface in the space defined by the first surface and the second surface;

a first heat radiating member disposed between the frame and the battery,

a second heat radiating member configured to transfer at least a portion of heat generated from the at least one electronic component to the first heat radiating member, and

a second heat radiating pin contacting the second heat radiating member, configured to transfer heat from the second heat radiating member towards the second surface,

wherein the first heat radiating member includes a plurality of first heat radiating pins, arranged in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction, and

wherein the battery is closer to the second surface than the first heat radiating member.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the battery is spaced away from the frame towards the second surface.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the battery is disposed at an incline with respect to the frame.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein an external air inlet hole is formed in the side surface of the housing to radiate heat.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the external air inlet hole is formed at a position corresponding to the first heat radiating member.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first heat radiating member includes a channel having one of a triangular or quadrangular cross section, and formed with a through hole, through which external air flows, and

wherein the channel is oriented in the third direction perpendicular to the first direction.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein at least one surface of the channel is oriented facing the battery that is inclined with respect to the frame.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first heat radiating member includes a pair of heat radiating members, and

wherein the pair of heat radiating members are symmetrically disposed on a left and right side of a virtual line connecting a center of the housing.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , further comprising a connection member operably connecting the pair of heat radiating members to each other.

10. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the pair of heat radiating members are disposed on a rear surface of the frame at a location where the first light output device and the second light output device are mounted.

11. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second heat radiating member is disposed adjacent to the frame in the third direction perpendicular to the first direction.

12. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second heat radiating member is connected with the first heat radiating member through the second heat radiating pin.

13. An electronic device, comprising:

a housing including a first surface facing a first direction corresponding to a gaze of a user when wearing the electronic device, a second surface configured to be worn facing a forehead of the user and opposite the first surface, and a side surface surrounding a space between the first surface and the second surface;

a first light output device and a second light output device disposed in the housing and configured to output an image;

a printed circuit board at least partially disposed between the first light output device and the second light output device, and including at least one electronic component;

a frame supporting at least one of the first light output device, the second light output device, and the printed circuit board;

a pair of batteries disposed to be inclined with respect to the frame between the frame and the second surface in the space defined by the first surface and the second surface;

a pair of first heat radiating members disposed between the frame and the batteries, a second heat radiating member disposed adjacent to the frame in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction, and

a second heat radiating pin disposed in contact with the second heat radiating member and configured to transfer heat from the second heat radiating member towards the second surface,

wherein the pair of first heat radiating members include a pair of first heat radiating pins formed with a plurality of pins in the third direction perpendicular to the first direction, and

wherein the pair of batteries is closer to the second surface than the pair of first heat radiating members.

14. The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the pair of first heat radiating member include a pair of channels having a triangular or quadrangular cross section and formed with a through hole, through which external air may flow, in the third direction perpendicular to the first direction.

15. The electronic device of claim 13 , further including a connection member connecting the pair of first heat radiating members to each other.
