6. The electronic device of claim 5 ,
wherein the output space has a first outlet formed at an end thereof and connected to the first conduit, and
wherein the first outlet is formed as an opening along the first direction at one end of the output portion.
7. The electronic device of claim 6 , further comprising:
a shielding member,
wherein the shielding member is disposed on an upper surface of the support member so as to surround the inlet space.
8. The electronic device of claim 7 ,
wherein the shielding member comprises a passing area configured to allow the sound to pass therethrough, and
wherein the passing area is disposed at a position corresponding to the first outlet.
9. The electronic device of claim 6 , further comprising:
an auxiliary member disposed above the output portion,
wherein the auxiliary member is disposed on the side wall of the support member such that a side thereof overlaps above a first discharge conduit.
10. The electronic device of claim 9 ,
wherein the support member comprises a support portion formed inside the first outlet, and
wherein the support portion is configured to support a side of the auxiliary member.
11. The electronic device of claim 9 ,
wherein the auxiliary member comprises multiple openings, and
wherein the multiple openings are connected to the output space.
12. The electronic device of claim 7 ,
wherein the support member has a shielding member accommodation area formed on the upper surface thereof and formed to surround the inlet space, and
wherein the shielding member is disposed in the shielding member accommodation area.
13. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the support portion is formed as multiple protrusions.
14. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the first outlet is formed by injection-molding or by cutting.
15. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the sound module is disposed on a rear surface of the support member, which corresponds to the inlet space.
16. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the display module adheres to the support member through an adhesive member so as to shield sound of the second conduit.
17. An electronic device comprising:
a sound module;
a support member comprising an accommodation space formed on a rear surface thereof so as to accommodate the sound module;
a display module disposed on an upper surface of the support member; and
a duct structure configured to deliver sound generated in the sound module to outside of the electronic device,
wherein the duct structure comprises:
an inlet space formed to extend from the accommodation space to the upper surface of the support member along a first direction and configured to allow sound generated in the sound module to be introduced thereinto,
a first conduit branched from the inlet space in a second direction different from the first direction, and formed between the display module and a front case,
a second conduit branched from the inlet space along the second direction, and formed to extend through at least a part of the front case, and
an output space formed between the display module and a side wall of the support member, connected to the first conduit and the second conduit such that sound travelling through the first conduit and sound travelling through the second conduit are introduced to the output space,
wherein travel paths of sound travelling through the first conduit and sound travelling through the second conduit have a substantially identical length,
wherein at least a part of the first conduit is disposed between the display module and at least a part of the second conduit and is formed by the display module and the support member, and
