Electronic device including lens-integrated window member
An example electronic device includes a window including a first surface and a second surface that faces the direction opposite to that of the first surface; a lens housing disposed in the internal space of the electronic device; and an optical lens module including a lens assembly aligned toward the second surface of the window in the lens housing, wherein the window includes: a window lens area formed on the first surface or the second surface; and an alignment guide formed on the perimeter of the window lens area for aligning the window lens area and the lens assembly.
1 . An electronic device, comprising:
a window including a first surface forming a front surface of the electronic device and a second surface facing in a direction opposite to the first surface;
a display panel viewable through at least a portion of the window; and
an optical lens module including a lens housing disposed in an internal space of the electronic device and a lens assembly,
wherein the window includes a window lens area formed on the first surface or the second surface and an alignment guide formed around the window lens area for aligning an optical axis of the window lens area and an optical axis of the lens assembly, and
wherein the window lens area and the alignment guide are integrally formed with the window to be of a same material.
2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the window lens area includes a concave lens area concave from the first surface or the second surface or a convex lens area convex from the first surface or the second surface.
3 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the alignment guide, together with the lens housing, forms a fastening structure.
4 . The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the alignment guide has a shape protruding from the second surface of the window.
5 . The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the alignment guide has a shape engaged with a stepped portion of the lens housing.
6 . The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the alignment guide has a shape concavely extending to an inside from the second surface of the window, and
wherein at least a portion of a protrusion of the lens housing is fitted into the alignment guide.
7 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the window lens area includes a first lens area and a second lens area formed around the first lens area to not overlap the first lens area.
8 . The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the first lens area and the second lens area are formed on the first surface or the second surface of the window.
9 . The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the first lens area is formed on the first surface or the second surface of the window, and the second lens area is formed on a surface of the window, where the first lens area is not formed.
10 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the window has an anti-reflection coating layer formed on at least one of the first surface or the second surface.
11 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the window lens area is formed in the first surface of the window, and wherein an accessory assembly guide for an accessory assembly is formed around the window lens area.
12 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the window lens area and the alignment guide are simultaneously formed by an ultra-high-temperature thermoforming process when forming the window.
13 . An electronic device, comprising:
a window including a first surface forming a front surface of the electronic device and a second surface facing in a direction opposite to the first surface;
a display panel viewable through at least a portion of the window; and
an optical lens module including a lens housing disposed in an internal space of the electronic device and a lens assembly,
wherein the window includes a window lens area formed on the first surface or the second surface and an alignment guide formed around the window lens area for aligning an optical axis of the window lens area and an optical axis the lens assembly,
wherein the display panel includes an opening therethrough which overlaps the optical axes of the window lens area and the lens assembly, and
wherein the window lens area and the alignment guide are formed of a same material as the window.
