Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a support member including at least a portion formed of a conductive material, an enclosure member configured to receive the support member and including at least a portion of which is formed of a conductive material. The conductive material portion of the enclosure member and the conductive material portion of the support member are insulated from each other.

Claims (77)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a support member including at least a portion formed of a conductive material;

an enclosure member configured to receive the support member; and

a circuit board received in the enclosure member,

wherein the enclosure member includes at least a portion formed of a conductive material,

wherein the conductive material portion of the enclosure member and the conductive material portion of the support member are insulated from each other, and

wherein the conductive material portion of the support member is connected to the circuit board to provide grounding of the circuit board.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the conductive material portion of the enclosure member is at least partially adjacent to the support member, and

wherein a portion of the support member, which is adjacent to the conductive material portion of the enclosure member, is formed of a non-conductive material.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a connection member connected to a grounding portion of the circuit board; and

a capacitive element provided in a grounding line between the connection member and the grounding portion,

wherein the connection member contacts the conductive material portion of the enclosure member.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a display device disposed on a surface of the support member; and

a circuit device disposed on the other surface of the support member.

5. An electronic device, comprising:

a support member including at least a portion formed of a conductive material; and

an enclosure member configured to receive the support member,

wherein the enclosure member includes at least a portion formed of a conductive material,

wherein the conductive material portion of the enclosure member and the conductive material portion of the support member are insulated from each other, and

wherein the enclosure member comprises:

a molding enclosure formed of a non-conductive material, wherein the molding enclosure is configured to receive the support member; and

a frame enclosure formed of a conductive material, wherein the frame enclosure is configured to enclose at least a portion of an outer surface of the molding enclosure.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 ,

wherein the frame enclosure is integral with the molding enclosure and formed by the process of insert molding, and

wherein the molding enclosure is interposed between the conductive material portion of the support member and the frame enclosure for insulation.

7. The electronic device of claim 5 , further comprising:

a segment portion formed in the frame enclosure; and

a protruding portion formed in the molding enclosure and disposed in the segment portion.

8. The electronic device of claim 5 ,

wherein the frame enclosure is provided to enclose at least a side surface of the molding enclosure, and

wherein the frame enclosure is spaced apart from the support member.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein at least a portion of the molding enclosure is interposed between the frame enclosure and the support member.

10. An electronic device, comprising:

a support member including at least a portion formed of a conductive material; and

an enclosure member configured to receive the support member,

wherein the enclosure member includes at least a portion formed of a conductive material,

wherein the conductive material portion of the enclosure member and the conductive material portion of the support member are insulated from each other,

wherein the conductive material portion of the enclosure member is at least partially adjacent to the support member,

wherein a portion of the support member, which is adjacent to the conductive material portion of the enclosure member, is formed of a non-conductive material,

wherein the enclosure member comprises four corners, and

wherein a portion of the conductive material portion of the enclosure member is adjacent to a portion of the support member in at least one of the four corners.

11. An electronic device, comprising:

a support member including at least a portion formed of a conductive material; and

an enclosure member configured to receive the support member,

wherein the enclosure member includes at least a portion formed of a conductive material,

wherein the conductive material portion of the enclosure member and the conductive material portion of the support member are insulated from each other,

wherein the enclosure member comprises:

a molding enclosure coupled to face the support member; and

a frame member formed of a conductive material configured to be coupled to the support member and to form a sidewall of the molding enclosure, and

wherein the frame member is slidably coupled to the support member.

12. The electronic device of claim 11 , further comprising:

a guide rib formed at both side ends of the support member; and

a guide groove extending longitudinally from an inner surface of the frame member,

wherein the guide groove slides in such a way to enclose the guide rib.

13. The electronic device of claim 12 , further comprising:

insulation films formed on an outer circumferential surface of the guide rib and an inner wall of the guide groove, respectively,

wherein at least the outer circumferential surface of the guide rib and the inner wall of the guide groove formed with the insulation films contact each other, and

wherein the insulation films insulate the support member from the frame member.

14. The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the insulation films comprise a layer formed by painting, coating, or anodizing.

15. The electronic device of claim 12 , further comprising:

a binding protrusion formed in the support member; and

a binding groove formed in the frame member,

wherein the binding protrusion is engaged to the binding groove to fix the frame member when the frame member is coupled to the support member.

16. The electronic device of claim 11 , further comprising:

a binding protrusion formed in the support member; and

a binding groove formed in the frame member,

wherein the binding protrusion is engaged to the binding groove to fix the frame member when the frame member is coupled to the support member.

17. The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the binding protrusion contacts the frame member when the frame member is slidably coupled to the support member.

18. A method for manufacturing an electronic device, the method comprising:

manufacturing an enclosure member, wherein at least a portion of the enclosure member is formed of a conductive material;

manufacturing a support member, wherein at least a portion of the support member is formed of a conductive material;

receiving the support member in the enclosure member such that the conductive material portion of the enclosure member and the conductive material portion of the support member are insulated from each other; and

receiving a circuit board in the enclosure member,

wherein the conductive material portion of the support member is connected to the circuit board to providing grounding of the circuit board.
