ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING CONDUCTIVE CONNECTION MEMBER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17894543 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING CONDUCTIVE CONNECTION MEMBER
Simplified Explanation
An electronic device is described in this patent application. The device includes a display, a frame structure that acts as an antenna, a second conductive member connected to the frame structure, and a nonconductive member that supports the display.
- The frame structure of the electronic device serves as both the external appearance and the antenna element.
- The second conductive member is connected to the frame structure.
- A nonconductive member supports the display along with the second conductive member.
- A bonding layer is present between the first conductive member and the nonconductive member, as well as between the second conductive member and the nonconductive member.
- A conductive connection member is placed at the coupling point of the first and second conductive members, making contact with both.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Smartphones and tablets
- Wearable devices
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Connected home appliances
Problems solved by this technology:
- Simplifies the design and construction of electronic devices by integrating the antenna into the frame structure.
- Reduces the number of separate components needed for the device.
- Provides a more compact and streamlined design.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved signal reception and transmission due to the integrated antenna.
- Enhanced durability and structural integrity of the device.
- Cost-effective manufacturing process with fewer components.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, a frame structure including a first conductive member defining an external appearance of the electronic device and operated as an antenna element of the electronic device, a second conductive member coupled and electrically connected to the first conductive member, and a nonconductive member that supports the display together with the second conductive member, a bonding layer including a first layer at least partially disposed between the first conductive member and the nonconductive member, and a second layer at least partially disposed between the second conductive member and the nonconductive member, and at least one conductive connection member disposed at a portion, at which the first conductive member and the second conductive member are coupled to each other, and contacting the first conductive member and the second conductive member.
