ANTENNA STRUCTURE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18082266 titled 'ANTENNA STRUCTURE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with a conductive side housing that functions as an antenna. A protection member covers the side housing and the display module, with a first conductive member in the portion facing the display module and a second conductive member in the portion facing the side housing. The second conductive member is connected to the first conductive member and there is a separation space between the second conductive member and the side housing.
- The electronic device has a display module and a conductive side housing.
- A protection member covers the side housing and the display module.
- The protection member has a first portion facing the display module and a second portion facing the side housing.
- A first conductive member is in the first portion of the protection member.
- A second conductive member is in the second portion of the protection member and is connected to the first conductive member.
- There is a separation space between the second conductive member and the side housing.
- The side housing functions as an antenna and is electrically connected to an antenna.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile phones
- Tablets
- Laptops
- Smartwatches
Problems solved by this technology:
- Integration of an antenna into the side housing of an electronic device
- Protection of the display module and side housing
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved signal reception and transmission due to the use of the side housing as an antenna
- Enhanced durability and protection for the display module and side housing
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes a display module, and a side housing surrounding a side surface of the display module and formed of a conductive material. A protection member covers a part of the side housing and the display module. The protection member includes a first portion facing the display module and a second portion facing the side housing. A first conductive member is disposed in at least a part of the first portion of the protection member and is formed of a conductive material. A second conductive member is disposed in at least a part of the second portion of the protection member, is connected to the first conductive member, and is formed of a conductive material. A separation space is disposed between the second conductive member and the side housing, and an antenna is electrically connected to the side housing such that the side housing functions as an antenna.
