Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/008820

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

An embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device comprising: a housing including a transparent cover including a first region and a second region adjacent to the first region; a touch screen display disposed between the first region and a second surface of the housing and exposed through the first region; an opaque layer disposed between the second region of the transparent cover and the second surface and exposed through the second region; a fingerprint sensor disposed between the opaque layer and the second surface of the housing; and a pressure sensor, disposed between the fingerprint sensor and the second surface, for sensing a pressure applied to the opaque layer by an external object, wherein the pressure sensor includes: a first electrode extending substantially parallel to the opaque layer; a second electrode spaced apart from and extending substantially parallel to the first electrode in a second direction; and a dielectric layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. In addition to this embodiment, various possible embodiments can be understood through the specification.
