Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/153694
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is an electronic device comprising: a conductive housing comprising a first surface facing in a first direction, a second surface facing in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a side surface surrounding at least a part of a space formed between the first surface and the second surface; a printed circuit board seated inside the housing; and a side key fastened in an edge area of the housing. The side key comprises a side key circuit board comprising: a button unit having a surface covering a first through-hole formed through the side surface of the housing and having another surface exposed outwards; an operation unit extending from the surface of the button unit covering the first through-hole towards the inside of the housing such that at least a part of the extension is inserted into the first through-hole, and the inserted part moves in a third direction parallel with a direction perpendicular to the side surface of the housing according to whether or not the button unit is pressurized; an outer contact-point unit pressurized by a movement of the operation unit; an inner contact-point unit configured to contact the outer contact-point unit according to whether or not the outer contact-point unit is pressurized; and a switch module for producing an electric signal by means of contact between the outer contact-point unit and the inner contact-point unit. In addition, the side key comprises: a side key bracket for fixing and supporting the side key circuit board, at least a part of the side key circuit board being seated on the side key bracket; and an antenna using the first through-hole as an antenna opening for transmitting/receiving radio waves. Various other embodiments conceivable through the present document are possible.
