Electronic device including foldable conductive plate

Abstract

According to various embodiments, an electronic device may include a housing including an opening connected to an internal space; a tray socket disposed to be connected to the outside through the opening in the internal space and including a tray reception space; a tray inserted into the tray reception space, wherein the tray includes a tray body including at least one space configured to receive at least one external component; and a tray cover including a pin insertion hole configured to guide a tray ejecting pin to the opening; an eject bar movably disposed in a tray mounting direction or ejecting direction in the tray reception space and facing the pin insertion hole; and a rotation lever configured to press the tray in the ejection direction according to pressing of the eject bar in the tray reception space, wherein the eject bar is disposed at a position at least partially overlapped with the tray body when viewed from above the tray socket.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A portable communication device comprising:
 a housing including a first housing portion and a second housing portion;   a flexible display accommodated in the first housing portion and the second housing portion, the flexible display including:
 a first display portion configured to be bent when the housing is folded; 
 a second display portion extended from the first display portion in a first direction and configured to remain substantially planar when the housing is folded; and 
 a third display portion extended from the first display portion in a second direction and configured to remain substantially planar when the housing is folded; 
 a plate located under the flexible display, the plate including:
 a first patterned portion located under the first display portion and configured to be bent along with the first display portion when the housing is folded; 
 a second patterned portion extended from the first patterned portion in the first direction and located under a first part of the second display portion adjacent to the first display portion; 
 a third patterned portion extended from the first patterned portion in the second direction and located under a first part of the third display portion adjacent to the first display portion; 
 a first non-patterned portion extended from the second patterned portion in the first direction and located under a second part of the second display portion adjacent to the first part of the second display portion; and 
 a second non-patterned portion extended from the third patterned portion in the second direction and located under a second part of the third display portion adjacent to the first part of the third display portion; 
 
 a first support member located under a first ending portion of the first patterned portion, the second patterned portion, and the first non-patterned portion; and 
 a second support member located under a second ending portion of the first patterned portion, the third patterned portion, and the second non-patterned portion. 
   
     
     
         2 . The portable communication device of  claim 1 , wherein, when the housing is folded, a first ending portion of the first support member is spaced apart from at least part of the first ending portion of the first patterned portion, and a second ending portion of the second support member is spaced apart from at least part of the second ending portion of the first patterned portion. 
     
     
         3 . The portable communication device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a polymer layer including a first polymer portion located between the second patterned portion and the first support member, and a second polymer portion located between the third patterned portion and the second support member.   
     
     
         4 . The portable communication device of  claim 3 , wherein the polymer layer includes a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). 
     
     
         5 . The portable communication device of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 an adhesive layer including a first adhesive portion located between the second patterned portion and the first polymer portion, and a second adhesive portion located between the third patterned portion and the second polymer portion.   
     
     
         6 . The portable communication device of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 another adhesive layer including a third adhesive portion located between the first polymer portion and the first support member, and a fourth adhesive portion located between the second polymer portion and the second support member.   
     
     
         7 . The portable communication device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a cushion layer located between the flexible display and the plate.   
     
     
         8 . The portable communication device of  claim 1 , wherein the plate includes:
 a fourth patterned portion extended from the first non-patterned portion in the first direction; and   a fifth patterned portion extended from the second non-patterned portion in the second direction.   
     
     
         9 . The portable communication device of  claim 8 ,
 wherein the first, second, third, fourth and fifth patterned portion include a first pattern, a second pattern, a third pattern, a fourth pattern and a fifth pattern, respectively, and   wherein the fourth pattern of the fourth patterned portion is different from the second pattern of the second patterned portion, and the fifth pattern of the fifth patterned portion is different from the third pattern of the third patterned portion.   
     
     
         10 . The portable communication device of  claim 9 , wherein each of the second and third patterns is different from the first pattern. 
     
     
         11 . The portable communication device of  claim 1 , wherein the second patterned portion is configured to relieve a stress applied to a first boundary area between the first patterned portion and the second patterned portion, and the third patterned portion is configured to relieve a stress applied to a second boundary area between the first patterned portion and the third patterned portion. 
     
     
         12 . The portable communication device of  claim 1 , wherein each of the first, second and third patterned portions includes a plurality of openings including a first opening having a first size and a second opening having a second size larger than the first size. 
     
     
         13 . The portable communication device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the first support member is configured to support the plate such that the second patterned portion and the first non-patterned portion remain to be substantially planar along with the second display portion when the housing is folded, and   wherein the second support member configured to support the plate such that the third patterned portion and the second non-patterned portion remain to be substantially planar along with the third display portion when the housing is folded.
