Abstract

A device includes a display unit, a cover glass to at least partially overlap the display unit, and a housing unit including a stopper portion, the stopper portion extending to overlap a portion of the display unit, and the stopper portion being adjacent to the cover glass.

Claims

1. A device, comprising:

a display unit;

a cover glass to at least partially overlap the display unit; and

a housing unit comprising a stopper portion, the stopper portion extending to overlap a portion of the display unit, and the stopper portion being adjacent to the cover glass.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the display unit is adhered to the cover glass.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the housing unit comprises a plurality of housing portions.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein the housing unit is an integrated unit.

5. The device of claim 1, further comprising:

a touch sensing unit disposed between the cover glass and the display unit.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the stopper portion has a curved portion extending from a side portion of the housing unit towards a surface of the display unit.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the cover glass overlaps a first portion of the display unit and the stopper portion overlaps a second portion of the display unit.

8. The device of claim 1, further comprising:

a foreign material blocking part to impede inflow of foreign material into the device.

9. The device of claim 8, wherein the foreign material blocking part is disposed between the stopper portion and the display unit.

10. The device of claim 8, wherein the foreign material blocking part is disposed between the housing unit and the display unit.

11. The device of claim 8, wherein the foreign material blocking part has a height equal to or greater than a gap between an interior surface of the housing unit and an edge of the display unit.

12. The device of claim 8, wherein the foreign material blocking part fills a gap between the cover glass and the housing unit.

13. The device of claim 8, further comprising:

a support frame,

wherein a first end of the support frame is attached to the foreign material blocking part and a second end of the support frame is attached to an interior surface of the housing unit.

14. The device of claim 1, further comprising:

a support structure attached to the housing unit;

a guide member disposed between the housing unit and the support unit; and

a shock buffering unit disposed between the display unit and a support structure.

15. A device, comprising:

a display unit;

a cover glass to overlap a first portion of the display unit, the first portion being less than an entire portion of the display unit; and

a housing unit comprising a stopper portion, the stopper portion to overlap a second portion of the display unit.

16. The device of claim 15, wherein the stopper portion has a portion extending from a side portion of the housing unit towards a surface of the display unit.

17. The device of claim 15, further comprising:

a foreign material blocking part disposed between the stopper portion and the display unit.

18. The device of claim 17, further comprising:

a support frame,

wherein a first end of the support frame is attached to the foreign material blocking part and a second end of the support frame is attached to an interior surface of the housing unit.

19. The device of claim 15, further comprising:

a support structure attached to the housing unit;

a guide member disposed between the housing unit and the support unit; and

a shock buffering unit disposed between the display unit and a support structure.

20. A method for manufacturing a device, comprising:

preparing a display unit; and

mounting the display unit and a cover glass to a housing unit comprising a stopper portion,

wherein the cover glass at least partially overlaps the display unit, and the stopper portion extends to overlap a portion of the display unit.
