ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING HOUSING HAVING AT LEAST ONE THROUGH HOLE
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a housing including a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface defining an internal space of the housing;
a touch screen display interposed between the first surface and the second surface;
a sensor module disposed under the touch screen display and including a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit; and
a wireless communication circuit disposed in the internal space,wherein the third surface includes a plurality of through holes each including optical structures, the plurality of through holes formed at a specified angle relative to a plane of the first and second surfaces,wherein a portion of light emitted from the light emitting unit is guided to an exterior of the electronic device through a first optical structure of a first through hole, andwherein at least a portion of light introduced from the exterior of the electronic device is guided to the light receiving unit on a second optical structure of a second through hole.

18. An electronic device comprising:
-
a housing including a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface forming along an edge of the first surface, wherein the third surface includes a plurality of through holes arranged along the edge of the first surface; a touch screen display interposed between the first surface and the second surface; a wireless communication circuit disposed in an internal space of the housing; a first light guide having a convex surface disposed within a first through hole and exposed to an exterior of the electronic device; a second light guide disposed within a second through hole; an infrared light source disposed in the internal space such that emitted light passes through the first light guide to the exterior of the electronic device; and an infrared light detector disposed in the internal space to detect the emitted light when the emitted light passes through the second light guide after reflection by an external object. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
