17 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a waterproof structure in an electronic device according to still another one of various embodiments of the present disclosure. In FIG. 17, the positions of the third sealing member 6305c and the fourth sealing member 6305d are schematically shown. The third sealing member 6305c of FIG. 17 may be the same as or similar to the third sealing member 3305c of FIG. 5 . At least one of the components of the electronic device of FIG. 17 may be the same as or similar to at least one of the components of the electronic device 300 of FIGS. 4 or 5 , and overlapping descriptions will be omitted below.

Referring to FIG. 17 , the substrate cover 3306 in the substrate assembly 3302 may be omitted. As the substrate cover 3306 is omitted, the thickness in the front-back direction of the substrate assembly 3302 may be further reduced than when the substrate cover 3306 is provided.

The first sealing member 6305a may be disposed between the second printed circuit board 3304 and the cover window 320 to couple the second printed circuit board 3304 to the cover window 320 . The first sealing member 6305a may be disposed at one end of the bending part 3304b of the second printed circuit board 3304 connected to the display panel 3301 . The first sealing member 6305a may extend along the first edge 330A.

The second sealing member 6305b may be disposed on the first printed circuit board 3303 or the protection plate 3307 . When viewed from the front of the electronic device, it may overlap the first printed circuit board 3303 without overlapping the flat portion 3304a of the second printed circuit board 3304 . In other words, the second sealing member 6305b is directly attached to the rear surface of the first printed circuit board 3303, or between the second sealing member 6305b and the first printed circuit board 3303 in the front-rear direction, a protective plate ( 3307) can be placed. Therefore, the thickness in the front-back direction of the substrate assembly 3302 is greater than when the flat portion 3304a of the second printed circuit board 3304 is disposed between the second sealing member 6305b and the first printed circuit board 3303 . can be reduced

In the above, specific embodiments have been shown and described. However, it is not limited to the above embodiments, and those of ordinary skill in the art to which the invention pertains can make various changes without departing from the spirit of the invention described in the claims below. .
