Samsung patents wearable with separate spaces for screen and sensors
Samsung has filed a patent for a wearable device that uses an internal divider to split the device into two distinct areas. One area holds the display screen, while the other holds a sensor assembly, ensuring the two components do not overlap. The design features a front plate that is slightly angled to cover both the screen and the sensors.
In the filing’s own words
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a front plate being partially inclined, a rear plate facing in a direction opposite to the front plate, and a side member surrounding an inner space between the front plate and the rear plate, a molding member disposed between the front plate and the rear plate, the molding member dividing the inner space into a first inner space and a second inner space, a display disposed in the first inner space, and a sensor assembly non-overlapping with the display, the sensor assembly being disposed in the second inner space, wherein the front plate covers the display and the sensor assembly.
