Samsung patents internal metal parts to boost antenna performance
Samsung describes a design for electronic devices that uses a specific arrangement of metal brackets, gaskets, and plates around the display. This setup creates a conductive path that helps the device's antenna work more effectively by managing electrical interference.
In the filing’s own words
An electronic device according to one embodiment may comprise: a conductive bracket including a recess portion; and a display disposed on the conductive bracket and including a conductive layer. The electronic device may comprise: a conductive gasket including a first surface in contact with the conductive layer and a second surface opposite the first surface; and a non-conductive layer attached on the recess portion. The electronic device may include a conductive plate including a first portion in contact with the second surface and the non-conductive layer, and a second portion in contact with the recess portion and including a plurality of connection portions. The conductive plate may be electrically connected to the conductive bracket through the second portion including the plurality of connection portions.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An electronic device comprising: a conductive bracket, including a recess portion; a display, disposed over the conductive bracket, including a conductive layer; a conductive gasket including a first surface in contact with the conductive layer of the display and a second surface opposite to the first surface, at least a portion of the conductive gasket being disposed in the recess portion; a non-conductive layer attached on the recess portion; and a conductive plate including: a first part, in contact with the second surface of the conductive gasket and the non-conductive layer, and a second part, including a plurality of connecting portions that are in contact with the recess portion, wherein the conductive plate is electrically connected, through the second part including the plurality of connecting portions, to the conductive bracket.
