Abstract:
Disclosed in various embodiments of the present document are: a structure including a nonmetallic material and guiding, in one direction, light incident on one side; and an electronic device including the structure in an inner space thereof. According to the various embodiments, provided is an electronic device comprising: a housing having an inner space, and including an outer surface facing a first direction, an inner space facing the direction opposite to the first direction, and a display unit which is formed between the outer surface and the inner space and which has a thickness through which light passes through; a printed circuit board arranged in the inner space; at least one light-emitting element arranged in the inner space; and a nonmetallic structure arranged in the inner space, wherein the nonmetallic structure includes: a first part having a light guide between the light-emitting element and the display unit and including a transparent or translucent first material; a second part which is integrally formed with the first part, includes the first material, and is directly or indirectly fixed to the printed circuit board or the housing; and a third part encompassing at least a portion of the light guide and including a translucent second material. The nonmetallic light guide structure and the electronic device including same can be varied according to embodiments.
