    Abstract: An electronic device includes first and second housings rotatably coupled with each other through a hinge, thereby being in a folded state or an unfolded state. The electronic device further includes first and second printed circuit boards (PCBs) disposed in the first and second housings, respectively, and at least one wiring member electrically connecting the first and second PCBs. The electronic device further includes a window disposed over the first and second housings and the hinge, and a display disposed under the window. The display includes a display panel extending in the first housing and having a first FPCB electrically connected to a ground of the first PCB. The display includes a polymer member, a first conductive member disposed in the first housing and electrically connected to the first FPCB, and a second conductive member disposed in the second housing. The electronic device further includes a supporting member disposed between the second conductive member and the second PCB in the second housing. The second conductive member is electrically connected to the second PCB through a conductive region of the supporting member and electrically connected to the ground of the first PCB through the wiring member.
