1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing including:
a front plate oriented in a first direction, and
a rear plate oriented in a second direction opposite the first direction;
a display disposed such that at least a portion thereof is visible through the front plate;
a printed circuit board disposed between the display and the rear plate;
a support structure including:
a first face oriented in the first direction and supporting the display, and
a second face oriented in the second direction and supporting the printed circuit board;
a conductive member disposed between the support structure and the rear plate; and
a sealing structure disposed between the conductive member and the rear plate,
wherein:
the housing has an open-type speaker disposed at an upper end of the front plate, and
vibration transferred from the open-type speaker is blocked by the sealing structure so as not to be transferred to a portion of the rear plate facing the conductive member.
 
11. An electronic device comprising:
a housing including:
a front plate oriented in a first direction,
a rear plate oriented in a second direction opposite the first direction, and
a side member enclosing at least a part of a space between the front plate and the rear plate;
a display disposed such that at least a portion thereof is visible through the front plate;
a printed circuit board disposed between the display and the rear plate;
a support structure including:
a first face oriented in the first direction and supporting the display,
a second face oriented in the second direction and supporting the printed circuit board, the support structure being coupled to at least a portion of the housing, and
a guide rib extending vertically from the second face;
a battery disposed parallel to the printed circuit board so as not to overlap the printed circuit board, the battery being directly supported by the guide rib in an accommodation portion in the support structure; and
a conductive member disposed between the support structure and the rear plate, the conductive member having an area sufficient to cover the battery,
wherein an upper edge of the guide rib is in close contact with the conductive member so as to form a closed curve to provide a sealing structure disposed between the support structure and the battery and extending along an edge of the battery,
wherein the conductive member includes a wireless charging pad, and
wherein:
the wireless charging pad includes at least one coil, and
the sealing structure is disposed while avoiding the at least one coil.
