Abstract

In an electronic device connected to an external device and a cable, an electronic device comprising a driving unit including an image source panel configured to form image light, a display unit configured to make the image light formed by the driving unit visible to a user, and a frame provided with the driving unit and the display unit, wherein the frame includes a front frame configured to locate the display unit to be seen by the user, a pair of side frames connected to left and right sides of the front frame, respectively, and a port formed at an outer side of at least one point on which the side frame and the front frame are connected so that a cable for transferring data or power from an external device may be attached or detached, and the side frame includes a support unit configured to support a head, and a connection unit configured to connect the support unit and the front frame and having a step recessed inward from the support unit to secure a space for a connector of a cable is provided to minimize the interference problem of the cable and to implement a light and simple design.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising:
a driving unit including an image source panel configured to form image light;
a display unit configured to make the image light formed by the driving unit visible to a user; and
a frame provided with the driving unit and the display unit, wherein
the frame includes:
a front frame configured to locate the display unit to be seen by the user;
a pair of side frames connected to left and right sides of the front frame, respectively; and
a port formed at an outer side of at least one point on which the side frame and the front frame are connected so that a cable for transferring data or power from an external device may be attached or detached, and

the side frame includes:
a support unit configured to support a head; and
a connection unit configured to connect the support unit and the front frame and having a step recessed inward from the support unit to secure a space for a connector of a cable.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a side frame magnet provided to the support unit and configured to generate mutual attraction with a magnet provided to the cable.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the support unit and the connection unit are manufactured as separate pieces and hinge-coupled to pivot mutually.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a hook unit to which the side frame and the front frame are provided detachably.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein a hook of the hook unit is formed in the side frame, and the connection unit includes:
a support end formed in a vertical direction; and
a pair of parallel cantilevers formed extending in a horizontal direction from an upper side and a lower side of the support end, respectively, outer ends of which form the hook that is fastened to a hook groove of the front frame.

6. The electronic device of claim 4 , further comprising a head unit selectively coupled to the front frame to seat on the head of the user when coupled and configured to form an electronic part.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the head unit includes:
a support band surrounding the head to fix the head unit to the head;
a support bracket connected with the support band to support a region of the head; and
a main body connected with the support band to form the electronic part.

8. The electronic device of claim 7 , further comprising a band magnet provided to the support band to generate mutual attraction with the magnet provided to the cable connecting the main body and the driving unit through the port.

9. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the support bracket includes a fastening unit configured to be fastened to the front frame, and the main body includes a memory and a power supply and is located corresponding to back of the user's head.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the support unit includes a cable seating unit forming an open area of ‘c’ shape at an end of the connection unit side.
