Abstract
An electronic device is provided. A lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus is in contact with a function button. An accommodating structure is arranged in the lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus. A stopping assembly is arranged on a side of a fingerprint hole close to the function button. Inserting a partial area of the stopping assembly into the accommodating structure enables the lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus, when pressed, to move in movement space of the accommodating structure on the side of the fingerprint hole close to the function button, so as to limit a displacement amount of the lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus within a specific range, implementing the functions of the lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus and of the function button, and preventing the lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus from being displaced from the originally designed position.
