Abstract

Various embodiments relate to an electronic device comprising a touch electrode. The electronic device may comprise: a housing comprising a first microphone hole; a first printed circuit board positioned inside the housing; a touch sensor circuit comprising a touch sensor positioned on the first printed circuit board; at least one microphone configured to collect external sound; at least one second printed circuit board electrically connected to the first printed circuit board, including a first surface facing an interior of the housing, in which the microphone is positioned, and comprises a second microphone hole, and a first touch electrode electrically connected to the touch sensor circuit by being positioned on a second surface, which is a surface opposite the first surface, to surround the second microphone hole, wherein the second printed circuit board is disposed between the housing and the first printed circuit board so that the second microphone hole corresponds to the first microphone hole; and a conductive pattern positioned to cover at least a portion of the first touch electrode, and electrically connected to the touch sensor circuit.
