Abstract

An electronic device including: a display layer; a cover layer disposed under the display layer; a circuit board connected to the display layer and disposed under the cover layer; and a capacitor disposed on the circuit board, wherein the cover layer includes a first area overlapping the capacitor and a second area adjacent to the first area when viewed on a plane, wherein an opening is provided in the first area.

Claims (41)

1 . An electronic device comprising:

a display layer;

a cover layer disposed under the display layer;

a circuit board connected to the display layer and disposed under the cover layer; and

a capacitor disposed on the circuit board,

wherein the cover layer includes a first area overlapping the capacitor and a second area adjacent to the first area when viewed on a plane,

wherein an opening is provided in the first area, an entirety of the opening overlapping the circuit board on the plane.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a sensor layer disposed on the display layer and including a plurality of sensing electrodes, and a sensor driver configured to operate the sensor layer,

wherein the sensor driver is disposed on the circuit board.

3 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the sensor driver includes a charge pump,

wherein the charge pump is electrically connected to the capacitor.

4 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the cover layer includes a metallic material.

5 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein sound is generated by the capacitor, and the sound is diffusely reflected from the opening.

6 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the opening includes a plurality of openings,

wherein each of the plurality of openings extends in a first direction and the plurality of openings are spaced apart from each other in a second direction intersecting the first direction when viewed on the plane.

7 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the cover layer includes a sub-cover disposed within the opening.

8 . The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the sub-cover includes a plurality of sub-covers,

wherein the plurality of sub-covers are arranged along a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction.

9 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the circuit board is in contact with the cover layer.

10 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the capacitor is spaced apart from the cover layer with the circuit board located therebetween.

11 . The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a window disposed on the display layer.

12 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the circuit board overlaps the opening when viewed on the plane.

13 . An electronic device comprising:

a display layer;

a sensor layer disposed on the display layer and including a plurality of sensing electrodes;

a cover layer disposed under the display layer and having a plurality of openings defined therein;

a circuit board connected to the display layer and disposed under the cover layer;

a sensor driver configured to operate the sensor layer and disposed on the circuit board; and

a capacitor connected to the sensor driver and disposed on the circuit board,

wherein the plurality of openings overlap the capacitor when viewed on a plane.

14 . The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the sensor driver includes a charge pump,

wherein the charge pump is electrically connected to the capacitor.

15 . The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the cover layer includes a metallic material.

16 . The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein each of the plurality of openings extends in a first direction and the plurality of openings are spaced apart from each other in a second direction intersecting the first direction when viewed on the plane.

17 . The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the circuit board is in contact with the cover layer.

18 . The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the capacitor is spaced apart from the cover layer with the circuit board located therebetween.

19 . The electronic device of claim 13 , further comprising:

a window disposed on the display layer.

20 . The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the circuit board overlaps the opening when viewed on the plane.
