Abstract

A display device including a display panel; a pressure sensor disposed under the display panel and including a first protrusion at one side thereof; and a waterproofing member disposed under the display panel and including a first accommodation portion at one side thereof facing the one side. The protrusion of the pressure sensor is disposed to face the first accommodation portion of the waterproofing member, and the first protrusion is inserted in the first accommodation portion.

Claims (16)

1. A display device, comprising:

a display panel;

a pressure sensor disposed under the display panel and comprising a first protrusion at one side thereof; and

a waterproofing member disposed under the display panel and outside the pressure sensor, the waterproofing member comprising a first accommodation portion at one side thereof facing the one side of the pressure sensor,

wherein:

the protrusion of the pressure sensor is disposed to extend outwardly and face the first accommodation portion of the waterproofing member, and the first protrusion is inserted in the first accommodation portion; and

the waterproofing member does not overlap with the pressure sensor in a thickness direction.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first protrusion comprises a first pressure sensing cell.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the waterproofing member further comprises a second accommodation portion, and the first accommodation portion has a different shape from the second accommodation portion.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the pressure sensor further comprises a second protrusion, and the first protrusion has a different shape from the second protrusion.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the second protrusion is inserted in the second accommodation portion, and the second protrusion comprises a second pressure sensing cell.

6. The display device of claim 5 , further comprising a middle frame disposed under the display panel,

wherein the pressure sensor is disposed between the display panel and the middle frame.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the pressure sensor comprises a pressure sensing cell; and

the pressure sensing cell comprises a driving electrode and a sensing electrode, which are disposed on one surface of a first substrate, and a pressure sensing layer, which is disposed on one surface of a second substrate facing the one surface of the first substrate.
