Abstract

A display assembly and electronic device are provided. The display assembly includes a display panel including one or more display pixels, a substrate electrically connected with the one or more display pixels and including a first area including at least one of layer of the display panel and a second area extending from the first area to an outside of the display panel, and an antenna configured to be formed in at least part of the second area of the substrate.

Claims (40)

1. A display assembly, comprising:

a display panel including one or more display pixels;

a substrate electrically connected with the one or more display pixels and including a first area stacked with at least one layer of the display panel and a second area extending from the first area to an outside of the display panel;

an antenna formed in at least part of the second area of a first surface of the substrate; and

a communication circuit disposed in the second area of a second surface facing in the opposite direction of the first surface of the substrate and electrically connected with the antenna through at least one via,

wherein the first area of the substrate forms a flat surface and supports the display panel,

wherein the second area of the substrate includes a first extension area extending to a side of the first area, and

wherein the first extension area is bent such that at least a portion thereof faces the first area.

2. The display assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:

a display driving circuit electrically connected with the display panel, wherein the display driving circuit is disposed in the second area.

3. The display assembly of claim 1 , wherein the display assembly further comprises:

a heat-radiating layer configured to be formed to face at least part of the second surface of the substrate; and

a second substrate different from the substrate or a shielding member disposed to be capable of thermal conduction between the communication circuit and the heat-radiating layer.

4. The display assembly of claim 1 , wherein the

display panel is disposed on the first surface.

5. The display assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:

a transparent member configured to be formed on the display panel and cover at least part of the first area and at least part of the second area; and

a dielectric formed between the transparent member and the antenna.

6. The display assembly of claim 5 , wherein the dielectric includes an epoxy material and has a permittivity ranging from about 4.4 to 4.6.

7. The display assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:

a conductive member formed between the antenna and the display panel.

8. The display assembly of claim 1 , wherein the substrate includes a first surface and a second surface facing away from the first surface, and

wherein a ground connected with the antenna is formed on at least part of the second surface of the substrate.

9. The display assembly of claim 1 , wherein the antenna is spaced apart from the display panel at a designated distance or more, and wherein the designated distance is determined based on a wavelength of a use frequency of the antenna.

10. The display assembly of claim 9 , wherein the antenna includes an array of radiating conductors, and wherein the array of the radiating conductors are configured to form a periodic pattern and includes patch-type radiating conductors or dipole-type radiating conductors.

11. The display assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second area of the substrate includes a second extension area extending to another side of the first area.

12. The display assembly of claim 11 , further comprising:

a transparent member formed on the display panel and covering at least part of the first area and the second area, wherein the antenna is disposed to face the transparent member in the first extension area or the second extension area.

13. The display assembly of claim 11 , wherein the antenna is disposed in at least part of the bent portion of the first extension area or the second extension area.

14. An electronic device, comprising:

a display panel including one or more display pixels;

a transparent plate including an active area configured to provide a user with an image and/or a video through the display panel and an inactive area extending to a surrounding of the active area;

a substrate including a first area connected with at least part of the display panel and a second area extending from the first area to an outside of the display panel;

an antenna disposed in at least part of the second area of a first surface of the substrate; and

a communication circuit disposed in the second area of a second surface facing in the opposite direction of the first surface of the substrate and electrically connected with the antenna through at least one via,

wherein the antenna disposed in the second area overlaps at least part of the inactive area,

wherein the first area of the substrate forms a flat surface and supports the display panel,

wherein the second area of the substrate includes a first extension area extending to a side of the first area, and

wherein the first extension area is bent such that at least a portion thereof faces the first area.

15. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the antenna includes an array of radiating conductors, and wherein the array of radiating conductors are sized to correspond to a wavelength of a frequency band ranging from about 6 GHz to 300 GHz included in a designated frequency.
