Abstract

An electronic device including a display unit, a touch unit and a driving unit is provided by the present disclosure. The touch unit includes a first region and a second region. The first region and the second region are separately driven by the driving unit, and the display unit is overlapped with the touch unit.

Claims (15)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a display unit comprising a substrate, wherein the display unit is foldable and has a folding axis;

a touch unit disposed on the substrate and comprising a first sub-unit and a second sub-unit, wherein the first sub-unit and the second sub-unit are not directly connected;

a first signal input electrically connected to the first sub-unit;

a second signal input electrically connected to the second sub-unit;

a driving unit; and

a foldable region capable of being folded along the folding axis and overlapped with the substrate;

wherein the first sub-unit is driven by the driving unit through the first signal input, and the second sub-unit is driven by the driving unit through the second signal input,

wherein the first sub-unit is located at a side of the folding axis, the second sub-unit is located at another side of the folding axis, and the first sub-unit and the second sub-unit are separated by a spacing at the foldable region.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the driving unit comprises a first driving circuit and a second driving circuit, the first sub-unit is driven by the first driving circuit, and the second sub-unit is driven by the second driving circuit.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein one of the first sub-unit and the second sub-unit is on and the other is off.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-unit and the second sub-unit are both on or off.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-unit and the second sub-unit both comprise a plurality of touch electrodes.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-unit and the second sub-unit are driven by the driving unit in sequence.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device has a radius of curvature, and the spacing is lower than π multiplied by the radius of curvature.
