Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes a window, a display panel disposed below the window, and a digitizer disposed below the display panel. The digitizer includes a base layer having a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface, a first sensing coil disposed on the first surface of the base layer, a second sensing coil disposed on the second surface of the base layer, a first adhesive layer disposed on the first sensing coil, and a second adhesive layer disposed on the second sensing coil. The first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer are multi-curing adhesive layers.
