Display device
An embodiments may be related to a display device. A display device may include display layer and an antenna. The display layer may comprise a first display area including an exposed area and a cover area, a folding display area adjacent to the first display area, and a second display area adjacent to the folding area. The antenna disposed on the exposed area of the first display area, wherein the second display area covers the cover area of the first display area and exposes the exposed area of the first display area, when the folding display area is folded.
1. A display device comprising:
a display layer comprising a first display area including an exposed area and a cover area, a folding display area adjacent to the first display area, and a second display area adjacent to the display folding area;
a sensor layer disposed on the display layer; and
an antenna provided in the sensor layer and overlapping the exposed area of the first display area on a plane,
wherein the second display area covers the cover area of the first display area and exposes the exposed area of the first display area, when the folding display area is folded,
wherein the sensor layer comprises:
a first conductive layer disposed on the display layer;
an insulating layer disposed on the first conductive layer; and
a second conductive layer disposed on the insulating layer, and the antenna comprises an antenna pattern disposed on the same layer as the second conductive layer.
2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the antenna further comprises a ground pattern disposed on the same layer as the first conductive layer and grounded, and the ground pattern has a size greater than a size of the antenna pattern.
3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second conductive layer of the sensor layer comprises an auxiliary pattern disposed adjacent to the antenna pattern and configured to sense an external input.
4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display layer comprises:
a first electrode;
a light emitting layer disposed on the first electrode; and
a second electrode disposed on the light emitting layer, and spaced from the antenna pattern in a plan view of the display device.
5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the second electrode includes an opening, wherein the antenna pattern is at least partially disposed inside the opening in the plan view of the display device.
6. A display device comprising:
a display layer comprising a first display area including an exposed area and a cover area, a folding display area adjacent to the first display area, and a second display area adjacent to the display folding area;
a sensor layer disposed on the display layer;
an antenna provided in the sensor layer and overlapping the exposed area of the first display area on a plane,
wherein the second display area covers the cover area of the first display area and exposes the exposed area of the first display area, when the folding display area is folded;
a portion of the antenna disposed on the sensor layer, wherein the sensor layer comprises:
a first conductive layer disposed on the display layer;
an insulating layer disposed on the first conductive layer; and
a second conductive layer disposed on the insulating layer,
the antenna comprises:
an antenna pattern disposed on the sensor layer; and
a transmission line disposed on the same layer as the first conductive layer or the second conductive layer, and the antenna pattern is indirectly fed through the transmission line.
7. A display device comprising:
a display layer comprising a first display area including an exposed area and a cover area, a folding display area adjacent to the first display area, and a second display area adjacent to the display folding area;
a sensor layer disposed on the display layer;
an antenna provided in the sensor layer and overlapping the exposed area of the first display area on a plane,
wherein the second display area covers the cover area of the first display area and exposes the exposed area of the first display area, when the folding display area is folded; and
an additional antenna, wherein each of the first display area and the second display area comprises a main display area and an auxiliary display surface bent from the main display area, and wherein the additional antenna is disposed on the auxiliary display surface.
8. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first additional antenna overlapping the cover area of the first display area; and
a second additional antenna overlapping the second display area.
9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first display area is longer than the second display area in a direction perpendicular to a folding axis of the display device.
