Abstract

An electronic device includes a substrate, a touch layer and a cover window layer. The touch layer includes a plurality of touch units on the substrate. The cover window layer is disposed on the touch layer, wherein the cover window layer includes a plurality of structures disposed on the substrate. At least one of the touch units partially overlaps with at least two of the structures of the cover window layer, and at least one of the structures is directly touchable from outside.

Claims (22)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a substrate;

a touch layer including a plurality of touch units on the substrate; and

a cover window layer disposed on the touch layer, wherein the cover window layer includes a plurality of structures disposed on the substrate,

wherein at least one of the plurality of touch units partially overlaps with at least two of the plurality of structures of the cover window layer, and at least one of the plurality of structures is directly touchable from outside.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the substrate includes a foldable region.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of structures are protrusions.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of structures are recesses.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of structures has a profile in a cross-sectional view, and at least a part of the profile is curved.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cover window layer further includes a base layer disposed between the touch layer and the plurality of structures.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a display layer disposed on the substrate.

8. An electronic device, comprising:

a substrate;

a touch layer including a plurality of touch units on the substrate; and

a cover window layer disposed on the touch layer, wherein the cover window layer includes a plurality of structures disposed on the substrate,

wherein an area of at least one of the plurality of touch units is greater than an area of at least one of the plurality of structures in a top view, and the at least one of the plurality of structures is directly touchable from outside.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the substrate includes a foldable region.

10. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the plurality of structures are protrusions.

11. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the plurality of structures are recesses.

12. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of structures has a profile in a cross-sectional view, and at least a part of the profile is curved.

13. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the cover window layer further includes a base layer disposed between the touch layer and the plurality of structures.

14. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising a display layer disposed on the substrate.
