Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a display panel on which a plurality of pixels are arranged, and an image capturing element configured to receive light through the display panel. The display panel includes a line formed in an area overlapping with the image capturing element and connected to the pixels. The line is shaped to meander in a plan view.

Claims (27)

1 . An electronic apparatus comprising:

a display panel on which a plurality of pixels are arranged and has a display surface and a back surface opposed to the display surface; and

an image capturing element arranged behind the back surface of the display panel and configured to receive light through the display panel, wherein

the display panel includes a plurality of lines formed in an area overlapping with the image capturing element and connected to the pixels,

the image capturing element is arranged overlapping with the pixels and the plurality of lines in a plan view,

the plurality of lines has a first line extending in a first direction and a second line extending a second direction intersecting the first direction,

the first line and the second line intersect each other in the plan view,

the first line is shaped to meander in the plan view,

the first line includes a first semicircular part having a first radius of curvature and a second semicircular part having a second radius of curvature,

the first semicircular part is convex to the second direction,

the second semicircular part is concave to the second direction,

the first semicircular part and the second semicircular part are connected continuously,

the second line is shaped to meander in the plan view,

the second line includes a third semicircular part having the third radius of curvature and a fourth semicircular part having a fourth radius of curvature,

the third semicircular part is convex to the first direction,

the fourth semicircular part is concave to the first direction, and

the third semicircular part and the fourth semicircular part are connected continuously.

2 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, the first radius of curvature is different from the second radius of curvature.

3 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the first line and the second line are the same shape.

4 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

each of the pixels includes a light emitting element and a pixel circuit configured to drive the light emitting element,

the second line extends in a second direction and includes first and second scan lines, and

between first and second pixels which are adjacent to each other in the second direction, the first pixel includes a pixel circuit which is connected to the first scan line while the second pixel includes a pixel circuit which is connected to the second scan line.

5 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each pixel includes a pixel circuit and pixel circuits of pixels which are adjacent in the second direction are shifted in the first direction.

6 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the first semicircular part is symmetry with the second semicircular part.
