Abstract

An electronic device includes an optical lens module; and a display including a pixel layer and a wiring layer, wherein the pixel layer may include: a first area corresponding to an angle of view of the optical lens module; and a second area around the first area, and wherein the wiring layer may include: a transparent wire having a first refractive index; a first material provided adjacent to the transparent wire and having a second refractive index; and a second material having a third refractive index, wherein the first material is disposed on the second material or the second material is disposed on the first material.

Claims (47)

1 . An electronic device comprising:

an optical lens module comprising a plurality of lenses; and

a display comprising a pixel layer and a wiring layer,

wherein the pixel layer comprises:

a first area corresponding to an angle of view of the optical lens module; and

a second area around the first area, and

wherein the wiring layer comprises:

a transparent wire having a first refractive index;

a first material provided adjacent to the transparent wire and having a second refractive index; and

a second material having a third refractive index, wherein the first material is disposed on the second material or the second material is disposed on the first material,

wherein a first surface of the transparent wire has irregularities provided thereon.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the optical lens module comprises an under display camera (UDC) provided under an active area of the display.

3 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the first area of the pixel layer comprises a first plurality of pixels provided at a first interval, and

the second area of the pixel layer comprises a second plurality of pixels provided at a second interval that is smaller than the first interval.

4 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the wiring layer satisfies the expression:

−0.045≤( N ( A )* T ( A )− N ( B )* T ( B )− N ( B ′)* T ( B ′))/( T ( A )+ T ( B )+ T ( B ′))≤0.045,

where N(A) is the first refractive index of the transparent wire,

N(B) is the second refractive index of the first material,

N(B′) is the third refractive index of the second material,

T(A) is a thickness of the transparent wire,

T(B) is a thickness of the first material, and

T(B′) is a thickness of the second material.

5 . The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the wiring layer satisfies the expression:

T ( A )= T ( B )+ T ( B ′).

6 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the transparent wire comprises indium tin oxide (ITO).

7 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein each of the first material and the second material comprises a non-conductive material.

8 . The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the first material comprises SiN x .

9 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the wiring layer at least partially overlaps pixels of the display in a first direction, and

wherein the transparent wire is elongated in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

10 . The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the first material is adjacent to the transparent wire in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.

11 . The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the first material and the second material are adjacent to each other in the first direction, and the second material is adjacent to the transparent wire in the third direction.

12 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the irregularities are provided on only the first surface of the transparent wire.

13 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a second surface of the transparent wire that is opposite to the first surface has the irregularities provided thereon.

14 . The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the irregularities are asymmetrically provided on the first and second surfaces of the transparent wire.

15 . An electronic device comprising:

an optical lens module comprising a plurality of lenses;

a display comprising a first area corresponding to an angle of view of the optical lens module and a second area around the first area, wherein the first area comprises a first plurality of pixels provided at a first interval, and the second area comprises a second plurality of pixels provided at a second interval that is smaller than the first interval; and

a wiring layer comprising a plurality of transparent wires are arranged side by side,

wherein the optical lens module is provided under an active area of the display, and

wherein each transparent wire of the plurality of transparent wires comprises irregularities having a predetermined thickness on at least one side of the transparent wire facing other adjacent transparent wires among the plurality of transparent wires.

16 . The electronic device of claim 15 , further comprising:

a plurality of first materials provided adjacent to the plurality of transparent wires; and

a plurality of second materials provided adjacent to the plurality of transparent wires,

wherein the plurality of first materials are disposed on the plurality of second materials or the plurality of second materials are disposed on the plurality of first materials.

17 . The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the irregularities are provided on only one surface of each transparent wire among the plurality of transparent wires.

18 . The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the irregularities are provided on a first surface of each transparent wire of the plurality of transparent wires and on a second surface of each transparent wire of the plurality of transparent wires that is opposite to the first surface.

19 . The electronic device of claim 18 , wherein the irregularities are asymmetrically provided on the first and second surfaces of each of the plurality of transparent wires.
