Abstract

An electronic device includes a display unit, where the display unit includes a touch layer and a liquid crystal panel that are stacked, the touch layer is located on an outer side of the liquid crystal panel, and the touch layer includes an ITO wiring region, where the ITO wiring region includes a first region and a second region, antenna units are disposed in the first region, and ITO wirings are disposed in the second region, and the antenna units and the ITO wirings are insulated.

Claims (18)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a display unit, wherein the display unit comprises a touch layer and a liquid crystal panel that are stacked, the touch layer is located on an outer side of the liquid crystal panel, and the touch layer comprises an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) wiring region, wherein the ITO wiring region comprises a first region and a second region;

antenna units disposed in the first region; and

ITO wirings disposed in the second region, and the antenna units and the ITO wirings are insulated, wherein the antenna units are at least partially made of same structure as the ITO wirings,

wherein a Poly Ethylene Terephthalate (PET) layer is further disposed on a side of the touch layer away from the liquid crystal panel, and coupling sheets in a one to one correspondence with the antenna units are disposed at positions that are on the PET layer and that correspond to the antenna units.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the antenna units is N, and N is an integer greater than 1.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the N antenna units are distributed in an array.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a signal source, wherein the touch layer further comprises a bonding region, and the antenna units are connected to the signal source through the bonding region.

5. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the signal source is a millimeter wave signal source.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the ITO wiring region further comprises a third region,

wherein antenna radiators are disposed in the third region, wherein the antenna radiators are at least partially made of same structure as the ITO wirings,

wherein the ITO wirings in the third region, the ITO wirings in the second region, and the antenna units are insulated, and

wherein an area of the antenna radiators is larger than that of the antenna units.

7. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the first region is located in the third region.

8. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the antenna radiators and antenna units are configured to work on different frequency bands.

9. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling sheets are configured to increase an impedance bandwidth of the antenna units.

10. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling sheets have a traction effect on current distribution of the antenna units.

11. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein orthographic projections of the coupling sheets on the touch layer coincide with the corresponding antenna units.
