Abstract

This application provides a display apparatus and an electronic device. A transparent dielectric layer is added to the display apparatus, metal is deposited on the transparent dielectric layer, to form a metal grid, and a part of the metal grid is used as a radiator of an antenna structure. After an antenna is integrated into the display apparatus, through optimization of an optical design, the metal grid may meet a requirement for optical transmittance, and display effect is not obviously affected. In addition, because the antenna structure is integrated into the display apparatus, coverage space of a wireless signal is increased. This avoids occurrence of a signal blind region, so that the electronic device has a more reliable connection in a millimeter-wave band, to meet a communication requirement.
