Abstract

An electronic device includes a substrate, a sensing unit overlapped with the substrate and including a first sub-unit and a second sub-unit, a first signal input electrically connected to the first sub-unit and a second signal input electrically connected to the second sub-unit. The first sub-unit and the second sub-unit are symmetrical to an axis, and the first signal input and the second signal input are asymmetrical to the axis.

Claims (18)

1 . An electronic device, comprising:

a display unit, comprising:

a substrate; and

an insulating layer disposed on the substrate, wherein the insulating layer comprises a first protruding structure, a second protruding structure and a third protruding structure, the second protruding structure is located between the first protruding structure and the third protruding structure, and a height included between the first protruding structure and the second protruding structure is greater than a height included between the second protruding structure and the third protruding structure;

a sensing unit overlapped with the substrate and comprising a first sub-unit and a second sub-unit;

a first signal input electrically connected to the first sub-unit;

a second signal input electrically connected to the second sub-unit; and

a wire electrically connected to the sensing unit and disposed on the insulating layer, wherein at least a portion of the wire is disposed on a top surface and a side surface of the first protruding structure, a top surface and a side surface of the second protruding structure, and a top surface and a side surface of the third protruding structure,

wherein the first sub-unit and the second sub-unit are symmetrical to an axis, and the first signal input and the second signal input are asymmetrical to the axis.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the axis is located between the first sub-unit and the second sub-unit.

3 . The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a driving unit, wherein the first sub-unit is driven by the driving unit through the first signal input, and the second sub-unit is driven by the driving unit through the second signal input.

4 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein an area of the first sub-unit is the same as an area of the second sub-unit.

5 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a shape of the first sub-unit is the same as a shape of the second sub-unit.

6 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first signal input is overlapped with the first sub-unit, and the second signal input is overlapped with the second sub-unit.

7 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein an extending direction of the axis is parallel to at least one edge of the first sub-unit and at least one edge of the second sub-unit.

8 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device has a first side, an extending direction of the first side is perpendicular to an extending direction of the axis, and in the extending direction of the axis, a distance between the first signal input and the first side is different from a distance between the second signal input and the first side.

9 . The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein in the extending direction of the axis, a distance between the first sub-unit and the first side is the same as a distance between the second sub-unit and the first side.

10 . The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of pixels disposed on the substrate, wherein the first sub-unit is overlapped with a portion of the plurality of pixels, and the second sub-unit is overlapped with another portion of the plurality of pixels.
