Abstract

An electronic device includes a substrate, a coil that has a spiral shape and is provided on the substrate, and a conductive pattern that is provided inside of the coil, has optical reflectivity higher than that of a surface of the coil, and is divided into pieces.

Claims (17)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a substrate;

a coil that has a spiral shape and is provided on the substrate; and

a conductive pattern that is provided inside of the coil, has an optical reflectivity that is higher than that of a surface of the coil, and is divided into pieces;

all the pieces of the conductive pattern being separate from the coil;

wherein the coil is structured with a plurality of coils that are spaced from each other in a longitudinal direction and are electrically connected to each other.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conductive pattern divided into pieces acts as a marker for localization.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conductive pattern divided into pieces acts as a marker for image recognition.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each piece of the conductive pattern has one of round shape, rectangular shape, triangle shape, rhombic shape and elliptical shape.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a capacitor provided on the substrate, wherein the conductive pattern is made of the same material as a lower electrode of the capacitor.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coil is made of a plated layer.

7. An electronic device comprising:

a substrate;

a coil that has a spiral shape and is provided on the substrate; and

a conductive pattern that is divided into pieces and provided in a range from a circumference to a distance of a radius of the coil, has an optical reflectivity higher than that of a surface of the coil, and acts as a marker for localization wherein the conductive pattern is for image recognition;

all the pieces of the conductive pattern are separate from the coil;

wherein the coil is structured with a plurality of coils that are spaced from each other in a longitudinal direction and are electrically connected to each other.
