Abstract

A display apparatus includes a base substrate including an opening area which transmits light, an opening peripheral area which is a non-display area surrounding the opening area, and a display area surrounding the opening peripheral area, a thin film transistor disposed on the base substrate, a light emitting structure electrically connected to the thin film transistor, and a loop-type antenna electrode disposed on the base substrate in the opening peripheral area to surround the opening area.

Claims (57)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a base substrate including an opening area which transmits light, an opening peripheral area which is a non-display area surrounding the opening area, and a display area surrounding the opening peripheral area;

a thin film transistor disposed on the base substrate;

a light emitting structure electrically connected to the thin film transistor;

an antenna electrode disposed on the base substrate in the opening peripheral area to surround the opening area;

a shielding electrode entirely disposed in the opening peripheral area between the base substrate and the antenna electrode such that the shielding electrode is overlapped entirely by the opening peripheral area in a plan view; and

a signal line disposed between the shielding electrode and the base substrate.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a thin film encapsulation layer disposed on the light emitting structure,

wherein the antenna electrode is disposed on the thin film encapsulation layer.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first wiring connected to an end of the antenna electrode; and

a second wiring connected to an opposite end of the antenna electrode,

wherein the first wiring and the second wiring extend to a peripheral area, which is a non-display area surrounding the display area, through the display area.

4. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the antenna electrode includes a transparent conductive material.

5. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a hole or a transparent window is defined or disposed in the opening area of the base substrate.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a cover window disposed on the antenna electrode,

wherein the antenna electrode is disposed between the cover window and the base substrate.

7. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

an optical module disposed to overlap the opening area.

8. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a driver including a radio frequency integrated circuit which provides a power to the antenna electrode.

9. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting structure includes:

a first electrode electrically connected to the thin film transistor;

a light emitting layer disposed on the first electrode; and

a second electrode disposed on the light emitting layer.

10. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

another antenna electrode disposed on the base substrate in the opening peripheral area to surround the opening area,

wherein the another antenna electrode is spaced apart from the antenna electrode, and

wherein the antenna electrode surrounds the another antenna electrode.

11. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a touch electrode disposed on the light emitting structure.

12. The display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the touch electrode and the antenna electrode are disposed in a same layer as each other.

13. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a display apparatus which displays an image;

an optical module disposed to overlap a portion of the display apparatus; and

a container which contains the display apparatus and the optical module,

wherein the display apparatus includes:

a base substrate including an opening area through which the optical module is at least partially exposed, an opening peripheral area surrounding the opening area, and a display area surrounding the opening peripheral area;

an antenna electrode disposed on the base substrate in the opening peripheral area to surround the opening area;

a shielding electrode entirely disposed in the opening peripheral area between the base substrate and the antenna electrode such that the shielding electrode is overlapped entirely by the opening peripheral area in a plan view; and

a signal line disposed between the shielding electrode and the base substrate.

14. The electronic apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the optical module includes at least one selected from a front camera module, a rear camera module, a face recognition sensor module, a pupil recognition sensor module, an acceleration sensor module, a geomagnetic sensor module, a proximity sensor module, an infrared sensor module, and an illuminance sensor module.

15. The electronic apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the display apparatus further includes:

a first wiring connected to an end of the antenna electrode; and

a second wiring connected to an opposite end of the antenna electrode,

wherein the first wiring and the second wiring extend to a peripheral area, which is a non-display area surrounding the display area, through the display area.

16. The electronic apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the display apparatus further includes:

a cover window disposed on the antenna electrode,

wherein the antenna electrode is disposed between the cover window and the base substrate.

17. The electronic apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the antenna electrode includes a transparent conductive material.

18. The electronic apparatus of claim 13 , wherein a hole or a transparent window is defined or disposed in the opening area of the base substrate.

19. The electronic apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the display apparatus further includes:

another antenna electrode disposed on the base substrate in the opening peripheral area to surround the opening area, and

wherein the another antenna electrode is spaced apart from the antenna electrode.

20. The electronic apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the antenna electrode surrounds the another antenna electrode.
