Abstract

A display device including: a display panel; and a digitizer overlapped by the display panel, wherein the digitizer includes a base layer, a folding area, first circuit patterns disposed on a first surface of the base layer and extending in a first direction, a plurality of first dummy patterns disposed in regions defined by the first circuit patterns, second circuit patterns disposed on a second surface of the base layer and extending in a second direction that intersects the first direction, and a plurality of second dummy patterns disposed in regions defined by the second circuit patterns, the second dummy patterns include a plurality of first lower dummy patterns, which do not overlap the folding area, and a plurality of second lower dummy patterns, which overlap the folding area.

Claims (46)

1. A display device, comprising:

a display panel; and

a digitizer overlapped by the display panel,

wherein

the digitizer includes a base layer, a folding area, first circuit patterns disposed on a first surface of the base layer and extending in a first direction, and second circuit patterns disposed on a second surface of the base layer and extending in a second direction that intersects the first direction,

the folding area includes a folding line, which is a long side of the folding area,

a direction in which the first circuit patterns and the second circuit patterns extend intersects the folding line.

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

a plurality of first dummy patterns disposed in regions defined by the first circuit patterns; and

a plurality of second dummy patterns disposed in regions defined by the second circuit patterns.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of first dummy patterns and the plurality of second dummy patterns do not overlap the folding area.

4. The display device of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the plurality of first dummy patterns and the plurality of second dummy patterns respectively overlap the folding area,

a density of an area occupied by the plurality of first dummy patterns or the plurality of second dummy patterns overlapping the folding area is different from a density of an area occupied by the plurality of first dummy patterns or the plurality of second dummy patterns which do not overlap the folding area.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein a density of an area occupied by the plurality of first dummy patterns or the plurality of second dummy patterns overlapping the folding area is less than a density of an area occupied by the plurality of first dummy patterns or the plurality of second dummy patterns which do not overlap the folding area.

6. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising, the first adhesive layer covering the first circuit patterns and disposed on the first surface of the base layer.

7. The display device of claim 6 , further comprising, the second adhesive layer covering the second circuit patterns and disposed on the second surface of the base layer.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a long side of the second circuit pattern forms a negative angle with the folding line, the negative angle is less than 90 degrees.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the negative angle is 20 to 70 degrees.

10. A display device, comprising:

a display panel; and

a digitizer overlapped by the display panel,

wherein

the digitizer includes a base layer, a folding area, first circuit patterns disposed on a first surface of the base layer and extending in a first direction, a plurality of first dummy patterns disposed in regions defined by the first circuit patterns, second circuit patterns disposed on a second surface of the base layer and extending in a second direction that intersects the first direction, and a plurality of second dummy patterns disposed in regions defined by the second circuit patterns,

the folding area includes a folding line, which is a long side of the folding area,

a direction in which one of the plurality of first dummy patterns and the plurality of second dummy patterns extend is parallel to the folding line.

11. The display device of claim 10 , wherein a direction in which the other of the plurality of first dummy patterns and the plurality of second dummy patterns extend is perpendicular to the folding line.

12. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of first dummy patterns and the plurality of second dummy patterns do not overlap the folding area.

13. The display device of claim 10 , wherein at least one of the plurality of first dummy patterns and the plurality of second dummy patterns respectively overlap the folding area,

a density of an area occupied by the plurality of first dummy patterns or the plurality of second dummy patterns overlapping the folding area is different from a density of an area occupied by the plurality of first dummy patterns or the plurality of second dummy patterns which do not overlap the folding area.

14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein a density of an area occupied by the plurality of first dummy patterns or the plurality of second dummy patterns overlapping the folding area is less than a density of an area occupied by the plurality of first dummy patterns or the plurality of second dummy patterns which do not overlap the folding area.

15. The display device of claim 10 , further comprising, the first adhesive layer covering the first circuit patterns and disposed on the first surface of the base layer.

16. The display device of claim 10 , further comprising, the second adhesive layer covering the second circuit patterns and disposed on the second surface of the base layer.

17. A display device, comprising:

a display panel; and

a digitizer overlapped by the display panel,

wherein

the digitizer includes a base layer, a folding area, first circuit patterns disposed on a first surface of the base layer and extending in a first direction, a plurality of first dummy patterns disposed in regions defined by the first circuit patterns, second circuit patterns disposed on a second surface of the base layer and extending in a second direction that intersects the first direction, and a plurality of second dummy patterns disposed in regions defined by the second circuit patterns,

the second dummy patterns include a plurality of first lower dummy patterns, which do not overlap the folding area, and a plurality of second lower dummy patterns, which overlap the folding area, and

a density of an area occupied by the plurality of second lower dummy patterns is different from a density of an area occupied by the plurality of first lower dummy patterns.

18. The display device of claim 17 , wherein the folding area includes a folding line, which is a long side of the folding area,

is a direction in which the plurality of the first lower dummy pattern extend is perpendicular to the folding line.

19. The display device of claim 17 , wherein the plurality of first dummy patterns and the plurality of second dummy patterns do not overlap the folding area.

20. The display device of claim 17 , wherein the folding area includes a folding line, which is a long side of the folding area,

a direction in which the first circuit patterns and the second circuit patterns extend intersects the folding line.

21. The display device of claim 17 , further comprising, the first adhesive layer covering the first circuit patterns and disposed on the first surface of the base layer.

22. The display device of claim 21 , further comprising, the second adhesive layer covering the second circuit patterns and disposed on the second surface of the base layer.
