Abstract

A display device includes an optical fingerprint sensor; a display panel; a patterned film disposed below the display panel and having an opening portion that exposes the optical fingerprint sensor; a heat dissipating layer disposed below the patterned film, and that dissipates heat; and a cushion layer disposed between the patterned film and the heat dissipating layer, and that absorbs an impact. The optical fingerprint sensor is disposed below the cushion layer, and the heat dissipating layer has an opening portion that has a size larger than a size of the opening portion of the patterned film.

Claims (17)

1. A display device comprising:

an optical fingerprint sensor;

a display panel;

a patterned film disposed below the display panel;

a heat dissipating layer disposed between the patterned film and the optical fingerprint sensor, and configured to dissipate heat; and

a cushion layer disposed between the patterned film and the heat dissipating layer, configured to absorb an impact, and comprising a first hole at a position corresponding to the optical fingerprint sensor,

wherein the patterned film and the heat dissipating layer comprise identical opening portions each having a plurality of holes at a position corresponding to the optical fingerprint sensor,

wherein the display panel contacts an air gap formed by at least one of the plurality of holes of the opening portion of the patterned film, at least one of the plurality of holes of the opening portion of the heat dissipating layer, and the first hole of the cushion layer that communicate with one another, and

a width of the first hole of the cushion layer is larger than a width of each of the plurality of holes of the opening portion of the patterned film and larger than a width of each of the plurality of holes of the opening portion of the heat dissipating layer, in a plan view.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the holes has either a circular shape, a quadrate shape, a rectangular shape, a triangular shape, or a rhombic shape.

3. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising an embossing layer disposed between the patterned film and the cushion layer.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the embossing layer comprises a second hole, and the second hole that is substantially the same size as the first hole of the embossing layer,

wherein the second hole of the embossing layer and the first hole of the cushion layer form the air gap.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the opening portion of the patterned film, the opening portion of the heat dissipating layer, and the air gap are located above the optical fingerprint sensor.

6. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the display panel is exposed through the air gap formed by at least one of the plurality of holes of the opening portion of the patterned film, at least one of the plurality of holes of the opening portion of the heat dissipating layer, the first hole of the cushion layer, and the second hole of the embossing layer that communicate with one another.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the optical fingerprint sensor is exposed through the air gap.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the optical fingerprint sensor is exposed through the air gap.
