Abstract

A display apparatus capable of detecting movement of an object and displaying text corresponding to the detected movement is provided. The display apparatus includes a substrate including a display area and a peripheral area proximate to the display area. A plurality of pixels are arranged in the display area. A first antenna is arranged in the peripheral area and extends in a first direction. A second antenna is arranged in the peripheral area and extends in a second direction crossing the first direction.

Claims (47)

1 . A display apparatus, comprising:

a substrate including a display area and a peripheral area proximate to the display area;

a plurality of pixels arranged in the display area;

a first motion detection antenna disposed in the peripheral area and extending in a first direction; and

a second motion detection antenna disposed in the peripheral area and extending in a second direction crossing the first direction,

wherein the second motion detection antenna is disposed on a side of the display area that is adjacent to a side of the display area that the first motion detection antenna is disposed on, and

wherein both the first motion detection antenna and the second motion detection antenna are separated from the display area by a dam.

2 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a data driving circuit disposed in the peripheral area and configured to output data signals to the plurality of pixels.

3 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising an antenna driving circuit disposed in the peripheral area, the antenna driving circuit configured to:

transmit, to the first motion detection antenna and the second motion detection antenna, signals regarding electromagnetic waves to be radiated from the first motion detection antenna and the second motion detection antenna, or

process electromagnetic signals received by the first motion detection antenna and the second motion detection antenna.

4 . The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the data driving circuit is disposed in a first portion of the peripheral area, and the antenna driving circuit is disposed in a second portion of the peripheral area.

5 . The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the display area is disposed between the first portion and the second portion.

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

a plurality of first pads disposed in a first portion of the peripheral area and electrically connected to the data driving circuit; and

a plurality of second pads disposed in a second portion of the peripheral area and electrically connected to the first motion detection antenna or the second motion detection antenna.

7 . The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the display area is disposed between the first portion and the second portion.

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

a display printed circuit board electrically connected to the plurality of first pads; and

an antenna printed circuit board electrically connected to the plurality of second pads.

9 . The display apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising an antenna driving circuit disposed on the antenna printed circuit board, the antenna driving circuit configured to:

transmit, to the first motion detection antenna and the second motion detection antenna, signals regarding electromagnetic waves to be radiated from the first motion detection antenna and the second motion detection antenna, or

process electromagnetic signals received by the first motion detection antenna and the second motion detection antenna.

10 . The display apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising a main circuit board electrically connected to the display printed circuit board and the antenna printed circuit board.

11 . The display apparatus of claim 10 , further comprising an antenna driving circuit disposed on the main circuit board, the antenna driving circuit configured to:

transmit, to the first motion detection antenna and the second motion detection antenna, signals regarding electromagnetic waves to be radiated from the first motion detection antenna and the second motion detection antenna, or

process electromagnetic signals received by the first motion detection antenna and the second motion detection antenna.

12 . The display apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the first motion detection antenna and the second motion detection antenna are disposed between the dam and an edge of the substrate.

13 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display apparatus is configured to detect a movement of an object through the first motion detection antenna and the second motion detection antenna and is further configured to display text corresponding to the detected movement of the object through the plurality of pixels.

14 . The display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the movement of the object is a hand movement conforming to a sign language.

15 . An electronic device, comprising:

a display area including a pair of first sides extending in a first direction and a pair of second sides extending in a second direction crossing the first direction;

a non-display area at least partially surrounding the display area and including a pair of first sides extending in the first direction and corresponding to the pair of first sides of the display area, and a pair of second sides extending in the second direction and corresponding to the pair of second sides of the display area;

a first motion detection antenna extending in the second direction from one of the first sides of the pair of first sides of the non-display area; and

a second motion detection antenna extending in the first direction from one of the second sides of the pair of second sides of the non-display area,

wherein each of the first motion detection antenna and the second motion detection antenna are configured to detect movement of an object proximate to the display apparatus and communicate the detected movement to a driving circuit that is configured to interpret the movement into text, and

wherein both the first motion detection antenna and the second motion detection antenna are separated from the display area by a dam.

16 . The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the driving circuit is disposed in the non-display area.

17 . The electronic device of claim 15 , further comprising:

a plurality of first pads disposed in the non-display area and electrically connected to the driving circuit; and

a plurality of second pads disposed in the non-display area and electrically connected to the first and/or the second motion detection antennas.

18 . The electronic device of claim 17 , further comprising:

a display printed circuit board electrically connected to the plurality of first pads; and

an antenna printed circuit board electrically connected to the plurality of second pads.

19 . The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the display area is configured to display the text interpreted by the driving circuit.

20 . The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the driving circuit is configured to interpret movement that conforms to a sign language hand gesture.
