Abstract

Claims (33)

1 . An electronic device comprising:

a display;

a cover comprising a light transmissive area;

a printed circuit board disposed between the display and the cover;

a sensor module comprising a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit, the sensor module being disposed on the printed circuit board;

a partition wall disposed on the printed circuit board and positioned between the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit; and

an optical film disposed between the sensor module and the cover, the optical film comprising:

a pattern layer including a first pattern positioned under the partition wall; and

a first absorption layer disposed between the first pattern and the partition wall and including a material that absorbs light.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the pattern layer includes a second pattern at least partially facing the light emitting unit and a third pattern at least partially facing the light receiving unit.

3 . The electronic device of claim 2 ,

wherein the first pattern and the second pattern protrude in a same direction from a surface of the pattern layer, and

wherein the second pattern and the third pattern protrude in a different direction from the surface of the pattern layer.

4 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the first pattern, the second pattern and the third pattern of the pattern layer protrude in a form of concentric circles having different diameters from a surface of the pattern.

5 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the optical film includes a second absorption layer disposed on the pattern layer at an outer area of the third pattern.

6 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the first pattern of the pattern layer of the optical film is configured to guide first light to the first absorption layer,

wherein the second pattern of the pattern layer of the optical film is configured to travel second light in a first direction substantially perpendicular to an extension direction of the pattern layer, the second light being incident from the light emitting unit of the sensor module to the second pattern, and

wherein the third pattern of the pattern layer of the optical film is configured to travel third light in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the second light being incident from the light emitting unit of the sensor module to the third pattern.

7 . The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the first pattern of the pattern layer of the optical film comprises:

a first surface, and

a second surface located farther from a center of the pattern layer than the first surface of the first pattern,

wherein an angle between the first surface of the first pattern and a surface of the pattern layer is an acute angle,

wherein an angle between the second surface of the first pattern and the surface of the pattern layer is an obtuse angle,

wherein the second pattern of the pattern layer of the optical film comprises:

a first surface, and

a second surface located farther from the center of the pattern layer than the first surface of the second pattern,

wherein an angle between the first surface of the second pattern and the surface of the pattern layer is smaller than an angle between the second surface of the second pattern and the surface of the pattern layer,

wherein the third pattern of the pattern layer of the optical film comprises:

a first surface, and

a second surface located farther from the center of the pattern layer than the first surface of the third pattern, and

wherein an angle between the first surface of the third pattern and the surface of the pattern layer is greater than an angle between the second surface of the third pattern and the surface of the pattern layer.

8 . The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the angle between the first surface of the first pattern and the surface of the pattern layer decreases as a distance between the first surface of the first pattern and the center of the pattern layer increases.

9 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the optical film is attached to be in contact with the cover in order to prevent a space from being formed between the cover and the optical film.
