Abstract

An electronic apparatus including: an electronic module; a display panel including a first region overlapped with the electronic module and a second region adjacent to the first region, a plurality of first emission parts, which are disposed in the first region and are spaced apart from each other, and a plurality of second emission parts, which are disposed in the second region and are spaced apart from each other; and an input sensor including a first electrode, which is disposed on the first region, a second electrode, which is disposed on the second region, a third electrode, which is disposed on the second region and is electrically disconnected from the second electrode, and a plurality of conductive patterns, which are disposed on the second region, wherein the conductive patterns comprise a first pattern, which is electrically connected to the first electrode, and a second pattern, which is electrically floated.

Claims (17)

1 . An electronic apparatus, comprising:

an electronic module;

a display panel divided into a first region overlapped with the electronic module and a second region adjacent to the first region, when viewed in a plan view, the display panel including a plurality of first emission parts, which are disposed in the first region and are spaced apart from each other, and a plurality of second emission parts, which are disposed in the second region and are spaced apart from each other; and

an input sensor including a plurality of first sensing electrodes comprising at least a first pattern, a second pattern, a third pattern and a fourth pattern, which are disposed on the first region, a plurality of second sensing electrodes, which are disposed on the second region, a plurality of conductive patterns, which are disposed on the second region, and a plurality of cut portions,

wherein the first pattern, the second pattern, the third pattern and the fourth pattern comprise a plurality of first mesh lines including a plurality of openings, which are overlapped with the first emission parts, respectively,

wherein the second sensing electrodes comprise a plurality of second mesh lines including a plurality of openings, which are overlapped with the second emission parts, respectively,

wherein the openings of the first mesh lines are larger than the openings of the second mesh lines,

wherein the cut portions are included in the second sensing electrodes,

wherein the cut portions are not included in the first pattern, the second pattern, the third pattern, and the fourth pattern.

2 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cut portions are formed by partially cutting the second mesh lines in the second sensing electrodes.

3 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of transmission parts which are disposed in the first region and are spaced apart from the first emission parts,

wherein the transmission parts have a higher transmittance than the first emission parts.

4 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of conductive patterns,

are in an electrically floated state, wherein the conductive patterns are not disposed on the first region.

5 . The electronic apparatus of claim 4 , further comprising a plurality of transmission parts, which are disposed in the first region and are spaced apart from the first emission parts, wherein the transmission parts have a higher transmittance than the first emission parts.

6 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of connecting portions which connect the two adjacent second sensing electrodes and are disposed on the second region, wherein the connecting portions are not disposed in the first region.

7 . The electronic apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising a plurality of transmission parts, which are disposed in the first region and are spaced apart from the first emission parts, wherein the transmission parts have a higher transmittance than the first emission parts.
