Abstract

Claims (39)

1 . An electronic device comprising:

a display panel comprising a display area, and a non-display area adjacent to the display area; and

an input detection layer on the display panel, and comprising:

first electrodes arranged spaced apart along a first direction and extending in a second direction crossing the first direction; and

first trace lines electrically connected one-to-one to the first electrodes at ends of the first electrodes in the second direction, and comprising:

first mesh portions overlapping the display area and extending in the first direction along a boundary of the display area and the non-display area; and

line portions respectively extending from the first mesh portions in the second direction,

wherein the first mesh portions are between the first electrodes and the boundary of the display area and the non-display area in the second direction.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first electrodes, the first mesh portions, and the boundary are arranged sequentially along the second direction.

3 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first mesh portions are arranged spaced apart along the second direction.

4 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the input detection layer further comprises pads electrically connected one-to-one to the first trace lines, and

wherein the pads are arranged along the first direction.

5 . The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the pads overlap with the non-display area.

6 . The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the line portions extend from the boundary of the display area and the non-display area toward the pads.

7 . The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein shapes of the line portions are different from shapes of the first mesh portions.

8 . The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein a maximum width of each of the first mesh portions in the second direction is greater than a width of each of the line portions in the first direction.

9 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the display panel further comprises light-emitting areas in the display area, and

wherein some of the light-emitting areas are between one of the first mesh portions and another of the first mesh portions.

10 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first mesh portions comprise a first mesh line extending in a first diagonal direction, which is between the first direction and the second direction and a second mesh line extending from the first mesh line in a second diagonal direction intersecting the first diagonal direction.

11 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first electrodes extend along the second direction.

12 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the input detection layer further comprises second electrodes spaced apart along the second direction, and second trace lines electrically connected one-to-one to the second electrodes and comprising second mesh portions overlapping the display area and extending along the second direction.

13 . An electronic device comprising:

a display panel comprising a display area and a non-display area adjacent to the display area; and

an input detection layer on the display panel, and comprising:

first electrodes arranged spaced apart along a first direction;

first trace lines electrically connected one-to-one to the first electrodes, and comprising:

first mesh portions overlapping the display area and extending along the first direction; and

line portions respectively extending from the first mesh portions in a second direction crossing the first direction; and

pads electrically connected one-to-one to the first trace lines, arranged along the first direction.

14 . The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the first line portions extend from the first mesh portions toward the pads.

15 . The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein a maximum width of each of the first mesh portions in the second direction is greater than a width of each of the line portions in the first direction.

16 . An electronic device comprising:

a display panel comprising a display area and a non-display area adjacent to the display area; and

an input detection layer on the display panel, and comprising:

first electrodes arranged spaced apart along a first direction; and

first trace lines electrically connected one-to-one to the first electrodes, and comprising first mesh portions extending in the first direction and overlapping the display area and line portions extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction and overlapping the non-display area, a maximum width of each of the first mesh portions in the second direction being greater than a width of each of the line portions in the first direction.

17 . The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the input detection layer further comprises pads electrically connected one-to-one to the first trace lines and arranged along the first direction.

18 . The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the first mesh portions comprise a first mesh line extending in a first diagonal direction, which is between the first direction and the second direction, and a second mesh line extending from the first mesh line in a second diagonal direction intersecting the first diagonal direction.

19 . The electronic device of claim 18 , wherein a width of the first mesh line and the second mesh line is less than the width of the first mesh portions.
