An electronic device includes a base member having a touch area defined inside a first closed-shape, the first closed-shape being a first imaginary line, and a peripheral area disposed adjacent to the touch area and defined outside the first closed-shape, and a touch sensor including a plurality of patterns disposed in the touch area to sense a touch from outside and a driving line disposed in the peripheral area and connected to a pattern disposed adjacent to the first closed-shape. The touch area includes a first area defined inside a second closed-shape being a second imaginary line defined in the touch area, and a second area defined outside the second closed-shape and surrounded by the first closed-shape, and an edge pattern disposed in the second area having an area substantially equal to or greater than approximately one-half of an area of a center pattern disposed in the first area.

This application claims priority from and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2016-0116782, filed on Sep. 9, 2016, which is hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.
The invention relates generally to an electronic device, and, more particularly, to an electronic device having a touch screen display with improved touch sensitivity.
An electronic device includes an active area activated by an electrical signal. The electronic device senses a touch from the outside by a user and substantially simultaneously displays various images to the user.
The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the inventive concepts, and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate exemplary embodiments of the inventive concepts, and, together with the description, serve to explain principles of the inventive concepts.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an exemplary electronic device constructed according to the principles of the invention in a state of use;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the electronic device shown in FIG. 1 illustrating an exemplary touch sensing unit;
In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of various exemplary embodiments. It is apparent, however, that various exemplary embodiments may be practiced without these specific details or with one or more equivalent arrangements. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring various exemplary embodiments.
In the accompanying figures, the size and relative sizes of layers, films, panels, regions, etc., may be exaggerated for clarity and descriptive purposes. Also, like reference numerals denote like elements.
When an element or layer is referred to as being “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” another element or layer, it may be directly on, connected to, or coupled to the other element or layer or intervening elements or layers may be present. When, however, an element or layer is referred to as being “directly on,” “directly connected to,” or “directly coupled to” another element or layer, there are no intervening elements or layers present. For the purposes of this disclosure, “at least one of X, Y, and Z” and “at least one selected from the group consisting of X, Y, and Z” may be construed as X only, Y only, Z only, or any combination of two or more of X, Y, and Z, such as, for instance, XYZ, XYY, YZ, and ZZ. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
