Abstract
A display apparatus includes a display panel, a touch sensor, an adhesive layer, a first flexible printed circuit board, and a second flexible printed circuit board. The touch sensor is disposed on the display panel. The adhesive layer is disposed between the display panel and the touch sensor. The first flexible printed circuit board and the second flexible printed circuit board are disposed between the display panel and the touch sensor. The first flexible printed circuit board is connected to the display panel, and the second flexible printed circuit board is connected to the touch sensor. The adhesive layer overlaps with the first flexible printed circuit board and is in contact with the first flexible printed circuit board and the touch sensor.
Claims21
A display apparatus comprising:
- a display panel to display an image;
- a touch sensor disposed on the display panel;
- an adhesive layer disposed between the display panel and the touch sensor;
- a first flexible printed circuit board disposed between the display panel and the touch sensor and connected to the display panel;
- and
- a second flexible printed circuit board disposed between the display panel and the touch sensor and connected to the touch sensor,
- wherein the adhesive layer overlaps with the first flexible printed circuit board and is in contact with the first flexible printed circuit board and the touch sensor.
A display apparatus comprising:
- a display panel that includes a touch screen surface to display an image and is foldable on a folding axis such that the touch screen surface faces outward;
- a touch sensing unit disposed on the display panel including a base layer, touch patterns disposed under the base layer, and a touch insulating layer disposed under the touch patterns to cover the touch patterns, wherein the base layer is further away from the display panel than the touch insulating layer;
- an adhesive layer disposed between the display panel and the touch sensing unit;
- and
- a first flexible printed circuit board disposed between the display panel and the touch sensing unit and connected to the display panel, and
- wherein the adhesive layer overlaps with the first flexible printed circuit board and is in contact with the first flexible printed circuit board and the touch insulating layer.
A display apparatus comprising:
- a display panel configured to display an image;
- a touch sensor disposed on the display panel;
- an adhesive layer disposed between the display panel and the touch sensor;
- and
- a first flexible printed circuit board disposed between the display panel and the touch sensor and connected to the display panel,
- wherein the adhesive layer is in contact with a top surface and a side surface of the first flexible printed circuit board.
A display apparatus comprising:
- a foldable display panel to display an image;
- a touch sensing unit disposed on the display panel including touch patterns and a touch insulating layer covering the touch patterns;
- an adhesive layer disposed between the display panel and the touch sensing unit;
- and
- at least one flexible printed circuit board having a corner and being disposed between the display panel and the touch sensing unit, and connected for rotation with the display panel, and
- wherein the adhesive layer protects the corner of the at least one flexible printed circuit board from contacting the touch insulation layer upon rotation of the display panel during folding of the display panel.
