An electronic device having a touch sensor, the electronic device comprising:
- a display panel including an active area and an encapsulating substrate covering the active area;
- a plurality of recesses in a surface of the encapsulating substrate;
- and
- a touchscreen including:
- a lower metal layer disposed in the plurality of recesses, and
- a touch electrode layer electrically connected to a part of the lower metal layer and including touch driving electrodes and touch sensing electrodes separately arranged on the encapsulating substrate,
- wherein each of the plurality of recesses in the encapsulating substrate overlaps with a corresponding portion of a bank layer defining a plurality of sub-pixels,
- wherein a center of one of the plurality of recesses overlaps with a center of a corresponding portion of the bank layer, and
- wherein the plurality of recesses, the lower metal layer and the bank layer are configured to prevent interference between adjacent sub-pixels among the plurality of sub-pixels and funnel light out of the electronic device.
A display device comprising:
- a display panel;
- an encapsulating substrate covering an active area of the display panel;
