Abstract
An electronic device is provided, which includes a substrate, a protruding pattern, a first conductive pattern, an insulating layer, and a second conductive pattern. The protruding pattern is disposed on the substrate. The first conductive pattern is disposed on the substrate and covers the protruding pattern. The insulating layer is disposed on the first conductive pattern. The insulating layer includes an opening overlapping at least a portion of the protruding pattern. The second conductive pattern is disposed on the insulating layer. The second conductive pattern is connected to the first conductive pattern through the opening.
Claims19
An electronic device comprising:
- a pixel array comprising a substrate, a display layer disposed on the substrate, and an encapsulation layer disposed on the display layer, the encapsulation layer comprising an organic layer and an inorganic layer;
- a touch array directly disposed on the encapsulation layer, the touch array comprising:
- sensing patterns configured to detect a touch provided from an outside;
- a wiring electrically connected to the sensing patterns and comprising a first conductive pattern and a second conductive pattern disposed on the first conductive pattern;
- and
- a touch insulating layer disposed between the first conductive pattern and the second conductive pattern;
- and
- a protruding pattern disposed between the substrate and the first conductive pattern,
- wherein:
- the touch insulating layer comprises an opening defined in an area overlapping at least a portion of the protruding pattern;
- the second conductive pattern contacts the first conductive pattern through the opening;
- a predetermined area for sensing an external touch and a peripheral area surrounding the predetermined area are defined in the touch array;
- the sensing patterns are disposed in the predetermined area;
- and
- the wiring is disposed in the peripheral area.
An electronic device comprising:
- a display array comprising a substrate, a display layer disposed on the substrate, and an encapsulation layer disposed on the display layer;
- a first protruding pattern disposed on the substrate;
- a sensing pattern disposed on the display array and spaced apart from the first protruding pattern;
- a first conductive pattern electrically connected to the sensing pattern, a portion of the first conductive pattern overlapping the first protruding pattern;
- a touch insulating layer covering the first conductive pattern and in which an opening overlapping at least a portion of the first protruding pattern is defined;
- and
- a second conductive pattern disposed on the touch insulating layer and contacted to the first conductive pattern through the opening.
