Abstract
An electronic apparatus includes a display panel including a front surface and a rear surface opposite to the front surface. A lower panel includes a plurality of sheets stacked on the rear surface of the display panel and an opening penetrating the sheets. The opening exposes a portion of a rear surface of a first sheet that has a front surface opposite to the exposed portion of the rear surface that contacts the display panel. A fingerprint sensing unit includes a fingerprint sensor positioned in the opening and a sensing circuit board connected to the fingerprint sensor. The exposed portion of the rear surface of the first sheet contacts a portion of the sensing circuit board.
Claims21
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a display panel including a front surface and a rear surface opposite to the front surface;
- a lower panel including a plurality of sheets stacked on the rear surface of the display panel and an opening penetrating the sheets, wherein the opening exposes a portion of a rear surface of a first sheet that has a front surface opposite to the exposed portion of the rear surface that contacts the display panel;
- and
- a fingerprint sensing unit including a fingerprint sensor positioned in the opening and a sensing circuit board connected to the fingerprint sensor,
- wherein the exposed portion of the rear surface of the first sheet contacts a portion of the sensing circuit board.
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a display panel including a front surface and a rear surface opposite to the front surface;
- a fingerprint sensing unit including a fingerprint sensor disposed on the rear surface of the display panel and a sensing circuit hoard connected to the fingerprint sensor;
- and
- a lower panel disposed on the rear surface of the display panel and including an exposed area overlapping with the sensing circuit board, wherein the fingerprint sensor is positioned within an opening in the lower panel,
- wherein a thickness of the lower panel in the exposed area is equal to or less than a thickness of the fingerprint sensing unit.
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a display panel including a front surface and a rear surface opposite to the front surface;
- a lower panel includes a plurality of sheets stacked on the rear surface of the display pane, the plurality of sheets including a first sheet having a first opening, a second sheet having a second opening and a third sheet having a third opening, wherein the first opening, the second opening and the third opening form a main opening;
- a fingerprint sensing unit including a fingerprint sensor positioned in the main opening and a sensing circuit board connected to the fingerprint sensor,
- wherein the first opening and the second opening have a smaller area than the third opening and the third opening exposes a portion of a rear surface of the second sheet;
- and
- the sensing circuit board is coupled to the exposed portion of the rear surface of the second sheet.
