Abstract
A display device includes a substrate including an opening area and a display area at least partially surrounding the opening area; and a metal layer including a first region and a second region adjacent to a non-display area between the opening area and the display area, the first region and the second region are spaced apart from each other, and one of the first region and the second region includes a protrusion extending toward the other of the first region and the second region, and the other of the first region and the second region has a shape to receive the protrusion.
Claims22
A display apparatus comprising:
- a substrate comprising an opening area and a display area at least partially surrounding the opening area;
- a first sensing electrode in the display area adjacent to the opening area;
- a second sensing electrode in the display area adjacent to the opening area and facing the first sensing electrode in a first direction;
- a connection electrode in a non-display area between the opening area and the display area and electrically connected to the first sensing electrode and the second sensing electrode;
- and
- a metal layer in the non-display area and connected to the connection electrode.
A display apparatus comprising:
- a substrate comprising an opening area and a display area at least partially surrounding the opening area;
