Abstract
A display device includes a display panel and a lower member disposed under the display panel. The lower member includes a support layer, a digitizer, a flexible circuit board, and a metal layer. The digitizer is disposed under the support layer having an insulating property. The flexible circuit board is connected to the digitizer. The metal layer is disposed under the digitizer, and an opening is defined through the metal layer to correspond to the flexible circuit board.
Claims22
A display device comprising:
- a display panel comprising a first non-folding area, a second non-folding area, and a folding area disposed between the first non-folding area and the second non-folding area;
- and
- a lower member disposed under the display panel,
- wherein the lower member comprises:
- a support layer overlapping the first non-folding area and the second non-folding area and having an insulating property;
- a first digitizer disposed under the support layer, comprising a loop coil, and overlapping the first non-folding area;
- a second digitizer disposed under the support layer, comprising a loop coil, and overlapping the second non-folding area;
- a first flexible circuit board electrically connected to the first digitizer and disposed under the first digitizer;
- a second flexible circuit board electrically connected to the second digitizer and disposed under the second digitizer;
- a first metal layer disposed under the first digitizer, wherein a first opening is defined through the first metal layer to correspond to the first flexible circuit board;
- and
- a second metal layer disposed under the second digitizer, wherein a second opening is defined through the second metal layer to correspond to the second flexible circuit board.
