Abstract

An electronic device including an electronic module, a sensing unit divided into a hole area overlapping the electronic module, an active area surrounding the hole area, and a peripheral area adjacent to the active area. A first sensing electrode and a second sensing electrode are disposed in the active area and insulated from each other. The first sensing electrode includes first main patterns, first neighboring patterns having a smaller area than the first main patterns, and a hole pattern connected to the adjacent first neighboring patterns. The second sensing electrode includes second main patterns, second neighboring patterns adjacent the hole area and having a smaller area than the second main patterns, second connection patterns connected to the second main patterns, and a routing pattern connected to the adjacent second neighboring patterns. The hole pattern is disposed in the hole area, and the routing pattern is disposed in the peripheral area.

Dependent claims

An electronic device comprising:

an electronic module;
and
a sensing unit detecting an external input, the sensing unit being divided into a hole area overlapping the electronic module, an active area surrounding the hole area, and a peripheral area adjacent to the active area and including a first sensing electrode and a second sensing electrode disposed in the active area and spaced apart from each other,
