Abstract
An electronic device includes: a display panel including a display region including pixels, and a non-display region adjacent to the display region; and an input sensor on the display panel. The input sensor includes: a first sensor layer to sense an external input using an electromagnetic induction method, and including first group electrodes; a second sensor layer to sense an external input using a capacitance method, and including second group electrodes insulated from the first group electrodes; a pad part including pads overlapping with the non-display region; first signal lines connected to the first group electrodes and the pads; and second signal lines connected to the second group electrodes and the pads. At least some of the first signal lines and the second signal lines overlap with the display region.

An electronic device comprising:
- a display panel including a display region comprising pixels, and a non-display region adjacent to the display region;
- and
- an input sensor on the display panel,
- wherein the input sensor comprises:
- first to fourth insulating layers sequentially stacked on the display panel;
- a first sensor layer configured to sense an external input using an electromagnetic induction method, and comprising first group electrodes, some of the first group electrodes being disposed on the second insulating layer and covered by the third insulating layer;
- a second sensor layer configured to sense an external input using a capacitance method, and comprising second group electrodes insulated from the first group electrodes, some of the second group electrodes being disposed on the third insulating layer and covered by the fourth insulating layer;
- a pad part including pads overlapping with the non-display region;
- first signal lines connected to the first group electrodes and the pads, and disposed on the first insulating layer and covered by the second insulating layer;
- and
- second signal lines connected to the second group electrodes and the pads, and disposed on the first insulating layer and covered by the second insulating layer,
- wherein at least some of the first signal lines and the second signal lines overlap with the display region, and
- wherein the first group electrodes are connected to the first signal lines through first contact holes defined in the second insulating layer, and the second group electrodes are connected to the second signal lines through second contact holes defined in the second and third insulating layers.
