Abstract
Provided is an electronic device. The electronic device includes a base layer including a sensing area and a surrounding area configured to surround the sensing area, a plurality of sensor patterns disposed on the sensing area, and connection patterns connecting the plurality of sensor patterns to each other. A boundary between the sensing area and the surrounding area comprises a curved boundary, and the connection pattern, which is disposed adjacent to the curved boundary, of the connection patterns is disposed to be spaced a predetermined distance or more from the curved boundary.
