Abstract
Apparatuses and methods associated with an antenna formed on a transparent substrate are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an electronic device may include a substrate, wherein at least a first region of a plurality of regions of the substrate is transparent; and a plurality of layers formed on the substrate, the plurality of layers including: a first transparent layer formed over the first region; and a second metal layer formed over a second region of the plurality of regions of the substrate, wherein the second metal layer comprises an antenna.. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.
Claims25
An electronic device, comprising:
- a substrate, wherein at least a first region of a plurality of regions of the substrate is transparent;
- and
- a plurality of layers formed on the substrate, the plurality of layers including:
- a first transparent layer formed over the first region;
- and
- a second metal layer formed over a second region of the plurality of regions of the substrate, wherein the second metal layer comprises an antenna.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a touch panel display receive section including an active area and a routing area formed on a periphery of the active area and electrically coupled to said active area;
- and
- a touch panel display transmit section including an active area and a routing area formed on a periphery of the active area and electrically coupled to said active area;
- wherein at least one of the routing areas is electrically coupled to a wireless communication module of the electronic device and includes wiring arranged in one or more loops to operate as an antenna for the wireless communication module.
A method, comprising:
- providing a substrate, wherein at least a first region of a plurality of regions of the substrate is transparent;
- forming one or more transparent layers on the first region of the substrate;
- and
- forming a metal layer on a second region of the plurality of regions of the substrate or on the one or more transparent layers, over the second region.
A system, comprising:
- a touch panel display;
- and
- a processor to output data to be displayed on the touch panel display, to receive an input from the touch panel display;
- wherein the touch panel display includes:
- a touch panel display receive section including an active area and a routing area formed on a periphery of the active area and electrically coupled to said active area;
- and
- a touch panel display transmit section including an active area and a routing area formed on a periphery of the active area and electrically coupled to said active area;
- wherein at least one of the routing areas is electrically coupled to a wireless communication module and includes wiring arranged in one or more loops to operate as an antenna for the wireless communication module.
