Abstract
An electronic device including an input sensing unit configured to sense an external input. The input sensing unit includes first electrodes including first patterns including normal patterns and notch patterns and first connection patterns connecting the first patterns, a second electrode, a first trace line connected to one of the normal patterns, and a connection trace line connected to at least two of the notch patterns.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a base member comprising a sensing area and a non-sensing area adjacent to the sensing area;
- and
- an input sensing unit disposed on the base member,
- wherein:
- the input sensing unit comprises:
- first electrodes comprising:
- first patterns comprising normal patterns disposed in the sensing area and notch patterns having an area smaller than an area of the normal patterns;
- first connection patterns connecting the first patterns;
- a connection portion connected to the notch pattern and protruding toward the non-sensing area to overlap with the non-sensing area in a plan view;
- a second electrode comprising:
- sensor patterns spaced apart from the first patterns in a plan view;
- and
- second connection patterns connecting the sensor patterns;
- a first trace line disposed in the non-sensing area and connected to one of the normal patterns;
- a second trace line disposed in the non-sensing area and connected to one of the sensor patterns;
- a connection trace line connected to at least two of the notch patterns;
- and
- a plurality of guard lines disposed on the same layer as the connection trace line and electrically insulated from the connection trace line and disposed on a different layer from the connection bridges.
