[0004] Display devices can be used to transmit information to a user or between multiple users. Examples of display devices include smartphones, computers, televisions, and navigation units. A display device may include a display panel that provides visual information to the user, as well as various electronic modules such as antennas, cameras, or batteries.

[0005] With the increasing demand for thinner, lighter, and more convenient electronic devices, display devices can be reduced in size. The size of the electronic modules inside the electronic device can then be reduced accordingly. Additionally, the functionality and specifications of the electronic device, as well as the number of electronic modules or antenna modules within the device, can be increased.

[0006] In other words, electronic devices are becoming smaller and more functional. As a result, there is a need in the art for systems and methods that reduce the size of electronic modules while maintaining their effectiveness. Summary of the Invention

[0033] This disclosure generally relates to a display device. More specifically, this disclosure relates to a display device with improved antenna efficiency. In particular, embodiments of this disclosure provide pre-shielding around the antenna assembly to guide energy transmitted to / from the antenna and to protect the antenna from interference.

[0034] As mobile devices become smaller, the space available for electronic modules also decreases. Additionally, due to the more complex and powerful features these mobile devices offer, the number of electronic modules used within them increases to maintain acceptable performance levels. As electronic modules are further compressed within the device, noise from some components can interfere with the operation of the radio antenna.

[0035] Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure include a display panel, an active region, a peripheral region, an input sensor, and a pattern layer. The peripheral region is adjacent to the active region. The input sensor is disposed on the display panel and includes a first pattern and a plurality of detection electrodes. The pattern layer is disposed on the input sensor and includes a second pattern that overlaps with the first pattern when viewed in a plane. One of the first and second patterns transmits and receives signals. The other pattern includes a shielding component that shields or reflects signals provided from one pattern. A transmission component transmits signals.

[0036] The various additional embodiments of this disclosure use shielding components to shield or reflect signals from the antenna pattern. A transmission component can transmit the signal provided by the antenna pattern. Additional patterns can shield or reflect a portion of the signal and transmit another portion. Additional patterns can modify the signal provided from the antenna pattern. The modified signal can improve the antenna gain and directivity of the antenna signal of the display device. As a result, this disclosure provides a display device with improved antenna efficiency.

[0037] In this specification, when the present disclosure refers to a component (or region, layer, component, etc.) as being “on”, “connected to”, or “combined to” another component, it means that the component may be directly on, directly connected to, or directly combined to another component, or a third component may exist between the component and the other component.

[0038] The same reference numerals refer to the same elements. Additionally, in the drawings, for the purpose of effective illustration, the thickness, scale, and dimensions of components are exaggerated. "And / or" includes all of one or more combinations defined by the relevant components.

[0039] It will be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are used herein to describe various components, but these components should not be limited by these terms. The terms are used to distinguish one component from another. For example, a first component may be referred to as a second component without departing from the scope of the inventive concept, and vice versa. Unless otherwise specified, singular terms may include plural forms.

[0040] Additionally or alternatively, terms such as “below,” “lower,” “above,” and “upper” are used to describe the relationships of the configurations shown in the accompanying drawings. The terms are described as relative concepts based on the directions shown in the drawings.

[0041] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) shall have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. Generally, terms defined in dictionaries shall be considered to have the same meaning as in the context of the relevant art, and shall not be interpreted unreasonably or as having an overly formal meaning unless expressly defined herein.

[0042] In various embodiments of the present invention, the terms "include," "comprise," "including," or "comprising" specify attributes, areas, fixed numbers, steps, processes, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude other attributes, areas, fixed numbers, steps, processes, elements, and / or components.

[0043] In the following description, various embodiments of the inventive concept will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 The display device DD can be a device activated by an electrical signal. For example, the display device DD can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, car navigation system, game console, or wearable device, but is not limited to these. Figure 1 In the example shown, device DD is a mobile phone.

[0046] The display device DD can display an image IM through a display surface DD-IS. The display surface DD-IS may include an active region DD-AA and a peripheral region DD-NAA adjacent to the active region DD-AA. The peripheral region DD-NAA may be an area where the image IM is not displayed. The image IM may include still images and moving images. Figure 1 An icon image is shown as an example of an image IM. A second active region DD-AA2 extending from a first active region DD-AA1 can be defined within the active region DD-AA. A portion of the first active region DD-AA1 can be defined within one of the curved regions of the active region DD-AA. The second active region DD-AA2 can be defined within the remaining regions of the curved regions of the active region DD-AA. However, this is exemplary, and the first active region DD-AA1 and the second active region DD-AA2 according to embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. For example, the curved region of the active region DD-AA can be defined as the second active region DD-AA2.

[0047] The first active region DD-AA1 may be parallel to the surface defined by the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2 intersecting the first direction DR1. The normal direction of the first active region DD-AA1, such as the thickness direction of the display device DD, may be indicated by a third direction DR3.

[0048] In each of the components or elements described below, the front and rear surfaces can be distinguished by a third direction DR3. The front surface can be considered as the upper surface and the rear surface can be considered as the lower surface. The third direction DR3 can be a direction that intersects with the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2. For example, the first direction DR1, the second direction DR2, and the third direction DR3 can be orthogonal to each other. Additionally or alternatively, the surface defined by the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2 is defined as a plane, and "viewing in a plane" can be defined as viewing in the third direction DR3.

[0049] The second active region DD-AA2 can be provided to extend from one side of the first active region DD-AA1. Multiple second active regions DD-AA2 can be provided. In this case, the second active region DD-AA2 can be provided to extend from at least two sides of the first active region DD-AA1. The active region DD-AA can include one first active region DD-AA1 and one or more, and four or fewer, second active regions DD-AA2. However, this is exemplary and the active region DD-AA according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0050] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 The display device DD may include a display panel DP, an input sensor IS, a pattern layer PP, and a window WP.

[0052] The display panel DP can be configured to generate an image IM (see...). Figure 1 The display panel DP can be a light-emitting display panel and is not specifically limited thereto. For example, the display panel DP can be an organic light-emitting display panel or a quantum dot light-emitting display panel. In an organic light-emitting display panel, the light-emitting layer may include organic light-emitting materials. The light-emitting layer of a quantum dot light-emitting display panel may include quantum dots and quantum rods. Hereinafter, the display panel DP is described as an organic light-emitting display panel.

[0053] The input sensor IS can be disposed on the display panel DP. When viewed in a flat surface, the input sensor IS can overlap with the active area DD-AA. The input sensor IS can be formed on the display panel DP via a continuous process. Alternatively, one or more input sensors IS can be coupled to the display panel DP via an adhesive component. The adhesive component can include conventional adhesives, etc. For example, the adhesive component can be a transparent adhesive component such as a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) film, an optically clear adhesive (OCA) film, or an optically clear resin (OCR).

[0054] The input sensor IS may include an input detection unit ISL and a first pattern PT1. The input detection unit ISL can detect external input applied from the outside. The external input may be user input. User input may include various types of external input, such as a part of the user's body, light, heat, a pen, or pressure. The input sensor IS may include a pressure sensor, a resistive sensor, an acoustic sensor, a capacitive sensor, an infrared grid, an optical sensor, a piezoelectric sensor, or another suitable touch sensor. When viewed on a plane, the input detection unit ISL may overlap with the first active area DD-AA1.

[0055] When viewed on a flat surface, the first pattern PT1 can overlap with the second active region DD-AA2. This is even if the size of the display device DD is reduced or thinned, or if the peripheral region DD-NAA (see...)... Figure 1 Since the area of ​​the active region DD-AA is ensured, the space for the first pattern PT1 to be arranged can be ensured.

[0056] A pattern layer PP can be disposed on the input sensor IS. The pattern layer PP may include a second pattern PT2. When viewed in a plane, the second pattern PT2 may overlap with the second active region DD-AA2. When viewed in a plane, the second pattern PT2 may overlap with the first pattern PT1.

[0057] One of the first pattern PT1 and the second pattern PT2 can be configured to transmit, receive, or transmit radio communication signals, such as radio frequency signals. For example, one of the patterns PT1 and PT2 may include multiple antenna patterns. The multiple antenna patterns can transmit, receive, or transmit in the same frequency band, or they can transmit, receive, or transmit in different frequency bands. The other pattern can modify the signal radiated from the antenna pattern. In some embodiments, the first pattern PT1 and the second pattern PT2 may be referred to as a radio frequency device.

[0058] The window WP can be disposed on the pattern layer PP. The window WP can include an optically transparent insulating material. For example, the window WP can include glass or plastic. The window WP can have a multilayer structure or a single-layer structure. For example, the window WP can include multiple plastic films bonded together with adhesive, or it can include a glass substrate and a plastic film bonded together with adhesive.

[0059] Figure 3 This is a plan view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] Reference Figure 3 The active area DP-AA and the peripheral area DP-NAA can be defined within the display panel DP. The active area DP-AA can be an area that is activated according to an electrical signal. For example, the active area DP-AA can be the area displaying the image IM (see...). Figure 1 The peripheral area DP-NAA can surround the active area DP-AA. The driving circuitry or driving lines for driving the active area DP-AA can be located within the peripheral area DP-NAA. The active area DP-AA can be connected to the display device DD (see...). Figure 1 The active region DD-AA (see) Figure 1 The peripheral area DP-NAA can be the area corresponding to the display device DD (see...). Figure 1 The outer region of DD-NAA (see) Figure 1 The corresponding area.

[0061] The display panel (DP) may include a substrate layer (BS1), multiple pixels (PX), multiple signal lines (DL, GL, and PL), a power pattern (VDD), and multiple display pads (PDD).

[0062] The substrate BS1 may include a synthetic resin film. The synthetic resin film may include a thermosetting resin. The substrate BS1 may have a multilayer structure. For example, the substrate BS1 may have a three-layer structure comprising a synthetic resin layer, an adhesive layer, and a synthetic resin layer. The synthetic resin layer may include at least one of polyimide resin, acrylic resin, methacrylic resin, polyisoprene, vinyl resin, epoxy resin, polyurethane resin, cellulose resin, siloxane resin, polyamide resin, and naphthalene-containing resin, but is not specifically limited thereto. Alternatively, the substrate BS1 may include a glass substrate or an organic / inorganic composite substrate.

[0063] Multiple signal lines DL, GL, and PL can be electrically connected to multiple pixels PX to transmit electrical signals to multiple pixels PX. Figure 3The example illustrates multiple signal lines DL, GL, and PL, including a data line DL, a scan line GL, and a power line PL. However, this is just an example. Therefore, the multiple signal lines DL, GL, and PL according to embodiments of the present invention may further include at least one of an initialization voltage line and an optical emission control line, and are not limited to any one embodiment.

[0064] Multiple pixels (PXs) can be disposed in the active region DP-AA. In this embodiment, the equivalent circuit diagram of one pixel (PX) is enlarged and shown. Pixel (PX) may include a first transistor TR1, a second transistor TR2, a capacitor CAP, a light-emitting element OLED, and a power supply terminal ELVSS.

[0065] The first transistor TR1 can be a switching element used to control the on / off state of pixel PX. The first transistor TR1 can transmit or block data signals transmitted via data line DL in response to scan signals transmitted via scan line GL.

[0066] Capacitor CAP can be connected to the first transistor TR1 and the power supply line PL. Capacitor CAP can be charged with an amount of charge corresponding to the difference between the data signal transmitted from the first transistor TR1 and the first power supply signal applied to the power supply line PL.

[0067] The second transistor TR2 can be connected to the first transistor TR1, the capacitor CAP, and the light-emitting element OLED. The second transistor TR2 can control the driving current flowing through the light-emitting element OLED in response to the amount of charge stored in the capacitor CAP. The on-time of the second transistor TR2 can be determined based on the amount of charge being charged in the capacitor CAP. The second transistor TR2 can provide a first power signal transmitted through the power line PL to the light-emitting element OLED during the on-time.

[0068] OLEDs can generate light or control the amount of light based on electrical signals. For example, OLEDs can include organic light-emitting elements or quantum dot light-emitting elements.

[0069] The light-emitting element (OLED) is connected to the power terminal ELVSS and receives a second power signal different from the first power signal provided by the power line PL. A drive current corresponding to the difference between the electrical signal provided from the second transistor TR2 and the second power signal can flow in the OLED, and the OLED can generate light corresponding to the drive current. This is illustrated by way of example, and the pixel PX can include electronic components with various configurations and arrangements, and is not limited to any one embodiment.

[0070] The power pattern VDD can be set in the peripheral area DP-NAA. The power pattern VDD can be electrically connected to multiple power lines PL. The display panel DP can provide a first power signal with substantially the same level to multiple pixels PX by including the power pattern VDD.

[0071] Multiple display pads (PDDs) may include first pads D1 and second pads D2. Multiple first pads D1 may be provided and connected to data lines DL. Second pads D2 may be connected to power pattern VDD and electrically connected to power line PL. The display panel DP can provide externally supplied electrical signals to multiple pixels PX through the multiple display pads (PDDs). Furthermore, the multiple display pads (PDDs) may further include pads for receiving electrical signals in addition to the first pads D1 and second pads D2, and are not limited to any particular embodiment.

[0072] Figure 4 This is a plan view of an input sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0073] Reference Figure 4 The active region IS-AA and the peripheral region IS-NAA can be defined within the input sensor IS. The active region IS-AA can be a region activated according to an electrical signal. For example, the active region IS-AA can be a region for detecting input. The active region IS-AA can be associated with the display device DD (see...). Figure 1 The active area DD-AA corresponds to the active area IS-AA. When viewed on a flat surface, the active area IS-AA can be compared with the display panel DP (see...). Figure 3 The active region DP-AA (see) Figure 3 )overlapping.

[0074] The active region IS-AA may include a first active region IS-AA1 and a second active region IS-AA2. The first active region IS-AA1 may be associated with the display device DD (see...). Figure 1 The first active region DD-AA1 (see) Figure 1 The second active region IS-AA2 can be the area corresponding to the display device DD (see...). Figure 1 The second active region DD-AA2 (see) Figure 1 The corresponding area.

[0075] The peripheral area IS-NAA can surround the active area IS-AA. The peripheral area IS-NAA can be connected to the display device DD (see...). Figure 1 The outer region of DD-NAA (see) Figure 1 The corresponding area. When viewed on a flat surface, the peripheral area IS-NAA can overlap with the peripheral area DP-NAA of the display panel DP (see...). Figure 3 ).

[0076] The input sensor IS may include a substrate insulating layer BS2, an input detection unit ISL, multiple antenna patterns ANT, multiple antenna lines ANL, and multiple antenna pads ANP. The substrate insulating layer BS2 may be an inorganic layer including any one of silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, and silicon oxide. Alternatively, the substrate insulating layer BS2 may be an organic layer including epoxy resin, acrylic resin, or imide-based resin. The substrate insulating layer BS2 may be directly formed on the display panel DP (see...). Figure 2 Alternatively, the substrate insulating layer BS2 can be the display panel DP (see...). Figure 2 A component of ). Additionally or alternatively, the substrate insulating layer BS2 is formed on a separate substrate layer, and the substrate layer can be coupled to the display panel DP (see) via an adhesive component. Figure 2 ).

[0077] The input detection unit ISL may include multiple first detection electrodes TE1, multiple second detection electrodes TE2, multiple detection lines TL1 and TL2, and multiple detection pads PDT. The multiple first detection electrodes TE1 and multiple second detection electrodes TE2 may be disposed in a first active region IS-AA1. The multiple detection lines TL1 and TL2 and the multiple detection pads PDT may be disposed in a peripheral region IS-NAA.

[0078] The input detection unit ISL can obtain information about the external input from the changes in capacitance between multiple first detection electrodes TE1 and multiple second detection electrodes TE2.

[0079] Multiple first detection electrodes TE1 can be disposed on the substrate insulating layer BS2. Each of the multiple first detection electrodes TE1 can extend along a first direction DR1 and can be arranged along a second direction DR2. Each of the multiple first detection electrodes TE1 can include multiple first detection patterns SP1 and multiple first connection patterns BP1. Each of the multiple first connection patterns BP1 can electrically connect two adjacent first detection patterns SP1.

[0080] Multiple second detection electrodes TE2 can be disposed on the substrate insulating layer BS2. Each of the multiple second detection electrodes TE2 can extend along the second direction DR2 and can be arranged along the first direction DR1. Each of the multiple second detection electrodes TE2 may include multiple second detection patterns SP2 and multiple second connection patterns BP2. Each of the multiple second connection patterns BP2 can electrically connect two adjacent second detection patterns SP2.

[0081] Multiple detection lines TL1 and TL2 may include multiple first detection lines TL1 and multiple second detection lines TL2. The multiple first detection lines TL1 can be electrically connected to multiple first detection electrodes TE1, respectively. The multiple second detection lines TL2 can be electrically connected to multiple second detection electrodes TE2, respectively.

[0082] A multi-detection pad PDT can include multiple first detection pads TD1 and multiple second detection pads TD2. The multiple first detection pads TD1 can be connected to multiple first detection lines TL1 respectively. The multiple second detection pads TD2 can be connected to multiple second detection lines TL2 respectively.

[0083] Multiple antenna patterns (ANTs) can be set in the second active region IS-AA2, and multiple antenna pads (ANPs) can be set in the peripheral region IS-NAA. Multiple antenna lines (ANLs) can electrically connect the multiple antenna patterns (ANTs) and the multiple antenna pads (ANPs). The first pattern PT1 (see...) Figure 2 () can be multiple antenna patterns ANT.

[0084] Multiple antenna patterns ANT can be disposed on the same layer as multiple detection electrodes TE1 and TE2. For example, multiple antenna patterns ANT can be disposed on the substrate insulating layer BS2.

[0085] Multiple antenna patterns ANT can comprise the same material as the multiple detection electrodes TE1 and TE2. The multiple antenna patterns ANT can be formed using the same process as the multiple detection electrodes TE1 and TE2. For example, the multiple detection electrodes TE1 and TE2 and the multiple antenna patterns ANT can comprise carbon nanotubes, metals and / or metal alloys, or composites thereof, and can have a single-layer or multi-layer structure. However, this is just an example.

[0086] Therefore, the multiple antenna patterns ANT according to embodiments of the present invention may include materials different from the multiple detection electrodes TE1 and TE2, and may be formed by separate processes. For example, the multiple detection electrodes TE1 and TE2 may have a multilayer structure in which titanium (Ti), aluminum (Al), and titanium (Ti) are sequentially stacked, and the multiple antenna patterns ANT may include carbon nanotubes, metals and / or metal alloys or composites thereof, and may have a single-layer structure or a multilayer structure. For example, the metal material may be silver (Ag), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), gold (Au), or platinum (Pt), but is not limited thereto.

[0087] When viewed on a flat surface, multiple antenna patterns (ANT) can be displayed on a DP panel (see [link]). Figure 3 The active region DP-AA (see) Figure 3() overlap. Multiple antenna patterns ANT can have a grid structure, making DP-AA (see) overlap possible in the active region. Figure 3 The image provided in IM (see) Figure 1 It can be transmitted. The mesh structure can mean a structure in which multiple openings are confined within a given layer. Multiple antenna patterns ANT can be modified in various shapes within the second active region IS-AA2, and the design freedom of multiple antenna patterns ANT can be increased.

[0088] The multiple antenna lines (ANLs) comprise the same material as the multiple antenna patterns (ANTs) and can be formed using the same process as the multiple antenna patterns (ANTs). The multiple antenna lines (ANLs) can extend individually from the multiple antenna patterns (ANTs) towards the peripheral area IS-NAA.

[0089] Multiple antenna pads (ANP) can be electrically connected to multiple antenna lines (ANL).

[0090] The input sensor IS may further include at least one ground electrode disposed beneath the substrate insulating layer BS2. However, this is exemplary, and the ground electrode according to embodiments of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the ground electrode according to embodiments of the present invention may be a display panel DP (see...) Figure 3 It is part of the configuration.

[0091] Figure 5 This is an embodiment of the concept of the present invention. Figure 4 A magnified plan view of region AA′.

[0092] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The input sensor IS can further include a virtual pattern DMP.

[0093] The first active region IS-AA1, the second active region IS-AA2, and the peripheral region IS-NAA can be defined in the input sensor IS. Multiple first detection electrodes TE1 and multiple second detection electrodes TE2 are disposed in the first active region IS-AA1. The second active region IS-AA2 includes an antenna region ANA with one of multiple antenna patterns ANT and a virtual region DMA with a virtual pattern DMP. Multiple antenna lines ANL are disposed in the peripheral region IS-NAA.

[0094] A virtual pattern DMP can be set in a virtual region DMA between the first active region IS-AA1 and the antenna region ANA. Because of the virtual pattern DMP, the difference in reflectivity between the portion where the antenna pattern ANT is set and the portion where the antenna pattern ANT is not set can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the antenna pattern ANT from being viewed from the outside. Additionally or alternatively, when the virtual pattern DMP is not set, each of the reflectivity and transmittance of the virtual region DMA can be different from each of the reflectivity and transmittance of the first active region IS-AA1 and the antenna region ANA. However, because of the virtual pattern DMP, the difference between reflectivity and the difference between transmittance can be reduced. As a result, phenomena such as the boundary between the antenna pattern ANT and the second detection pattern SP2 or the boundary between the antenna pattern ANT and the second connection pattern BP2 being observed can be prevented.

[0095] The antenna pattern ANT may have a first width ANT-L in the first direction DR1.
