[0064] Figure 1 This is a perspective view illustrating an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0065] Reference Figure 1 The electronic device 1000 can be a device activated in response to an electrical signal. For example, the electronic device 1000 can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, car navigation unit, gaming unit, or wearable device. However, the electronic device 1000 is not limited to these. (See also...) Figure 1 The mobile phone will be described as a representative example of electronic device 1000.

[0066] Electronic device 1000 displays an image through an effective area 1000A. The effective area 1000A may include a plane defined by a first direction DR1 and a second direction DR2. The effective area 1000A may also include curved surfaces that bend from at least two sides of the plane. However, the shape of the effective area 1000A is not limited thereto. For example, according to an exemplary embodiment, the effective area 1000A may consist only of a plane, or the effective area 1000A may further include two or more curved surfaces, for example, four curved surfaces that bend from each of the four sides of the plane.

[0067] The thickness direction of the electronic device 1000 may correspond to a third direction DR3 that intersects the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2. Therefore, the front (or upper) surface and the rear (or lower) surface of each component of the electronic device 1000 may be defined relative to the third direction DR3.

[0068] Figure 2A This is a cross-sectional view showing an electronic device 1000 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0069] Reference Figure 2A The electronic device 1000 may include a display layer 100 and a sensor layer 200.

[0070] Display layer 100 may be configured to substantially display an image. Display layer 100 may be a light-emitting display layer. For example, display layer 100 may be an organic light-emitting display layer, a quantum dot light-emitting display layer, or a micro LED display layer. However, display layer 100 is not limited to these.

[0071] The display layer 100 may include a base layer 110, a circuit layer 120, a light-emitting element layer 130, and an encapsulation layer 140.

[0072] The base layer 110 may be a component that provides a base surface on which the circuit layer 120 is disposed. The base layer 110 may be, for example, a glass substrate, a metal substrate, or a polymer substrate. However, the base layer 110 is not limited to these. For example, according to an exemplary embodiment, the base layer 110 may be an inorganic layer, an organic layer, or a composite material layer.

[0073] The base layer 110 may have a multilayer structure. For example, the base layer 110 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 a polyimide-based resin. Furthermore, the synthetic resin layer may include at least one of, for example, acrylic-based resins, methacrylate-based resins, polyisoprene-based resins, vinyl resins, epoxy-based resins, urethane-based resins, cellulose-based resins, siloxane-based resins, polyamide-based resins, and dinaphthalene-based phenyl resins. In this disclosure, the term "X-based resin" refers to a resin comprising a functional group including X.

[0074] Circuit layer 120 may be disposed on base layer 110. Circuit layer 120 may include, for example, an insulating layer, semiconductor patterns, conductive patterns, and signal lines. The insulating layer, semiconductor layer, and conductive layer may be formed on base layer 110 by, for example, coating or deposition processes. Then, the insulating layer, semiconductor layer, and conductive layer may be selectively patterned by various photolithography processes. Semiconductor patterns, conductive patterns, and signal lines may be formed in circuit layer 120.

[0075] The light-emitting element layer 130 may be disposed on the circuit layer 120. The light-emitting element layer 130 may include a light-emitting element. For example, the light-emitting element layer 130 may include organic light-emitting materials, quantum dots, quantum rods, or micro LEDs.

[0076] The encapsulation layer 140 may be disposed on the light-emitting element layer 130. The encapsulation layer 140 may include, for example, inorganic layers, organic layers, and inorganic layers stacked sequentially. However, the layers of the encapsulation layer 140 are not limited to these.

[0077] The inorganic layer can protect the light-emitting element layer 130 from, for example, moisture and oxygen, while the organic layer can protect the light-emitting element layer 130 from foreign matter, such as dust particles. The inorganic layer may include, for example, a silicon nitride layer, a silicon oxynitride layer, a silicon oxide layer, a titanium oxide layer, or an aluminum oxide layer. The organic layer may include, for example, an acrylic-based organic layer. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0078] Sensor layer 200 may be disposed on display layer 100. Sensor layer 200 can sense external input applied to it from an external source. For example, external input may be user input. User input may include various external inputs, such as a part of the user's body, light, heat, pen, or pressure.

[0079] The sensor layer 200 can be formed on the display layer 100 through a continuous process. In this case, the sensor layer 200 can be described as being directly disposed on the display layer 100. In this disclosure, the statement "the sensor layer 200 is directly disposed on the display layer 100" means that there are no intermediate elements between the sensor layer 200 and the display layer 100. That is, in this case, according to the exemplary embodiment, no separate adhesive component is disposed between the sensor layer 200 and the display layer 100.

[0080] Alternatively, in an exemplary embodiment, the sensor layer 200 may be bonded to the display layer 100 via an adhesive component. The adhesive component may include a common adhesive.

[0081] Figure 2B This is a cross-sectional view showing an electronic device 1000-1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0082] Reference Figure 2B In an exemplary embodiment, the electronic device 1000-1 may further include an anti-reflective layer 300.

[0083] For ease of explanation, further descriptions of the components and technical aspects have been omitted to some extent, and it can be assumed that these components and technical aspects are at least similar to the corresponding components and technical aspects that have been described elsewhere in this disclosure.

[0084] The anti-reflective layer 300 can reduce the reflectivity of external light incident on the electronic device 1000-1 from an external source.

[0085] The anti-reflective layer 300 may be disposed on the sensor layer 200. However, the location of the anti-reflective layer 300 is not limited thereto. For example, in an exemplary embodiment, the anti-reflective layer 300 may be disposed between the sensor layer 200 and the display layer 100.

[0086] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the antireflective layer 300 may include color filters. The color filters may be arranged in a predetermined configuration. The arrangement of the color filters can be determined by taking into account the color of light emitted from pixels included in the display layer 100. Furthermore, the antireflective layer 300 may also include a black matrix adjacent to the color filters.

[0087] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the antireflection layer 300 may include a destructive interference structure. For example, the destructive interference structure may include a first reflective layer and a second reflective layer, the second reflective layer being disposed on a different layer than the layer on which the first reflective layer is disposed. The first reflected light and the second reflected light reflected from the first reflective layer and the second reflective layer, respectively, can destructively interfere with each other, and therefore, the reflectivity of external light can be reduced.

[0088] The antireflective layer 300 may comprise a stretched synthetic resin film. For example, the antireflective layer 300 may be provided by dyeing an iodine compound onto a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film.

[0089] Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view showing an electronic device 1000 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0090] Reference Figure 3 In an exemplary embodiment, the display layer 100 is disposed below the base layer 201 of the sensor layer 200.

[0091] Display layer 100 may include, for example, multiple insulating layers, semiconductor patterns, conductive patterns, and signal lines. The insulating layers, semiconductor layers, and conductive layers can be formed by, for example, coating or deposition processes. Then, the insulating layers, semiconductor layers, and conductive layers can be selectively patterned by photolithography. The semiconductor patterns, conductive patterns, and signal lines included in circuit layer 120 and light-emitting element layer 130 can be formed by the above-described processes. Then, an encapsulation layer 140 covering the light-emitting element layer 130 can be formed.

[0092] At least one inorganic layer may be formed on the upper surface of the base layer 110. The inorganic layer may include at least one of, for example, alumina, titanium oxide, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, zirconium oxide, and hafnium oxide. The inorganic layer may be formed as a multilayer. The inorganic layer may form a barrier layer and / or a buffer layer. In an exemplary embodiment, the display layer 100 may include a buffer layer (BFL).

[0093] The buffer layer BFL can increase the bonding force between the base layer 110 and the semiconductor pattern. The buffer layer BFL may include, for example, a silicon oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer, and the silicon oxide layer and the silicon nitride layer may be stacked alternately on top of each other.

[0094] Semiconductor patterns can be disposed on the buffer layer BFL. The semiconductor pattern may include polycrystalline silicon. However, the semiconductor pattern is not limited to this. For example, according to an exemplary embodiment, the semiconductor pattern may include amorphous silicon or oxide semiconductor.

[0095] Figure 3 Only a portion of the semiconductor pattern is shown. It will be understood that the semiconductor pattern can be further disposed in other regions. The semiconductor pattern can be arranged on the pixels according to specific rules. Depending on whether the semiconductor pattern is doped, it can have different electrical properties. The semiconductor pattern may include a first region with high conductivity and a second region with low conductivity. The first region may be doped with n-type or p-type dopant. A p-type transistor may include a doped region doped with p-type dopant, and an n-type transistor may include a doped region doped with n-type dopant. The second region may be an undoped region or a region doped at a lower concentration than the first region.

[0096] Doped regions can have a higher conductivity than undoped regions and can essentially be used as electrodes or signal lines. Undoped regions can essentially correspond to the active region (or channel) of a transistor. For example, a portion of a semiconductor pattern can be the active region of a transistor, another portion of the semiconductor pattern can be the source or drain of a transistor, and other portions of the semiconductor pattern can be connection electrodes or connection signal lines.

[0097] Each pixel can have an equivalent circuit consisting of seven transistors, a capacitor, and a light-emitting element, and the equivalent circuit can vary in a variety of ways. Figure 3 The image shows a transistor 100PC and a light-emitting element 100PE included in a pixel.

[0098] The source S1, active region A1, and drain D1 of transistor 100PC can be formed by a semiconductor pattern. The source S1 and drain D1 can extend from the active region A1 in opposite directions in cross-section. Figure 3 A portion of the connection signal line SCL, formed by a semiconductor pattern, is shown. The connection signal line SCL can be electrically connected to the drain D1 of transistor 100PC in a plane.

[0099] The first insulating layer 10 may be disposed on the buffer layer BFL. The first insulating layer 10 may commonly overlap with the pixel and may cover the semiconductor pattern. The first insulating layer 10 may be an inorganic layer and / or an organic layer, and may have a single-layer structure or a multilayer structure. The first insulating layer 10 may include at least one of, for example, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, zirconium oxide, and hafnium oxide. In an exemplary embodiment, the first insulating layer 10 may have a single-layer structure of silicon oxide. Not only the first insulating layer 10, but the insulating layer of the circuit layer 120 described later may also be an inorganic layer and / or an organic layer, and may have a single-layer structure or a multilayer structure. The inorganic layer may include at least one of the above-described materials. However, the inorganic layer is not limited thereto.

[0100] The gate G1 of transistor 100PC can be disposed on the first insulating layer 10. The gate G1 can be part of a metal pattern. The gate G1 can overlap with the active region A1. The gate G1 can be used as a mask during the doping of the semiconductor pattern.

[0101] The second insulating layer 20 may be disposed on the first insulating layer 10 and may cover the gate G1. The second insulating layer 20 may commonly overlap with the pixel. The second insulating layer 20 may be an inorganic layer and / or an organic layer, and may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. In an exemplary embodiment, the second insulating layer 20 may have a single-layer structure of a silicon oxide layer.

[0102] The third insulating layer 30 may be disposed on the second insulating layer 20. In an exemplary embodiment, the third insulating layer 30 may have a single-layer structure of silicon oxide layer or silicon nitride layer.

[0103] The first connection electrode CNE1 can be disposed on the third insulating layer 30. The first connection electrode CNE1 can be connected to the connection signal line SCL through a contact hole CNT-1 defined to pass through the first insulating layer 10, the second insulating layer 20 and the third insulating layer 30.

[0104] A fourth insulating layer 40 may be disposed on the third insulating layer 30. The fourth insulating layer 40 may have a single-layer structure of silicon oxide. A fifth insulating layer 50 may be disposed on the fourth insulating layer 40. The fifth insulating layer 50 may be an organic layer.

[0105] The second connecting electrode CNE2 can be disposed on the fifth insulating layer 50. The second connecting electrode CNE2 can be connected to the first connecting electrode CNE1 through a contact hole CNT-2 defined to pass through the fourth insulating layer 40 and the fifth insulating layer 50.

[0106] The sixth insulating layer 60 can be disposed on the fifth insulating layer 50 and can cover the second connecting electrode CNE2. The sixth insulating layer 60 can be an organic layer.

[0107] The light-emitting element layer 130, including the light-emitting element 100PE, can be disposed on the circuit layer 120. The light-emitting element 100PE may include a first electrode AE, a light-emitting layer EL, and a second electrode CE.

[0108] The first electrode AE ​​can be disposed on the sixth insulating layer 60. The first electrode AE ​​can be connected to the second connecting electrode CNE2 through a contact hole CNT-3 defined to pass through the sixth insulating layer 60.

[0109] The pixel defining layer 70 may be disposed on the sixth insulating layer 60 and may cover a portion of the first electrode AE. The opening 70-OP may be defined to extend through the pixel defining layer 70. At least a portion of the first electrode AE ​​may be exposed through the opening 70-OP of the pixel defining layer 70.

[0110] like Figure 3 As shown, the effective area is 1000A (refer to...). Figure 1 The electrode may include a light-emitting region PXA and a non-light-emitting region NPXA disposed adjacent to the light-emitting region PXA. The non-light-emitting region NPXA may surround the light-emitting region PXA. In an exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting region PXA may be defined as the portion corresponding to the first electrode AE ​​exposed through the opening 70-OP.

[0111] The light-emitting layer EL can be disposed on the first electrode AE. The light-emitting layer EL can be disposed in the region corresponding to the opening 70-OP. That is, the light-emitting layer EL can be formed in each pixel after being divided into multiple parts. When the light-emitting layer EL is formed in each pixel after being divided into multiple parts, each of the light-emitting layer EL can emit light having at least one color selected from blue, red, and green. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto. The light-emitting layer EL can be connected to the pixel and can be disposed publicly. In this case, the light-emitting layer EL can provide blue light or white light.

[0112] The second electrode CE can be disposed on the light-emitting layer EL. The second electrode CE can have an integral shape and can be disposed on the pixel in a common manner.

[0113] In an exemplary embodiment, a hole control layer may be disposed between the first electrode AE ​​and the light-emitting layer EL. The hole control layer is commonly disposed in the light-emitting region PXA and the non-light-emitting region NPXA. The hole control layer may include a hole transport layer and may also include a hole injection layer. An electron control layer may be disposed between the light-emitting layer EL and the second electrode CE. The electron control layer may include an electron transport layer and may also include an electron injection layer. The hole control layer and the electron control layer may be commonly formed in multiple pixels using, for example, an aperture mask.

[0114] An encapsulation layer 140 may be disposed on the light-emitting element layer 130. The encapsulation layer 140 can protect the light-emitting element layer 130 from foreign matter such as moisture, oxygen and dust particles.

[0115] The sensor layer 200 may include a base layer 201, a first conductive layer 202, a sensing insulating layer 203, a second conductive layer 204, and a covering insulating layer 205.

[0116] In an exemplary embodiment, the base layer 201 may be an inorganic layer comprising, for example, one of silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, and silicon oxide. In an exemplary embodiment, the base layer 201 may be an organic layer comprising, for example, an epoxy resin, an acrylic resin, or an imide resin. The base layer 201 may have a monolayer structure or a multilayer structure of multiple layers stacked on a third-direction DR3.

[0117] The first conductive layer 202 and the second conductive layer 204 may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure of multiple layers stacked on the third-direction DR3.

[0118] The conductive layer having a single-layer structure may include a metal layer or a transparent conductive layer. The metal layer may include, for example, molybdenum, silver, titanium, copper, aluminum, or alloys thereof. The transparent conductive layer may include transparent conductive oxides, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), zinc oxide (ZnO), and indium zinc tin oxide (ITZO). Furthermore, the transparent conductive layer may include conductive polymers, such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), metal nanowires, and graphene.

[0119] A conductive layer with a multilayer structure may include a metal layer. The metal layer may have a titanium / aluminum / titanium three-layer structure. A conductive layer with a multilayer structure may include at least one metal layer and at least one transparent conductive layer.

[0120] The sensor layer 200 can obtain information related to external inputs based on changes in mutual capacitance or self-capacitance. For example, the sensor layer 200 may include sensing patterns and bridging patterns. At least a portion of the sensing patterns and bridging patterns may be included in the first conductive layer 202, and at least a portion of the sensing patterns and bridging patterns may be included in the second conductive layer 204.

[0121] At least one of the sensing insulating layer 203 and the covering insulating layer 205 may include an inorganic layer. The inorganic layer may include at least one of, for example, alumina, titanium oxide, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, zirconium oxide, and hafnium oxide.

[0122] At least one of the sensing insulating layer 203 and the covering insulating layer 205 may include an organic layer. The organic layer may include at least one of, for example, acrylic resin, methacrylate resin, polyisoprene, vinyl resin, epoxy resin, urethane resin, cellulose resin, siloxane resin, polyimide resin, polyamide resin, and dinaphthalene-based phenyl resin.

[0123] Figure 4 This is a plan view showing a sensor layer 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0124] Reference Figure 4 The sensor layer 200 can sense external input applied to it from an external source. This external input can be user input. As described above, user input can include various external inputs, such as a part of the user's body, light, heat, a pen, or pressure. The sensor layer 200 can include a sensing region 200A and a peripheral region 200N defined within it. The sensing region 200A can be activated in response to an electrical signal. For example, the sensing region 200A can be the area in which input is sensed. The peripheral region 200N can surround the sensing region 200A.

[0125] The sensor layer 200 may include a plurality of first sensing electrodes 210, a plurality of second sensing electrodes 220, a plurality of first sensing lines 231, a plurality of second sensing lines 232, and a plurality of sensing pads 240.

[0126] The first sensing electrode 210 and the second sensing electrode 220 can be disposed in the sensing region 200A. The sensor layer 200 can obtain information related to external input based on the change in mutual capacitance between the first sensing electrode 210 and the second sensing electrode 220.

[0127] Each of the first sensing electrodes 210 may extend in a first direction DR1. The first sensing electrodes 210 may be arranged spaced apart from each other in a second direction DR2. Each of the second sensing electrodes 220 may extend in the second direction DR2 and may be arranged spaced apart from each other in the first direction DR1. The first sensing electrodes 210 and the second sensing electrodes 220 may intersect each other.

[0128] Each of the first sensing electrodes 210 may include a plurality of first portions 211 and a second portion 212 disposed between adjacent first portions 211. The first portion 211 may be referred to as a first sensing pattern or sensing portion, and the second portion 212 may be referred to as a “connection portion” or “cross portion”.

[0129] The first portion 211 and the second portion 212 can be connected to each other to have an integral shape. Therefore, the second portion 212 can be defined as the portion of the first sensing electrode 210 that intersects with the second sensing electrode 220. The first portion 211 and the second portion 212 can be disposed on the same layer as each other.

[0130] Each of the second sensing electrodes 220 may include a plurality of sensing patterns 221 and a bridging pattern 222 electrically connected to two adjacent sensing patterns 221. The sensing patterns 221 and the bridging pattern 222 may be disposed on different layers. Figure 4 Two bridging patterns 222 connecting two sensing patterns 221 are shown as a representative example. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, according to an exemplary embodiment, the number of bridging patterns 222 may be one, three, or more.

[0131] The first portion 211 and the second portion 212 can be disposed on the same layer as the sensing pattern 221. The layer on which the bridging pattern 222 is disposed can be different from the layer on which the first portion 211, the second portion 212, and the sensing pattern 221 are disposed. For example, the bridging pattern 222 can be included in the first conductive layer 202 (see reference 1). Figure 3 In the second conductive layer 204 (see reference 204), the first portion 211, the second portion 212, and the sensing pattern 221 can be included. Figure 3 However, this disclosure is not limited thereto, as long as the bridging pattern 222 and the second part 212 are disposed on different layers from each other.

[0132] Each of the first sensing electrode 210 and the second sensing electrode 220 can be electrically connected to a corresponding sensing line in the first sensing line 231 and the second sensing line 232. For example, one first sensing electrode 210 can be connected to one first sensing line 231, and one second sensing electrode 220 can be electrically connected to one second sensing line 232. However, the connection relationship between the first sensing line 231 or the second sensing line 232 and the first sensing electrode 210 and the second sensing electrode 220 is not limited thereto. For example, in an exemplary embodiment, one first sensing electrode 210 can be connected to two first sensing lines 231, one first sensing line 231 can be electrically connected to one end of the first sensing electrode 210, and the other first sensing line 231 can be electrically connected to the other end of the first sensing electrode 210.

[0133] The sensing pad 240 can be electrically connected to the first sensing line 231 and the second sensing line 232, respectively. The sensing pad 240 may include a first sensing pad 241 electrically connected to the first sensing line 231 and a second sensing pad 242 electrically connected to the second sensing line 232, respectively.

[0134] Figure 5A This illustrates an exemplary embodiment according to the present disclosure. Figure 4 A magnified plan view of region AA'.

[0135] Figure 5A An enlarged view is shown of the regions adjacent to each other of the first sensing pattern 211 of the first sensing electrode 210 and the second sensing pattern 221 of the second sensing electrode 220. Hereinafter, the first portion 211 of the first sensing electrode 210 will be referred to as the first sensing pattern, and the sensing pattern 221 of the second sensing electrode 220 will be referred to as the second sensing pattern.

[0136] Each of the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221 may have a grid (or lattice, or mesh) structure. The sensor layer 200 may be directly disposed on the display layer 100 (see reference). Figure 3 In this case, the sensor layer 200 and the display layer 100 can be reduced (see reference). Figure 3 The second electrode CE (refer to) Figure 3 The gap between the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221. According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, since each of the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221 has a mesh structure, the gap between the first sensing electrode 210 and the second electrode CE (refer to) is smaller than when the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221 are integrally formed into a single electrode. Figure 3 The base capacitance caused by the parasitic capacitance between the second sensing electrode 220 and the second electrode CE (refer to...) Figure 3 The base capacitance caused by parasitic capacitance between the two sensors can be further reduced. Therefore, since each of the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221 has a grid structure, the touch sensitivity of the sensor layer 200 can be improved.

[0137] The first sensing pattern 211 may include a first grid pattern 211MP and an opening 211OP defined by the first grid pattern 211MP. The second sensing pattern 221 may include a second grid pattern 221MP and an opening 221OP defined by the second grid pattern 221MP.

[0138] The first grid pattern 211MP may include a first grid line 211M1 and a first intersecting grid line 211M2, and the second grid pattern 221MP may include a second grid line 221M1 and a second intersecting grid line 221M2. The first grid line 211M1 and the second grid line 221M1 may extend in the same direction. For example, the first grid line 211M1 and the second grid line 221M1 may extend in a fourth direction DR4. The first intersecting grid line 211M2 and the second intersecting grid line 221M2 may extend in the same direction, intersecting the first grid line 211M1 and the second grid line 221M1. For example, the first intersecting grid line 211M2 and the second intersecting grid line 221M2 may extend in a fifth direction DR5.

[0139] The fourth direction DR4 and the fifth direction DR5 may be defined on the plane defined by the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2. The fourth direction DR4 may intersect the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, according to an exemplary embodiment, the fourth direction DR4 may be the same direction as the first direction DR1 or the second direction DR2. The fifth direction DR5 may intersect the fourth direction DR4. However, the fifth direction DR5 is not limited thereto, as long as the fifth direction DR5 is different from the fourth direction DR4. For example, the fifth direction DR5 may be a direction that forms an angle greater than about 0 degrees and less than about 180 degrees with the fourth direction DR4.

[0140] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the shape of the grid lines defining the disconnected portion can be defined by portions that exhibit defects when the disconnected portion is short-circuited and portions that do not exhibit defects, and these portions can be implemented to have shapes different from each other. Therefore, when a disconnection occurs in a specific area, a repair process can be performed by determining whether the specific area is an area requiring a repair process. That is, since the repair process can be performed only in areas requiring a repair process, the electronic device 1000 (refer to...) Figure 1 Manufacturing yield can be increased because the repair process is not performed separately in other areas(s) where it is not required. Furthermore, in an exemplary embodiment, the repair process can be omitted when the disconnection occurs only in areas where it is not required.

[0141] For example, the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221 may be components that need to be electrically isolated from each other to properly operate the sensor layer 200. The first sensing pattern 211 may be electrically connected to the first sensing line 231 (see reference). Figure 4 The second sensing pattern 221 can be electrically connected to the second sensing line 232 (see reference). Figure 4Therefore, the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221 can send, receive, or transmit and receive different electrical signals. Therefore, when the break in the boundary defining the boundary between the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221 is short-circuited, a repair process is required.

[0142] Furthermore, a break portion OLP can be defined in each of the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221 (see reference). Figure 6 Disconnect part of OLP (refer to) Figure 6 This can be additionally configured in the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221 such that the boundary between the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221 is invisible to the user. Disconnected portion OLP (refer to...) Figure 6 This can be set in the first sensing pattern 211 that provides a signal to it. Therefore, in an exemplary embodiment, even if a portion of the OLP (refer to...) is disconnected... Figure 6 Even if the OLP is short-circuited, the disconnected portion is not considered an electrical defect. Therefore, in the exemplary embodiment, even if the disconnected portion of the OLP (refer to...) is short-circuited, the disconnected portion is not considered an electrical defect. Figure 6 Short circuit, disconnect part of the OLP (refer to) Figure 6 No repair process is required.

[0143] The first grid line 211M1 may include at least one of a first end EG1 and a second end EG2. For example, multiple first grid lines 211M1 may be provided. Some of the multiple first grid lines 211M1 may include a first end EG1, and others of the multiple first grid lines 211M1 may include a first end EG1 and a second end EG2. The first end EG1 and the second end EG2 may correspond to portions of the first grid line 211M1 defined at the ends of the first grid line 211M1 in its direction of extension. The first end EG1 may be a portion facing the second sensing pattern 221, and the second end EG2 may be a portion spaced apart from the second sensing pattern 221.

[0144] The first end EG1 can directly face the second sensing pattern 221, and the second end EG2 can be spaced apart from the second sensing pattern 221, with another part of the first grid line 211M1 inserted between them. The statement "the first end EG1 can directly face the second sensing pattern 221" means that there is no conductive material between the first end EG1 and the second sensing pattern 221.

[0145] For example, such as Figure 5AAs shown, the first end EG1 of the first grid line 211M1 can directly face the third end EG3 of the second grid line 221M1 in the fourth direction DR4, and no conductive material is disposed between the first end EG1 and the third end EG3. Furthermore, the second end EG2 of the first grid line 211M1 can be spaced apart from the second sensing pattern 221, and for example, a portion of the first grid line 211M1 other than the second end EG2 is disposed therebetween. Additionally, the second end EG2 of one first grid line 211M1 can directly face another first grid line 211M1 in the fourth direction DR4, and no conductive material is disposed therebetween.

[0146] The second end EG2 can be defined within the first sensing pattern 211, and the second end EG2 of the first grid line 211M1 can directly face another first grid line 211M1. In this case, the first grid line 211M1 with the second end EG2 and the other first grid line 211M1 can receive the same signal from each other. For example, the second end EG2 can be a region that does not require a repair process even if it is short-circuited.

[0147] The first end EG1 and the second end EG2 can have different shapes from each other. Therefore, when a break occurs in the first end EG1, a repair process can be performed, and when a break occurs in the second end EG2, the break can be ignored.

[0148] The first end EG1 may include first side edges SE11 and SE12 extending substantially parallel to each other, and a first connecting edge CE1 connecting the first side edges SE11 and SE12. The angle AG1 between the first side edge SE11 and the first connecting edge CE1 may be greater than about 0 degrees and less than about 90 degrees. That is, the first connecting edge CE1 may include an inclined surface that is inclined relative to the first side edge SE11.

[0149] The second grid line 221M1 may include at least one of a third end EG3 and a fourth end EG4. For example, multiple second grid lines 221M1 may be provided. Some of the multiple second grid lines 221M1 may include a third end EG3, and others of the multiple second grid lines 221M1 may include a third end EG3 and a fourth end EG4. The third end EG3 and the fourth end EG4 may correspond to portions of the second grid line 221M1 defined at the ends of the second grid line 221M1 in its direction of extension. The third end EG3 may be a portion facing the first sensing pattern 211, and the fourth end EG4 may be a portion spaced apart from the first sensing pattern 211.

[0150] The third end EG3 may have substantially the same shape as the first end EG1. Alternatively, the third end EG3 may have a shape corresponding to that of the first end EG1. For example, if the third end EG3 has a convex shape, then the first end EG1 may have a concave shape.

[0151] The first end EG1 may face the third end EG3, and the first end EG11 may face the third end EG31 relative to the boundary between the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221. The first end EG1 and the first end EG11 may be arranged alternately with each other in the fifth direction DR5, and the third end EG3 and the third end EG31 may be arranged alternately with each other in the fifth direction DR5. The first end EG1 and the first end EG11 may have a shape symmetrical about a reference line extending in the fourth direction DR4, and the third end EG3 and the third end EG31 may have a shape symmetrical about the fourth direction DR4.

[0152] A short circuit may be identified as a defect when it occurs in a portion where the first ends EG1 and EG11 are arranged alternately and the third ends EG3 and EG31 are arranged alternately. Therefore, according to the exemplary embodiment, defect analysis can be more easily performed, and process yield can be improved by repairing the portion in which the defect occurs.

[0153] The length LT1 of each of the first ends EG1 and EG11 can be substantially the same as the length LT2 of each of the third ends EG3 and EG31. Length LT1 can be defined as the maximum length of the first grid line 211M1 protruding from the first intersecting grid line 211M2 closest to each of the first ends EG1 and EG11. Length LT2 can be defined as the maximum length of the second grid line 221M1 protruding from the second intersecting grid line 221M2 closest to each of the third ends EG3 and EG31.

[0154] Figure 5B This illustrates an exemplary embodiment according to the present disclosure. Figure 4 A magnified plan view of region AA'.

[0155] For ease of explanation, further descriptions of the components and technical aspects have been omitted to some extent, and it can be assumed that these components and technical aspects are at least similar to the corresponding components and technical aspects that have been described elsewhere in this disclosure.

[0156] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5BThe first grid line 211M1 may include a first end EG1 and a second end EG2. The first end EG1 may directly face the second sensing pattern 221, and the second end EG2 may be spaced apart from the second sensing pattern 221, with another portion of the first grid line 211M1 inserted therebetween. The first end EG1 and the second end EG2 may have different shapes from each other. Therefore, when a break occurs in the first end EG1, a repair process can be performed, and when a break occurs in the second end EG2, the break can be ignored.

[0157] The second grid line 221M1 may include a third end EG3 and a fourth end EG4. The third end EG3 may face the first sensing pattern 211, and the fourth end EG4 may be spaced apart from the first sensing pattern 211. The third end EG3 may have substantially the same shape as the first end EG1. Alternatively, the third end EG3 may have a shape corresponding to the shape of the first end EG1. For example, if the third end EG3 has a convex shape, then the first end EG1 may have a concave shape.

[0158] The first end EG1 may face the third end EG3 relative to the boundary between the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221. The first end EG1 may be repeatedly arranged in the fifth direction DR5, and the third end EG3 may be repeatedly arranged in the fifth direction DR5.

[0159] A short circuit occurring in a portion in which the first end EG1 and the third end EG3 are repeatedly arranged can be identified as a defect. Therefore, according to the exemplary embodiment, defect analysis can be more easily performed, and process yield can be improved by repairing the defective portion.

[0160] Figure 5C This illustrates an exemplary embodiment according to the present disclosure. Figure 4 A magnified plan view of region AA'.

[0161] For ease of explanation, further descriptions of the components and technical aspects have been omitted to some extent, and it can be assumed that these components and technical aspects are at least similar to the corresponding components and technical aspects that have been described elsewhere in this disclosure.

[0162] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5CThe first grid line 211M1 may include a first end EG1a and a second end EG2. The first end EG1a may directly face the second sensing pattern 221, and the second end EG2 may be spaced apart from the second sensing pattern 221, with another portion of the first grid line 211M1 inserted therebetween. The first end EG1a and the second end EG2 may have different shapes from each other. Therefore, when a break occurs in the first end EG1a, a repair process can be performed, and when a break occurs in the second end EG2, the break can be ignored.

[0163] The second grid line 221M1 may include a third end EG3a and a fourth end EG4. The third end EG3a may face the first sensing pattern 211, and the fourth end EG4 may be spaced apart from the first sensing pattern 211. The third end EG3a may have substantially the same shape as the first end EG1a. The first end EG1a and the third end EG3a may be arranged alternately with each other in the fifth direction DR5. The first end EG1a may face the second intersecting grid line 221M2 of the second sensing pattern 221 relative to the boundary between the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221, and the third end EG3a may face the first intersecting grid line 211M2 of the first sensing pattern 211 relative to the boundary between the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221. A portion 221M2P of the first end EG1a may directly face the second intersecting grid line 221M2. When the first end EG1a is electrically connected to the portion 221M2P, a repair process can be performed on the portion where the first end EG1a is electrically connected to the portion 221M2P, and therefore, the first end EG1a can be electrically disconnected from the portion 221M2P.

[0164] Figure 5D This illustrates an exemplary embodiment according to the present disclosure. Figure 4 A magnified plan view of region AA'.

[0165] For ease of explanation, further descriptions of the components and technical aspects have been omitted to some extent, and it can be assumed that these components and technical aspects are at least similar to the corresponding components and technical aspects that have been described elsewhere in this disclosure.

[0166] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5DThe first grid line 211M1 may include first ends EG1b and EG11b and a second end EG2. The first ends EG1b and EG11b may directly face the second sensing pattern 221, and the second end EG2 may be spaced apart from the second sensing pattern 221, with another portion of the first grid line 211M1 inserted therebetween. The first ends EG1b and EG11b and the second end EG2 may have different shapes from each other. Therefore, when a break occurs in the first ends EG1b and EG11b, a repair process can be performed, and when a break occurs in the second end EG2, the break can be ignored.

[0167] The second grid line 221M1 may include third ends EG3b and EG31b and a fourth end EG4. The third ends EG3b and EG31b may be portions facing the first sensing pattern 211, and the fourth end EG4 may be portions spaced apart from the first sensing pattern 211. The third ends EG3b and EG31b may have substantially the same shape as the first ends EG1b and EG11b.

[0168] The first end EG1b may face the third end EG3b relative to the boundary between the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221, and the first end EG11b may face the third end EG31b relative to the boundary between the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221. The first end EG1b and the first end EG11b may be arranged alternately with each other in the fifth direction DR5, and the third end EG3b and the third end EG31b may be arranged alternately with each other in the fifth direction DR5.

[0169] The lengths LT1a of the first end EG1b and LT1b of the third end EG3b can be different from each other. For example, the length LT1a of the first end EG1b can be longer than the length LT1b of the third end EG3b. The lengths LT2a of the first end EG11b and LT2b of the third end EG31b can also be different from each other. For example, the length LT2a of the first end EG11b can be shorter than the length LT2b of the third end EG31b.

[0170] In this case, the portion defining the boundary between the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221 can be defined as a zigzag shape, rather than extending in a specific direction. Therefore, the boundary can be prevented from being visible to the user. The portion defining the boundary can be the area between the first end EG1b and the third end EG3b where no conductive pattern is provided, and the area between the first end EG11b and the third end EG31b where no conductive pattern is provided.

[0171] Figure 6 This illustrates an exemplary embodiment according to the present disclosure. Figure 4 A magnified plan view of region BB'.

[0172] For ease of explanation, further descriptions of the components and technical aspects have been omitted to some extent, and it can be assumed that these components and technical aspects are at least similar to the corresponding components and technical aspects that have been described elsewhere in this disclosure.

[0173] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5A and Figure 6 The second end EG2 may include second side edges SE21 and SE22 extending substantially parallel to each other, and a second connecting edge CE2 connecting the second side edges SE21 and SE22. The angle AG2 between the second side edge SE22 and the second connecting edge CE2 may be different from the angle AG1 between the first side edge SE11 and the first connecting edge CE1. For example, the angle AG2 between the second side edge SE22 and the second connecting edge CE2 may be approximately 90 degrees. However, the angle AG2 is not limited to this. The lengths of the first connecting edge CE1 and the second connecting edge CE2 may be different from each other. For example, the first connecting edge CE1 may have a longer length than the second connecting edge CE2.

[0174] The second end EG2 can define the disconnected portion OLP. The first grid lines 211M1 located on both sides of the disconnected portion OLP can receive the same signal. Therefore, in the exemplary embodiment, even if the disconnected portion OLP is short-circuited, it does not exhibit an electrical defect. Therefore, when the disconnected portion OLP is short-circuited, the repair process can be omitted.

[0175] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, a first end EG1 that exhibits a defect when disconnected from the peripheral conductive pattern and a second end EG2 that does not exhibit a defect when disconnected from the peripheral conductive pattern can be implemented in the first sensing pattern 211 as having different shapes that are distinct from each other. For example, referring to... Figures 5A to 5D and Figure 6 In an exemplary embodiment, the first end EG1 of the first mesh pattern 211MP facing the second mesh pattern 221MP may have a shape different from the shape of the second end EG2 defining the break portion OLP of the first mesh pattern 211MP. Therefore, when a break occurs in a specific area, a repair process can be performed by determining whether the specific area requires a repair process. Thus, according to the exemplary embodiment, since the repair process can be performed only in the areas requiring repair, the electronic device 1000 (see reference 1000) can be improved. Figure 1 The manufacturing yield is increased. Furthermore, when a break occurs in an area where a repair process is not required, the repair process can be omitted.

Each of the connecting edges CEx and CEy may be a curve. The first end point EG1 described above (refer to...)

[0181] For ease of explanation, further descriptions of the components and technical aspects have been omitted to some extent, and it can be assumed that these components and technical aspects are at least similar to the corresponding components and technical aspects that have been described elsewhere in this disclosure.

[0182] Reference Figure 7B The diagram shows two ends, EGxa and EGya, facing each other, as a representative example. The two ends, EGxa and EGya, can have corresponding shapes.

[0183] End point EGxa may include a side edge SExa and a connecting edge CExa, and end point EGya may include a side edge SEya and a connecting edge CEya. Each of the connecting edges CExa and CEya may include a straight line. For example, connecting edge CExa may include straight lines CEx1 and CEx2, and connecting edge CEya may include straight lines CEy1 and CEy2. The first end point EG1 described above (refer to...) Figure 5A ) or the second end EG2 (refer to Figure 6 ) can be replaced with Figure 7B The shape of the end EGxa or EGya shown.

[0184] It will be understood that, according to the exemplary implementation, the first end EG1 (refer to Figure 5A ) and the second end EG2 (refer to Figure 6 The shape of each of them is not particularly restricted, as long as the first end EG1 (refer to) Figure 5A ) and the second end EG2 (refer to Figure 6 They can have different shapes from each other. That is, the first end EG1 (refer to...) Figure 5A ) and the second end EG2 (refer to Figure 6 The shape of each in the reference is not limited to that of the reference.

In an exemplary embodiment, the first connecting edge CE1 (refer to...) Figure 5A ) and the second connecting edge CE2 (refer to Figure 6 One of them includes at least two substantially straight lines, and the first connecting edge CE1 (refer to) Figure 5A ) and the second connecting edge CE2 (refer to Figure 6 Another one in ) includes either a basically straight line or a curve.

[0186] For ease of explanation, further descriptions of the components and technical aspects have been omitted to some extent, and it can be assumed that these components and technical aspects are at least similar to the corresponding components and technical aspects that have been described elsewhere in this disclosure.

[0187] Reference Figure 8 The sensor layer 200-1 may also include a dummy pattern 250. The dummy pattern 250 may be disposed on the base layer 201 in the region between the first sensing electrode 210 and the second sensing electrode 220. For example, the dummy pattern 250 may be disposed on the base layer 201 between the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221. The dummy pattern 250 may be a floating pattern.

[0188] Figure 9 This illustrates an exemplary embodiment according to the present disclosure. Figure 8 A magnified plan view of region CC'.

[0189] For ease of explanation, further descriptions of the components and technical aspects have been omitted to some extent, and it can be assumed that these components and technical aspects are at least similar to the corresponding components and technical aspects that have been described elsewhere in this disclosure.

[0190] Reference Figure 9 The diagram shows portions of a second sensing pattern 221, a first sensing electrode 210, and a dummy pattern 250. A first portion 211 of the first sensing electrode 210 (hereinafter referred to as the "first sensing pattern"), a second portion 212 of the first sensing electrode 210, the second sensing pattern 221, and the dummy pattern 250 can be disposed on the same layer. The first sensing pattern 211, the second portion 212, the second sensing pattern 221, and the dummy pattern 250 can have a grid structure.

[0191] The first sensing electrode 210 may include a first end EG1 and second ends EG20 and EG2D. The first end EG1 may be the portion facing the second sensing pattern 221, and the second ends EG20 and EG2D may be portions spaced apart from the second sensing pattern 221. For example, the second end EG20 may be disposed in the first sensing pattern 211, and the second end EG2D may face the dummy pattern 250. For example, the second end EG2D may be spaced apart from the second sensing pattern 221 in the fifth direction DR5, with the dummy pattern 250 interspersed therebetween.

[0192] The second sensing pattern 221 may include a third end EG3 and fourth ends EG4O and EG4D. The third end EG3 may be the portion facing the first sensing electrode 210, and the fourth ends EG4O and EG4D may be portions spaced apart from the first sensing pattern 211. For example, the fourth end EG4O may be disposed in the second sensing pattern 221, and the fourth end EG4D may face the dummy pattern 250.

[0193] When the first end EG1 and the third end EG3 are short-circuited with the peripheral conductive pattern, the first end EG1 and the third end EG3 may cause defects. Therefore, the first end EG1 and the third end EG3 may have different shapes than the other ends (e.g., the shapes of the second ends EG2O and EG2D and the fourth ends EG4O and EG4D).

[0194] Figure 9A structure is shown in which the second ends EG2O and EG2D have the same shape as each other and the fourth ends EG4O and EG4D have the same shape as each other. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the second end EG2D or the fourth end EG4D may have a shape that is substantially the same as the shape of the first end EG1. For example, when both the first sensing pattern 211 and the second sensing pattern 221 are connected to the dummy pattern 250, it may exhibit a defect. Therefore, when one of the second end EG2D and the fourth end EG4D has a shape that is substantially the same as the shape of the first end EG1, a repair process can be performed on one of the second end EG2D and the fourth end EG4D, and thus, the manufactured sensor layer 200-1 (refer to) Figure 8 It can be without defects.

[0195] Figure 10 This is a plan view showing some components of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0196] For ease of explanation, further descriptions of the components and technical aspects have been omitted to some extent, and it can be assumed that these components and technical aspects are at least similar to the corresponding components and technical aspects that have been described elsewhere in this disclosure.

[0197] Figure 10 Display layer 100 is shown (reference) Figure 3 The luminescent region PXA (reference) Figure 3 ) and sensor layer 200 (refer to) Figure 4 The first sensing pattern 211 (refer to) Figure 4 (part of)

[0198] Emitting region PXA (reference) Figure 3 Multiple regions can be configured, and each region can include a red emitting region (PXAR), a green emitting region (PXAG), and a blue emitting region (PXAB). Each of these regions can be arranged in a pentile structure. A pentile structure can mean, for example,... Figure 10 The structure shown is not limited to the arrangement of the red emitting region PXAR, the green emitting region PXAG, and the blue emitting region PXAB. Figure 10 The structure shown.

[0199] First sensing pattern 211 (reference) Figure 4 It can have a grid structure and can be in the first sensing pattern 211 (refer to) Figure 4 The first opening OPR, which overlaps with the red light emitting region PXAR, the second opening OPG, which overlaps with the green light emitting region PXAG, and the third opening OPB, which overlaps with the blue light emitting region PXAB, are defined in the diagram.

[0200] For example, the second opening OPG may be defined by a first grid portion MSP1, a second grid portion MSP2, a third grid portion MSP3, and a fourth grid portion MSP4. The first grid portion MSP1 and the second grid portion MSP2 may be spaced apart from each other, and the third grid portion MSP3 and the fourth grid portion MSP4 may be spaced apart from each other. Each of the third grid portion MSP3 and the fourth grid portion MSP4 may be connected to the first grid portion MSP1 and the second grid portion MSP2.

[0201] The first grid section MSP1 and the second grid section MSP2 can be the first grid line 211M1 (refer to...). Figure 5A The third grid section MSP3 and the fourth grid section MSP4 can be the first intersecting grid line 211M2 (refer to...). Figure 5A (part of)

[0202] The widths WT1, WT2, WT3, and WT4 of the first grid portion MSP1, the second grid portion MSP2, the third grid portion MSP3, and the fourth grid portion MSP4 can be substantially the same as each other. Furthermore, the distances DT1, DT2, DT3, and DT4 between the first grid portion MSP1, the second grid portion MSP2, the third grid portion MSP3, and the fourth grid portion MSP4 and the green light emitting region PXAG can be substantially the same as each other. The statement "the widths or distances are substantially the same as each other" can be understood to mean that the widths or distances are the same as each other, within the range including process tolerances as will be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0203] The first grid portion MSP1 may be a portion extending along the fourth direction DR4, and the width WT1 of the first grid portion MSP1 may be the width in a direction (e.g., the fifth direction DR5) that is substantially parallel to the direction in which the first grid portion MSP1 extends. Furthermore, the distance DT1 between the first grid portion MSP1 and the green light emitting region PXAG may be a distance in a direction substantially parallel to the fifth direction DR5.

[0204] Figure 11 This is a plan view showing some components of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0205] For ease of explanation, further descriptions of components and technical aspects have been omitted to some extent. It can be assumed that these components and technical aspects are at least similar to corresponding components and technical aspects already described elsewhere in this disclosure, and that the descriptions are... Figure 11 At that time, the main description will be related to Figure 10 The characteristics are different.

[0206] Reference Figure 11 The electronic device 1000 (see reference) can be improved by adjusting the widths WT1a, WT2a, WT3a, and WT4a of the first grid portion MSP1a, the second grid portion MSP2a, the third grid portion MSP3a, and the fourth grid portion MSP4a, as well as the distances DT1a, DT2a, DT3a, and DT4a between the first grid portion MSP1a, the second grid portion MSP2a, the third grid portion MSP3a, and the fourth grid portion MSP4a and the green light emitting region PXAG. Figure 1 The display quality of the green light emitting area PXAG can be used to represent the first emitting area PXAG1, the second emitting area PXAG2, the third emitting area PXAG3, and the fourth emitting area PXAG4.

[0207] Color coordinates can be controlled by adjusting the widths WT1a, WT2a, WT3a, and WT4a, as well as the distances DT1a, DT2a, DT3a, and DT4a, and thus, white angle difference (WAD) characteristics can be improved. WAD is a measure of white characteristic changes based on viewing angle. For example, WAD characteristics can be evaluated by measuring the amount of brightness change and color coordinate change relative to the viewing angle relative to the front (which is observed on the screen in the vertical direction (e.g., third-direction DR3)). When WAD characteristics are improved, electronic device 1000 (refer to...) can be improved. Figure 1 The display quality of ).

[0208] The widths WT1a, WT2a, WT3a, and WT4a of the first grid portion MSP1a, the second grid portion MSP2a, the third grid portion MSP3a, and the fourth grid portion MSP4a may differ from the others. For example, the first width WT1a may be greater than the third width WT3a and the fourth width WT4a, and the second width WT2a may be greater than the third width WT3a and the fourth width WT4a. Furthermore, some of the distances DT1a, DT2a, DT3a, and DT4a between the first grid portion MSP1a, the second grid portion MSP2a, the third grid portion MSP3a, and the fourth grid portion MSP4a and the green light emitting region PXAG may differ from the others. For example, the first distance DT1a may be smaller than the second distance DT2a, and the third distance DT3a may be smaller than the fourth distance DT4a.

[0209] The distances DT1a, DT2a, DT3a, and DT4a in each of the emitting regions providing the same light can be adjusted differently. For example, multiple green light emitting regions PXAG can be configured, and the green light emitting regions PXAG can include a first emitting region PXAG1, a second emitting region PXAG2, a third emitting region PXAG3, and a fourth emitting region PXAG4. The first emitting region PXAG1, the second emitting region PXAG2, the third emitting region PXAG3, and the fourth emitting region PXAG4 can emit the same color as each other.

[0210] First sensing pattern 211 (reference) Figure 4 It can have a grid structure and can be in the first sensing pattern 211 (refer to) Figure 4 The first opening OPG1 overlaps with the first light-emitting region PXAG1, the second opening OPG2 overlaps with the second light-emitting region PXAG2, the third opening OPG3 overlaps with the third light-emitting region PXAG3, and the fourth opening OPG4 overlaps with the fourth light-emitting region PXAG4.

[0211] The position of the first luminescent region PXAG1 relative to the first opening OPG1 may differ from the position of the second luminescent region PXAG2 relative to the second opening OPG2. For example, the first luminescent region PXAG1 may be positioned to be shifted relative to the first opening OPG1 in the first shifting direction DX1, the second luminescent region PXAG2 may be positioned to be shifted relative to the second opening OPG2 in the second shifting direction DX2, the third luminescent region PXAG3 may be positioned to be shifted relative to the third opening OPG3 in the third shifting direction DX3, and the fourth luminescent region PXAG4 may be positioned relative to the fourth opening OPG4 in the fourth shifting direction DX4.

[0212] Reference Figure 11 Red light emitting region PXAR and blue light emitting region PXAB (see Figure 10 Each of them can be similar to a shift of the green light emitting region PXAG, and therefore, further description of them will be omitted.

[0213] According to exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the positional relationship between the luminescent region and the opening can be provided in a variety of random ways. Therefore, although color distortion occurs in a particular direction due to process variations, the WAD distribution can be reduced by providing the positional relationship between the luminescent region and the opening in a variety of random ways.

[0214] Figure 12 This is a cross-sectional view showing an electronic device 1000-2 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 13This is a plan view showing some components of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0215] For ease of explanation, further descriptions of components and technical aspects have been omitted to some extent. It can be assumed that these components and technical aspects are at least similar to corresponding components and technical aspects already described elsewhere in this disclosure, and that the descriptions are... Figure 12 and Figure 13 At that time, the main description will be related to Figure 3 Different characteristics.

[0216] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 A recess 60H may be defined in the sixth insulating layer 60 of the display layer 100 of the electronic device 1000-2. The recess 60H may be provided by a component disposed below the sixth insulating layer 60.

[0217] The light-emitting element 100PEa may include a first electrode AE, a light-emitting layer ELG, and a second electrode CE. The light-emitting layer ELG may include a first light-emitting portion ELP1 and a second light-emitting portion ELP2G.

[0218] The first light-emitting portion ELP1 and the second light-emitting portion ELP2G can be distinguished from each other based on their shapes within the light-emitting layer ELG. For example, the first light-emitting portion ELP1 may include a substantially flat upper surface, and the second light-emitting portion ELP2G may include a sloping upper surface. For example, the second light-emitting portion ELP2G may have a curved shape corresponding to the shape of the groove 60H of the sixth insulating layer 60. The second light-emitting portion ELP2G may be recessed from the first light-emitting portion ELP1 in a direction away from the base layer 201.

[0219] Light LTP1 emitted from the first light-emitting portion ELP1 can travel along the third direction DR3, for example, in the thickness direction of the base layer 201, the thickness direction of the display layer 100, or the thickness direction of the electronic device 1000-2. Light LTP2 emitted from the second light-emitting portion ELP2G can be provided in a direction inclined relative to the third direction DR3.

[0220] When viewed in the thickness direction of the electronic device 1000-2, the grid portions MSP1b and MSP2b can be positioned around the green light emitting region PXAG. Figure 12 A first grid portion MSP1b and a second grid portion MSP2b are shown. The first grid portion MSP1b can be configured to be adjacent to the first light-emitting portion ELP1, and the second grid portion MSP2b can be configured to be adjacent to the second light-emitting portion ELP2G.

[0221] When viewed in a plane, the first distance DT1b between the first grid portion MSP1b and the green light emitting region PXAG can be different from the second distance DT2b between the second grid portion MSP2b and the green light emitting region PXAG. For example, the second distance DT2b can be smaller than the first distance DT1b.

[0222] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the second grid portion MSP2b disposed in the region adjacent to the inclined second light-emitting portion ELP2G can be disposed closer to the green light emitting region PXAG to prevent the light from appearing strong in a particular direction. The width WT2b of the second grid portion MSP2b can be adjusted to be greater than the width WT1b of the first grid portion MSP1b. Light traveling in a particular direction, such as light LTP2 traveling in the second light-emitting portion ELP2G in a direction inclined relative to a third party towards DR3, can be blocked by the second grid portion MSP2b. Therefore, the emission of light LTP2, which causes color distortion, can be prevented or reduced, making it visible to the user, and thus, the WAD characteristics can be improved.

[0223] Reference Figure 13 The luminescent portions ELP2R and ELP2B can be confined within the red luminescent region PXAR and the blue luminescent region PXAB, respectively, just like the second luminescent portion ELP2G within the green luminescent region PXAG. Figure 13 In this embodiment, the distances between the red light emitting region PXAR and the grid portions can be the same, and the distances between the blue light emitting region PXAB and the grid portions can also be the same. That is, only the distances DT1b and DT2b between the green light emitting region PXAG and the grid portions MSP1b and MSP2b can be adjusted differently. For example, in an exemplary embodiment, only the widths of the grid portions MSP1b and MSP2b, which are set around the emitting region that provides light of a specific color with optimal visual sensitivity characteristics, can be different.

[0224] Figure 14 This is a plan view showing some components of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0225] For ease of explanation, further descriptions of components and technical aspects have been omitted to some extent. It can be assumed that these components and technical aspects are at least similar to corresponding components and technical aspects already described elsewhere in this disclosure, and that the descriptions are... Figure 14 At that time, the main description will be related to Figure 13 Different characteristics.

[0226] Reference Figure 14The width of the grid portion adjacent to the red light emitting region PXAR and the blue light emitting region PXAB can be adjusted. For example, the second grid portion MSP2c can be positioned adjacent to the second emitting portion ELP2R of the red light emitting region PXAR. Therefore, the second grid portion MSP2c can extend in the direction towards the red light emitting region PXAR. Thus, the width WT2c of the second grid portion MSP2c can be greater than... Figure 13 The width of the second grid section MSP2b is WT2b.

[0227] The distance DT2R between the second emitting portion ELP2R and the grid portion of the red emitting region PXAR can be smaller than the distance DT1R between the first emitting portion and the grid portion of the red emitting region PXAR. Similarly, the distance DT2B between the second emitting portion ELP2B and the grid portion of the blue emitting region PXAB can be smaller than the distance DT1B between the first emitting portion and the grid portion of the blue emitting region PXAB. The first emitting portion of the red emitting region PXAR can be defined as any region within the red emitting region PXAR other than the second emitting portion ELP2R, and the first emitting portion of the blue emitting region PXAB can be defined as any region within the blue emitting region PXAB other than the second emitting portion ELP2B. The second emitting portions ELP2R, ELP2G, and ELP2B are shown as regions surrounded by dashed lines.

[0228] Although this disclosure has been specifically shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
