[0040] It will be understood that the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are used herein to distinguish one element from another element, and these elements are not limited by these terms. Therefore, a "first" element in an embodiment may be described as a "second" element in another embodiment.

[0041] It should be understood that descriptions of features or aspects within each embodiment should typically be considered as available for other similar features or aspects in other embodiments, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0042] As used herein, the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0043] In this article, when two or more elements or values ​​are described as being substantially the same as or roughly equal to each other, it should be understood that elements or values ​​are the same as each other, elements or values ​​are equal to each other within measurement error or if measurably unequal, then as will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art, elements or values ​​are close enough in value and functionally equal to each other. For example, in view of the measurement discussed and the error (that is, the limitation of the measurement system) associated with the measurement of a specific amount, the term "about" as used herein includes the value and means within the acceptable deviation range of the specific value determined by those of ordinary skill in the art. For example, "about" can mean within one or more standard deviations understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. In addition, it should be understood that although parameters can be described as having "about" specific values ​​in this article, according to an embodiment, as will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art, the parameter can be just the specific value or be approximately the specific value within the measurement error.

[0044] Figure 1 is a perspective view schematically showing an electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 It is shown Figure 1 An exploded perspective view of an embodiment of an electronic device 100 is shown.

[0046] A display surface displaying an image may extend parallel to a surface defined in the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2. A thickness direction of the electronic device 100 may be represented as a third direction DR3, which is a normal direction of the display surface.

[0047] The electronic device 100 may be formed of a rectangular panel having a long side extending in a first direction DR1 and a short side extending in a second direction DR2 intersecting the first direction DR1 (e.g., relative to the long side). The corner where the long side extending in the first direction DR1 and the short side extending in the second direction DR2 intersect may be rounded with a certain curvature, or may be formed at a right angle. The planar shape of the electronic device 100 is not limited to a rectangular shape, and may have other polygonal shapes, a circular shape, or an elliptical shape.

Here, the optical signal may be external natural light NL (see Figure 2 ), but the type of optical signal is not particularly limited.

Some of the plurality of conductive patterns (e.g., drive electrodes) may receive touch drive signals. The remaining plurality of conductive patterns (e.g., sensing electrodes) may output sensing signals representing capacitance changes between the plurality of conductive patterns. When a part of a user's body (e.g., a user's finger) is placed on a capacitively coupled conductive pattern, the capacitance between the conductive patterns may change.

The modules may be mounted on a circuit board or may be electrically connected through a flexible circuit board.

[0062] In an embodiment, the frame assembly FM may be coupled to the window panel WP and accommodate the display panel DP, the touch sensing panel TSP, and the electronic assembly EM. Figure 2 One frame assembly FM is shown in FIG. 1 for exemplary purposes, but according to an embodiment, the frame assembly FM may include two or more assemblies assembled with each other.

[0063] In an embodiment, the optical sensor CM may be disposed under the display panel DP. The optical sensor CM may include an electronic component configured to output or receive an optical signal.

The optical sensor CM may include a camera module, but is not limited thereto, and may include, for example, a proximity sensor and / or an infrared emission sensor according to an embodiment.

[0064] In an embodiment, the optical sensor CM may overlap the first sensing area TSA1 and the first display area DP_DA1. The first sensing area TSA1 and the first display area DP_DA1 have relatively high transmittance compared to other areas. In an embodiment, the transmittance of the first sensing area TSA1 is higher than the transmittance of the second sensing area TSA2. The transmittance of the first display area DP_DA1 may be higher than the transmittance of the second display area DP_DA2.
