  • Publication number: 20260029871
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a display layer configured to display an image, a sensor layer on the display layer configured to receive a downlink signal from an input device, a display driver configured to drive the display layer and a sensor driver configured to control the sensor layer and operate in a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the display driver is configured to drive the display layer in a first frame having a first operating frequency. In the second mode, the display driver is configured to drive the display layer in a second frame having a second operating frequency lower than the first operating frequency. The second frame includes a first write period and a first blank period. In the second mode, the sensor driver is configured to receive the downlink signal during a period overlapping with the first blank period.

  • Patent number: 10824257
    Abstract: Provided is an electronic device. The electronic device includes a base layer including a sensing area and a surrounding area configured to surround the sensing area, a plurality of sensor patterns disposed on the sensing area, and connection patterns connecting the plurality of sensor patterns to each other. A boundary between the sensing area and the surrounding area comprises a curved boundary, and the connection pattern, which is disposed adjacent to the curved boundary, of the connection patterns is disposed to be spaced a predetermined distance or more from the curved boundary.
