Publication number: 20240032316Abstract: Light reduction in a wiring part connected to an optical device of an electronic device including the optical device is prevented. The electronic device includes an insulating layer, an interlayer connection wiring, and an upper layer wiring. The insulating layer is disposed adjacent to the lower layer wiring and includes a through hole. The interlayer connection wiring is a transparent wiring that is connected to the lower layer wiring in the through hole and is formed into a shape extending to a surface side of the insulating layer. The upper layer wiring is a transparent wiring that is stacked and connected to the interlayer connection wiring extending to the surface side of the insulating layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2021Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: HITOSHI TSUNO, HIDEAKI TOGASHI, TOMOHIRO OHKUBO, MASAYUKI KURITA, SYUTO TAMURA, NOBUHIRO KAWAI, TOMOKI HIRAMATSU, MASAHIRO JOEI, KENICHI MURATA, HIDEKI TSUJIAI, TETSURO TAKADA
