Description

Electronic device including camera under display and display included in electronic device

Technical Field

Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to an electronic device including an under-display camera disposed under a display and a display included in the electronic device.

Background

The electronic device may have various cameras disposed at various locations. Some cameras included in the electronic device may be arranged such that images may be captured in a forward direction of the electronic device.

The electronic device may have a display disposed on the front surface for displaying information. The camera for forward image capture may be disposed in a separate area to avoid the display area, or a partial area of the display may be cut such that the camera for forward image capture is disposed therein.

Disclosure of Invention

Technical problem

If a camera for forward image capturing is provided to avoid the display area, there is a disadvantage in that the display area is reduced. If the camera is arranged in a partially cut area of the display area, the disadvantage is that: when the display is activated, information cannot be displayed in the camera-facing area and the aesthetic integrity is reduced.

In order to solve this problem, camera-under-display technology has been developed so that when a camera is disposed on the rear surface of a display, information can be displayed in a camera-facing area.

The arrangement of the various components (e.g., light emitting elements, circuit elements) of the display may be adjusted so that when the camera is disposed on the rear surface of the display, information may be displayed in the corresponding area. This causes problems in that: when the display is deactivated, various areas of the display may give different visual impressions.

Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a display configured such that when the display is deactivated, an area of the display gives a similar visual impression while providing a structure for implementing an under-display camera, and an electronic device including the display.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device 300 may include a first waterproof member 3201 disposed between the auxiliary material layer 440 of the display 400 and the side member 310. According to an embodiment, the electronic device 300 may include a second waterproof member 3801 disposed between the side member 310 and the rear plate 380. The first waterproof member 3201 and the second waterproof member 3801 may prevent and/or reduce inflow of foreign objects or moisture into the interior space 3001 of the electronic device 300. As another example, a waterproof member may be provided on at least a portion of the mounting support structure between the camera 500 and the side member 310. As another example, the first waterproof member 3201 and/or the second waterproof member 3801 may be replaced with an adhesive member.

According to various embodiments, the side member 310 may further include a first support member 311 configured to extend at least partially into the interior space 3001 of the electronic device 300. According to an embodiment, the first support member 311 may be formed by being combined with the structure of the side member 310. According to an embodiment, the first support member 311 may support the camera 500 such that the camera 500 is aligned and disposed near the rear surface of the display panel 431 through the openings (e.g., the openings 4411, 4421, 4451, 4441 of fig. 4) of the auxiliary material layer 440 of the display 400.

According to various embodiments, the camera 500 may include: a camera housing 510; a lens housing 520 disposed in the internal space 5101 of the camera housing 510 and configured to at least partially protrude in a display direction (e.g., direction (1)); a lens 530 including a plurality of lenses 531, 532, 533, and 534 arranged at predetermined intervals in an inner space 5201 of the lens housing 520; and at least one image sensor 540 disposed to capture at least a portion of the light that has passed through the lens 530 in the interior space 5101 of the camera housing 510. According to an embodiment, when the camera 500 includes an Auto Focus (AF) function, the lens housing 520 may be configured to move such that a distance from the display panel 431 is changed by a driving unit in the camera housing 510. According to an embodiment, in order for the camera 500 to perform an AF function, a separate driving unit may be provided to change the position of at least one of lenses 531, 532, 533, and 534 included in the lens 530. As another embodiment, in the camera 500, the camera housing 510 may be omitted, and the lens housing 520 may be directly disposed on the first support member 311 through a predetermined alignment process. According to an embodiment, when the lens housing 520 is directly disposed on the first support member 311, in order to reduce the camera arrangement space, the camera housing 510 may be omitted, and the lens housing 520 may be disposed to be attached to one side surface of the first support member 311. According to an embodiment, the camera 500 may be aligned through the through hole 301 of the first support member 311, and then may be attached to the rear surface of the first support member 311 by an adhesive member 312 (e.g., a bonding member or a tape member).

According to various embodiments, the display 400 may include a touch panel (e.g., the touch panel 433 of fig. 4), a POL 432, a display panel 431, a light blocking layer 441, a buffer layer (e.g., the buffer layer 442 of fig. 4), a digitizer (e.g., the detection member 445 of fig. 4), a functional member (e.g., the functional member 443 of fig. 4), and/or a conductive member (e.g., the conductive member 444 of fig. 4). Some elements of the display 400 described above may be omitted and elements other than those described may be added thereto. For example, POL 432 may be omitted. According to an embodiment, the camera 500 may be supported by a second support member 360 (e.g., a rear case) additionally provided in an inner space of the electronic device.

Fig. 6a is an enlarged view of a front camera portion of an electronic device according to embodiments disclosed herein. Fig. 6b is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of fig. 6 a. For example, the diagram of fig. 6a may be understood as an enlarged view of a portion of the camera 105 shown in fig. 1.

Fig. 6a may be only schematic diagrams showing the light emitting members 401, 402, 404 and the light emitters 401a, 401b, 401c, 402a, 402b, 402c, 404a, 404b, 404 c. The distance relationship (e.g., spacing) between the light emitting components and the distance relationship (e.g., spacing) between the light emitters shown in fig. 6a may be different from reality. For example, in fig. 6a, although it is shown that there is a blank space between the light emitting part 402 in the second area A2 and the light emitting part 404 in the third area A3, it may be only a blank space for convenience of explanation, and the light emitting parts 402 and 404 may be disposed in the space.

Referring to fig. 6b, a display panel 600 (e.g., the display panel 431 of fig. 4) may include a substrate 601, a circuit layer 602, a light emitting layer 603, and a protective layer 604.

For example, the substrate 601 of the display panel 600 may be formed using a glass substrate, a quartz substrate, or a transparent resin substrate. In this case, the transparent resin substrate may include a polyimide-based resin, an acrylic resin, a polyacrylate-based resin, a polycarbonate-based resin, a polyether-based resin, a sulfonic acid-based resin, or a polyethylene terephthalate-based resin.

In an embodiment, the circuit layer 602 may include a plurality of circuit components 621, 622 connected to the light emitting layer 603. For example, the circuit parts 621 and 622 may include Thin Film Transistors (TFTs) or low temperature passivation transistors (LTPS). The circuit parts 621 and 622 may be electrically connected to the light emitting parts included in the light emitting layer 603. The light emitting components may be activated or deactivated by the circuit components 621 and 622. An electrical signal for displaying a specific image may be transmitted to the light emitting layer 603 through the circuit parts 621 and 622, and thus some of the plurality of light emitting parts 401, 402, and 404 included in the light emitting layer 603 may be deactivated, and others of the light emitting layer 603 may be activated so that a display (e.g., the display 400 of fig. 4) displays the specific image. In an embodiment, the circuit parts 621 and 622 may be electrically connected to the light emitting parts 401, 402, and 404 through the transparent wiring 670. The transparent wiring 670 may refer to, for example, a wiring having high light transmittance. For example, the transparent wiring 670 may have a transmittance of about 80% or more with respect to the visible light region. The transparent wiring 670 may be made using a material such as an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) -based material, a graphene material, or a conductive polymer material.

In an embodiment, the light emitting layer 603 may include a plurality of light emitting members 401, 402, and 404. Each of the plurality of light emitting parts 401, 402, and 404 may generate light of a specific wavelength. For example, the light emitting parts 401, 402, and 404 may include first light emitters 401a, 402a, and 404a configured to generate visible light of a wavelength corresponding to red, second light emitters 401b, 402b, and 404b configured to generate visible light of a wavelength corresponding to green, and third light emitters 401c, 402c, and 404c configured to generate visible light of a wavelength corresponding to blue. For example, the light emitting members 401, 402, and 404 may be made of an organic light emitting material including an organic material. For example, the light emitting parts 401, 402, and 404 may include Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) including a common layer and an organic light emitting layer. The organic light emitting layer may be disposed between a pair of vertically laminated common layers. According to an embodiment, one common layer may include a Hole Injection Layer (HIL) and/or a Hole Transport Layer (HTL). According to an embodiment, the other common layer may comprise an Electron Transmissive Layer (ETL) and/or an Electron Injection Layer (EIL). Further, the light emitting parts 401, 402, and 404 may be replaced with various elements capable of generating light.

In an embodiment, the light emitting layer 603 may include a pixel defining layer 680. The pixel defining layer 680 may be made of a material having a high light absorptivity. Referring to fig. 6b, a pixel defining layer 680 may be disposed between the light emitters 401a, 401b, 401c, 402a, 402b, 402c, 404a, 404b, and 404 c. The pixel defining layer 680 can distinguish between light of different wavelengths generated by the light emitters 401a, 401b, 401c, 402a, 402b, 402c, 404a, 404b, and 404 c.

A protective layer 604 may be laminated on the light emitting layer 603 to protect the light emitting members 401, 402, and 404 included in the light emitting layer 603. The protective layer 604 may be formed using a synthetic resin material having insulating properties. In an embodiment, the thickness of each portion of the light emitting layer 603 may be different from each other. For example, in portions corresponding to the light emitting parts 401, 402, and 404 and portions corresponding to the pixel defining layer 680, the thicknesses of the light emitting layers 603 may be different from each other. The protective layer 604 may be laminated on the light emitting layer 603 in consideration of the thickness difference. For example, the protective layer 604 may be laminated on a portion having a thin thickness with a thicker thickness, thereby compensating for the thickness difference of the light emitting layer 603.

The display may comprise a plurality of pixels. The pixel may be a basic unit constituting a digital image, and one pixel may include a plurality of sub-pixels configured to emit light of a specific wavelength. For example, the sub-pixels may emit light corresponding to red, green, or blue. The above-described light emitting parts 401, 402, and 404 may be understood as one element constituting one pixel, and the first light emitters 401a, 402a, and 404a, the second light emitters 401b, 402b, and 404b, and the third light emitters 401c, 402c, and 404c, respectively, included in the light emitting parts may be understood as one element constituting a sub-pixel constituting the pixel.

Hereinafter, the "display activated state" may refer to a state in which, for example, a pixel included in the display panel 600 emits light, and the "display deactivated state" may refer to a state in which, for example, a pixel included in the display panel 600 does not emit light. For example, where the pixels are configured to emit light individually by electrical signals, a particular region of the display may be partially activated or deactivated.

Referring to fig. 6a, the display panel 600 may include a first region A1, a second region A2, and a third region A3. The region of the display panel 600 may be divided by a difference in the configuration of the light emitting layer 603 and the circuit layer 602 included in each region. The first area A1 may be an area facing a lens (e.g., lens 530 of fig. 5) of a camera (e.g., camera 500 of fig. 5) disposed on a rear surface of the display. The second area A2 may be an area adjacent to the first area A1. The third area A3 may be other areas than the first area A1 and the second area A2.

The first region A1 may be a region having relatively high transmittance of light compared to other regions (the second region A2 and the third region A3). In addition, the first region A1 may be a region facing an opening (e.g., openings 4411, 4421, 4451, 4441 of fig. 4) formed through an auxiliary material layer (e.g., auxiliary material layer 440 of fig. 4) of the display. The first area A1 may be an area facing a lens of the camera. Since the camera recognizes light incident through the first area A1 and then operates, it may be required that the first area A1 is configured to have high transmittance for light. The circuit parts 621 and 622 may not be disposed in the first area A1. The circuit parts 621 and 622, which do not have high transmittance to light, may be removed from the first area A1 to improve the transmittance of the first area A1.

The first light emitting part 401 may be disposed in the first region A1. That is, the first light emitting member 401 may be a light emitting member disposed in the first region A1. The first light emitting part 401 may include a plurality of light emitters 401a, 401b, and 401c. The plurality of light emitters 401a, 401b, and 401c may generate light at red, green, and blue wavelengths, respectively. In an embodiment, the circuit parts 621 and 622 may not be arranged in the first area A1, and thus the first light emitting part 401 disposed in the first area A1 may be electrically connected to the circuit part 621 disposed in the second area A2.

In an embodiment, the pixel density in the first region A1 may be smaller than the pixel density in the third region A3. For example, the number of light emitters 401a, 401b, and 401c included in the first light emitting member 401 may be smaller than the number of light emitters 404a, 404b, and 404c included in the fourth light emitting member 404 disposed in the third region A3. In addition, between the light emitters 401a, 401b, and 401c included in the first light emitting part 401, the pixel defining layer 680 may be partially removed in consideration of light transmittance. Referring to fig. 6b, light may travel to a space between the light emitters 401a, 401b, and 401c arranged in the first region A1, and then may reach a camera disposed on a rear surface of the display. In addition, the first light emitting part 401 may also be disposed in the first area A1, and thus visual information may be displayed through the first area A1 when the display is in an activated state. Thus, when the display is in an active state, the difference in visual impression between the first area A1 and the other areas may be not large. Referring to fig. 6b, the size of the first light emitting part 401 included in the first region A1 may be larger than the size of the fourth light emitting part 404 included in the third region A3. Here, the size of the light emitting part may refer to, for example, the size of a light emitter included in the light emitting part. As described above, the number of light emitters 401a, 401b, and 401c included in the first light emitting part 401 is smaller than the number of light emitters 404a, 404b, and 404c included in the fourth light emitting part 404. However, since the size of the first light emitting part 401 is larger than that of the fourth light emitting part 404, the difference in light amount between the first light emitting part 401 and the fourth light emitting part 404 may not be large. Therefore, when the display is in an active state, the difference in the amount of light between the first area A1 and the third area A3 can be reduced.

In an embodiment, between the first light emitting members 401, the portion where the pixel defining layer 680 is partially removed may include the light emitting layer 603 thinner than other portions. In order to compensate for the step difference due to the thickness difference therebetween, a greater amount of material may be used in the portion where the pixel defining layer 680 is removed, and thus the protective layer 604 laminated on the corresponding portion may be thicker.

The fourth light emitting part 404 may be disposed in the third region A3. The fourth light emitting part 404 may be electrically connected to the circuit part 622 disposed in the third region A3.

The second light emitting part 402 may be disposed in the second region A2. The second light emitting part 402 may be electrically connected to the circuit part 621 disposed in the second region A2. Some of the circuit parts 621 disposed in the second area A2 may be connected to the first light emitting part 401 disposed in the first area A1. Accordingly, as shown in fig. 6b, the number of light emitters 402a, 402b, and 402c included in the second light emitting part 402 disposed in the second region A2 may be smaller than the number of light emitters 404a, 404b, and 404c included in the fourth light emitting part 404 disposed in the third region A3. As described above, the number of the light emitters 402a, 402b, and 402c arranged in the second region A2 and the number of the light emitters 404a, 404b, and 404c arranged in the third region A3 may be different from each other. Accordingly, when the display is in the inactive state, or when the second and third areas A2 and A3 are in the inactive state, the vision of the second and third areas A2 and A3 may be different from each other. When the display is in an inactive state, the vision of the display may be affected by reflections of elements included in the display. The number of the light emitters included in the second and third regions A2 and A3 may be different from each other, and thus the reflectivities of the second and third regions A2 and A3 may be different from each other. Thus, as shown in fig. 6a, a visual difference between the second area A2 and the third area A3 may occur.

Fig. 7a is an enlarged view of a front camera portion of an electronic device according to another embodiment disclosed herein. Fig. 7B is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of fig. 7 a. For example, the diagram of fig. 7a may be understood as an enlarged view of a portion of the camera 105 shown in fig. 1.

Fig. 7a may be only schematic diagrams showing the light emitting parts 401, 402 and 404, the light emitters 401a, 401b, 401c, 402a, 402b, 402c, 404a, 404b and 404c, the dummy light emitting part 403 and the dummy light emitters 403a, 403b, 403 c. The distance relationship (e.g., spacing) between the light emitting components and the distance relationship (e.g., spacing) between the light emitters shown in fig. 7a may be different from reality. Although fig. 7a illustrates that the second light emitting part 402 and the dummy light emitting part 403 are partially overlapped with each other, as illustrated in fig. 7b, the second light emitting part 402 and the dummy light emitting part 403 may be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval, and thus may not be overlapped with each other. For example, in the second region A2, the distance relationship between the dummy light emitters 403a, 403b, and 403c included in the dummy light emitting part 403 and the second light emitters 402a, 402b, and 402c included in the second light emitting part 402 and the arrangement therebetween may be the same. In other words, the distance relationship between the dummy light emitters 403a, 403b, and 403c and the second light emitters 402a, 402b, and 402c and the arrangement therebetween may be substantially the same in all portions of the second region A2. The second region A2 may be a region in which unit pixels including the second light emitters 402a, 402b, and 402c and the dummy light emitters 403a, 403b, and 403c are disposed. Accordingly, the distance relationship between the second light emitters 402a, 402b, and 402c and the dummy light emitters 403a, 403b, and 403c and the arrangement therebetween may be substantially the same in all portions of the second region A2.

The embodiment shown in fig. 7a and 7b may be an embodiment for solving the problems of the embodiment of fig. 6a and 6 b. By the embodiments described below, when the display is in the inactive state, the difference in vision of the peripheral portion of the camera can be reduced. In the following description, the same reference numerals may be used in combination with elements substantially the same as or similar to those of fig. 6a and 6b, and detailed descriptions thereof may be omitted.

According to various embodiments disclosed herein, in order to reduce the visual difference between the second area A2 and the third area A3 when the display (e.g., the display 400 of fig. 4) is in the inactive state, the dummy light emitting part 403 may be disposed in the second area A2.

Referring to fig. 7b, the dummy light emitting member 403 may be disposed in the second region A2, and may be disposed in the second light emitting member 402 disposed in the second region A2. For example, the dummy light emitters 403a, 403b, and 403c included in the dummy light emitting part 403 may be arranged between the light emitters 402a, 402b, and 402c included in the second light emitting part 402. In various embodiments, two or more of the dummy light emitters 403a, 403b, and 403c included in the dummy light emitting part 403 may be arranged between the light emitters 402a, 402b, 402c included in the second light emitting part 402. The dummy light emitting part 403 may be a dummy light emitting part not connected to the circuit part 621 disposed in the second region A2. The dummy light emitting part 403 may not be connected to the circuit part 621, and thus may always remain in an inactive state (a state in which light is not generated). In an embodiment, the dummy light emitting part 403 may include the same structure as the second light emitting part 402 except that the structure is not connected to the circuit part 621. For example, the dummy light emitting member 403 may include the same or similar laminated structure as the second light emitting member 402 (e.g., a laminated structure including a common layer and an organic light emitting layer). In various embodiments, the dummy light emitting member 403 may have a similar vision to that of the second light emitting member 402, but may include a different structure.

When the display is in an inactive state, vision may be primarily determined by the reflectivity of elements disposed on the display. In the second region A2, the dummy light emitting members 403 may be disposed between the second light emitting members 402. Therefore, compared to the embodiment shown in fig. 6a and 6b, the difference between the area occupied by the light emitting members (the second light emitting member 402 and the dummy light emitting member 403) in the second region A2 and the area occupied by the fourth light emitting member 404 in the third region A3 can be reduced. Therefore, the difference in reflectivity between the second area A2 and the third area A3 can be reduced. Thus, as shown in fig. 7a, when the display is in an inactive state, the visual difference between the second area A2 and the third area A3 may be reduced.

In an embodiment, the arrangement of the light emitters 402a, 402b, 402c of the second light emitting part 402 and the dummy light emitters 403a, 403b, 403c of the dummy light emitting part 403 may be arranged similarly to the arrangement of the light emitters 404a, 404b, 404c included in the fourth light emitting part 404 provided in the third region A3. For example, in the third region A3, the light emitters 404a, 404b, and 404c included in the fourth light emitting part 404 may be arranged in order of light emitters generating light in the order of blue-red-green along the X-axis direction of fig. 7 b. In addition, in the second region A2, the dummy light emitters included in the second light emitting part 402 and the dummy light emitting part 403 may be arranged in the order of the dummy light emitters configured to generate light in the order of blue-red-green along the X-axis direction of fig. 7b (however, the dummy light emitters may not be connected to the circuit part 621, and thus light may not be actually generated due to no power supply). Thus, the second area A2 and the third area A3 may be similar in view when the display is in an inactive state.

In an embodiment, the size of the dummy light emitting member 403 may be smaller than the size of the second light emitting member 402. The dummy light emitting member 403 may be a dummy light emitting member that does not generate light. Accordingly, the dummy light emitting member 403 may be formed to have a size smaller than that of the second light emitting member 402 configured to generate light. In addition, the size of the second light emitting part 402 may be larger than the size of the fourth light emitting part 404. Therefore, when the display is in an active state, the difference in the amount of light between the second area A2 and the third area A3 can be reduced.

In an embodiment, the size of the dummy light emitting member 403 may be substantially the same as the size of the fourth light emitting member 404. Further, the size of the dummy light emitting member 403 may be changed differently.

Fig. 8a is a cross-sectional view of one of the various embodiments of the display panel disclosed herein. Fig. 8b is a cross-sectional view of one of the various embodiments of the display panel disclosed herein. Fig. 8c is a cross-sectional view of one of the various embodiments of the display panel disclosed herein.

In the following description, the same reference numerals of the components may be used in combination with the same or similar elements as those described through fig. 6a, 6b, 7a and 7b, and detailed descriptions thereof may be omitted.

According to various embodiments, the display panel 600 may include a substrate 601, a circuit layer 602, a light emitting layer 603, and a protective layer 604 as described in fig. 6b and 7 b. In addition, the display panel 600 may further include a transmissive layer 605. The transmissive layer 605 may include a plurality of transmissive members 651, 652, 653, and 654 configured to transmit light.

The transmissive layer 605 may be laminated on the protective layer. For example, the transmissive layer 605 may be a color filter configured to transmit light of a specific wavelength. As shown in fig. 8a to 8c, the first transmission part 651 may be disposed in the first region A1 of the display panel 600, the second and third transmission parts 652 and 653 may be disposed in the second region A2, and the fourth transmission part 654 may be disposed in the third region A3. The transmissive layer 605 may include a blocking member 690 formed using a material having a high light absorptivity. The blocking member 690 may be disposed between the transmission bodies 651a, 651b, 651c, 652a, 652b, 652c, 653a, 653b, 653c, 654a, 654b, and 654c included in the transmission parts 651, 652, 653, and 654. The blocking member 690 may include a Black Matrix (BM) and a Pixel Defining Layer (PDL). In various embodiments, the blocking member 690 may be formed using the same material as that of the pixel defining layer 680 of the light emitting layer 603.

In an embodiment, the transmission parts 651, 652, 653, and 654 may include a plurality of transmission bodies 651a, 651b, 651c, 652a, 652b, 652c, 653a, 653b, 653c, 654a, 654b, and 654c configured to transmit light of different wavelengths. For example, the first transmissive bodies 651a, 652a, 653a and 654a may transmit light corresponding to a wavelength based on red, the second transmissive bodies 651b, 652b, 653b and 654b may transmit light corresponding to a wavelength based on green, and the third transmissive bodies 651c, 652c, 653c and 654c may transmit light corresponding to a wavelength based on blue. The transmitting bodies 651a, 651b, 651c, 652a, 652b, 652c, 653a, 653b, 653c, 654a, 654b, and 654c may be disposed to face the light emitters 401a, 401b, 401c, 402a, 402b, 402c, 403a, 403b, 403c, 404a, 404b, 404c, respectively, that generate light of the same or similar wavelengths. For example, when the first light emitters 401a, 402a, 403a, and 404c generate light corresponding to a wavelength based on red, the first light transmitters 651a, 652a, 653a, and 654a disposed at positions facing the first light emitters 401a, 402a, 403a, and 404c may be configured to transmit light corresponding to a wavelength based on red. When the second light emitters 401b, 402b, 403b, and 404b generate light corresponding to a green-based wavelength, the second transmissive bodies 651b, 652b, 653b, and 654b disposed at positions facing the second light emitters 401b, 402b, 403b, and 404b may be configured to transmit light corresponding to a green-based wavelength. When the third light emitters 401c, 402c, 403c, and 404c generate light corresponding to a blue-based wavelength, the third light emitters 651c, 652c, 653c, and 654c disposed at positions facing the third light emitters 401c, 402c, 403c, and 404c may be configured to transmit light corresponding to a blue-based wavelength.

In the display panel 600 including the transmission parts 651, 652, 653, and 654, when the display is in the off state, the vision may be affected by the reflectances of the transmission parts 651, 652, 653, and 654, and thus may be determined by the areas of the transmission parts 651, 652, 653, and 654. When the transmission parts 651, 652, 653, and 654 are similarly arranged in the second area A2 and the third area A3 and the display is in the off state, the difference in vision between the second area A2 and the third area A3 can be reduced.

In the first region A1, the first transmission part 651 may be disposed at a position facing the first light emitting part 401. In an embodiment, the size of the first transmission part 651 may be substantially equal to or greater than the size of the first light emitting part 401.

In the second region A2, the second transmissive part 652 may be disposed at a position facing the second light emitting part 402. The third transmission member 653 may be disposed at an area facing the dummy light emitting member 403. In an embodiment, the size of the second transmissive part 652 may be substantially equal to or greater than the size of the second light emitting part 402. The size of the third transmission member 653 may be substantially equal to or greater than the size of the dummy light emitting member 403. The third transmission member 653 may be disposed between the dummy light emitting members 652. For example, the transmissive bodies 653a, 653b, and 653c included in the third transmissive member 653 may be arranged between the transmissive bodies 652a, 652b, and 652c included in the second transmissive member 652. In various embodiments, two or more of the transmissive bodies 653a, 653b, and 653c included in the third transmissive part 653 may be disposed between the transmissive bodies 652a, 652b, and 652c included in the second transmissive part 652. In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 8a to 8c, when the size of the second light emitting member 402 is larger than that of the dummy light emitting member 403, the size of the second transmission member 652 may also be larger than that of the third transmission member 653.

In the third region A3, the fourth transmission member 654 may be disposed at a position facing the fourth light emitting member 404.

The sum of the areas occupied by the second and third transmissive parts 652 and 653 in the second area A2 may be configured to be similar to the sum of the areas occupied by the fourth transmissive part 654 in the third area A3. The visual difference between the second area A2 and the third area A3 may be reduced when the display is in an active state.

When the display panel 600 includes the transmission members 651, 652, 653, and 654, the light emitting layer 603 may be configured in various ways. For example, as shown in fig. 8a, the dummy light emitting member 403 may be omitted from the second region A2, and a portion corresponding thereto may be filled with the pixel defining layer 680. In addition, as shown in fig. 8b, the dummy light emitting member 403 may be disposed in the second region A2, and the third transmission member 653 may be disposed in a region facing the dummy light emitting member 403. In addition, as shown in fig. 8c, only the second light emitting members 402 may be disposed in the second region A2, and a portion of the pixel defining layer 680 between the second light emitting members 402 may be removed from the second region A2. The third transmissive part 653 may be disposed to face the part of the pixel defining layer 680 that is partially removed.

In an embodiment, when the display panel 600 includes the transmissive layer 605, the display may not include POL (e.g., POL 432 of FIG. 4). POL may be an element configured to block light reflected from the display. Even when light is partially reflected from the display panel 600, only light of a specific wavelength can pass through the transmission members 651, 652, 653, and 654 and can be visually recognized from the outside. The wavelength of light having passed through the transmission parts 651, 652, 653, and 654 and the wavelength of light generated by the light emitting parts 401, 402, 403, and 404 may be the same as or similar to each other. Accordingly, in a state where POL is omitted from them, the problem of deterioration in visibility of visual information displayed by light reflected from the display can be solved.

The embodiment of fig. 9a and 9b may be similar to the embodiment described in fig. 8c, and thus descriptions of the same elements and similar elements may be omitted.

As shown in fig. 9a and 9b, in the case where only the second light emitting member 402 is disposed in the second region A2 and the pixel defining layer 680 is removed from the second light emitting member 402, light outside the electronic device may pass through the third transmission member 653 and then may travel through the second light emitting member 402 of the second region A2. Referring to fig. 9a and 9b, the optical sensor 910 may be disposed on a rear surface of the display such that at least a portion thereof faces the second area A2. The optical sensor 910 may be a sensor configured to receive light external to the electronic device, and may include sensors such as a proximity sensor and an illuminance sensor using external light. In some cases, sensors configured to confirm biological information (e.g., skin-related information, heart-related information, etc.) of a user by using light may be included therein. Light outside the electronic device may pass through the third transmission member 653, and some of the passed light may travel between the second light emitting members 402 and then may reach the optical sensor 910. Accordingly, the optical sensor 910 disposed to face the second area A2 may receive light outside the electronic device and then may be operated.

In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 9b, the third transmission member 653 provided in the second region A2 may be constituted by the transmission bodies 653a, and all the transmission bodies 653a transmit the light of the same wavelength. The light having passed through the third transmission member 653 may travel between the second light emitting members 402 and then may reach the optical sensor 910 disposed to face the second area A2. In this case, only light of a specific wavelength that has passed through the third transmission member 653 can reach the optical sensor 910. The means of the optical sensor 910 configured to recognize light may be configured as: the third transmission member 653 may be configured to allow the wavelength sensitively recognized by the device included in the optical sensor 910 to pass therethrough, thereby improving the light recognition efficiency of the optical sensor 910. In various embodiments, an optical sensor 910 configured to primarily use light of a particular wavelength may be used therein. For example, when the optical sensor 910 configured to mainly use a specific wavelength (e.g., red light) is used to recognize the skin condition of the user, the third transmission member 653 capable of transmitting light of the specific wavelength may be applied thereto.
