The second area A2 may be an area adjacent to the first area A1. The third area A3 may be an area other than the first area A1 and the second area A2.

The first area A1 may be an area having relatively high light transmittance compared to other areas (the second area A2 and the third area A3). In addition, the first area A1 is an area facing the openings (eg, openings 4411, 4421, 4451, and 4441 of FIG. 4) formed in the subsidiary material layer (eg, the subsidiary material layer 440 of FIG. 4) of the display. can be The first area A1 may be an area facing the lens unit of the camera device. Since the camera device operates by recognizing light incident through the first area A1, the first area A1 needs to have high light transmittance. The circuit units 621 and 622 may not be disposed in the first area A1. Transmittance of the first region A1 may be improved by excluding the circuit portions 621 and 622 having low light transmittance from the first region A1.

The first light-emitting unit 401 may include a plurality of light-emitting elements 401a, 401b, and 401c. The plurality of light emitting elements 401a, 401b, and 401c may generate light of red, green, and blue wavelengths, respectively. In an embodiment, since the circuit units 621 and 622 are not disposed in the first area A1, the first light emitting unit 401 disposed in the first area A1 is the circuit unit disposed in the second area A2. (621) and can be electrically connected.

In one embodiment, the pixel density of the first area A1 may be smaller than that of the third area A3. For example, the number of light emitting elements 401a, 401b, and 401c included in the first light emitting unit 401 is equal to the number of light emitting elements 404a, 404b, It may be less than the number of 404c). In addition, the pixel defining layer 680 between the light emitting elements 401a, 401b, and 401c included in the first light emitting unit 401 may be partially removed in consideration of light transmittance. Referring to FIG. 6B , light may travel into a space between the light emitting bodies 401a, 401b, and 401c disposed in the first area A1 and reach the camera device disposed on the rear surface of the display. Meanwhile, since the first light emitting unit 401 is also disposed in the first area A1, visual information may be displayed through the first area A1 when the display is activated. Accordingly, a visual difference between the first area A1 and the remaining areas may not be large when the display is activated. Referring to FIG. 6B , the size of the first light emitting part 401 included in the first area A1 may be larger than the size of the fourth light emitting part 404 included in the third area A3 . Here, the size of the light emitting unit may mean the size of a light emitting body included in the light emitting unit. As described above, the number of light emitting elements 401a, 401b, and 401c included in the first light emitting unit 401 is smaller than the number of light emitting elements 404a, 404b, and 404c included in the fourth light emitting unit 404, but Since the size of the first light emitting part 401 is larger than the size of the fourth light emitting part 404, a difference between the light amount of the first light emitting part 401 and the light amount of the fourth light emitting part 404 may not be large. Accordingly, a difference in light quantity between the first area A1 and the third area A3 may be reduced while the display is activated.

In one embodiment, a portion between the first light emitting portions 401 from which the pixel defining layer 680 is partially removed may include a thinner light emitting layer 603 than other portions. In order to compensate for the step due to the difference in thickness, the protective layer 604 may be stacked thicker at the portion where the pixel defining layer 680 is removed by using a material having a larger capacity.

A fourth light emitting unit 404 may be disposed in the third area A3. The fourth light emitting unit 404 may be electrically connected to the circuit unit 622 disposed in the third area A3.

A second light emitting unit 402 may be disposed in the second area A2 . The second light emitting unit 402 may be electrically connected to the circuit unit 621 disposed in the second area A2. Since some of the circuit units 621 disposed in the second area A2 are connected to the first light emitting unit 401 disposed in the first area A1, as shown in FIG. 6B, the second area A2 The number of light emitting elements 402a, 402b, and 402c included in the second light emitting part 402 disposed in the third area A3 is equal to the number of light emitting elements 404a, 404b, and 404c included in the fourth light emitting part 404 disposed in the third area A3. ) may be less than the number of As such, since the number of light emitting elements 402a, 402b, and 402c disposed in the second area A2 is different from the number of light emitting elements 404a, 404b, and 404c disposed in the third area A3, the display is in an inactive state. , or when the second area A2 and the third area A3 are deactivated, the second area A2 and the third area A3 may have different visual sensations. In a state in which the display is deactivated, the visual sensation of the display may be affected by the reflectance of components included in the display. Since the number of light emitting bodies included in the second area A2 and the third area A3 is different from each other, reflectances of the second area A2 and the third area A3 may be different from each other. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6A , a visual difference between the second area A2 and the third area A3 may occur.

7A is an enlarged view of a front camera portion of an electronic device according to another embodiment disclosed in this document. Fig. 7B is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B in Fig. 7A.

It is only a mimetic diagram to explain . The distance relationship (eg, interval) between the light emitting part and the light emitting body shown in FIG. 7A may be different from the actual one. Although the second light emitting unit 402 and the dummy light emitting unit 403 are partially overlapped in FIG. 7A, as shown in FIG. are spaced apart and may not overlap with each other. For example, in the second area A2, the dummy light emitting elements 403a, 403b, and 403c included in the dummy light emitting part 403 and the second light emitting elements 402a, 402b, and 402c included in the second light emitting part 402 The distance relationship and arrangement of may be the same. In other words, the distance relationship and arrangement between the dummy light-emitting elements 403a, 403b, and 403c and the second light-emitting elements 402a, 402b, and 402c may be substantially the same in all parts of the second area A2. The second area A2 is an area where unit pixels composed of the second light emitting elements 402a, 402b, and 402c and the dummy light emitting elements 403a, 403b, and 403c are arranged.

According to various embodiments disclosed in this document, in order to reduce a visual difference between the second area A2 and the third area A3 when the display (eg, the display 400 of FIG. 4 ) is inactive, the second area A dummy light emitting portion 403 can be disposed in (A2).

Referring to FIG. 7B , the dummy light emitting unit 403 is disposed in the second area A2 and may be disposed between the second light emitting units 402 disposed in the second area A2. For example, the dummy light emitting elements 403a , 403b , and 403c included in the dummy light emitting part 403 may be disposed between the light emitting elements 402a , 402b , and 402c included in the second light emitting part 402 . In some embodiments, two or more dummy light emitters 403a, 403b, and 403c included in the dummy light emitter 403 may be disposed between the light emitters 402a, 402b, and 402c included in the second light emitter 402. there is. The dummy light emitting unit 403 may be a dummy light emitting unit that is not connected to the circuit unit 621 disposed in the second area A2. Since the dummy light emitting unit 403 is not connected to the circuit unit 621, it can always maintain an inactive state (a state that does not emit light). In an exemplary embodiment, the dummy light emitting unit 403 may have the same structure as the second light emitting unit 402 except that it is not connected to the circuit unit 621 . For example, the dummy light emitting unit 403 may include a stack structure identical to or similar to that of the second light emitting unit 402 (eg, a stack structure including a common layer and an organic light emitting layer). In some embodiments, the dummy light emitting unit 403 may have a similar viewing sensation to that of the second light emitting unit 402 but may include a different structure.

In a state in which the display is deactivated, the visual sensation of the display may be mainly determined by reflectance of components disposed on the display. Since the dummy light emitting unit 403 is disposed between the second light emitting units 402 in the second area A2, the light emitting units (the second light emitting unit 402 and the dummy light emitting unit 403) are formed in the second area A2. ) and the area occupied by the fourth light emitting unit 404 in the third area A3 may be reduced compared to the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 6A and 6B . Accordingly, a difference in reflectance between the second area A2 and the third area A3 may be reduced. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 7A , the visual difference between the second area A2 and the third area A3 may be reduced in a state in which the display is deactivated.

In an exemplary embodiment, the arrangement of the light emitting elements 402a, 402b, and 402c of the second light emitting part 402 and the dummy light emitting elements 403a, 403b, and 403c of the dummy light emitting part 403 are disposed in the third area A3. The arrangement may be similar to the arrangement of the light emitting elements 404a, 404b, and 404c included in the fourth light emitting unit 404 . For example, in the third area A3, the light emitting elements 404a, 404b, and 404c included in the fourth light emitting unit 404 are arranged in the order of blue-red-green light emitting elements along the X-axis direction of FIG. 7B. It can be. The dummy light emitting elements included in the second light emitting part 402 and the dummy light emitting part 403 in the second area A2 are also configured to generate blue-red-green light along the X-axis direction of FIG. Since the light emitting elements are not connected to the circuit unit 621, they may not actually generate light because there is no energy supply.) Dummy light emitting elements may be arranged in order. Accordingly, the second area A2 and the third area A3 may have a similar view when the display is deactivated.

In one embodiment, the size of the dummy light emitting part 403 may be smaller than that of the second light emitting part 402 . Since the dummy light emitting part 403 is a dummy light emitting part that does not emit light, the dummy light emitting part 403 can be formed to have a smaller size than the second light emitting part 402 that emits light. Also, the size of the second light emitting part 402 may be larger than that of the fourth light emitting part 404 . Accordingly, a difference between the amount of light in the second area A2 and the amount of light in the third area A3 may be reduced while the display is activated.

In one embodiment, the size of the dummy light emitting part 403 may be substantially the same as that of the fourth light emitting part 404 . In addition, the size of the dummy light emitting portion 403 may be variously changed.
