ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING OPTICAL SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17968314 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING OPTICAL SENSOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with a display panel and optical sensor. The display panel is visible from the outside and has a display region and a sensor region. The optical sensor is located below the display panel in the sensor region. The display panel includes pixels, driving circuit units, and encapsulation units for the sensor and display regions. The encapsulation units have different stacked structures.
- The electronic device has a display panel and at least one optical sensor.
- The display panel is visible from the outside and has a display region and a sensor region.
- The optical sensor is located below the display panel in the sensor region.
- The display panel includes pixels, driving circuit units, and encapsulation units.
- The encapsulation units have different stacked structures for the sensor and display regions.

Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display panel and at least one optical sensor. The display panel is disposed in an internal space of a housing so as to be visible from the outside and includes a display region and a sensor region. The at least one optical sensor may correspond, below the display panel, to the sensor region. The display panel includes a plurality of pixels disposed on a substrate, a plurality of driving circuit units for driving the plurality of pixels, a first encapsulation unit for encapsulating the sensor region, and a second encapsulation unit for encapsulating the display region. The first encapsulation unit and the second encapsulation unit may be different in terms of the stacked structure of layers.
