A display device comprises a display panel configured to display an image. A fingerprint sensor is under the display panel and is configured to sense a fingerprint. An impact mitigating layer partially surrounds the fingerprint sensor and is configured to absorb impacts or pressure to the display device. A shielding layer is between the display panel and the fingerprint sensor and the impact mitigating layer. The shielding layer blocks at least one of heat, electromagnetic interference, or light.

Display device

Provided is a display device that includes a display panel defined with an active area displaying an image and an inactive area outside the active area, the display panel including a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; a plurality of pixels on the first surface of the substrate in the active area, each pixel including a pixel drive circuit; a transparent conductive layer on the second surface of the substrate covering the active area and a part of the inactive area; and a metal pattern on the second surface of the substrate in the inactive area, the metal pattern electrically connected to the transparent conductive layer, receiving an electrical signal and having a lower resistance than the transparent conductive layer, wherein the metal pattern serves as a conductive path to reduce a potential difference with respect to the electrical signal in an entire area of the transparent conductive layer compared to a display device without the metal pattern.

Disclosed is a single flexible member that electrically connects a display panel and a touch panel to an external circuit. The flexible member comprises: a first connecting portion located at a first surface of the flexible member, having a display pad connecting unit configured to connect with a displaying element in the display panel, and a touch pad connecting unit configured to connect with a touch sensing element in the touch panel; a second connecting portion located at a second surface of the flexible member opposite to the first connecting portion, having a single connector configured to connect with the external circuit to control at least one of the displaying element and the touch sensing element; and a touch integrated circuit on the second surface of the flexible member, wherein the touch integrated circuit transmit a driving signal to the touch sensing element.
