## Background
RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) to Korean Patent Application Serial number 10-2014-0148622, which was filed on Oct. 29, 2014 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
BACKGROUND
Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an antenna device that implements a wireless communication function and an electronic device having the antenna device.
Wireless communication techniques have been implemented in a variety of ways including commercialized mobile communication network connection, and recently, a wireless Local Area Network (w-LAN) represented by Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth, Near Field Communication (NFC), and so forth. A mobile communication service, evolving from the 1st-Generation (1G) mobile communication service focusing on voice communication to the 4th-Generation (4G) mobile communication network, provides Internet and multimedia services. A future next-generation mobile communication service is expected to be provided in ultra-high frequency bands over several tens of GHz. For example, a mobile communication terminal complying with Long Term Evolution (LTE) based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Projection (3GPP) commonly used around the world as one of leading standards of the 4G mobile communication basically supports bands of 700 MHz-960 MHz and 2.5 GHz-2.7 GHz.
As communication standards such as short-range wireless communication or Bluetooth have been activated, electronic devices, for example, mobile communication terminals, have mounted antenna devices operating in various different frequency bands. For example, a 4G mobile communication service operates in frequency bands of 700 MHz, 1.8 GHz, 2.1 GHz, and so forth, Wi-Fi, although slightly varying with rules, operates in frequency bands of 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and the like, and Bluetooth operates in a frequency band of 2.45 GHz.
A mobile communication terminal also needs an antenna device to enable wireless communication. The antenna device is installed and sufficiently spaced apart from the other circuit devices to suppress interference with the other circuit devices during transmission and reception of a high-frequency signal. The antenna device is embedded in the mobile communication terminal.
The antenna device has requirements including superior radiation performance and large bandwidth in a small volume to meet the design tendency of the mobile communication terminal towards slimness and smaller sizes. In particular, for an embedded antenna device, the key point of antenna design is achieving superior radiation performance without changing the overall size of the antenna device, because the space for mounting the antenna device in the mobile communication terminal is becoming smaller and smaller.
Thus, a technique for including an antenna device in a display of the mobile communication terminal has been developed. Herein, the display may be usually implemented with a touch panel.
However, when the antenna device is embedded in the touch panel of the mobile communication terminal, a touch function of the touch panel and a radiation performance of the antenna device degrade.
That is, when the antenna device is inserted into the touch panel, touch sensitivity degrades due to the formation of additional capacitance. Radiation performance, one of the most important factors of an antenna, also degrades.
The above information is presented as background information only to assist with an understanding of the present disclosure. No determination has been made, and no assertion is made, as to whether any of the above might be applicable as prior art with regard to the present disclosure.

The electronic device 10 may include a bus 110, a processor 120, a memory 130, an Input/Output (I/O) interface 140, a display module 150, and a communication module 160. The bus 110 is a circuit for interconnecting the components of an electronic device 10 and for allowing communication (e.g., a control message) between the components described above.
The processor 120 receives a command from other components (e.g., the memory 130, the I/O interface 140, the display 150, and the communication module 160) through the bus 110, decrypts the received command, and performs an operation or processes data according to the decrypted command.
The memory 130 stores a command or data received from or generated by the processor 120 or other components (e.g., the input/output interface 140, the display module 150, and the communication module 160). The memory 130 may include programming modules, for example, a kernel 131, a middleware 132, an Application Programming Interface (API) 133, or at least one application 134. These programming modules may include software, firmware, hardware, or a combination of at least two of them.
The kernel 131 controls or manages system resources (e.g., the bus 110, the processor 120, and the memory 130) used to execute an operation or a function implemented in the other programming modules, for example, the middleware 132, the API 133, and the at least one application 134. The kernel 131 provides an interface through which the middleware 132, the API 133, or the at least one application 134 accesses a separate component of the electronic device 10 to control the separate component.
The middleware 132 performs a relay operation such that the API 133 or the at least one application 134 exchanges data in communication with the kernel 131. The middleware 132 controls (e.g., scheduling or load balancing) task requests received from the at least one application 134, by using a method of assigning a priority for using a system resource (e.g., the bus 110, the processor 120, or the memory 130) of the electronic device 10 to, for example, at least one of the applications 134.
The API 133 is an interface through which the at least one application 134 controls a function provided by the kernel 131 or the middleware 132, and may include at least one interface or function (e.g., command) for, for example, file control, window control, image processing or character control.
According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the at least one application 134 may include a Short Message Service (SMS)/Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) application, an e-mail application, a calendar application, an alarm application, a healthcare application (e.g., an application for measuring an exercise volume or a blood sugar level), or an environment information application (e.g., an application for providing air pressure, humidity, or temperature information). Additionally or alternatively, the at least one application 134 may include an application associated with information exchange between the electronic device 10 and the external electronic device 104. The application associated with information exchange may include a notification relay application for relaying particular information to the external electronic device 104 or a device management application for managing the external electronic device 104.
For example, the notification relay application may include a function of relaying notification information generated in another application (e.g., a SMS/MMS application, an e-mail application, a healthcare management application, or an environment information application) of the electronic device 10 to the external electronic device (e.g., the external electronic device 104). Additionally or alternatively, the notification relay application may, for example, receive notification information from the external electronic device (e.g., the external electronic device 104) and provide the notification information to a user. The device management application may manage (e.g., install, delete, or update) a function of at least a part of the external electronic device (e.g., the external electronic device 104) communicating with the electronic device 10 (e.g., turn-on/turn-off of the external electronic device (or a part thereof) or brightness (or resolution) adjustment of the display), an application operating on the external electronic device, or a service (e.g., a call service or a message service) provided on the external electronic device.
According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the at least one application 134 may include an application designated according to an attribute (e.g., a type) of the external electronic device (e.g., the external electronic device 104). For example, if the external electronic device is an MP3 player, the at least one application 134 may include an application associated with music playback. Similarly, if the external electronic device is a mobile medical device, the at least one application 134 may include an application associated with healthcare. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the at least one application 134 may include at least one of application designated in the electronic device 10 and an application received from another electronic device (e.g., the server 106 or the external electronic device (e.g., the external electronic device 104)).
The I/O interface 140 may deliver a command or data input/output from a user through an input/output device (e.g., a sensor, a keyboard, or a touch screen) to the processor 120, the memory 130, and the communication module 160, for example, through the bus 110. For example, the I/O interface 140 may provide data regarding a user's touch input through the touch screen to the processor 120. The I/O interface 140 may output the command or data, received from the processor 120, the memory 130, and the communication module 160 through the bus 110, through an I/O device (e.g., a speaker or a display). The I/O interface 140 may include an audio module.
The display module 150 may display various contents (e.g., a text, an image, video, an icon, or a symbol) to users.
The communication module 160 sets up communication, for example, between the electronic device 10 and an external device (e.g., a first external electronic device 104 or a server 106). For example, the communication module 160 is connected to a network 162 through wireless or wired communication to communicate with the external device.

The size of the mesh-grid regions 221 and 231 may vary to improve the visibility and touch function of the touch panel 151. That is, a size A1 of the mesh-grid regions 221 and 231 may be small as shown in FIG. 14A, and a size A2 of the mesh-grid regions 221 and 231 may be large as shown in FIG. 14B.

That is, the first antenna portions 220 and the second antenna portions 230 are disposed on the top surface and the bottom surface of the film member 210 and at the same time, are discontinuously disposed in a spaced-apart relation, such that when the touch panel 151 is touched, the touch panel 151 may prevent cross talk and additional capacitance from being generated between the first electrode 151a (of FIG. 4) and the second electrode 151b (of FIG. 4) provided on the touch panel by the first antenna portions 220 and the second antenna portions 230 that are discontinuously disposed in a spaced-apart relation.

FIG. 12 illustrates another example of the first antenna portions 220 and the second antenna portions 230 according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.
As shown in FIG. 12, the first antenna portions 220 and the second antenna portions 230 are disposed on the top surface and the bottom surface of the film member 210. That is, the mesh-grid regions 221 and 231 of the first and second antenna portions 220 and 230 are discontinuously disposed in a spaced-apart relation on both the top surface and the bottom surface of the film member 210 by the gap 260.
Adjacent to an area where the first antenna portions 220 and the second antenna portions 230 are disposed, the first antenna portions 220a and the second antenna portions 230a may be further disposed.
The first antenna portions 220a are disposed on the top surface of the film member 210, and the second antenna portions 230a are disposed on the bottom surface of the film member 210. That is, the mesh-grid regions 221a of the first antenna portions 220a, which have the linear or curved direction, are disposed on the top surface of the film member 210, and the mesh-grid regions 231a of the second antenna portions 230a, which have the right angle or are inclined at the predetermined angle with respect to the mesh-grid direction of the top surface, are discontinuously disposed in a spaced-apart relation from the mesh-grid regions 221a having the linear or curved direction, on the bottom surface of the film member 210.
That is, the first antenna portions 220a and the second antenna portions 230a are disposed on the top surface and the bottom surface of the film member 210 and at the same time, are discontinuously disposed in a spaced-apart relation.
Thus, the first and second antenna portions 220 and 230 and the first and second antenna portions 220a and 230a may be disposed together on both the top surface and the bottom surface of the film member 210.
As shown in FIG. 13, the first and second antenna portions 220 and 230 are disposed on the top surface of the film member 210 (of FIG. 4), and the first and second antenna portions 220a and 230a are disposed adjacent to and in a non-overlapping manner with the first and second antenna portions 220 and 230. The first and second antenna portions 220a and 230a may be disposed on the bottom surface of the first and second antenna portions 220 and 230 in an overlapping manner with the first and second antenna portions 220 and 230.
Thus, the first and second antenna portions 220 and 230 and the first and second antenna portions 220a and 230a may overlap or may not overlap both the top surface and the bottom surface of the film member 210 (of FIG. 4).
A description will now be made of detailed types and operations of the display 150 (e.g., in FIG. 4).
First, a plurality of display (e.g., display 150 in FIG. 4) layers may include a touch panel, and may further include a display panel including any one of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel, a Light Emitting Diode (LED) panel, an Organic LED (OLED) panel, and an Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED) panel, under the touch panel 151. In the current embodiment, the display 150 may also be applied to another display other than the above described configuration. In the current embodiment, a touch panel 151 will be described as an example.
As shown in FIG. 4, the touch panel 151 refers to a panel that recognizes coordinates of a particular position on the screen, touched with human's fingers or other objects without using a separate input tool or device such as a keyboard, a mouse, or the like and executes a command of software designated corresponding to the touched position to process a particular function. A touch panel technique may be classified into a resistive type and a capacitive type. To implement a capacitive touch screen, the first electrode 151a includes a driving line (Tx) electrode and the second electrode 151b including a sensing line (Rx) electrode need to be configured independently. The first electrode 151a and the second electrode 151b may form a pattern on a single layer or different layers. Intersections between the first electrode 151a and the second electrode 151b have to be separated from one another by an insulator, and each intersection forms one coordinate (X, Y).
The touch panel 151 may be classified into one of an InfraRed (IR) type, a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) type, an ElectroMagnetic (EM) type, and an ElectroMagnetic Resonance (EMR) type as well as the resistive type and the capacitive type, depending on driving principles. In the current embodiment, the touch panel 151 of the capacitive type mentioned above will be described.
For example, the first electrode 151a and the second electrode 151b may include ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) in which stannic oxide (SnO2) is added to indium oxide (In2O3). ITO has higher resistivity and higher transmissivity than existing metallic materials (copper, silver, and so forth). Moreover, the first electrode 151a and the second electrode 151b may also be formed of a conductive material such as metal mesh, AgNW, or the like as well as ITO. The first electrode 151a and the second electrode 151b may also other materials as well as the above-disclosed conductive material.
Moreover, the shape of the first electrode 151a and the second electrode 151b may include a diamond, a mesh, a snowflake, Kyle, a branch line, a redwood, a diamond ring, a rose, and the like. The first electrode 151a and the second electrode 151b may also have other various shapes as well as the disclosed shape.
As mentioned in FIG. 4, the touch panel 151 of the capacitive type detects a position touched on the display 150 by using a change in capacitance between the sensing line electrode (second electrode) 151b and the driving line electrode (first electrode) 151a. For example, at multiple intersections formed by multiple second electrodes Rx 151b arranged along an X-axis direction (a horizontal-axis direction) and multiple first electrodes Tx 151a arranged along a Y-axis direction (a vertical-axis direction), a capacitance is sequentially measured to sense a change in the capacitance at a particular point. That is, in the touch panel 151 of the capacitive type, when a signal is applied from the first electrode Tx 151a, the other first electrode Tx 151a is maintained at ground GND and all the second electrodes Rx 151b simultaneously read current induced by the capacitance. Next, the signal is applied to the first electrode Tx 151a, and the ground is applied to a previous electrode and the other electrodes, and in this way, the sequential process is performed.
However, if the first and second antenna portions 220 and 230 where the gap 260 is not formed are provided on the touch panel 151 of the capacitive type, additional capacitance is formed due to driving of the first and second antenna portions 220 and 230, failing touch recognition of the touch panel 151. As a result, the touch function of the touch panel 151 degrades.
Therefore, in the current embodiment, the first antenna portion 220 and the second antenna portion 230 completely discontinuously disposed in a spaced-apart relation by the gap 260 are provided on the touch panel 151 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. In this state, if the touch panel 151 is touched, the touch panel 151 may prevent cross talk and additional capacitance from being generated between the first electrode 151a and the second electrode 151b by the first antenna portions 220 and the second antenna portions 230 that are discontinuously disposed in a spaced-apart relation. Thus, a stable signal is generated between the first electrode 151a and the second electrode 151b and at the same time, the signal applied from the first electrode Tx 151a is read by the second electrode Rx 151b, improving the touch function.
Moreover, the first antenna portions 220 and the second antenna portions 230 being discontinuously disposed in a spaced-apart relation prevents degradation of radiation performance of the antenna in transmission and reception of the signal of the antenna and also improves the performance of the antenna. Furthermore, the touch function and the antenna radiation performance of the touch panel 151 may be implemented at the same time, and the visibility of the touch panel 151 may be maintained.
The touch panel 151 of the capacitive type may be embedded with the first and second antenna portions 220 and 230 without designing a separate touch Integrated Circuit (IC) 310 (FIG. 13), thus reducing the manufacturing cost of the display 150.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 13, in the touch panel 151 (of FIG. 4), the first and second antenna portions 220 and 230 and the first and second antenna portions 220a and 230a may be disposed on the top surface of the film member 210 (of FIG. 4) or may overlap the top surface and the bottom surface of the film member 210 (of FIG. 4).
In this state, a Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) 300 is electrically connected with the first and second antenna portions 220 and 230 and the first and second antenna portions 220a and 230a, and is driven to transmit and receive a signal in a corresponding frequency band of each antenna portion.
The RFIC 300 controls driving and is under the control of a controller 320.
Herein, wireless communication of the antenna portion may include and on one of the 2nd-Generation (2G), 3rd-Generation (3G), 4th-Generation (4G), 5th-Generation (5G), WiFi, BT, GPS, NFC, ZigBee, or the like, and the wireless communication has a corresponding frequency band. A detailed frequency band has already been described above and thus will not be described at this time.
The touch IC 310 senses a touch sensitivity change of the touch panel 151 (of FIG. 4) for the corresponding frequency band and at the same time, automatically adjusts its touch sensitivity, when driving the first and second antenna portions 220 and 230.
The controller 320 controls the touch IC 310 to automatically adjust the touch sensitivity of the touch IC 310.
Thus, the touch panel 151 (of FIG. 4) may provide a stable touch function.

As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the mesh-grid regions 221, 221a, 231, and 231a are electrically connected by the first connection portion 240 and the second connection portion 250.
Referring to FIG. 17, at one end of the mesh-grid regions 221, 221a, 231, and 231a, the first feeder 410 and the second feeder 420 may be provided on the side surface 401 and the side surface 402 of the edge of the display 150 (of FIG. 4). The first feeder 410 and the second feeder 420 may supply power to operate the antenna through electrical connection or electric coupling between the circuit board (not shown) provided on the electronic device 10 (of FIG. 1) and the mesh-grid regions.
Thus, the first antenna portions 220 and the second antenna portion 230 supply power to the mesh-grid regions 221, 221a, 231, and 231a through the first feeder 410 and the second feeder 420, thus transmitting and receiving a signal of the antenna and driving the antenna without radiation performance degradation.
