Display device having directional antenna

摘要

A display device includes a display panel and a directional antenna. The directional antenna is disposed behind or under the display panel for radiating or receiving wireless signals. The radiating path of the directional antenna is at a specific angle with respect to a horizontal plane for receiving surrounding wireless signals. Or, the signals radiated from the directional antenna may be reflected or refracted to regions above or in front of the display device by a back-side barrier or penetrate a back-side barrier which does not cause large electromagnetic degradation, thereby receiving wireless signals originated from the front-side or back-side of the display device.

主权项

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a directional antenna, including:
a substrate being a double-sided substrate including a first metal layer and a second metal layer;a first transmitting element and a second transmitting element disposed on the substrate along a first direction for transmitting signals;a first radiating element disposed on the substrate along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and having a first end connected to the first transmitting element for providing a first radiation pattern of a first band and for reflecting a second radiation pattern of a second band towards the first direction;a second radiating element disposed on the substrate along the second direction and connected to the second transmitting element for providing the second radiation pattern of the second band and for directing the first radiation pattern of the first band along the first direction;a first reflecting element disposed on the substrate along the second direction for reflecting the first radiation pattern of the first band towards the first direction;a second reflecting element disposed on the substrate along the second direction and connected to the second transmitting element for reflecting the radiation pattern of the first band towards the first direction, wherein the first radiating element, the first reflecting element, and the second reflecting element are separate and distinct structures;a first terminal structure having a first end connected to a second end of the first radiating element, and a second end closer to the first reflecting element than the first end of the first terminal structure, the first radiating element and the first terminal structure forming a first obtuse angle;a third radiating element disposed on the substrate along the second direction and having a first end connected to the second transmitting element for providing the first radiation pattern of the first band;a fourth radiating element disposed on the substrate along the second direction and connected to the second transmitting element for providing the second radiation pattern of the second band and for directing the first radiation pattern of the first band along the first direction; anda second terminal structure having a first end connected to a second end of the third radiating element, and a second end closer to the second reflecting element than the first end of the second terminal structure, the third radiating element and the second terminal structure forming a second obtuse angle,wherein the first radiating element, the second radiating element, and the first reflecting element are disposed on the first metal layer of the substrate, and the third radiating element, the fourth radiating element, and the second reflecting element are disposed on the second metal layer of the substrate.
