Abstract
A touch panel for a display may include a touch sensor with a plurality of electrode traces. A first portion of the plurality of electrode traces may form sensing lines configured to receive touch input. The touch sensor includes an edge dummy area between an edge of the touch sensor and an electrode trace of a remaining portion of the plurality of electrode traces. The edge dummy area may be located outside of the sensing lines. The touch panel may further include an antenna with a radiation structure and a ground structure. The radiation structure may be located within a routing traces area outside of the touch sensor. The ground structure may be located within the edge dummy area. The ground structure may include an electrode trace of the plurality of electrode traces located within the edge dummy area of the touch sensor.
