1. An electronic device comprising:
a display panel including an active area in which data is displayed and an edge area disposed along an outer circumferential surface of the active area;
an opaque printed layer surrounding the edge area;
a substrate, disposed on the display panel, and having a first area above the active area of the display panel and a second area above the edge area of the display panel;
a metal mesh electrode pattern disposed on the first area and the second area; and
a plurality of trace wires disposed on the substrate and electrically coupled to the metal mesh electrode pattern,
wherein the metal mesh electrode pattern includes:
a first electrode pattern having a lattice structure; and
a second electrode pattern positioned above the first electrode pattern and having a lattice structure, the first and second electrode patterns being disposed to intersect with each other, and
wherein a disconnection part is disposed at at least a partial area of the metal mesh electrode pattern disposed on the second area.
