1. A portable communication device comprising:
a touchscreen display including a touch sensing layer having an opening formed therein; and
a sensor disposed as at least partially overlapped with the opening when viewed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the touchscreen display,
wherein the touch sensing layer includes:
a first touch electrode disposed at a first side with respect to the opening;
a second touch electrode disposed at a second side different from the first side with respect to the opening; and
a connection line connecting the first touch electrode and the second touch electrode along at least a part of a boundary of the opening,
wherein the connecting line comprises:
a first part having a first length and a first width, the first part located closer to the first touch electrode than to the second touch electrode; and
a second part having a second length and a second width wider than the first width, the second part located closer to the second touch electrode than to the first touch electrode, and
wherein the first part and the second part together connect the first touch electrode and the second touch electrode.
