1. An electronic device comprising:
a display unit comprising a hole area, an active area surrounding the hole area, and a peripheral area adjacent to the active area;
a sensing unit disposed on the display unit and comprising a first sensing electrode and a second sensing electrode;
a module hole through which the display unit and the sensing unit overlap the hole area; and
a crack detection circuit comprising a crack detection pattern disposed in the hole area and surrounding the module hole, a crack detection line disposed in the peripheral area, and connection lines disposed in the peripheral area and connecting the crack detection pattern and the crack detection line,
wherein at least one of the first or second sensing electrodes comprises:
main patterns disposed in the active area:
neighboring patterns having a shape different from a shape of the main patterns; and
a routing pattern disposed in the peripheral area and connecting the neighboring patterns that are spaced apart with the module hole in between, and wherein the connection lines and the routing pattern intersect on a plane.
