1. An electronic device comprising:
a first housing including a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;
a second housing including a third surface and a fourth surface opposite to the third surface;
a hinge structure, comprising a hinge, capable of being switched between at least an unfolding state in which a direction in which the first surface faces and a direction in which the third surface faces are the same, and a folding state in which the first surface and the third surface face each other, by rotatably coupling the first housing and the second housing;
a display disposed above at least the first surface and the third surface across the hinge structure; and
a sensor panel, disposed between at least one of the first surface and the third surface, and the display, and configured to receive an input from an electronic pen, and
wherein the sensor panel includes:
a supporting layer, including a polymer inclusive material, and being in contact with an adhesive material disposed on at least one of the first surface and the third surface;
a shielding layer disposed on the supporting layer;
a first insulating layer disposed on the shielding layer;
a first conductive pattern disposed on the first insulating layer;
a second insulating layer disposed on the first conductive layer;
a second conductive pattern disposed on the second insulating layer; and
a third insulating layer, disposed on the second conductive pattern, and facing a surface of the display, and
wherein a thickness of at least one of the first insulating layer and the third insulating layer is greater than a thickness of the second insulating layer.
