1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a display layer configured to display images; and
a sensor layer on the display layer and comprising a sensing region and a non-sensing region;
wherein the sensor layer comprises:
first sensing electrodes arranged in a first direction and extending on the sensing region in a second direction crossing the first direction;
second sensing electrodes arranged in the second direction and extending on the sensing region in the first direction;
first sensing signal lines connected to ends of the first sensing electrodes, respectively; and
second sensing signal lines connected to the second sensing electrodes respectively, through a contact part overlapping the sensing region, and extending to overlap a plurality of the second sensing electrodes in the sensing region,
wherein
the second sensing signal lines have a same length in the sensing region, wherein the first sensing electrodes comprise:
first sensing patterns arranged in the second direction;
first connection patterns on a same layer from the first sensing patterns to connect the first sensing patterns, which are adjacent to each other in the second direction, to each other; and
the second sensing electrodes comprise second sensing patterns arranged in the first direction, and first connection patterns on a different layer from the second sensing patterns to connect the second sensing patterns, which are adjacent to each other in the first direction, to each other.
