A set of wires 311 may be disposed on the transparent substrate 310 . For example, a set of wires 311 may be printed on one side of the transparent substrate 310 . For another example, the set of wires 311 may be fixed on one side of the transparent substrate 310 by being crimped or attached. It may be configured to transmit only a portion of external light directed toward the first surface 231 to the second surface 232 .

Some of the set of wires 311 can be used as an antenna, and the antenna can be electrically connected to a processor (e.g., processor 120 in FIG. 1, a communications processor, or wireless communications circuitry) via a flexible printed circuit board 313. Flexible printed circuit board 313 may extend from the edge of display 230 where set of wires 311 is disposed to bridge 213 or temple 215 .

The wearable device 200, such as AR glasses according to the above-described embodiment, may require a space in which many antennas (e.g., Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity), BT (Bluetooth), LTE (long term evolution), or 5G) are installed for communication. Bulky components such as batteries and printed circuit boards are placed on the temple 215, which provides most of the space of the frame 210, and sensors are placed on the rim 211 or bridge 213. Mounting space for the antenna may be insufficient. The wearable device 200 according to an embodiment may secure a mounting space for the antenna by arranging the antenna within the display 230 or the transparent member 320 .

According to an embodiment, in order to place various components (eg, a battery, a substrate, a memory, or a camera) within the frame 210 to drive the wearable device 200, some components may be disposed outside the frame 210. The wearable device 200 may use a part (eg, the first conductive pattern 250) of the set of wires 311 as an antenna. The first conductive pattern 250 may be disposed within the display 230 or the transparent member 320 instead of the frame 210 . The first conductive pattern 250 used as an antenna can reduce electrical interference with components disposed on the frame 210 .

According to an embodiment, when a user wears the wearable device, the wearable device 200 is disposed in an area other than the frame 210 that comes into contact with a part of the user's body (eg, the display 230 or the transparent member 320), so that impedance change due to the body can be reduced and antenna performance degradation can be reduced.

An amount of light reflected by the wires of the second conductive pattern 730 disposed in an area of the second conductive pattern 730 that does not overlap with the ground pattern 740 may be less than an amount of light reflected by the second conductive pattern 730 and the ground pattern 740 in an area overlapping the ground pattern 740. In order to compensate for the reduced amount of light transmitted through the transparent member 701, i1, which is a distance between wires of the second conductive pattern 730 disposed in an area overlapping the first area 740A of the ground pattern 740, may be greater than i2. The size of the openings formed by the fifth set of wires 6291 and the sixth set of wires 6292 disposed in the second region 740B may be smaller than the size of the openings formed by the fifth set of wires 6291 and the sixth set of wires 6292 disposed in the first region 740A.

According to an embodiment, in the second area 740B of the ground pattern 740, light incident to the transparent member 701 may be reflected by the set of second ground pattern wires 7412 of the ground pattern 740. The amount of light reflected from the second area 740B may be less than that reflected from the first area 740A because only the set of second ground pattern wires 7412 reflects incident light. In order to compensate for the amount of reflected light, i1, the distance between the second set of ground pattern wires 7412 of the ground pattern 740 disposed in the second area 740B, may be greater than i2, the distance between the set of first ground pattern wires 7411 of the ground pattern 740 disposed in the first area 740A.

The first wires 7211, 7212, and 721n of the first conductive pattern 720 disposed in the third region 740C may be disposed at intervals of a distance of i1. For example, the size of the openings between the fifth set of wires 6291 and the sixth set of wires 6292 disposed in the third region 740C may be the same as the size of the openings between the first set of wires 621 and the second set of wires 622.

According to an embodiment, in an area where a conductive pattern disposed on one surface 711 of the transparent substrate 710 overlaps a conductive pattern disposed on the other surface 712, the conductive patterns may be disposed to widen the distance between the conductive patterns or to widen the space of the mesh formed by the conductive patterns. Due to the widened spacing of the conductive patterns, the transparent member 701 may provide a structure capable of reducing a difference in the amount of light transmitted from the outside according to the arrangement of the conductive patterns.
