Abstract
According to one embodiment, a sensor-equipped display device includes first electrodes and a detection electrode. The first electrodes constitute sensor drive electrodes by being supplied with sensor drive signals separately and sequentially or sensor drive electrodes by simultaneously supplying the sensor drive signals to the first electrodes adjacent to each other. A width of the sensor drive electrode including the first electrode on the edge is smaller than a width of the other sensor drive electrode not including the first electrode on the edge.
Claims20
A sensor-equipped display device, comprising:
- first electrodes disposed in a display area, arranged in a first direction and spaced apart from each other, and elongating in a second direction intersecting the first direction;
- and
- a detection electrode comprising a body portion opposed to the first electrodes, and an expanded portion which is opposed to the first electrode located on an outermost side, the expanded portion connected to the body portion and being wider than the body portion,
- the first electrodes constituting sensor drive electrodes by being supplied with sensor drive signals separately and sequentially or sensor drive electrodes by simultaneously supplying the sensor drive signals to the first electrodes adjacent to each other,
- a width of the sensor drive electrode including the first electrode on the edge being smaller than a width of the other sensor drive electrode not including the first electrode on the edge.
