Abstract
An input sensing unit designed to make it possible to prevent a failure due to a foreign substance, and a display device having the input sensing unit.
Claims36
An input sensing unit comprising:
- sensing electrodes;
- and
- a plurality of signal lines provided in the peripheral area of the input sensing unit coupled to the sensing electrodes and spaced apart from each other,
- wherein each of the plurality of signal lines comprises disconnected metal patterns separated by insulated spacing parts and arranged in a straight line in a direction in which the signal lines extend, intersecting another direction in which the signal lines are arranged and spaced apart from each other, and
- wherein each of the metal patterns of one signal line of the plurality of signal lines laterally overlaps the spacing part between metal patterns of another signal line adjacent to the one signal line in the another direction in which the signal lines are arranged and spaced apart from each other, and is offset from the spacing part in the direction in which the signal lines extend.

A display device comprising:
- a display panel including a display area and a non-display area adjacent to the display area;
- and
- an input sensing unit provided on the display panel,
- wherein:
- the input sensing unit comprises:
- sensing electrodes;
- and
- a plurality of signal lines provided in the peripheral area of the input sensing unit coupled to the sensing electrodes and spaced apart from each other;
- each of the plurality of signal lines comprises disconnected metal patterns separated by insulated spacing parts and arranged in a straight line in a direction in which the signal lines extend, intersecting another direction in which the signal lines are arranged and spaced apart from each other;
- and
- each of the metal patterns of one signal line of the plurality of signal lines laterally overlaps the spacing part between metal patterns of another signal line adjacent to the one signal line in the another direction in which the signal lines are arranged and spaced apart from each other, and is offset from the spacing part in the direction in which the signal lines extend.

An input sensing unit provided on a display panel, the input sensing unit comprising:
- a sensing electrode;
- a signal line provided in the peripheral area of the input sensing unit coupled to the sensing electrode;
- and
- an insulating part disposed over the display panel and overlapping the display panel,
- wherein:
- the signal line comprises at least two line parts, each of which comprises a first line and a second line with an insulating part interposed therebetween, the first and second line being electrically coupled to each other through a contact hole of the insulating part;
- each of the line parts extends in a first direction, and the line parts adjacent to each other are arranged and spaced apart from each other in a second direction intersecting the first direction;
- each of the line parts comprises disconnected metal patterns oriented in the first direction, and an insulated spacing part suitable for spacing the adjacent metal patterns apart from each other in the first direction and arranged in a straight line together with the metal patterns;
- and
- each of the metal patterns at least partially laterally overlaps the spacing part of a line part that is adjacent, in the second direction, to the line part including the metal pattern, and is offset from the spacing part in the first direction.
