Abstract
A display device includes a display panel having a display area where subpixels for emitting light in different colors are arranged in a matrix shape, the display panel having a peripheral area where terminals and a drive circuit are formed; and metal lines for touch sensing on the display panel. The display panel has a non-rectangular shape with a curve part of a contour in a plan view. The metal lines extend in at least two directions and cross at portions to form a mesh shape. The subpixels include some subpixels arranged stepwise in an outline area of the display area next to the curve part of the contour. None of the metal lines is formed on the subpixels arranged stepwise.
