Abstract
A flat panel display having an integrated touch screen panel directly formed on a sealing thin film is disclosed. In the display, sensing lines of the touch screen panel are formed to extend to a substrate of the display panel, on which organic light emitting elements are formed, so that the touch screen panel and the display panel are connected to a flexible printed circuit board, thereby simplifying manufacturing processes and decreasing product cost.

A display device, comprising:
- a substrate comprising a first area having a pixel area and a second area adjacent to the first area;
- pixels in the pixel area of the substrate;
- a sealing thin film covering the first area of the substrate;
- sensing cells formed on the sealing thin film and configured to sense a touch;
- sensing lines coupled to the sensing cells and formed on the sealing thin film;
- and
- a driving circuit formed on the second area of the substrate,
- wherein:

- and
- the sensing lines comprise:
- a first group concentrated in a first line area of the second area of the substrate;
- and
- a second group concentrated in a second line area of the second area of the substrate;
- the first group of the sensing lines and the second group of the sensing lines extend in the second area of the substrate with the driving circuit interposed therebetween;
- and
- the sealing thin film comprises at least one organic layer and at least one inorganic layer.
