Abstract
The present disclosure provides a display device having a touch sensor for reducing the size of a bezel area. The display device having a touch sensor is configured such that touch electrodes and touch lines are disposed in a mesh shape on an encapsulation layer encapsulating light-emitting elements and such that some of the touch lines are connected to a touch-driving circuit via an upper bezel area, thereby reducing the size of left and right bezel areas.
Claims31
A display device comprising:
- a substrate comprising an active area and a bezel area, the bezel area including a bending area and a pad area;
- light-emitting elements disposed in the active area;
- an encapsulation layer including at least one of an inorganic layer or an organic layer, disposed on the light-emitting elements;
- a plurality of touch electrodes in a mesh shape disposed on the encapsulation layer;
- a plurality of touch lines in the mesh shape disposed on the encapsulation layer and connected to respective ones of the plurality of touch electrodes, the plurality of touch lines having at least a first portion extending in a first direction and a second portion extending in a second direction different from the first direction in the active area;
- and
- a touch buffer layer disposed between the encapsulation layer and the plurality of touch electrodes, wherein the touch buffer layer covers a side surface of the encapsulation layer and extends to the pad area.
