Abstract
A display module includes a display panel and an input sensing unit. The display panel includes a base surface. The input sensing unit is directly disposed on the base surface. The input sensing unit includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and an insulation layer. The first electrode extends in a first direction. The first electrode includes a first opening area. The second electrode extends in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The second electrode is longer than the first electrode. The second electrode includes a second opening area of a size greater than a size of the first opening area. The insulation layer is configured to insulate the first electrode from the second electrode.
