Abstract
A display device includes a display panel and a touch sensing unit including touch signal lines (TSL) and sensor columns (SCs) including sensor blocks (SBs). Each SB includes a first sensor (FS) and i (i being ≥2) second sensors (SSs). The TSLs include: first signal lines (FSLs) respectively connected to some of the FSs, a portion of each of the FSLs extending to a first end of a corresponding SC from a corresponding sensor of the some of the FSs; second signal lines (SSLs) respectively connected to other FSs, a portion of each of the SSLs extending to a second end of the corresponding SC from a corresponding sensor of the other FSs; and third signal lines connecting a j-th (j being ≤1) SS of an n-th (n being ≥1) SB to an (i-j+1)-th SS of an (n+1)-th SB.
Claims1
A display device comprising:
- a display panel;
- and
- a touch sensing unit on the display panel, the touch sensing unit comprising touch signal lines and sensor columns comprising k (k being a natural number greater than or equal to three) sensor blocks arranged in a first direction,
- wherein each of the k sensor blocks comprises:
- a first sensor;
- and
- (i being a natural number greater than or equal to three) second sensors arranged in the first direction,
- wherein the touch signal lines comprise:
- first signal lines respectively connected to the first sensors;
- and
- second signal lines comprising first portions and second portions spaced apart from the first portions,
- wherein the first portions connect a j-th (j being a natural number greater than or equal to is one and less than or equal to i) second sensor of the i second sensors of an nth (n being a natural number greater than or equal to one) sensor block of the k sensor blocks to an (i-j+1)-th second sensor of the i second sensors of an (n+1)-th sensor block of the k sensor blocks,
- wherein the second portions connect a j-th second sensor of the i second sensors of the n+1)-th sensor block of the k sensors blocks to an (i-j+1)-th second sensor of the i second sensors of an (n+2)-th sensor block of the k sensor blocks,
- wherein the first portions are disposed at one side of the i second sensors of the n-th sensor block and the i second sensors of the (n+1)-th sensor block, and
- wherein the second portions are disposed at another one side of the i second sensors of the (n+1)-th sensor block and the i second sensors of the (n+2)-th sensor block, the one side being different from the another one side.
