Abstract
A touch panel includes first touch electrodes, second touch electrodes, and third touch electrodes. The first touch electrodes include sub electrodes spaced apart from one another in a first direction. The second touch electrodes extend in a second direction crossing the first direction. The second touch electrodes are spaced apart from one another in the first direction. The third touch electrodes extend in the second direction and are spaced apart from one another in the first direction. The third touch electrodes are shaped differently than the second touch electrodes.
Claims31
A touch panel comprising:
- first touch electrodes comprising sub electrodes spaced apart from one another in a first direction;
- second touch electrodes extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, the second touch electrodes being spaced apart from one another in the first direction;
- and
- third touch electrodes extending in the second direction and spaced apart from one another in the first direction, the third touch electrodes being shaped differently than the second touch electrodes,
- wherein:
- the first touch electrodes and the second touch electrodes are configured to detect, independent of the third touch electrodes, a first touch of a first touch input member;
- and
- the first touch electrodes and the third touch electrodes are configured to detect, independent of the second touch electrodes, a second touch of a second is touch input member different from the first touch input member.
A display apparatus comprising:
- a display panel comprising:
- a circuit substrate,
- an organic light emitting element disposed on the circuit substrate;
- and
- an encapsulating glass covering the organic light emitting element;
- and
- a touch panel disposed on the display panel, the touch panel comprising:
- first touch electrodes comprising sub electrodes spaced apart from one another in a first direction;
- second touch electrodes extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, the second touch electrodes being spaced apart from one another in the first direction;
- and
- third touch electrodes extending in the second direction and spaced apart from one another in the first direction, the third touch electrodes being shaped differently than the second touch electrodes,
- wherein:
- the first touch electrodes and the second touch electrodes are configured to detect, independent of the third touch electrodes, a first touch of a first touch input member;
- and
- the first touch electrodes and the third touch electrodes are configured to detect, independent of the second touch electrodes, a second touch of a second touch input member different from the first touch input member.
