Abstract
In a touch display device with a touch sensor structure in which two or more touch electrodes located in two or more subareas are electrically connected to each other via one touch line, itis possible to decrease the number of touch channels. With a touch sensor structure in which two or more touch electrodes are connected to each touch line in a touch electrode connecting structure capable of removing ghost data, it is possible to improve touch sensitivity greatly.
Claims20
A touch display device comprising:
- a plurality of touch electrodes that are arranged in n rows and m columns in a touch sensing area;
- and
- a plurality of touch lines that are electrically connected to the plurality of touch electrodes,
- wherein the touch sensing area is divided into k areas, where k is a natural number equal to or greater than 2, n is a multiple of k, and m is a natural number equal to or greater than 2,
- wherein each of the k areas includes n/k touch electrode rows,
- wherein the k areas include a first area and a second area,
- wherein the first area includes a first touch electrode and a second touch electrode which are arranged in a same touch electrode row, and the second area includes a third touch electrode and a fourth touch electrode which are arranged in different touch electrode rows,
- wherein the plurality of touch lines include a first touch line which is electrically connected to the first touch electrode and the third touch electrode, and a second touch line which is electrically connected to the second touch electrode and the fourth touch electrode,
- wherein, in the first area, the first touch electrode is disposed in a first touch electrode column and the second touch electrode is disposed in a second touch electrode column subsequent to the first touch electrode column, and
- wherein, in the second area, the third touch electrode is disposed in the first touch electrode column, the fourth touch electrode is disposed in the second touch electrode column, the third touch electrode is disposed in an i-th touch electrode row out of the n/k touch electrode rows included in the second area, and the fourth touch electrode is disposed in one of (n/k)−3 touch electrode rows other than an (i−1)-th touch electrode row, the i-th touch electrode row, and an (i+1)-th touch electrode row out of the n/k touch electrode rows included in the second area.
