Abstract
A flexible display device including a touch sensor, including a flexible substrate, a light emission layer formed over the flexible substrate, and an encapsulation layer formed over the light emission layer and comprising a plurality of encapsulating thin films and a touch detecting layer configured to detect a touch input. The encapsulating thin films include at least one inorganic film and at least one organic film and the touch detecting layer is interposed between a selected one of the at least one inorganic film and a selected one of the at least one organic film that are adjacent to each other.
Claims20
A display device, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a plurality of first touch electrodes disposed on the substrate and arranged in a first direction;
- a plurality of second touch electrodes disposed on the substrate and arranged in a second direction crossing the first direction;
- and
- a first pattern electrically connected to a first touch electrode of the plurality of first touch electrode,
- wherein:
- the first pattern is disposed in a layer different from the plurality of first touch electrodes;
- the first pattern extends to overlap both the first touch electrode and a second touch electrode of the plurality of second touch electrodes that is adjacent to the first touch electrode;
- the first pattern is insulated from the second touch electrode.
