Abstract
Disclosed is a display device which includes a display panel and an input sensor unit. The input sensor unit includes a base layer, a plurality of sensing electrodes, a plurality of lines, and a peripheral pen sensing electrode. The plurality of sensing electrodes include a first sensing electrode, a second sensing electrode, a pen sensing electrode 1-1, a pen sensing electrode 1-2, and a second pen sensing electrode. A first width of the peripheral pen sensing electrode in a first direction is greater than a second width of each of the plurality of lines in the first direction.
