Abstract
A flat panel display with an integrated touch screen panel includes upper and lower substrates each including a display area and first and second non-display areas around an outside of the display area. A plurality of sensing patterns are in the display area of the upper substrate. A plurality of sensing lines are in the first non-display area of the upper substrate and connected to the sensing patterns. A sealing member is between the second non-display areas of the upper and lower substrates. The upper substrate is a window substrate positioned as an uppermost one of a plurality of substrates provided in the flat panel display.
Claims19
