Abstract
The present invention relates to a display device including a panel which includes a plurality of electrodes which are arranged in parallel to each other, and a bending sensing unit that senses a bending of the panel by using a change in a capacitance between at least two electrodes among the plurality of electrodes.
Claims15
A display device comprising:
- a panel comprising a plurality of electrodes which are located in parallel to each other;
- a plurality of intersection electrodes which intersect with the plurality of electrodes;
- a bending sensing unit that senses a bending of the panel by using a change in a capacitance between at least two electrodes among the plurality of electrodes;
- and
- a touch sensing unit confiruged to sense a touch of the panel by using a change in a capacitance between one electrode of the plurality of electrodes and one electrode of the plurality of intersection electrodes,
- wherein the bending sensing unit senses a bending in a first direction with respect to the panel by using the change in the capacitance between the at least two electrodes among the plurality of electrodes, and senses a bending in a second direction with respect to the panel by using a change in a capacitance between at least two electrodes among the plurality of intersection electrodes.
