Abstract

A display panel is provided having a capacitive touch panel over a display region, wherein the capacitive touch panel comprises a plurality of X electrodes and a plurality of Y electrodes formed with an insulating layer there between and in a manner to cross each other, each of the X electrodes and the Y electrodes is formed such that a pad portion and a narrow line portion are alternately placed in a direction of extension, and when viewed from top, the pad portion of the X electrode and the pad portion of the Y electrode are placed to not overlap each other and a dummy electrode which is in a floating relationship with the X electrode and the Y electrode is formed between the pad portion of the X electrode and the pad portion of the Y electrode.

Claims (25)

1. A display panel having a capacitive touch panel over a display region, the capacitive touch panel comprising:

a plurality of X electrodes and a plurality of Y electrodes formed with an insulating layer therebetween and in a manner to cross each other, each of the X electrodes and the Y electrodes being formed to have a pad portion and a narrow line portion alternately placed in a direction of extension, the pad portion of each of the X electrodes and the pad portion of each of the Y electrodes being placed not to overlap each other when viewed from top; and

a dummy electrode which is in a floating relationship with the X electrodes and the Y electrodes, the dummy electrode being formed between the pad portion of each of the X electrodes and the pad portion of each of the Y electrodes without overlapping the X electrodes and the Y electrodes.

2. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein

the dummy electrode comprises a plurality of electrodes which are aligned in a direction from the pad portion of each of the X electrodes to the pad portion of each of the Y electrodes.

3. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein

the dummy electrode is formed in a same layer as the X electrodes.

4. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein

the dummy electrode is formed in a same layer as the Y electrodes.

5. The display panel according to claim 2 , wherein

the dummy electrode comprises a dummy electrode formed in a same layer as the X electrodes and a dummy electrode formed in a same layer as the Y electrodes.

6. A display panel having a capacitive touch panel over a display region, the capacitive touch panel comprising:

a plurality of X electrodes and a plurality of Y electrodes formed with an insulating layer therebetween and in a manner to cross each other, each of the X electrodes and the Y electrodes being formed to have a pad portion and a narrow line portion alternately placed in a direction of extension, and

a dummy electrode which is in a floating relationship with the X electrodes and the Y electrodes, the dummy electrode being formed one of (a) in each of regions surrounded by the pad portion of each of the X electrodes and the Y electrodes and (b) between the pad portion of each of the X electrodes and the pad portion of each of the Y electrodes, and the dummy electrode being formed in the one of (a) and (b) without overlapping the X electrodes and the Y electrodes.

7. The display panel according to claim 6 , wherein the dummy electrode is formed as (a) in each of regions surrounded by the pad portion of each of the X electrodes and the Y electrodes.

8. The display panel according to claim 7 , wherein

when viewed from top, the pad portion of each of the X electrodes and the pad portion of each of the Y electrodes are placed not to overlap each other, further comprising a second dummy electrode which is in a floating relationship, the second dummy electrode being formed between the pad portion of each of the X electrodes and the pad portion of each of the Y electrodes.

9. The display panel according to claim 8 , wherein

the second dummy electrode between the pad portion of each of the X electrodes and the pad portion of each of the Y electrodes comprises a plurality of electrodes which are aligned in a direction from the pad portion of each of the X electrodes to the pad portion of each of the Y electrodes.

10. The display panel according to claim 8 , wherein

the second dummy electrode is formed in a same layer as the X electrodes.

11. The display panel according to claim 8 , wherein

the second dummy electrode is formed in a same layer as the Y electrodes.

12. The display panel according to claim 8 , wherein

the second dummy electrode comprises a second dummy electrode formed in a same layer as the X electrodes and a second dummy electrode formed in a same layer as the Y electrodes.
