Abstract

A display filter for a display device having a display panel includes a base substrate disposed in front of the display panel; an optical filter part layered based on the base substrate and comprising at least an anti-reflection layer; and a touch signal sensing part layered on the base substrate or the optical filter part and sensing a touch signal by a sensed object. An optical filter and a touch input means are combined together, and thereby the display filter can perform a touch input function as well as an optical filter function.

Claims (30)

1 . A display filter for a display device having a display panel, the display filter comprising:

a base substrate disposed in front of the display panel;

an optical filter part layered based on the base substrate and comprising at least an anti-reflection layer; and

a touch signal sensing part layered on the base substrate or the optical filter part and sensing a touch signal by a sensed object so that the display filter can perform a touch input function.

2 . The display filter of claim 1 ,

wherein the optical filter part further comprising at least one of an electromagnetic wave blocking layer, a near-infrared ray blocking layer, a neon light absorption layer and a color compensation layer layered based on the base substrate.

3 . The display filter of claim 1 ,

wherein the touch signal sensing part comprising:

a first touch sheet in which a first electrode layer is formed on a front surface of the base substrate, and

a second touch sheet disposed such that an air gap is formed between the first touch sheet and the second touch sheet, wherein a second electrode layer is formed on a transparent film and can come into contact with the first electrode layer by an external touch force.

4 . The display filter of claim 3 ,

wherein at least one of the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer comprises a conductive film.

5 . The display filter of claim 4 ,

wherein the conductive film is an ITO film.

6 . The display filter of claim 3 ,

wherein at least one of the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer comprises a conductive mesh pattern.

7 . The display filter of claim 6 ,

wherein the conductive mesh pattern is made of at least one of copper, chrome, nickel, silver, molybdenum, tungsten, and aluminum.

8 . The display filter of claim 1 ,

wherein the touch signal sensing part comprises a transparent electrode layer which is layered in the rear of the base substrate, and transmits electricity due to capacitance at a touched location when the sensed object touches the display filter.

9 . The display filter of claim 8 ,

wherein the touch signal sensing part further comprises a controller which determines the touched location using the electricity transmitted from the transparent electrode layer.

10 . The display filter of claim 1 ,

wherein the optical filter part further comprises an anti-fog layer which is formed on a surface of the display filter facing the display panel to prevent the surface of the display filter from becoming fogged.

11 . A display device comprising:

the display filter recited in claim 3 , and

the display panel recited in claim 3 which emits a display image through the display filter.

12 . A display device comprising:

the display filter recited in claim 8 , and

the display panel recited in claim 8 which emits a display image through the display filter.
