Abstract

A display device includes: a first line and a second line which are arranged adjacent to and parallel to each other in a spaced-apart manner; a conductive layer which is arranged at a position where the conductive layer overlaps with the first line and the second line; and an insulation layer which is interposed between the first and second lines and the conducive layer. Here, the conductive layer includes a first overlapping portion which overlaps with the first line, a second overlapping portion which overlaps with the second line, and a connecting portion which connects the first overlapping portion and the second overlapping portion between the first overlapping portion and the second overlapping portion.

Claims (26)

1. A display device comprising:

a first line and a second line which are arranged to extend adjacent to and parallel to each other in a spaced-apart manner;

a conductive layer which is arranged at a position where the conductive layer overlaps with the first line and the second line; and

an insulation layer which is interposed between the first and second lines and the conducive layer; wherein

the conductive layer includes a first overlapping portion which overlaps with the first line, a second overlapping portion which overlaps with the second line, and a connecting portion which is arranged between the first overlapping portion and the second overlapping portion and connects the first overlapping portion and the second overlapping portion;

the connecting portion includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion which are arranged in a spaced-apart manner from each other; and

the conductive layer includes a slit in a region surrounded by the first overlapping portion, the second overlapping portion, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.

2. A display device comprising:

a first line and a second line which are arranged to extend adjacent to and parallel to each other in a spaced-apart manner;

a conductive layer which is arranged at a position where the conductive layer overlaps with the first line and the second line; and

an insulation layer which is interposed between the first and second lines and the conducive layer; wherein

the conductive layer includes a first overlapping portion which overlaps with the first line, a second overlapping portion which overlaps with the second line, and a connecting portion which is arranged between the first overlapping portion and the second overlapping portion and connects the first overlapping portion and the second overlapping portion;

the first overlapping portion includes a pair of first portions which is arranged in a spaced-apart manner from each other;

the second overlapping portion includes a pair of second portions which is arranged in a spaced-apart manner from each other;

the conductive layer is formed in a state where the overlapping of the conductive layer with both of the first line and the second line is avoided between the pair of first portions and between the pair of second portions;

one of the first portions and one of the second portions are arranged adjacent to each other, and the other of the first portions and the other of the second portions are arranged adjacent to each other; and

the connecting portion includes a first connecting portion which extends in a direction of a gap between the one of the first portions and the one of the second portions arranged adjacent to each other, a second connecting portion which extends in a direction of a gap between the other of the first portions and the other of the second portions arranged adjacent to each other, and a third connecting portion which extends in a direction of a gap between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the first line includes a first side portion which includes a side opposite to the second line and extends continuously,

the second line includes a second side portion which includes a side opposite to the first line and extends continuously,

the pair of first portions is arranged in a state where the overlapping of the first portions with the first side portion is avoided, and

the pair of second portions is arranged in a state where the overlapping of the second portions with the second side portion is avoided.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the first line includes a pair of first large-width portions which is formed in a projecting manner in the direction opposite to the second line,

the second line includes a pair of second large-width portions which is formed in a projecting manner in the direction opposite to the first line,

the pair of first portions overlaps with portions of the pair of first large-width portions on a second line side, and

the pair of second portions overlaps with portions of the pair of second large-width portions on a first line side.

5. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the third connecting portion is made of a light transmitting material.
