Abstract

A display apparatus includes a first substrate, a second substrate overlapping the first substrate, an image display part disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a black matrix disposed on the second substrate. The display apparatus further includes a floating electrode overlapping the black matrix and being electrically floating. The display apparatus further includes first-type touch lines extending in a first direction, arranged along a second direction, electrically insulated from each other, and including a primary first-type touch line. The primary first-type touch line overlaps and is insulated from the floating electrode. The display apparatus further includes second-type touch lines extending in the second direction, arranged along the first direction, electrically insulated from each other, and including a primary second-type touch line. The primary second-type touch line overlaps and is insulated from the floating electrode.

Claims (30)
