Abstract

Disclosed herein is a display device including a substrate, a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in a form of a matrix in a plane parallel with the substrate, a display functional layer exerting an image display function on a basis of an image signal supplied to the plurality of pixel electrodes, a driving electrode opposed to the plurality of pixel electrodes, and a plurality of detecting electrodes arranged in a form of a plane opposed to the driving electrode, separated and arranged at a pitch of a natural number multiple of an arrangement pitch of the pixel electrodes in one direction in the arrangement plane, and each capacitively coupled with the driving electrode.

Claims (17)

1. A display device comprising:

a display layer including a plurality of pixels; and

a touch panel including (a) plurality of stripe-shaped first electrodes extending in a first direction, (b) a plurality of stripe-shaped second electrodes crossing the plurality of stripe-shaped first electrodes and extending in a second direction that crosses the first direction, (c) a plurality of floating electrodes arranged between the second electrodes, (d) a plurality of first slits extending in the first direction between the floating electrodes, and (e) a plurality of second slits extending in the second direction between the floating electrodes, each of the plurality of second slits being in communication with the plurality of first slits.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a driving circuit coupled to the plurality of stripe-shaped first electrodes; and

a detection circuit coupled to the plurality of stripe-shaped second electrodes.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein when an alternating current drive signal is applied to the plurality of stripe-shaped first electrodes by the driving circuit, a detection signal is output to the detection circuit from the plurality of stripe-shaped second electrodes.

4. A capacitive touch panel comprising:

(a) plurality of stripe-shaped first electrodes extending in a first direction;

(b) a plurality of stripe-shaped second electrodes crossing the plurality of stripe-shaped first electrodes and extending in a second direction that crosses the first direction;

(c) a plurality of floating electrodes arranged between the second electrodes;

(d) a plurality of first slits extending in the first direction between the floating electrodes; and

(e) a plurality of second slits extending in the second direction between the floating electrodes, each of the plurality of second slits being in communication with the plurality of first slits.

5. The capacitive touch panel according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a driving circuit coupled to the plurality of stripe-shaped first electrodes;

a detection circuit coupled to the plurality of stripe-shaped second electrodes.

6. The capacitive touch panel according to claim 5 , wherein, when an alternating current drive signal is applied to the plurality of stripe-shaped first electrodes by the driving circuit, a detection signal is output to the detection circuit from the plurality of stripe-shaped second electrodes on the basis of capacitance at each crossing area between the plurality of stripe-shaped first electrodes and the plurality of stripe-shaped second electrodes.
