Abstract

Provided is a display panel including: a plurality of pixel electrodes divided into a plurality of groups; and a plurality of common electrodes arranged at a ratio of one to a plurality of pixel electrodes included in one of the plurality of groups. Each of a plurality of sensor electrode lines overlaps with corresponding one of a plurality of data signal lines in plan view. The plurality of sensor electrode lines and each of the plurality of common electrodes overlap each other in plan view. The each of the plurality of common electrodes is electrically connected to the plurality of sensor electrode lines. At least one insulating film is formed between each of a region between the data signal lines and the sensor electrode lines, a region between the sensor electrode lines and the common electrodes, and a region between the common electrodes and the pixel electrodes.

Claims (25)

1. A display panel comprising;

a glass substrate;

a plurality of gate signal lines extending in a first direction and formed on the glass substrate;

a plurality of data signal lines and a plurality of sensor electrode lines, which extend in a second direction different from the first direction;

a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged so as to respectively correspond to a plurality of pixels arrayed in the first direction and the second direction, the plurality of pixel electrodes being divided into a plurality of groups; and

a plurality of common electrodes arranged at a ratio of one to a plurality of pixel electrodes included in one of the plurality of groups, wherein:

each of the plurality of sensor electrode lines overlaps with corresponding one of the plurality of data signal lines in plan view;

each of the plurality of common electrodes has at least two overlapping portions spaced apart from each other, each of the overlapping portions overlapping a corresponding one of the plurality of sensor electrode lines in a plan view;

a first insulating film formed on the glass substrate and to cover the plurality of gate signal lines;

the plurality of data signal lines are formed on the first insulating film;

a second insulating film formed to cover the plurality of data signal lines;

a third insulating film formed on the second insulating film, wherein the third insulating film has a greater thickness than the second insulating film;

a plurality of adhesion layers formed on the third insulating film;

the plurality of sensor electrode lines formed on the plurality of adhesion layers;

a fourth insulating film formed to cover the third insulating film and the plurality of sensor electrode lines formed on the plurality of adhesion layers,

wherein a through hole is formed through a art of the fourth insulating film, and wherein the sensor electrode lines extend in the second direction and are formed at a position in which the sensor electrode lines overlap with the data signal line in clan view;

the plurality of common electrodes are formed on the fourth insulating film and inside the through hole to electrically connect one of the plurality of sensor electrode lines and corresponding one of the plurality of common electrodes to each other,

a fifth insulating film formed to cover the plurality of common electrodes, wherein the the plurality of pixel electrodes are formed on the fifth insulating film.

2. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of common electrodes are arrayed at equal intervals in the first direction and the second direction.

3. The display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising shielding wiring formed on the fifth insulating layer and arranged to cover a gap between adjacent two of the plurality of common electrodes in plan view.

4. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of common electrodes are arranged so that a gap between adjacent two of the plurality of common electrodes overlaps with a gap between adjacent pixels in plan view.

5. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two overlapping portions of each of the plurality of common electrodes are neighboring to each other in the second direction.

6. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the display panel detects a touch position by means of a self-capacitance method of a capacitive system.

7. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the third insulating film is greater than a thickness of the fifth insulating film.

8. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the third insulating film is made of an organic material mainly containing acrylic.
