Abstract

A display device is provided. The display device includes a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel that are arranged adjacent to each other in a first direction and that represent a first color; a third sub-pixel and a fourth sub-pixel that are arranged adjacent to each other in the first direction and that represent a second color; a first drive electrode that overlaps the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel, and that extends in the first direction; and a second drive electrode that overlaps the third sub-pixel and the fourth sub-pixel, and that extends in the first direction, wherein, the first and second sub-pixels and the third and fourth sub-pixels are arranged adjacent to each other in a second direction different from the first direction, the first drive electrode and the second drive electrode are separated from each other with a slit interposed therebetween, and the slit extends in the first direction.

Claims (28)

1. A display device comprising:

a first substrate having a lower surface side and an upper surface side;

a plurality of first sub-pixels arranged adjacent to each other in a first direction, the first sub-pixels representing a first color;

a plurality of second sub-pixels arranged adjacent to each other in the first direction, the second sub-pixels each representing a second color, and the first sub-pixels and the second sub-pixels being arranged adjacent to each other in a second direction crossing the first direction;

a plurality of drive electrodes that include a first drive electrode and a second drive electrode and that are arranged in a same layer on the upper surface side of the first substrate,

wherein

the first drive electrode extends in the first direction and overlaps the first sub-pixels,

the second drive electrode extends in the first direction and overlaps the second sub-pixels,

the first drive electrode and the second drive electrode are separated from each other in the second direction by a slit that extends in the first direction.

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

a second substrate; and

a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein,

the second substrate has an upper surface side and a liquid crystal layer side opposite to the upper surface side,

the first sub-pixels and the second subpixels each include a switching element and a pixel electrode, and

the liquid crystal layer is driven by an electric field formed between the pixel electrodes and the drive electrodes.

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

a first color filter that corresponds to each of the first sub-pixels; and

a second color filter that corresponds to each of the second sub-pixels.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the first color filter and the second color filter are disposed on the liquid crystal layer side of the second substrate.

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

a data line that couples the switching element of one of the first sub-pixels to the switching element of one the second sub-pixels and that extends in the second direction.

6. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein,

the first substrate has a first edge side extending in the first direction, and includes a region coupled to a driver integrated circuit along the first edge side.

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

a touch detection electrode that overlaps the first sub-pixels, the second sub-pixels, and that extends in the second direction,

wherein the touch detection electrode is disposed on the upper surface side of the second substrate.

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

a touch detection electrode that overlaps the first sub-pixels and the second sub-pixels.
