Abstract

A touch screen panel includes: a flat panel display including an upper substrate, a lower substrate, and pixels arranged on a display region of the lower substrate in a stripe arrangement; first sensing cells arranged in a first direction on the upper substrate and second sensing cells arranged in a second direction on the upper substrate; first connection patterns electrically connecting adjacent ones of the first sensing cells to each other in the first direction, and second connection patterns electrically connecting adjacent ones of the second sensing cells to each other in the second direction, wherein at least one of the first connection patterns and the second connection patterns is inclined so that it partially overlaps with the pixels.

Claims (55)

1. A touch screen panel comprising:

a display panel;

a plurality of pixels arranged on a display region of the display panel;

a substrate;

a plurality of first sense cells arranged in a first direction on the substrate;

a plurality of second sense cells arranged in a second direction on the substrate;

a dielectric layer on the first and second sense cells;

a plurality of first coupling portions on the dielectric layer and coupling adjacent ones of the first sense cells to each other; and

a plurality of second coupling portions on the substrate and coupling adjacent ones of the second sense cells to each other,

wherein the first coupling portions are inclined at an oblique angle with respect to the first direction,

wherein the second coupling portions are inclined at an oblique angle with respect to the second direction,

wherein the first coupling portions are formed in a rectangular bar shape, and

wherein a portion of at least one of the first coupling portions overlaps a portion of at least one of the pixels in a plan view.

2. The touch screen panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the first coupling portions is formed in a single rectangular bar shape.

3. The touch screen panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an entirety of each of the first coupling portions is inclined at an oblique angle with respect to the first direction.

4. The touch screen panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of pixels includes red colored pixels, green colored pixels and blue colored pixels, and same colored pixels in at least one of red, green, or blue are arranged in the first direction or in the second direction.

5. A touch screen panel comprising:

a display panel;

a plurality of pixels arranged on a display region of the display panel;

a substrate;

a plurality of first sense cells arranged in a first direction on the substrate;

a plurality of second sense cells arranged in a second direction on the substrate;

a dielectric layer on the first and second sense cells;

a plurality of first coupling portions on the dielectric layer and coupling adjacent ones of the first sense cells to each other; and

a plurality of second coupling portions on the substrate and coupling adjacent ones of the second sense cells to each other,

wherein the first coupling portions are inclined at an oblique angle with respect to the first direction,

wherein the first coupling portions are formed in a rectangular bar shape,

wherein the plurality of pixels includes first colored pixels, second colored pixels and third colored pixels, and same colored pixels in at least one of first, second, and third colors are continuously arranged in the first direction or in the second direction, and

wherein a portion of at least one of the first coupling portions overlaps a portion of at least one of the pixels in a plan view.

6. The touch screen panel as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the second coupling portions are inclined at an oblique angle with respect to the second direction.

7. The touch screen panel as claimed in claim 5 , wherein each of the first coupling portions is formed in a single rectangular bar shape.

8. The touch screen panel as claimed in claim 5 , wherein an entirety of each of the first coupling portions is inclined at an oblique angle with respect to the first direction.

9. The touch screen panel as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the first colored pixels include red colored pixels, the second colored pixels include green colored pixels and the third colored pixels include blue colored pixels, and

wherein the green colored pixels are continuously arranged in the first direction or in the second direction.

10. A touch screen panel comprising:

a display panel;

a plurality of pixels arranged on a display region of the display panel;

a substrate;

a plurality of first sense cells disposed on the substrate;

a plurality of second sense cells disposed on the substrate;

a dielectric layer on the first and second sense cells;

a plurality of first coupling portions on the dielectric layer and coupling adjacent ones of the first sense cells to each other; and

a plurality of second coupling portions on the substrate and coupling adjacent ones of the second sense cells to each other,

wherein the first coupling portions are formed in a rectangular bar shape,

wherein the plurality of pixels includes first colored pixels which are continuously arranged in the first direction,

wherein the first coupling portions are inclined at an oblique angle with respect to the first direction,

wherein a portion of at least one of the first coupling portions overlaps a portion of at least one of the pixels in a plan view, and

wherein the second sense cells are alternately arranged with the first sense cells so that the second sense cells do not overlap the first sense cells.

11. The touch screen panel as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the second coupling portions are inclined at an oblique angle with respect to the second direction.

12. The touch screen panel as claimed in claim 10 , wherein each of the first coupling portions is formed in a single rectangular bar shape.

13. The touch screen panel as claimed in claim 10 , wherein an entirety of each of the first coupling portions is inclined at an oblique angle with respect to the first direction.

14. The touch screen panel as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the first colored pixels include green colored pixels.

15. The touch screen panel as claimed in claim 10 ,

wherein the plurality of pixels includes second colored pixels and third colored pixels, and

wherein the second colored pixels include red colored pixels and the third colored pixels include blue colored pixels.
