Abstract

To provide a liquid crystal display device with a touch detection function in which any drive method can be adopted. The liquid crystal display device is provided with: a liquid crystal element arrangement that has a plurality of liquid crystal display elements arranged in a matrix shape; a plurality of scanning lines that are arranged in each row of the liquid crystal element arrangement, and supply scanning signals to a plurality of liquid crystal display elements arranged in a corresponding row; a plurality of signal lines that are arranged in each column of the liquid crystal element arrangement, and supply an image signal to a plurality of liquid crystal display elements arranged in a corresponding column; a plurality of touch detection drive electrodes which are arranged in a column of the liquid crystal element arrangement, and to which a drive signal for detecting a touch is supplied; and a touch control part that specifies a touch detection drive electrode from the a plurality of touch detection drive electrodes. Here, the drive signal is supplied to the touch detection drive electrode specified by the touch control part.

Claims (25)

1. A display device, comprising:

a plurality of scanning lines extending in a first direction;

a plurality of signal lines extending in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction;

a plurality of picture element electrodes, each picture element electrode arranged in an area comparted by the scanning lines and the signal lines;

a plurality of drive electrodes extending in the second direction and corresponding to respective ones of the signal lines and picture element electrodes;

a plurality of lines, each line connected to one of the drive electrodes;

a drive electrode driver configured to drive the drive electrodes as common electrodes in a display period and as touch detection drive electrodes in a touch period, connected to the plurality of lines, a width of the drive electrode driver being smaller than a total width of the plurality of the drive electrodes;

a signal line selector connected to the plurality of signal lines and located between the plurality of drive electrodes and the drive electrode driver;

a first gate driver located outside of the drive electrode that is located on a first outermost side of the drive electrodes, and a second gate driver located outside of the drive electrode that is located on a second outermost side of the drive electrodes; and

a first wiring including one end portion connected to the first gate driver and the other end portion connected to the drive electrode driver, and a second wiring including one end portion connected to the second gate driver and the other end portion connected to the drive electrode driver,

wherein the plurality of lines pass over the signal line selector and incline toward the drive electrode driver,

wherein the plurality of drive electrodes are located between the first gate driver and the second gate driver, and

wherein the plurality of lines are located between the first wiring and the second wiring.

2. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the signal line selector is located between the first wiring and the second wiring.

3. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein inclination angles of the lines are different each other.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising;

a first substrate having the scanning lines, the signal lines, the drive electrodes, the drive electrode driver, the signal line selector, and the lines; and

a second substrate facing the first substrate,

wherein the first substrate has a first area covering the second substrate and a second area uncovering the second substrate,

the drive electrodes are located in the first area and the drive electrode driver is located in the second area, and

the lines are arranged from the first area to the second area.

5. The display device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the lines cross an edge of the second substrate.
