Abstract

A display device comprising: a display region including a first pixel and a second pixel arranged apart from each other, and a third pixel, and a touch sensor includes a first sensor electrode and a second sensor electrode, wherein the touch sensor overlaps the display region, the first sensor electrode has an opening part in a region overlapping the first pixel and the second pixel, and surrounding the first pixel and the second pixel, and the second sensor electrode overlapping the third pixel.

Claims (33)

1. A display device comprising:

a display region including a first pixel and a second pixel arranged apart from each other, and a third pixel;

a touch sensor including a first sensor electrode and a second sensor electrode; and

a second layer between the first sensor electrode and the second sensor electrode,

wherein

the touch sensor overlaps the display region,

each of the first pixel, the second pixel and the third pixel has a light emitting area,

the first sensor electrode comprises a non-translucent metal film and has an opening part,

the non-translucent metal film does not overlap the light emitting area of the first pixel and the light emitting area of the second pixel,

the opening part transmits a light from the first pixel or the second pixel,

the second sensor electrode has a transparent conductive oxide film,

the transparent conductive oxide film overlaps the light emitting area of the third pixel without overlapping with the first sensor electrode in a plan view,

the transparent conductive oxide film transmits a light from the third pixel, and

a top surface and a side surface of the first sensor electrode are directly in contact with the second layer.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein one of the first sensor electrode and the second electrode is a transmitting electrode and the other is a receiving electrode.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the first sensor electrode is a transmitting electrode and the second sensor electrode is a receiving electrode.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first sensor electrode is arranged above a first layer, the first sensor electrode is covered by the second layer, and the second sensor electrode is arranged above the second layer.

5. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein the first layer is closer to a light emitting layer of the first pixel, the second pixel and the third pixel than the second layer.

6. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein the first layer includes an inorganic compound, and the second layer is an insulation layer arranged above the first layer.

7. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein

a bottom surface of the first sensor electrode and the second layer are directly in contact with the first layer successively.

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

wherein a fourth pixel and a fifth pixel are arranged adjacent to each other and arranged apart from each other, and

the first sensor electrode is not arranged in a region between the fourth pixel and the fifth pixel in a region surrounded by the first sensor electrode.

9. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first pixel, the second pixel and the third pixel include an organic EL element.

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

a first touch sensor wiring arranged with a plurality of the first sensor electrodes in a first direction, and

a second touch sensor wiring arranged with a plurality of the second sensor electrodes in a second direction intersecting the first direction.

11. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first sensor electrode and the second sensor electrode are next to each other in a plan view.

12. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein

the second sensor electrode is next to sensor electrodes including the first electrode in a plan view, and

each of the sensor electrodes has opening parts in a region overlapping pixels.
