Abstract

Provided is a display device, including a display panel. An input sensing panel is disposed on the display panel. The input sensing panel includes a plurality of first sensor units arranged along a first direction. A first connection unit is configured to connect the first sensor units. A plurality of second sensor units are arranged along a second direction crossing the first direction. A second connection unit is configured to connect the second sensor units. A first insulation layer is disposed between the first connection unit and the second connection unit. A second insulation layer covers the first insulation layer. A plurality of holes is provided on an upper surface of the second insulation layer, and a thickness of the second insulation layer is greater than a depth of each of the plurality of holes.

Claims (35)

1. A display device, comprising:

a display panel; and

an input sensing panel disposed on the display panel,

wherein the input sensing panel includes:

a plurality of first sensor units arranged along a first direction;

a first connection unit configured to connect the first sensor units;

a plurality of second sensor units arranged along a second direction crossing the first direction;

a second connection unit configured to connect the second sensor units;

a first insulation layer disposed between the first connection unit and the second connection unit; and

a second insulation layer covering the first insulation layer, wherein a plurality of holes is provided on an upper surface of the second insulation layer, and wherein a thickness of the second insulation layer is greater than a depth of each of the plurality of holes.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the plurality of holes overlaps the first sensor unit or the second sensor unit in a thickness direction.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the first sensor units and each of the second sensor units comprise first mesh lines and second mesh lines crossing the first mesh lines.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein at least some of the plurality of holes overlap the first mesh lines or the second mesh lines.

5. The display device of claim 3 , wherein a width of each of the plurality of holes is smaller than a width of each of the first mesh lines and a width of each of the second mesh lines.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first insulation layer includes an inorganic material.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first insulation layer includes an organic material.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of holes has a substantially circular shape.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of holes has a substantially polygonal shape.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display panel comprises a light emitting region and a non-light emitting region adjacent to the light emitting region, and the plurality of holes does not overlap the light emitting region.

11. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of holes overlaps the non-light emitting region.

12. The display device of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of each of the plurality of holes overlaps the first connection unit and/or the second connection unit.

13. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second insulation layer includes an inorganic material.

14. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second insulation layer includes an organic material.

15. An input sensing panel, comprising:

a plurality of first sensor units arranged along a first direction;

a first connection unit configured to connect adjacent first sensor units among the plurality of first sensor units,

a plurality of second sensor units arranged along a second direction crossing the first direction;

a second connection unit disposed on the first connection unit and configured to connect adjacent second sensor units among the plurality of second sensor units;

a first insulation layer disposed between the first connection unit and the second connection unit; and

a second insulation layer covering the first sensor units, the second sensor units, and the second connection unit, wherein a plurality of holes is provided on an upper surface of the second insulation layer, and the first sensor units and the second sensor units have a mesh shape, and the plurality of holes overlap the first sensor units and the second sensor units.

16. The input sensing panel of claim 15 , wherein a thickness of a portion of the second insulation layer disposed on the first sensor units and the second sensor units is greater than a depth of each of the plurality of holes.

17. The input sensing panel of claim 15 , wherein the first insulation layer includes an inorganic material.

18. The input sensing panel of claim 15 , wherein the first insulation layer includes an organic material.

19. The input sensing panel of claim 15 , wherein the second insulation layer includes an inorganic material.

20. The input sensing panel of claim 15 , wherein the second insulation layer includes an organic material.
