Abstract

A touch sensor integrated display device is provided comprising gate lines and data lines formed on a substrate to be intersected with each other, a plurality of pixel electrodes formed at intersections between the gate lines and the data lines, and a common electrode formed to overlap the plurality of pixel electrodes through an insulating film disposed between the common electrode and the plurality of pixel electrodes, wherein the common electrode includes at least two touch electrodes, each of which is connected to at least one of signal lines arranged in one of a first direction and a second direction crossing the first direction.

Claims (22)

1. A touch sensitive display device, comprising:

a plurality of touch electrodes including a first touch electrode and a second touch electrode;

a plurality of signal lines including a first signal line and a second signal line spaced apart from each other; and

a first bridge electrode electrically connected with the first and second signal lines,

wherein each of the first and second signal lines is electrically connected with the first touch electrode via at least one corresponding contact hole,

wherein each of the first and second signal lines overlaps with the second touch electrode without being electrically connected with the second touch electrode through any contact hole, and

wherein each of the first and second signal lines extends along a first direction, and the first bridge electrode extends along a second direction different from the first direction.

2. The touch sensitive display device of claim 1 , wherein the first bridge electrode does not overlap with the plurality of touch electrodes.

3. The touch sensitive display device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of touch electrodes is in a display area of the touch sensitive display device, and the first bridge electrode is in a non-display area of the touch sensitive display device.

4. The touch sensitive display device of claim 1 , wherein the first bridge electrode is in direct contact with the first and second signal lines.

5. The touch sensitive display device of claim 1 , wherein a minimum distance between the first bridge electrode and the first touch electrode is shorter than a minimum distance between the first bridge electrode and the second touch electrode.

6. The touch sensitive display device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of signal lines further includes a third signal line extending along the first direction.

7. The touch sensitive display device of claim 6 , wherein the third signal line is spaced apart from each of the first and second signal lines and is electrically connected with the first and second signal lines via the first bridge electrode.

8. The touch sensitive display device of claim 7 , wherein the third signal line traverses the first bridge electrode in a plan view.

9. The touch sensitive display device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of signal lines further includes a third signal line and a fourth signal line extending along the first direction,

wherein each of the third and fourth signal lines overlaps with the first and second touch electrodes, and

wherein each of the third and fourth signal lines is electrically connected with the second touch electrode via at least one corresponding contact hole.

10. The touch sensitive display device of claim 9 , further comprising a second bridge electrode extending along the second direction.

11. The touch sensitive display device of claim 10 , wherein the third and fourth signal lines are electrically connected with each other through the second bridge electrode.

12. The touch sensitive display device of claim 11 , wherein a minimum distance between the first bridge electrode and a first contact hole overlapping with the first signal line is shorter than a minimum distance between the second bridge electrode and a second contact hole overlapping with the third signal line, and

wherein the first signal line and the first touch electrode are electrically connected with each other via the first contact hole, and the third signal line and the second touch electrode are electrically connected with each other via the second contact hole.

13. The touch sensitive display device of claim 11 , wherein a length of at least one of the first and second signal lines is the same as a length of at least one of the third and fourth signal lines.
