Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to touch display devices. A shielding pattern to which a constant voltage is applied is placed between the touch routing line and the encapsulation part without overlapping the touch routing line. Thus, it is possible to block the noise due to the signal line positioned under the encapsulation part by the electric field generated by the shielding pattern. Further, the metal disposed on the same layer as the shielding pattern in the planarized area of the encapsulation part may be used as a touch routing line, reducing the resistance and width of the touch routing line and hence the planarized area of the encapsulation part. Thus, it is possible to provide a touch display device for which an increase in the non-active area has been reduced and display noise has been reduced upon touch sensing.

Claims (36)

at least one shielding pattern positioned between the plurality of touch routing lines and the encapsulation part, arranged in an area except for an area overlapping the plurality of touch routing lines, and to which a constant voltage is applied,

wherein the non-active area includes a first area positioned outside the active area and in which the encapsulation part is planarized and a second area positioned outside the first area and in which the encapsulation part is inclined, and at least a portion of the at least one shielding pattern is disposed in the second area, and

wherein a plurality of auxiliary routing lines are positioned between the plurality of touch routing lines and the encapsulation part, at least partially overlapping the plurality of touch routing lines, and electrically connected with the plurality of touch routing lines.

2. The touch display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one shielding pattern is disposed on a same layer as the plurality of auxiliary routing lines.

3. The touch display device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of touch routing lines arranged in the first area are smaller in width than the plurality of touch routing lines arranged in the second area.

4. The touch display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one shielding pattern is insulated from the plurality of touch routing lines.

5. The touch display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one shielding pattern includes a plurality of shielding patterns separated from each other, and wherein a same signal is applied to the plurality of shielding patterns.

6. The touch display device of claim 1 , further comprising at least one shielding electrode positioned between the encapsulation part and the plurality of signal lines and electrically connected with cathode electrodes of the plurality of light emitting elements.

7. The touch display device of claim 6 , wherein the at least one shielding electrode is disposed in an area including an area overlapping an area between the at least one shielding pattern and the active area.
