Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a first common electrode and a second common electrode arranged in a first direction, a first switch unit selectively supplying a first drive signal or a second drive signal different from the first drive signal to the first common electrode, and a second switch unit selectively supplying the first drive signal or the second drive signal to the second common electrode, wherein the second common electrode and the first switch unit are arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction, the first switch unit comprises a first switch circuit and a second switch circuit arranged in the second direction.

Claims (36)

1. A display device comprising:

a first base including a long side edge, a short side edge, and a first corner portion between the long side edge and the short side edge; and

common electrodes in a display area,

wherein

the short side edge is parallel to a first direction,

the long side edge is parallel to a second direction intersecting the first direction,

the first corner portion is formed in an arcuate shape,

the common electrodes include a first common electrode and a second common electrode next to the first common electrode in the first direction,

the first common electrode is located between the long side edge and the second common electrode in the first direction,

the first common electrode includes a first edge along the arcuate shape, and

the first edge is formed in a step shape.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first edge is located outside the display area.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first common electrode has a first width in the first direction,

the second common electrode has a second width in the first direction, and

the first width is larger than the second width.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the display area includes a second corner portion along the first corner portion,

the second corner portion is a round portion, and

the first edge of the first common electrode is located between the arcuate shape and the round portion.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein

the step shape of the first edge is formed along the round portion,

the second common electrode includes a second edge along the round portion,

the second edge is formed in a step shape, and

the step shape of the second edge is located outside the round shape.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein

a part of the first common electrode faces the step shape of the second edge in the second direction.

7. The display device of claim 5 , wherein

the common electrodes are formed of a transparent conductive material.

8. The display device of claim 5 , wherein

a length of the step shape of the first edge is longer than a length of the step shape of the second edge.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein

the common electrodes are formed on the first base, and

a plurality of insulating films are between the first base and the common electrodes.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein
