Abstract

Provided is a display device and a portable terminal including the same. The display device includes a display panel including an active region and a peripheral region adjacent to the active region, n first touch sensors which are arranged successively along a first direction, extend in a second direction, each include a plurality of first connecting parts and a plurality of first sensor parts connected through the first connecting parts, and each generate an electric field together with an external touch pen; m second touch sensors which are insulated from the n first touch sensors, extend successively along the first direction, are arranged in the second direction, each include a plurality of second connecting parts and a plurality of second sensor parts connected through the second connecting parts, and each generate an electric field together with an external touch pen.

Claims (29)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel including an active region and a peripheral region adjacent to the active region;

n first touch sensors which are arranged successively along a first direction and extend in a second direction, each of the n first touch sensors including a plurality of first connecting parts and a plurality of first sensor parts electrically connected through the first connecting parts;

m second touch sensors which are insulated from the n first touch sensors, extend in the first direction, and are arranged successively along the second direction, each of the m second touch sensors including a plurality of second connecting parts and a plurality of second sensor parts electrically connected through the second connecting parts;

a plurality of signal lines configured to transmit a detection signal for detecting an input point of a touch pen to the n first touch sensors and the m second touch sensors; and

a blocking electrode disposed in the peripheral region adjacent to the active region,

wherein the plurality of first sensor parts, the plurality of second sensor parts, the plurality of second connecting parts, and the blocking electrode are disposed on a layer different from a layer on which the plurality of first connecting parts and the plurality of signal lines are disposed,

wherein a portion of the plurality of signal lines and the blocking electrode overlap each other in the peripheral region adjacent to the active region, and

wherein ends of the signal lines are directly connected to the first and second connecting parts, respectively.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of first connecting parts and at least one of the plurality of second connecting parts are disposed in the active region adjacent to the peripheral region.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of first connecting parts and the plurality of second connecting parts are disposed on a corner of the active region.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the blocking electrode is disposed in the peripheral region surrounding the active region.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor parts, the second sensor parts, the second connecting parts and the blocking electrode are directly disposed on the display panel.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display panel comprises:

a base substrate;

a plurality of light-emitting elements disposed on the base substrate; and

an encapsulating substrate encapsulating the light-emitting elements,

wherein the plurality of first connecting parts and the plurality of signal lines are disposed on the encapsulating substrate.

7. A display device comprising:

a display panel including an active region and a peripheral region adjacent to the active region;

n first touch sensors which are arranged successively along a first direction and extend in a second direction, each of the n first touch sensors including a plurality of first connecting parts and a plurality of first sensor parts electrically connected through the first connecting parts;

m second touch sensors which are insulated from the n first touch sensors, extend in the first direction, and are arranged successively along the second direction, each of the m second touch sensors including a plurality of second connecting parts and a plurality of second sensor parts electrically connected through the second connecting parts;

a plurality of signal lines configured to transmit a detection signal for detecting an input point of a touch pen to the n first touch sensors and the m second touch sensors; and

a blocking electrode disposed in the peripheral region adjacent to the active region,

wherein the plurality of first sensor parts, the plurality of second sensor parts, the plurality of second connecting parts, and the blocking electrode are disposed on a layer different from a layer on which the plurality of first connecting parts and the plurality of signal lines are disposed,

wherein a portion of the plurality of signal lines and the blocking electrode overlap each other in the peripheral region adjacent to the active region,

wherein ends of the signal lines are respectively connected to the first and second connecting parts, and

wherein one of the plurality of first connecting parts and the plurality of second connecting parts are disposed on a corner of the active region.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the blocking electrode is disposed in the peripheral region surrounding the active region.
