Abstract

According to an aspect, a display device includes: a substrate having a display region; and a plurality of temperature detection wiring lines each having a conductive thin wiring line arranged at a position overlapping with the display region in plan view. A light shielding layer is arranged so as to extend in a first direction in the display region, and the conductive thin wiring line is arranged at a position overlapping with the light shielding layer and extends in the first direction along the light shielding layer in plan view.

Claims (19)

1. A display device comprising:

a substrate having a display region;

a plurality of temperature detection wiring lines each having a conductive thin wiring line arranged on the substrate at a position overlapping with the display region in plan view;

a first wiring line coupled to a first end of the conductive thin wiring line;

a second wiring line coupled to a second end of the conductive thin wiring line;

a flexible substrate with terminal portions, the flexible substrate being coupled to the substrate; and

a resistance detection circuit;

wherein

a light shielding layer is arranged so as to extend in a first direction in the display region,

the conductive thin wiring line is arranged at a position overlapping with the light shielding layer and extends in the first direction along the light shielding layer in plan view,

each of the temperature detection wiring lines includes a plurality of the conductive thin wiring lines, and

the resistance detection circuit detects resistance change in accordance with temperature change between:

the first wiring line that is electrically coupled to a first coupling wiring line that is electrically coupled to a plurality of the first ends of the conductive thin wiring lines; and

the second wiring line that is electrically coupled to a second coupling wiring line that is electrically coupled to a plurality of the second ends of the conductive thin wiring lines;

the first wiring line and the second wiring line that are coupled to a same one of the temperature detection wiring lines are coupled to the resistance detection circuit via different terminal portions to the flexible substrate,

each of the temperature detection wiring lines detects a partial heat generation state of the display region in a region having a predetermined area, and

a resistance value of each temperature detection wiring line is adjusted in accordance with a number of conductive thin wiring lines.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the conductive thin wiring line in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction is less than a width of the light shielding layer in the second direction.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the conductive thin wiring line is in a range from 1 μm to 10 μm.
