Abstract

According to an aspect, a display device with a sensor includes: a substrate including a display region and a peripheral region on a periphery of the display region; detection electrodes arranged in a row-column configuration in the display region; and detection lines coupled to the respective detection electrodes. A shape of the substrate in a plan view includes a curve of a curved portion. The detection electrodes include a first electrode and a second electrode having a shape different from that of the first electrode in a plan view. The second electrode is juxtaposed with the curved portion. The detection lines each include a first line coupled to the first electrode and a second line coupled to the second electrode. The second line passes from the display region across the peripheral region and extends to a position overlapping with the second electrode in a plan view.

Claims (47)

1. A display device comprising:

a first substrate including:

a glass substrate,

a plurality of common electrodes arranged in a matrix in a display region, and

a metal line;

a second substrate including:

a black matrix in a peripheral region outside the display region; and

a driver IC mounted on the first substrate,

wherein

a border between the display region and the peripheral region is defined by an edge of the black matrix,

the glass substrate includes a notch,

the plurality of common electrodes include a first common electrode located adjacent to the notch,

the metal line connects the driver IC and the first common electrode,

the metal line extends across the display region and the peripheral region around the notch, to a position overlapping the first common electrode, and

part of the metal line overlaps the black matrix in the peripheral region around the notch.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the notch is a recessed portion toward the display region,

the notch is disposed at one end of the first substrate, and the driver IC is mounted at another end opposed to the notch, and

the display region is between the driver IC and the notch.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein

the first substrate includes an insulating film between the metal line and the plurality of common electrodes, and

the metal line is connected to the first common electrode via a plurality of contact holes disposed in the insulating film.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein

the metal line includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion,

the first portion extends from the driver IC toward the notch across the display region,

the second portion is connected to the first portion at the peripheral region around the notch, and extends along the notch,

the third portion is connected to the second portion, extends to the position overlapping the first electrode, and is connected the first common electrode via the contact holes, and

the second portion is part of the metal line that overlaps the black matrix in the peripheral region around the notch.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein

the first common electrode includes an edge facing the notch, and

the edge of the first common electrode is located between the notch and the edge of the black matrix.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the second portion is located between the edge of the first common electrode and the edge of the black matrix.

7. The display device of claim 4 , wherein

the first portion includes a plurality of first line portions extending parallel to each other,

the second portion is a second line portion that is a single line portion,

the third portion includes a plurality of third line portions extending parallel to each other, and

the second line portion is connected to each of the first line portions and each of the third line portions.

8. The display device of claim 4 , wherein

the plurality of common electrodes further includes a second common electrode adjacent to the first common electrode,

the first portion overlaps the second common electrode and does not overlap the first common electrode, and

the third portion overlaps the first common electrode and does not overlap the second common electrode.

9. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the second portion has a zig-zag line shape disposed along the notch.

10. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the first portion is not in direct contact with the first common electrode.

11. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the insulating film is an organic insulating film.

12. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first common electrode includes an edge facing the notch, and

the edge of the first common electrode is located between the notch and the edge of the black matrix.
