Touch screen panel
A touch screen panel includes: a flat panel display including an upper substrate, a lower substrate, and pixels arranged on a display region of the lower substrate in a stripe arrangement; first sensing cells arranged in a first direction on the upper substrate and second sensing cells arranged in a second direction on the upper substrate; first connection patterns electrically connecting adjacent ones of the first sensing cells to each other in the first direction, and second connection patterns electrically connecting adjacent ones of the second sensing cells to each other in the second direction, wherein at least one of the first connection patterns and the second connection patterns is inclined so that it partially overlaps with the pixels.
1. A display device comprising:
pixels in a display area, the pixels being spaced from each other and arranged along a first direction and a second direction crossing the first direction; and
a touch panel overlapping the display area, the touch panel comprising sensing units arranged along the first direction and connection parts to connect the sensing units to each other,
wherein at least one of the connection parts is entirely straight and elongated in a third direction to connect a first one of the sensing units to a second one of the sensing units, the third direction being inclined with respect to the first direction.
2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the connection parts that is elongated in the third direction comprises a straight pattern extending in the third direction to connect the first one of the sensing units to the second one of the sensing units.
3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the connection parts comprises a separate connection pattern slanted with respect to the first direction.
4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the connection parts that is elongated in the third direction overlaps two or more of the pixels.
5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein ends of at least one of the connection parts that is elongated in the third direction overlap the first one of the sensing units and the second one of the sensing units.
6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the connection parts are not parallel to each other.
7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the connection parts comprise connection patterns.
8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the sensing units comprise sensing cells.
9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the touch panel comprises other sensing units arranged along the second direction and other connection parts to connect the other sensing units to each other, and
wherein at least one of the other connection parts is elongated in a fourth direction to connect a first one of the other sensing units to a second one of the other sensing units, the fourth direction being inclined with respect to the second direction.
10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one of the other connection parts that is elongated in the fourth direction is spaced from the at least one of the connection parts that is elongated in the third direction.
11. The display device of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the other connection parts that is elongated in the fourth direction comprises a straight pattern extending in the fourth direction to connect the first one of the other sensing units to the second one of the other sensing units.
12. The display device of claim 9 , wherein each of the other connection parts comprises a separate connection pattern slanted with respect to the second direction.
13. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the other connection parts comprise connection patterns.
14. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the other sensing units comprise sensing cells.
