Abstract

A display device includes a display region on a substrate, a first step portion surrounding the display region in a plan view, a first sensor electrode in the display region, a first sensor wiring electrically connected with the first sensor electrode, a first terminal electrode located between the display region and an edge of the substrate, a first terminal wiring electrically connected to the first terminal electrode, at least one contact hole located between the first step portion and the first terminal electrode, at least one first insulating layer located around a periphery of the at least one contact hole, a second insulating layer between the at least one first insulating layer and the substrate in a cross section, and a third insulating layer over the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer.

Claims (36)

1 . A display device comprising:

a display region on a substrate;

a first step portion surrounding the display region in a plan view;

a first sensor electrode in the display region;

a first sensor wiring electrically connected with the first sensor electrode;

a first terminal electrode located between the display region and an edge of the substrate;

a first terminal wiring electrically connected to the first terminal electrode;

at least one contact hole located between the first step portion and the first terminal electrode;

at least one first insulating layer located around a periphery of the at least one contact hole;

a second insulating layer between the at least one first insulating layer and the substrate in a cross section; and

a third insulating layer over the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer,

wherein

the first sensor wiring and the first terminal wiring are electrically connected through the at least one contact hole,

the first sensor wiring is arranged over the first terminal wiring and the third insulating layer in a cross section,

the first sensor wiring includes a first edge and a second edge with different heights from the substrate over the third insulating layer,

the first edge is located on a part of the third insulating layer in contact with the at least first insulating layer, and

the second edge is located over a part of the third insulating layer in contact with the second insulation layer.

2 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first edge and the second edge are located around the periphery of the contact hole in a plan view.

3 . The display device according to claim 2 , wherein

the at least one contact hole includes a plurality of contact holes,

the plurality of contact holes include a first contact hole and a second contact hole adjacent to each other, and

the at least one first insulating layer is located between the first contact hole and the second contact hole.

4 . The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the first edge located on a display region side of the first contact hole is closer to the display region than the second edge located on a display region side of the second contact hole.

5 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one first insulating layer includes a plurality of first insulating layers,

the at least one contact hole includes a plurality of the contact holes, and

the plurality of first insulating layers is located between the plurality of the contact holes respectively.

6 . The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a second step portion surrounding the first step portion,

wherein

the at least one contact hole is located between the first step portion and the second step portion,

the first sensor wiring extends over the first step portion, and

the second step portion is located over the first terminal electrode.

7 . The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the third insulating layer comprises a first inorganic insulating layer and a second inorganic insulating layer, and

the second inorganic insulating layer is in contact with the first sensor wiring.
