Abstract

A display device includes a plurality of first sub-pixels configured to display red, a plurality of second sub-pixels configured to display green, a plurality of third sub-pixels configured to display blue, and a plurality of fourth sub-pixels configured to display white, a first signal line coupled to the first sub-pixels, a second signal line coupled to the second sub-pixels, and a third signal line coupled to the third sub-pixels and the fourth sub-pixels, a plurality of detection electrodes arrayed in a matrix (row-column configuration) and each provided overlapping the first sub-pixels, the second sub-pixels, the third sub-pixels, and the fourth sub-pixels, and a plurality of signal supply wires coupled to the respective detection electrodes. The signal supply wires are each provided overlapping at least one of the first signal line and the second signal line and not overlapping the third signal line.

Claims (57)

1. A display device comprising:

a first sub-pixel configured to display a first color, a second sub-pixel configured to display a second color different from the first color, and a third sub-pixel configured to display a third color different from the first and second colors in a display area;

a first signal line coupled to the first sub-pixel, a second signal line coupled to the second sub-pixel, and a third signal line coupled to the third sub-pixel;

a plurality of detection electrodes arrayed in a matrix in the display area, the detection electrodes including a first detection electrode;

a plurality of signal supply wires including a first signal supply wire and a second signal supply wire; and

a plurality of slits formed overlapping the first signal supply line between the detection electrodes disposed side by side in a first direction,

wherein

the slits including a first slit, a second slit, and a third slit placed between the first and second slits,

the first, second, and third slits are formed in the first detection electrode, and

a length of the third slit is different from a length of the first slit and a length of the second slit.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the length of the first slit is the same as the length of the second slit.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the detection electrodes overlap the signal supply wires,

one of the signal supply wires has a first portion and a second portion,

the first portion is in contact with one of the detection electrodes, and

the second portion is not in contact with the detection electrodes.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the length of the third slit is longer than a length of a portion between the first slit and the third slit, and

the length of the third slit is longer than a length of a portion between the second slit and the third slit.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first signal supply wire overlaps the first signal line and is coupled to the first detection electrode,

the second signal supply wire overlaps the second signal line and is coupled to the first detection electrode, and

none of the signal supply wires overlap the third signal line in the display area.

6. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a dummy wire overlapping the first detection electrode, wherein

the dummy wire overlaps the third signal line, and

the dummy wire is not coupled to the first detection electrode and is in a floating state.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein

the dummy wire includes a first portion and a second portion,

the first portion and the second portion are arrayed in a manner separated from one another,

the first portion overlaps the first detection electrode and the third signal line,

the first portion is not coupled to the first detection electrode and is in a floating state,

the second portion overlaps the first detection electrode and the third signal line, and

the second portion is not coupled to the first detection electrode and is in a floating state.

8. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein

the first detection electrode is provided above the first signal supply wire, the second signal supply wire, and the first portion and the second portion of the dummy wire, a first insulating film being disposed between the dummy wire and the first detection electrode,

the first signal supply wire is coupled to the first detection electrode through a first contact hole formed in the first insulating film,

the second signal supply wire is coupled to the first detection electrode through a second contact hole formed in the first insulating film,

a dummy contact hole is formed in the first insulating film, and

the dummy contact hole overlaps the third signal line and is located in a gap between the first portion and the second portion.

9. The display device of claim 8 , further comprising a second insulating film, wherein

the first signal supply wire, the second signal supply wire, and the dummy wire are provided between the second insulating film and the first insulating film,

the second insulating film is exposed from the dummy contact hole, and

the first detection electrode is in contact with the second insulating film in the dummy contact hole.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first detection electrode is provided above the first signal supply wire and the second signal supply wire with a first insulating film interposed therebetween,

the first signal supply wire is coupled to the first detection electrode through a first contact hole formed in the first insulating film,

the second signal supply wire is coupled to the first detection electrode through a second contact hole formed in the first insulating film, and

a plurality of dummy contact holes are formed in the first insulating film and overlap the third signal line.

11. The display device of claim 10 , further comprising a second insulating film,

wherein

the first signal supply wire and the second signal supply wire are provided between the second insulating film and the first insulating film,

the second insulating film is exposed from the dummy contact holes, and

the first detection electrode is in contact with the second insulating film in the dummy contact holes.

12. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first color is red,

the second color is green, and

the third color is blue.
