Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a first common electrode, a second common electrode spaced apart from the first common electrode, a first signal line overlapping the first common electrode and the second common electrode, a first metal line overlapping the first signal line and the first common electrode, and a second metal line overlapping the first signal line and the second common electrode and spaced apart from the first metal line. The first metal line includes an extension portion extending between the first common electrode and the second common electrode.

Claims (30)

1. A display device comprising:

a first sensor electrode;

a second sensor electrode next to the first sensor electrode in a first direction;

a first sensor line connected to the first sensor electrode;

a second sensor line connected to the second sensor electrode;

a first spacer;

a second spacer; and

an insulating film,

wherein

the second sensor electrode is separated from the first sensor electrode in the first direction by a slit,

the first sensor line extends across the second sensor electrode and the slit, and is connected to the first sensor electrode,

the second sensor line extends across the second sensor electrode, and an end of the second sensor line is located inside of the slit,

the first spacer overlaps the first sensor line at a region where the slit is formed,

the second spacer overlaps the second sensor line at the region where the slit is formed,

the first sensor line is connected the first sensor electrode via a first contact hole, that is formed in the insulating film, and

the second sensor line is connected the second sensor electrode via a second contact hole, that is formed in the insulating film.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the end portion of the second sensor line does not overlap the first sensor electrode.

3. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a dummy line,

wherein

the dummy line is separated from the second sensor line in the first direction by a gap, and

the dummy line overlaps the first sensor electrode, and is connected to the first sensor electrode.

4. The display device of claim 3 , further comprising:

a plurality of signal lines arrayed in a second direction intersecting the first direction,

wherein

each of the second sensor line and the dummy line overlap a same one of the plurality of signal lines.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein

an end portion of the dummy line faces the end portion of the second sensor line in the first direction, and

the end portion of the dummy line overlaps the first sensor electrode.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the end portion of the dummy line does not overlap the slit.
