Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a display device including a first sensor electrode row including a plurality of first sensor electrodes and extending in a first direction in a sensing area and a second sensor electrode row extending in a second direction in the sensing area, wherein a width of the second sensor electrode row in the first direction is not constant, a first edge of the second sensor electrode row comprises a first boundary line and a second boundary line, and each of the first boundary line and the second boundary line crosses the first sensor electrode row.

Claims (44)

1 . A display device comprising:

a first sensor electrode row including a plurality of first sensor electrodes and extending in a first direction in a sensing area; and

a second sensor electrode row extending in a second direction in the sensing area,

wherein a width of the second sensor electrode row in the first direction is not constant,

wherein a first edge of the second sensor electrode row comprises a first boundary line and a second boundary line, and

wherein each of the first boundary line and the second boundary line crosses the first sensor electrode row.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor electrodes disposed adjacent to each other are connected to each other through a bridge line.

3 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the second sensor electrode row includes a second- 1 sensor electrode row and a second- 2 sensor electrode row more adjacent to a pad unit than the second-1 sensor electrode row.

4 . The display device of claim 3 , wherein a portion of a channel line connecting the second-1 sensor electrode row to a pad crosses the bridge line and is arranged in a different layer from the bridge line.

5 . The display device of claim 3 , wherein the second-1 sensor electrode row and the second-2 sensor electrode row are connected to a same pad arranged in the pad unit.

6 . The display device of claim 3 , wherein the second-1 sensor electrode row and the second-2 sensor electrode row are respectively connected to different pads arranged in the pad unit.

7 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the second sensor electrode row arranged between two first sensor electrode rows includes a first portion and a second portion, and

wherein a width of the first portion in the first direction is greater than a width of the second portion in the first direction.

8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second sensor electrode row includes a third portion and a fourth portion, and

wherein each of the third portion and the fourth portion is disposed in an area corresponding to one first sensor electrode row or two first sensor electrode rows.

9 . The display device of claim 8 , wherein a width of the third portion in the first direction constantly increases toward a pad unit.

10 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein a width of the fourth portion in the first direction constantly reduces toward the pad unit.

11 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein the third portion and the fourth portion are alternately arranged in the second direction, and

wherein the second sensor electrode row comprises a plurality of third portions and a plurality of fourth portions arranged alternately.

12 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein the second sensor electrode row comprises a second-1 sensor electrode row and a second-2 sensor electrode row disposed closer to a pad unit than the second-1 sensor electrode row, and

wherein each of the second-1 sensor electrode row and the second-2 sensor electrode row comprises the third portion and the fourth portion arranged alternately.

13 . A display device comprising:
