Abstract

A touch sensor includes a base layer, first sensing electrodes arranged on the base layer along a first direction, second sensing electrodes arranged on the base layer along a second direction, first compensation electrodes on the first sensing electrodes, and second compensation electrodes on the second sensing electrodes. The first compensation electrodes entirely cover each of the first sensing electrodes in a plan view, and the second compensation entirely cover each of the second sensing electrodes in a plan view.

Claims (29)

1. A touch sensor, comprising:

a base layer;

first sensing electrodes arranged on the base layer along a first direction;

second sensing electrodes arranged on the base layer along a second direction;

first compensation electrodes on the first sensing electrodes, wherein each of the first compensation electrodes has a greater area than that of each of the first sensing electrodes in a plan view to entirely cover each of the first sensing electrodes; and

second compensation electrodes on the second sensing electrodes, wherein each of the second compensation electrodes has a greater area than that of each of the second sensing electrodes in a plan view to entirely cover each of the second sensing electrodes,

wherein each of the first sensing electrodes and the second sensing electrodes includes a stack structure of a transparent conductive oxide layer and a metal layer;

each of the first compensation electrodes directly contacts an entire top surface of each of the first sensing electrodes, and each of the second compensation electrodes directly contacts an entire top surface of each of the second sensing electrodes; and

the first compensation electrodes and the second compensation electrodes comprise a transparent conductive oxide.

2. The touch sensor according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first sensing electrodes and the second sensing electrodes includes a sequential stack structure of a first transparent conductive oxide layer, the metal layer and a second transparent conductive oxide layer.

3. The touch sensor according to claim 1 , further comprising an extended portion integrally connecting the first sensing electrodes.

4. The touch sensor according to claim 3 , further comprising an insulation pattern covering the extended portion.

5. The touch sensor according to claim 4 , further comprising a bridge portion integrally connected to the second compensation electrodes, the bridge portion extending on the insulation pattern.

6. The touch sensor according to claim 5 , further comprising a compensation extended portion connected to the first compensation electrode and covering the extended portion.

7. The touch sensor according to claim 6 , wherein the compensation extended portion overlaps the insulation pattern.

8. The touch sensor according to claim 7 , wherein a pair of the compensation extended portions face each other on the insulation pattern with respect to the bridge portion in a plan view.

9. The touch sensor according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first sensing electrode and the second sensing electrode has an oval shape or a circular shape.

10. The touch sensor according to claim 9 , further comprising an extended portion integrally connecting the first sensing electrodes and extending in a wavy shape.

11. The touch sensor according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first sensing electrode and the second sensing electrode has a bar shape.

12. The touch sensor according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first filling portion extending from the first compensation electrode and filling an opening formed in the first sensing electrode; and

a second filling portion extending from the second compensation electrode and filling an opening formed in the second sensing electrode.

13. A window stack structure, comprising:

a window substrate; and

the touch sensor according to claim 1 stacked on a surface of the window substrate.

14. The window stack structure according to claim 13 , further comprising a polarizing layer disposed on the surface of the window substrate.

15. An image display device, comprising:

a display panel; and

the touch sensor according to claim 1 stacked on the display panel.
