Abstract

A display device includes a display region including a plurality of pixels and a separation region between each of the plurality of pixels and a touch sensor overlapping the display region. The touch sensor includes a sensor electrode and an insulating layer. The sensor electrode includes a first sensor electrode pattern overlapping at least one of the plurality of pixels and a second sensor electrode pattern overlapping at least a part of the separation region. The insulating layer is arranged between the first sensor electrode pattern and the second sensor electrode pattern, and overlaps the first sensor electrode pattern, and covers a first region of the first sensor electrode pattern. The second sensor electrode pattern is arranged on the insulating layer and the first sensor electrode pattern, and connected to a second region of the first sensor electrode pattern.

Claims (28)

1. A display device comprising: a display region including a plurality of pixels and a separation region between each of the plurality of pixels; and a touch sensor overlapping the display region; wherein the touch sensor includes a sensor electrode and an insulating layer, the sensor electrode includes a first sensor electrode pattern overlapping at least one of the plurality of pixels and a second sensor electrode pattern overlapping at least a part of the separation region, the insulating layer is arranged between the first sensor electrode pattern and the second sensor electrode pattern, and overlaps the first sensor electrode pattern, and covers a first region of the first sensor electrode pattern, and the second sensor electrode pattern is arranged on the insulating layer and the first sensor electrode pattern, and connected to a second region of the first sensor electrode pattern.

2. The display device according to claim 1 further comprising:
