Abstract

A touch panel includes: a substrate having a touch recognition area and a fingerprint recognition area; a plurality of first sensing electrodes in the touch recognition area on the substrate; and a first connection electrode connecting adjacent ones of the first sensing electrodes in a first direction. A portion of the first connection electrode adjacent to the fingerprint recognition area is bent along an edge of the fingerprint recognition area.

Claims (17)

1. A touch panel comprising:

a substrate having a touch recognition area and a fingerprint recognition area;

a plurality of first sensing electrodes arranged in a first direction in the touch recognition area on the substrate, each of the plurality of first sensing electrodes being connected to adjacent ones of the first sensing electrodes;

a plurality of second sensing electrodes in the touch recognition area on the substrate, the plurality of second sensing electrodes being arranged in the first direction and spaced apart from the plurality of first sensing electrodes in a second direction intersecting the first direction, the plurality of second sensing electrodes comprising a second-first sensing electrode and a second-second sensing electrode spaced apart from each other, the fingerprint recognition area being positioned between the second-first sensing electrode and the second-second sensing electrode;

a plurality of fifth sensing electrodes in the touch recognition area on the substrate, the plurality of fifth sensing electrodes insulated from the plurality of first sensing electrodes and the plurality of second sensing electrodes;

a second connection electrode connecting adjacent ones of the plurality of second sensing electrodes in the second direction;

a touch driving unit configured to drive the plurality of first sensing electrodes and the plurality of second sensing electrodes;

a first routing wiring connecting the plurality of first sensing electrodes and the second-first sensing electrode to the touch driving unit;

an auxiliary routing wiring connecting the second-second sensing electrode to the touch driving unit.

2. The touch panel as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a third sensing electrode and a fourth sensing electrode insulated from each other in the fingerprint recognition area on the substrate.

3. The touch panel as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising:

a fingerprint recognition unit configured to drive the third sensing electrode and the fourth sensing electrode;

a third routing wiring connecting the third sensing electrode and the fingerprint recognition unit; and

a fourth routing wiring connecting the fourth sensing electrode and the fingerprint recognition unit.

4. The touch panel as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the touch driving unit and the fingerprint recognition unit oppose each other on the substrate.

5. The touch panel as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a first connection electrode connecting adjacent ones of the plurality of the first sensing electrodes in the first direction.
