Abstract

A display device includes a display panel, and an input sensing part disposed on the display panel and in which an active region and a non-active region around the active region are defined. The input sensing part includes a plurality of sensing electrodes dispose in the active region, a plurality of sensing lines electrically connected to the sensing electrodes and disposed in the non-active region, and a guard line, a ground line, and an electromagnetic attenuating line spaced apart from the sensing lines and disposed in the non-active region. The guard line, the ground line, and the electromagnetic attenuating line are disposed at an outside of the sensing lines.

Claims (50)

1. A display device, comprising:

a display panel; and

an input sensing part disposed on the display panel, the input sensing part including an active region and a non-active region at least partially surrounding the active region,

wherein the input sensing part further includes:

a plurality of sensing electrodes disposed within the active region;

a plurality of sensing lines connected to the plurality of sensing electrodes and disposed within the non-active region;

a guard line spaced apart from the plurality of sensing lines and disposed within the non-active region;

a ground line spaced apart from the plurality of sensing lines and disposed within the non-active region; and

an electromagnetic attenuating line spaced apart from the plurality of sensing lines and disposed within the non-active region.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the electromagnetic attenuating line is disposed between the guard line and the ground line.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein a shortest distance between the guard line and the plurality of sensing lines is shorter than a shortest distance between the electromagnetic attenuating line and the plurality of sensing lines.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein an offset signal applied to the electromagnetic attenuating line has a phase that is reverse with respect to a phase of a driving signal applied to the plurality of sensing electrodes.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the offset signal has an amplitude that is greater than an amplitude of the driving signal.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the guard line, the electromagnetic attenuating line, and the ground line each surround three out of four sides of the active region, and

wherein the guard line, the electromagnetic attenuating line, and the ground line are each electrically connected to pads disposed within the non-active region that is adjacent to a side of the active region that is not one of the three sides surrounded by the guard line, the electromagnetic attenuating line, and the ground line.

7. The display device of claim 5 , wherein a portion of the guard line, a portion of the electromagnetic attenuating line, and a portion of the ground line are each open.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the guard line, the electromagnetic attenuating line, and the ground line each include multiple layers.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display panel includes:

a substrate;

a display device layer disposed on the substrate;

an encapsulating substrate disposed on the display device layer; and

a sealing layer disposed between the substrate and the encapsulating substrate, the sealing layer sealing the display device layer, and overlapping the non-active region.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the guard line, the electromagnetic attenuating line, and the ground line each overlap the sealing layer.

11. The display device of claim 9 , wherein none of the guard line, the electromagnetic attenuating line, and the ground line overlap the sealing layer.

12. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the electromagnetic attenuating line is provided in plural.

13. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a line width of the electromagnetic attenuating line is wider than a line width of each of the guard line and the ground line.

14. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a shortest distance between the electromagnetic attenuating line and the plurality of sensing lines is shorter than each of a shortest distance between the guard line and the plurality of sensing lines and a shortest distance between the ground line and the plurality of sensing lines.

15. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a shortest distance between the guard line and the plurality of sensing lines is shorter than a shortest distance between the ground line and the plurality of sensing lines.

16. An input sensing part, comprising:

a plurality of sensing electrodes disposed within an active region;

a plurality of sensing lines electrically connected to the plurality of sensing electrodes and disposed within a non-active region that at least partially surrounds the active region;

a guard line spaced apart from the plurality of sensing lines and disposed within the non-active region;

a ground line spaced apart from the plurality of sensing lines and disposed within the non-active region; and

an electromagnetic attenuating line spaced apart from the plurality of sensing lines and disposed within the non-active region,

wherein the electromagnetic attenuating line is disposed between the guard line and the ground line, and

wherein a shortest distance between the guard line and the plurality of sensing lines is shorter than a shortest distance between the electromagnetic attenuating line and the plurality of sensing lines.

17. The input sensing part of claim 16 , wherein an offset signal applied to the electromagnetic attenuating line has a phase that is reverse with respect to a phase of a driving signal applied to the sensing electrodes, and

wherein the offset signal has an amplitude that is greater than an amplitude of the driving signal.

18. The input sensing part of claim 16 , wherein a portion of the guard line, a portion of the electromagnetic attenuating line, and a portion of the ground line are open.

19. The input sensing part of claim 16 , wherein the guard line, the electromagnetic attenuating line, and the ground line each include multiple layers.

20. A display device, comprising:

a display panel including a substrate, an encapsulating substrate disposed on the substrate, a display device layer disposed between the substrate and the encapsulating substrate, and a sealing layer disposed between the substrate and the encapsulating substrate and sealing the display device layer, and

an input sensing part disposed on the display panel,

wherein the input sensing part includes:

a plurality of sensing electrodes;
