Abstract

A display device includes a display panel, an input sensor, and a circuit board. The input sensor includes first detection electrodes arranged in a first direction, second detection electrodes arranged in a second direction, first detection wires respectively electrically connected to the first detection electrodes, and second detection wires respectively electrically connected to the second detection electrodes. Resistance values of the first detection wires decrease as a corresponding first detection electrode among the first detection electrodes is disposed closer to a center of the display panel. Resistance values of the second detection wires increase as a corresponding second detection electrode among the second detection electrodes moves away from the circuit board, and a difference between the resistance values of the second detection wires adjacent to each other increases as the corresponding second detection electrode moves away from the circuit board.

Claims (33)

1. A display device, comprising:

a display panel including a plurality of pixels;

an input sensor including:

first detection electrodes arranged in a first direction and each extending in a second direction crossing the first direction;

second detection electrodes arranged in the second direction and each extending in the first direction;

first detection wires respectively electrically connected to the first detection electrodes;

second detection wires respectively electrically connected to the second detection electrodes, and disposed on the display panel; and

a circuit board disposed adjacent to an end of the display panel, the circuit board extending in the first direction and electrically connected to the first and second detection wires,

wherein resistance values of the first detection wires decrease as a corresponding first detection electrode, among the first detection electrodes, is disposed further towards a center of the display panel,

wherein resistance values of the second detection wires increase as a corresponding second detection electrode, among the second detection electrodes, moves away from the circuit board, and a difference between the resistance values of adjacent members of the second detection wires increases as the corresponding second detection electrode moves away from the circuit board,

wherein the display panel comprises an active area in which the pixels are disposed and a peripheral area proximate to the active area,

wherein the pixel comprises a driving circuit including at least one transistor, and a light emitting element including a first electrode electrically connected to the driving circuit, a second electrode, and a light emitting layer disposed between the first and second electrodes,

wherein noise generated from the second electrode increases towards a center of the active area in the first direction, and increases away from the circuit board in the second direction, and

wherein a rate of increase in the second direction of the noise generated from the second electrode decreases as a distance from the circuit board increases.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a length of each of the first detection electrodes in the second direction is longer than a length of each of the second detection electrodes in the first direction.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first detection wires are respectively electrically connected to ends of the first detection electrodes,

wherein the second detection wires are respectively electrically connected to ends of the second detection electrodes, and

wherein the ends of the first detection electrodes are adjacent to the circuit board.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the display panel further comprises:

at least one signal line electrically connected to the pixel; and

a display pad part to which the at least one signal line is electrically connected,

wherein the input sensor further comprises an input pad part to which the first and second detection wires are electrically connected, and

wherein the at least one signal line is electrically connected to the circuit board through the display pad part, and the first and second detection wires are electrically connected to the circuit board through the input pad part.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the input pad part is spaced apart from one side of the display pad part.

6. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the input pad part comprises a first part and a second part that is spaced apart from the first part on both sides of the display pad part,

wherein some of the first detection wires are electrically connected to the first part and other parts of the first detection wires are electrically connected to the second part, and

wherein each of the second detection wires are electrically connected to the first part.

7. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the input sensor further comprises third detection wires respectively electrically connected to the other ends of the first detection electrodes, and

wherein resistance values of the third detection wires decrease as a corresponding first detection electrode, among the first detection electrodes, is disposed further towards a center of the display panel.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second detection wires has a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the input sensor further comprises:
