Abstract

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a touch sensing unit includes a touch driving wiring and a sensing electrode unit including a driving electrode pattern connected to the touch driving wiring and a sensing electrode pattern with a rounded corner. The touch driving wiring includes a junction portion connected to the driving electrode pattern and a wiring portion extending from the junction portion and bypassing the sensing electrode unit along the rounded corner of the sensing electrode pattern. A line width of the junction portion is greater than a line width of the wiring portion.

Claims (17)

1. A display device comprising:

a base layer including a sensing area with rounded corners and a non-sensing area surrounding the sensing area;

a plurality of driving electrode patterns disposed in the sensing area and arranged in a first direction;

a plurality of sensing electrode patterns disposed in the sensing area and arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction;

a plurality of touch sensing wirings which are disposed in the non-sensing area, wherein each of the plurality of touch sensing wirings is connected to one of the plurality of sensing electrode patterns; and

a plurality of touch driving wirings disposed in the non-sensing area,

wherein each of the plurality of touch driving wirings is connected to one of the plurality of driving electrode patterns,

wherein the plurality of driving electrode patterns include a first driving electrode pattern disposed adjacent to a first rounded corner of the rounded corners,

wherein the plurality of sensing electrode patterns include a first sensing electrode pattern adjacent to the first rounded corner and adjacent to the first driving electrode pattern,

wherein the first driving electrode pattern has a first curved outer boundary line extending a long the first rounded corner,

wherein the first sensing electrode pattern has a second curved outer boundary line extending a long the first rounded corner,

wherein the plurality of touch driving wirings includes:

a first touch driving wiring including a first junction portion connected to the first driving electrode pattern and overlapping the rounded portion of the first driving electrode pattern in a thickness direction thereof, and a first wiring portion extending from a second side surface of the first junction portion and bypassing the sensing area;

a second touch driving wiring including a second junction portion and connected to a second driving electrode pattern among the plurality of driving electrode patterns, the second junction portion disposed adjacent to an upper recessed portion of the sensing area and overlapping the second driving electrode pattern in a thickness direction thereof, wherein the upper recessed portion is connected to the first rounded corner and is indented toward an inside of the sensing area relative to the first rounded corner;

a third touch driving wiring most adjacent to the first junction portion of the first touch driving wiring; and

a fourth touch driving wiring most adjacent to the second junction portion of the second touch driving wiring, and

wherein a first shortest distance between the first junction portion and the third touch driving wiring is smaller than a second shortest distance between the second junction portion and the fourth touch driving wiring.
