Abstract

A display device comprises a display part including a light emitting element disposed in a plurality of emission areas to emit light, a plurality of touch electrodes disposed in a light blocking area surrounding the plurality of emission areas on the display part to sense a touch, a first light blocking part disposed in a part of the light blocking area on the plurality of touch electrodes, a second light blocking part disposed in another part of the light blocking area on the plurality of touch electrodes, and a code pattern determined by a planar shape of the second light blocking part to have position information. The first light blocking part comprises one of an inorganic black pigment and an organic black pigment, and the second light blocking part comprises the other of the inorganic black pigment and the organic black pigment.

Claims (59)
