Abstract

A display device includes a substrate, a pixel layer disposed on the substrate, an encapsulation layer disposed on the pixel layer, and a touch screen layer disposed on the encapsulation layer. The touch screen layer includes a plurality of first sensing patterns arranged in a first direction and a plurality of second sensing patterns arranged in a second direction that is different from the first direction. Each of the plurality of first sensing patterns and each of the plurality of second sensing patterns includes a plurality of touch wires. Each of the touch wires includes a first touch wire and a second touch wire disposed on the first touch wire. The display device further includes a light-shielding inclined film disposed on a side surface of the first touch wire and a side surface of the second touch wire.

Claims (59)

1 . A display device, comprising:

a substrate;

an encapsulation layer disposed on the pixel layer;

a touch screen layer disposed on the encapsulation layer,

wherein the touch screen layer comprises a plurality of first sensing patterns arranged in a first direction and a plurality of second sensing patterns arranged in a second direction that is different from the first direction,

each of the plurality of first sensing patterns and each of the plurality of second sensing patterns comprises a plurality of touch wires, and

each of the touch wires comprises a first touch wire and a second touch wire disposed on the first touch wire; and

a light-shielding inclined film disposed on a side surface of the first touch wire and a side surface of the second touch wire; and

a color filter disposed between the touch screen layer and the encapsulation layer; and

a light-shielding member disposed on the touch wires,

wherein the light-shielding inclined film covers the side surface of the first touch wire, and the light-shielding member covers the second touch wire.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first insulating layer disposed between the first touch wire and the second touch wire.

3 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first touch wire and the second touch wire are electrically connected to each other.

4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the light-shielding inclined film comprises a first light-shielding inclined film disposed on the side surface of the first touch wire and a second light-shielding inclined film disposed on the side surface of the second touch wire.

5 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the light-shielding inclined film comprises a black pigment.

6 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the touch wires comprises a first metal layer, a third metal layer disposed on the first metal layer, and a second metal layer disposed between the first metal layer and the third metal layer.

7 . The display device of claim 6 , wherein the first metal layer and the third metal layer comprise titanium (Ti), and the second metal layer comprises aluminum (Al).

8 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:
