Abstract

A display device is provided, which has a display region and includes: a substrate having a first surface and a second surface; a driving layer disposed on the first surface; a self-emitting layer disposed on the driving layer and including a reflective electrode; a plurality of sensors overlapping the display region in a normal direction of the first surface; a pixel defining layer disposed on the reflective electrode, wherein the pixel defining layer comprises a top surface and a bottom surface facing the driving layer; a spacer disposed on the top surface; and a plurality of first touch electrodes and second touch electrodes disposed in the display region, wherein in the normal direction of the first surface, at least two sensors overlaps one of the first touch electrodes or one of the second touch electrodes; wherein the sensors are adjacent to the second surface away from the driving layer.

Claims (18)

1 . A display device having a display region, comprising:

a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;

a driving layer disposed on the first surface of the substrate;

a self-emitting layer disposed on the driving layer and comprising a reflective electrode;

a plurality of sensors overlapping the display region in a normal direction of the first surface of the substrate;

a pixel defining layer disposed on the reflective electrode, wherein the pixel defining layer comprises a top surface and a bottom surface opposite to the top surface, and the bottom surface faces the driving layer;

a spacer disposed on the top surface of the pixel defining layer; and

a plurality of first touch electrodes and a plurality of second touch electrodes disposed in the display region,

wherein in the normal direction of the first surface of the substrate, at least two of the plurality of sensors overlaps one of the plurality of first touch electrodes or one of the plurality of second touch electrodes;

wherein the plurality of sensors are adjacent to the second surface of the substrate away from the driving layer;

wherein the spacer overlaps one of the plurality of first touch electrodes or one of the plurality of second touch electrodes in the normal direction of the first surface of the substrate.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein an area of one of the plurality of sensors is less than an area of one of the plurality of first touch electrodes.

3 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein an area of one of the plurality of sensors is less than an area of one of the plurality of second touch electrodes.

4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein in a direction perpendicular to the normal direction of the first surface of the substrate, one of the plurality of sensors and the spacer are separated by a first distance, and the first distance is greater than 0.

5 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors are disposed below the substrate.

6 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display region comprises a plurality of light emitting regions, in a direction perpendicular to the normal direction of the first surface of the substrate, one of the plurality of sensors and one of the plurality of light emitting regions are separated by a second distance, and the second distance is greater than 0.

7 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the spacer have a tapered profile.

8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the spacer comprises a main portion and a lower portion, and a thickness of the main portion is different from a thickness of the lower portion.
