Abstract

A display device includes: a display layer; plural first electrodes formed to be arranged above the display layer; a shield electrode formed apart from the plural first electrodes so as to surround the whole plural first electrodes along an arrangement surface; an insulating layer; and a semiconductive layer formed opposite to the first electrodes and the shield electrode so as to sandwich the insulating layer, wherein the difference between an average potential of the first electrodes and an average potential of the shield electrode is equal to or less than 0.5V.

Claims (66)

1. A display device comprising:

a display layer;

a transparent substrate arranged above the display layer;

plural first electrodes arranged on the transparent substrate;

a shield electrode arranged on the transparent substrate, the shield electrode being apart from the plural first electrodes so as to surround the whole plural first electrodes along an arrangement surface,

an insulating layer arranged on the plural first electrodes and the shield electrode; and

a semiconductive layer arranged on the insulating layer,

wherein the insulating layer is arranged between the semiconductive layer and a layer including the plural first electrodes and the shield electrode, and

the difference between an average potential of the first electrodes and an average potential of the shield electrode is equal to or less than 0.5V.

2. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the average potential of the shield electrode is equal to or higher than the average potential of the first electrodes.

3. The display device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the average potential of the shield electrode is approximately the same as the average potential of the first electrodes.

4. The display device according to claim 2 ,

wherein an arrangement area of the shield electrode is smaller than an arrangement area of the first electrodes.

5. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the semiconductive layer is an electrostatic prevention layer.

6. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the semiconductive layer is a polarizing plate.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

second electrodes formed at the same position as the first electrode or a position farther from the semiconductive layer so as to sandwich the insulating layer.

8. The display device according to claim 7 ,

wherein the first electrodes are touch detection electrodes transmitting signals corresponding to contact/non-contact and the second electrodes are drive electrodes forming capacitance between the second electrodes and the touch detection electrodes.

9. The display device described according to claim 7 ,

wherein the second electrodes are touch detection electrodes transmitting signals corresponding to contact/non-contact and the first electrodes are drive electrodes forming capacitance between the first electrodes and the touch detection electrodes.

10. The display device according to claim 7 ,

wherein the difference between an average potential of the second electrodes and an average potential of the shield electrode is equal to or less than 0.5V.

11. The display device according to claim 8 ,

wherein the display section has

a liquid crystal layer,

pixel electrodes formed between the liquid crystal layer and the drive electrodes, or arranged opposite to the liquid crystal layer so as to sandwich the drive electrodes.

12. The display device according to claim 8 ,

wherein the display section has

a liquid crystal layer and

pixel electrodes arranged opposite to the drive electrode so as to sandwich the liquid crystal layer.

13. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first electrodes are touch detection electrodes transmitting signals corresponding to contact/non-contact.

14. A display device comprising:

a semiconductive layer arranged on the insulating layer,

wherein the insulating layer is arranged between the semiconductive layer and a layer including the plural first electrode and the shield electrode, and

an average potential of the shield electrode is equal to or higher than an average potential the first electrodes.

15. A touch detection device comprising:

a transparent substrate arranged above the display layer;

plural first electrodes arranged on the transparent substrate;

a shield electrode arranged on the transparent substrate, the shield electrode being apart from the plural first electrodes so as to surround the whole plural first electrodes along an arrangement surface;

an insulating layer arranged on the plural first electrode and the shield electrode; and

a semiconductive layer arranged on the insulating layer,

wherein the insulating layer is arranged between the semiconductive layer and a layer including the plural first electrodes and the shield electrode, and

the difference between an average potential of the first electrodes and an average potential of the shield electrode is equal to or less than 0.5V.

16. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a display device; and

a control unit performing operation control using the display device,

wherein the display device includes

a display layer,

a transparent substrate arranged above the display layer;

plural first electrodes arranged on the transparent substrate,
