DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING AN INPUT SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18319970 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING AN INPUT SENSOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a display device with a display panel and an input sensor. The display panel has a long side and a short side, and the input sensor is placed on the display panel. The input sensor includes first sensing electrodes that extend along the long side in the first direction, second sensing electrodes that extend along the short side in the second direction, first signal lines connected to the first sensing electrodes, and second signal lines connected to the second sensing electrodes. Each first sensing electrode is connected to two or more first signal lines, and at least one of the first signal lines overlaps the first sensing electrodes in a plan view.

  • The display device has a display panel with an input sensor.
  • The input sensor includes first and second sensing electrodes.
  • The first sensing electrodes extend along the long side of the display panel.
  • The second sensing electrodes extend along the short side of the display panel.
  • The first sensing electrodes are connected to first signal lines.
  • The second sensing electrodes are connected to second signal lines.
  • Each first sensing electrode is connected to two or more first signal lines.
  • At least one of the first signal lines overlaps the first sensing electrodes in a plan view.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Touchscreen displays for smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices.
  • Interactive whiteboards and displays for educational and business purposes.
  • Gaming consoles and devices with touch-sensitive screens.
  • Control panels and interfaces for various electronic systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Enables accurate and responsive touch input on display panels.

Original Abstract Submitted

A display device includes a display panel including a long side extending in a first direction and a short side extending in a second direction crossing the first direction and an input sensor disposed on the display panel. The input sensor includes first sensing electrodes each extending in the first direction along the long side, second sensing electrodes each extending in the second direction along the short side, first signal lines electrically connected to the first sensing electrodes, and second signal lines electrically connected to the second sensing electrodes. Each of the first sensing electrodes is electrically connected to two or more first signal lines among the first signal lines, and at least one of the two or more first signal lines overlaps the first sensing electrodes in a plan view.
