Original Abstract Submitted
A sensor device including: a sensor array including sensor nodes; signal lines connected to the sensor nodes; and a sensor driver configured to: select each of the sensor nodes through the signal lines to sense a touch of a user that is adjacent to the sensor array; apply, through a first signal line, a first pulse signal to at least one first sensor node adjacent to the selected sensor node among the sensor nodes; and apply, through a second signal line, a second pulse signal having a polarity reverse to a polarity of the first pulse signal to at least one second sensor node among the sensor nodes, wherein the sensor driver electrically connects the first signal line to the second signal line to adjust voltage levels of the first and the second pulse signals.
