Original Abstract Submitted

A touch sensing unit that minimizes a contact defect between conductive layers of a touch signal line includes a substrate; a touch electrode disposed in a touch sensor area of the substrate; and a touch signal line connected to the touch electrode and that extends to a touch peripheral area of the substrate. The touch signal line includes a first conductive layer disposed on the substrate, and a second conductive layer disposed on the first conductive layer with an insulating layer interposed therebetween. The second conductive layer is in contact with the first conductive layer through a contact hole in the insulating layer. The first conductive layer includes at least one of Mo, MoNb, Ti or Ta, and the second conductive layer includes at least one of Al or AlNb.
