Display device

Abstract

A display device includes a display panel and a touch sensing unit including touch signal lines (TSL) and sensor columns (SCs) including sensor blocks (SBs). Each SB includes a first sensor (FS) and i (i being ≥2) second sensors (SSs). The TSLs include: first signal lines (FSLs) respectively connected to some of the FSs, a portion of each of the FSLs extending to a first end of a corresponding SC from a corresponding sensor of the some of the FSs; second signal lines (SSLs) respectively connected to other FSs, a portion of each of the SSLs extending to a second end of the corresponding SC from a corresponding sensor of the other FSs; and third signal lines connecting a j-th (j being ≤1) SS of an n-th (n being ≥1) SB to an (i-j+1)-th SS of an (n+1)-th SB.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A display device comprising:
 a display panel; and   a touch sensing unit on the display panel, the touch sensing unit comprising touch signal lines and sensor columns comprising k (k being a natural number greater than or equal to three) sensor blocks arranged in a first direction,   wherein each of the k sensor blocks comprises:
 a first sensor; and 
 (i being a natural number greater than or equal to three) second sensors arranged in the first direction, 
   wherein the touch signal lines comprise:
 first signal lines respectively connected to the first sensors; and 
 second signal lines comprising first portions and second portions spaced apart from the first portions, 
   wherein the first portions connect a j-th (j being a natural number greater than or equal to is one and less than or equal to i) second sensor of the i second sensors of an nth (n being a natural number greater than or equal to one) sensor block of the k sensor blocks to an (i-j+1)-th second sensor of the i second sensors of an (n+1)-th sensor block of the k sensor blocks,   wherein the second portions connect a j-th second sensor of the i second sensors of the n+1)-th sensor block of the k sensors blocks to an (i-j+1)-th second sensor of the i second sensors of an (n+2)-th sensor block of the k sensor blocks,   wherein the first portions are disposed at one side of the i second sensors of the n-th sensor block and the i second sensors of the (n+1)-th sensor block, and   wherein the second portions are disposed at another one side of the i second sensors of the (n+1)-th sensor block and the i second sensors of the (n+2)-th sensor block, the one side being different from the another one side.
