Display apparatus and information input apparatus
First Claim
1. A display apparatus, comprising:
- a display panel including a first substrate, a second substrate, and a touch sensor switch incorporated therein, the second substrate being opposed to the first substrate at an interval, the touch sensor switch being disposed in a display area that displays an image,wherein the touch sensor switch includesa first touch electrode provided on a surface of the first substrate, the surface being opposed to the second substrate, anda second touch electrode provided on a surface of the second substrate, the surface being opposed to the first substrate, the first touch electrode and the second touch electrode having an interval therebetween,wherein the touch sensor switch has a structure in which the first touch electrode and the second touch electrode are brought into contact with each other when the display panel is deformed by an external pressure,wherein the first substrate includes a convex portion that protrudes in a convex shape toward the second substrate, the convex portion being formed on the surface opposed to the second substrate,wherein the convex portion has a top surface opposed to the second substrate and includes a flat area formed on the top surface along the surface of the second substrate, andwherein the first touch electrode is formed in the flat area on the convex portion as an isolated pattern.

Abstract
A display apparatus includes a display panel including a first substrate, a second substrate opposed to the first substrate, and a touch sensor switch disposed in a display area that displays an image. The touch sensor switch includes a first touch electrode provided on a surface of the first substrate and a second touch electrode provided on a surface of the second substrate. The touch sensor switch has a structure in which the first and second touch electrodes are brought into contact when the display panel is deformed by an external pressure. The first substrate includes a convex portion that protrudes in a convex shape toward the second substrate. The convex portion has a top surface opposed to the second substrate and includes a flat area formed on the top surface. The first touch electrode is formed in the flat area on the convex portion as an isolated pattern.
