Abstract
Disclosed are a display device and an input device. The display device includes: gate and data lines arranged to cross each other and to define a pixel region; a pixel electrode disposed on the pixel region; a sensing element disposed on the pixel region; and a switching element configured to selectively connect the data line with any one of the pixel electrode and sensing element. Such a display device according to an embodiment allows both of a scan signal for the display of an image and an externally input signal to be transferred through the data line. Therefore, the display device according to an embodiment can display an image and input an external signal such as a touch or others, using a simplified configuration.
