1. A display device comprising:
- a display panel having a display area;
a touch panel having a sensing enable area overlapping with the display area, and a peripheral area outside of the sensing enable area; and
a cover substrate including a light transmission area overlapping with the display area and the sensing enable area, and a light shielding area surrounding the light transmission area,wherein the touch panel has a transparent electrode and a metal layer that overlaps with the transparent electrode in the sensing enable area, and has a metal line in the peripheral area, and the transparent electrode is electrically connected to the metal line, andwherein the light shielding area of the cover substrate covers the metal line of the touch panel and the metal layer formed in the sensing enable area.

Abstract
A touch panel includes a transparent electrode for sensing and a metal mark that overlaps with the transparent electrode in a sensing enable area, and a metal line that extends along a contour of the sensing enable area in a peripheral area. The transparent electrode is electrically connected to the metal line. A light shielding area of a cover substrate includes a first portion that overlaps with the peripheral area, and a second portion that partially overlaps with the sensing enable area so as to cover the transparent electrode and the metal mark.
