Display device
First Claim
1. A display device comprising a plurality of pixels, a pixel of the plurality of pixels including a plurality of domains, the plurality of domains of the pixel having different aligning directions of liquid crystal molecules from each other,wherein the pixel comprises a plurality of sub-optical patterns which are respectively disposed in the plurality of domains, andat least one of the sub-optical patterns includes a portion disposed inside an opening of the pixel where light is transmitted,wherein the plurality of sub-optical patterns uniquely identifies an attribute of the pixel among the plurality of pixels.

Abstract
Touch-related information which cannot be acquired by the naked eye (dubbed here as sub-optical pattern information) has its corresponding sub-optical patterns respectively positioned within the aperture areas of respective domains such that the displayed image, as viewed from different viewing angles is not adversely affected by the embedded sub-optical patterns. One type of touch-related information which can be conveyed is that of touch location of a sub-optical pattern sensing pen positioned over one or more of the sub-optical patterns.
