First Claim
1. A display device comprising:
- a substrate including a display area and a peripheral area around the display area;
a plurality of pixel electrodes to which signals are applied for displaying in the display area;
a common electrode to which another signal is applied for touch detecting and displaying in the display area, the common electrode including a plurality of divided electrodes;
a plurality of common lines formed in the peripheral area so as to be electrically connected to the common electrode, the common lines arranged in a lateral direction and each having an arranged portion;
an insulating layer formed between the common lines and the divided electrodes, the insulating layer having a connecting opening formed above an end portion of each of the plurality of common lines; and
a conductive film formed in the connecting opening and electrically connecting between each of the common lines and corresponding one of the plurality of divided electrodes,wherein a width of the end portion is greater than a width of the arranged portion in a same one of the common lines, andthe width in the lateral direction of the end portion of a longer one of the common lines is greater than the width of a shorter one of the common lines.

Abstract
The presence or absence of touch is detected according to a difference of a capacitance caused by the presence or absence of a material that blocks the electric field formed between the detection electrode and the common electrode. The common electrode includes a plurality of divided electrode portions that is extended in a lateral direction and aligned with each other in a longitudinal direction. Each of the plurality of common lines is electrically connected to at least one of the divided electrode portions. The plurality of common lines is arranged in an area next to the common electrode in the lateral direction of the common electrode, arranged next to each other in a width direction orthogonal to a length thereof, is different in width from each other, and the width of the common lines is wider as the length is longer.
