Display device with integrated touch screen having dummy electrodes
First Claim
1. A display device with an integrated touch screen, comprising:
- a panel divided into a display area and a non-display area and including m (m is a natural number) driving electrodes, m signal lines, a plurality of dummy electrodes, and a plurality of auxiliary lines, each of the dummy electrodes being connected to one of the auxiliary lines;
a display driver IC applying a common voltage or a touch scan signal to the m driving electrodes through the m signal lines; and
a touch IC generating the touch scan signal and providing the touch scan signal to the display driver IC,wherein the m driving electrodes are disposed in the display area and the dummy electrodes are disposed in the non-display area, and wherein the dummy electrodes are adjacent to the driving electrodes in a peripheral region of the display area;
wherein, when the panel is driven in a touch driving mode, the display driver IC applies the touch scan signal to the m driving electrodes through the m signal lines and to the dummy electrodes through the auxiliary lines, and the touch IC receives touch sensing signals according to the touch scan signal from the m driving electrodes through the m signal lines and from the dummy electrodes through the auxiliary lines; and
wherein each of the dummy electrodes is connected to the display driver IC through a corresponding one of the auxiliary lines.
