Patent number: 10761640Abstract: According to one embodiment, a display device includes first electrodes overlapping a display area, a cover base covering the display area and a frame area, a second electrode arranged in the cover base and overlapping the frame area, a touch detection driver configured to output a drive signal to the second electrode, and a level shifter arranged between the second electrode and the touch detection driver, and configured to increase a signal level of the drive signal and output the drive signal having the increased signal level to the second electrode. The touch detection driver is configured to detect contact or proximity to an object with the frame area based on electrostatic capacitance between the first electrodes and the second electrode.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Japan Display Inc.Inventors: Yasuyuki Teranishi, Takafumi Suzuki, Michita Kudo

Patent number: 10592025Abstract: According to one embodiment, a display device includes a display panel including a first substrate including a display area and a first detection electrode, and a second force sensing electrode opposing the display area and the first detection electrode with a gap therebetween. The second force sensing electrode includes a central portion opposing a central portion of the display region, a peripheral portion located to surround the central portion and a reinforcing structure which reinforces the peripheral portion, and the gap between the central portion and the first detection electrode is greater than a gap between the peripheral portion and the first detection electrode.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: Japan Display Inc.Inventors: Koji Noguchi, Takafumi Suzuki, Michita Kudo

Patent number: 10579196Abstract: A display device includes a first substrate, a plurality of first electrodes, a second electrode, a third electrode, and a driver. The first electrodes are disposed in a display region of the first substrate. The second electrode faces the first electrodes in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the first substrate and forms capacitance between the second electrode and the first electrodes. The third electrode is provided in a peripheral region positioned on the outside of the display region and does not overlap the first electrodes in planar view. The driver supplies a drive signal to the third electrode and at least one of the first electrodes simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Japan Display Inc.Inventors: Michita Kudo, Yasuyuki Teranishi, Takafumi Suzuki

Patent number: 10540038Abstract: A display device includes a substrate, a plurality of first electrodes, a plurality of second electrodes, at least one third electrode, and a drive circuit. The first electrodes are arrayed in an active area of the substrate. The second electrodes face the first electrodes and form capacitance between the first electrodes and the second electrodes. The third electrode is provided in a peripheral region positioned on the outside of the active area. The drive circuit supplies a drive signal having a phase determined based on a predetermined code to the first electrodes and the third electrode.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Japan Display Inc.Inventors: Takafumi Suzuki, Yasuyuki Teranishi, Michita Kudo
