Claim 17:
18. A display device comprising:
a first sensing area and a second sensing area;
a light emitting element;
a plurality of (1_1)th sensors and a plurality of (2_1)th sensors, disposed in the first sensing area;
a plurality of (1_2)th sensors and a plurality of (2_2)th sensors, disposed in the second sensing area;
a plurality of connection patterns electrically connecting the plurality of the (2_1)th sensors and the plurality of (2_2)th sensors to each other;
a division region separating the first sensing area and the second sensing area from each other, wherein, when viewed in a plan view, the plurality of (1_1)th sensors and the plurality of (1_2)th sensors are separated from each other by the division region;
a sensor driver configured to drive the plurality of (1_1)th sensors, the plurality of (2_1)th sensors, the plurality of (1_2)th sensors, and the plurality of (2_2)th sensors,
wherein the plurality of (1_1)th sensors include a first row sensor electrode and a second row sensor electrode, the sensor driver is configured to provide, during a first time period, a first phase sensing signal and a second phase sensing signal to the second row sensor electrode and the first row sensor electrode, respectively, and the first phase sensing signal and the second phase sensing signal are different from each other, and
wherein the sensor driver is configured to further provide the second phase sensing signal and the first phase sensing signal to the second row sensor electrode and the first row sensor electrode, respectively, during a second time period after the first time period.
