Claim 13:
14. A display device comprising:
a display panel including an opening at a portion of a display region; and
a touch sensor including a touch active region corresponding to the opening and the display region, the touch sensor being disposed on the display panel,
wherein the touch sensor comprises:
a plurality of first sensor electrodes each including first sensor patterns extending in a first direction, the plurality of first sensor electrodes being arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction;
a plurality of second sensor electrodes each including second sensor patterns extending in the second direction, the plurality of second sensor electrodes being arranged in the first direction;
a connection pattern electrically connecting a first opening sensor pattern of the first sensor patterns disposed adjacent to a first portion of the opening and a second opening sensor pattern of the first sensor patterns disposed adjacent to a second portion of the opening, the second portion being generally opposite to the first portion and the connection pattern extending around but not into the opening;
first routing lines respectively connected to portions of the first sensor electrodes, the first routing lines extending to a peripheral region of the touch active region;
second routing lines respectively connected to portions of the second sensor electrodes, the second routing lines extending to the peripheral region of the touch active region;
a first electrostatic protection line disposed in the peripheral region in a first open loop shape surrounding the first and second routing lines along a circumference periphery of the touch active region, and
a second electrostatic protection line disposed in the peripheral region in a second open loop shape spaced from the first electrostatic protection line with at least one of the first and second routing lines being disposed between the first and second electrostatic protection lines without surrounding the touch active region,
wherein the first portion and the second portion of the opening comprise generally opposed first and second sides.
