Claim 15:
16. A display device comprising:
a base layer;
a light emitting element on the base layer; and
an input sensing unit configured to sense a user input,
wherein the input sensing unit includes an electrode unit and a control unit,
wherein the electrode unit includes first electrodes arranged along a first direction and second electrodes arranged along a second direction differ from the first direction,
wherein the control unit is configured to determine a proximity of an object in a first mode or a shape of the object in a second mode, based on capacitance change values of the first electrodes and the second electrodes,
wherein the control unit is configured to be operated in a different capacitance method in the first mode and the second mode,
wherein the control unit is configured to be operated in the first mode based on a self-capacitance method, and
wherein the control unit is configured to merge the capacitance change values to produce a merged value and to determine the proximity of the object based on the merged value in the first mode using the self-capacitance method.
