Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A touch sensor comprising:
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;
an opening in a touch active region separated from the first sensor electrodes and the second sensor electrodes;
a first connection pattern disposed around but not in the opening, the first connection pattern electrically connecting first opening sensor patterns of the first sensor patterns that are adjacent to respective portions of 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; and
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.
