Claim 2:
3. An organic light emitting diode (“LED”) device, comprising:
a substrate;
a plurality of thin film transistors (“TFT”s) on the buffer layer, each TFT comprising an active layer, a gate electrode, a source electrode, and a drain electrode;
a plurality of organic LEDs, each electrically connected to one of the plurality of TFTs;
a touch sensor comprising first sensor electrodes, second sensor electrodes, and connecting wires on the substrate; and
dummy patterns, which are in a floating state and disposed on the substrate,
wherein a pair of first sensor electrodes are electrically connected to each other via one of the connecting wires,
wherein the first sensor electrodes, the second sensor electrodes, and the dummy patterns are arranged on the same layer,
wherein the first sensor electrodes, the second sensor electrodes, the connecting wires, the source electrode, the drain electrode, and the dummy patterns comprise metallic materials,
wherein a first portion of the one of the first sensor electrodes mainly extends in a first direction in a plan view,
wherein a second portion of the one of the first sensor electrodes mainly extends in a second direction intersecting the first direction in a plan view,
wherein, in a plan view, the second portion of the one of the first sensor electrodes is disposed between a pair of organic LEDs from among the plurality of organic LEDs immediately next to each other in the first direction and overlaps the first portion of the one of the first sensor electrodes in the second direction,
wherein a side of one of the pair of organic LEDs faces the second portion of the one of the first sensor electrodes in a plan view, and
wherein an opposite side of the one of the pair of organic LEDs opposite to the side of the one of the pair of organic LEDs in the first direction is exposed to the one of the second sensor electrodes in a plan view.
