Claim Text:
1. A touch sensor integrated type display device comprising: a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines which are formed to cross over each other; a plurality of pixel electrodes respectively formed in pixel areas defined by crossings of the plurality of gate lines and the plurality of data lines; a first electrode formed between first pixel electrodes and in parallel with a first gate line of the plurality of gate lines, the first pixel electrodes being adjacent to each other with the first gate line interposed therebetween a first electrode formed between first pixel electrodes and in parallel with a first gate line of the plurality of gate lines, the first pixel electrodes being adjacent to each other with the first gate line interposed therebetween, and the first electrode serving as one of a touch driving electrode and a touch sensing electrode for a touch operation; a plurality of second electrodes formed between second pixel electrodes and arranged in a line in parallel with a second gate line adjacent to the first gate line, the second pixel electrodes being adjacent to each other with the second gate line interposed therebetween; and a plurality of third electrodes, each of which is formed in parallel with the data lines and contacts the plurality of second electrodes without contacting the first electrode, wherein at least a portion of each of the plurality of third electrodes overlaps the first and second pixel electrodes, wherein the plurality of third electrodes serve as touch sensing electrodes if the first electrode serves as the touch driving electrode, and serve as touch driving electrodes if the first electrode serves as the touch sensing electrode for the touch operation, and wherein the plurality of third electrodes serve as common electrodes with a common voltage for a display operation.
