Patent ID: 8411212

Claim:
A display device, comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate positioned so as to face the first substrate; and a display medium layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein a counter electrode is formed in the second substrate, a pixel electrode facing the counter electrode, and a switching element connected to the pixel electrode, for driving and switching the display medium layer, are formed in each of a plurality of pixels in the first substrate, a touch electrode and a detection element are positioned in at least two of the pixels, the touch electrode is formed in the first substrate, and is positioned so as to face the counter electrode, and the touch electrode contacts the counter electrode and is electrically connected thereto when the second substrate is pressed and bent toward the first substrate, the detection element is connected to the touch electrode, and detects the electrical connection between the touch electrode and the counter electrode, a gate line and a source line extending so as to cross the gate line are connected to the switching element, and a first detection line extending along the gate line, and the source line are connected to the detection element.
