1. A display device, comprising:
a substrate comprising a first area having a pixel area and a second area adjacent to the first area;
pixels comprising organic light emitting elements in the pixel area of the substrate;
a sealing thin film covering the first area of the substrate and including an inclined surface at an end of the sealing thin film;
sensing cells formed on the sealing thin film and configured to sense a touch;
sensing lines coupled to the sensing cells and formed on the sealing thin film;
a driving circuit formed on the second area of the substrate; and
a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) attached to one end of the substrate,
wherein:
at least one of the sensing lines is disposed on the inclined surface of the sealing thin film and on the second area of the substrate;
the inclined surface of the sealing thin film is formed to be inclined downwardly toward the driving circuit;
the at least one of the sensing lines includes an inclined portion along the inclined surface of the sealing thin film;
the sensing lines comprise:
a first group concentrated in a first line area of the second area of the substrate; and
a second group concentrated in a second line area of the second area of the substrate;
the first group of the sensing lines and the second group of the sensing lines extend in the second area of the substrate with the driving circuit interposed therebetween;
the sealing thin film comprises at least one organic layer and at least one inorganic layer;
the at least one inorganic layer includes an inorganic layer disposed on an uppermost portion of the sealing thin film;
the sensing lines are formed on the inorganic layer of the sealing thin film in the second area of the substrate;
the sensing lines comprise a metallic material including aluminum and titanium; and
the sensing lines are electrically connected to the FPCB at the one end of the substrate.
