Abstract
According to one embodiment, a display device includes a display panel having a counter substrate, an array substrate and a liquid crystal layer held therebetween, a counter electrode provided on the counter substrate, a pixel electrode arranged on the array substrate in a matrix, a sensor circuit arranged between rows of the plurality of pixel electrodes and configured to read out intensity of capacitive coupling between the sensor circuit and a dielectric, and a counter electrode drive circuit configured to pulsatively drive a common voltage added to the counter electrode during a period of driving the sensor circuit, wherein the sensor circuit comprises a detection electrode configured to form capacitance between the sensor circuit and the dielectric and to form capacitance between the sensor circuit and the counter electrode, and wherein the counter electrode comprises an aperture including at least a portion opposed to the detection electrode.
