    Abstract: A touch sensor includes: a sensing area including a first sensing area positioned in a center portion and a second sensing area positioned outwardly therefrom in an edge portion; first sensor electrodes disposed in the first sensing area; and second sensor electrodes disposed in the second sensing area, the second sensor electrodes being configured to be separately activated from the first sensor electrodes. The first sensor electrodes are drivable to detect a touch input generated in the first sensing area in a first mode and the second sensor electrodes are drivable to detect a touch input generated in the second sensing area in a second mode.

    Abstract: A touch sensor includes a base, first sensing electrode columns (FSECs), and second sensing electrode columns (SSECs). The base includes a sensing region (SR) including a rounded corner (RC), and a non-SR outside the SR. The FSECs extend in a direction on the base, each FSEC among the FSECs including first sensing electrodes (FSEs), each FSE among the FSEs including sub-electrodes. The SSECs are alternately disposed with the FSECs on the base, each SSEC among the SSECs including second sensing electrodes (SSEs). Sub-electrodes of one of adjacent FSEs among the FSEs are electrically connected to respective sub-electrodes of another of the adjacent FSEs. A sub-electrode closest to the RC among the sub-electrodes includes a rounded edge (RE) corresponding to the RC. A SSE closest to the RC among the SSEs includes a RE corresponding to the RC, and a protrusion part protruding toward the sub-electrode including the RE.
