[0195] Since the plurality of grid lines are connected to the first extension portion EX1 extending longer in the second direction DR2 , the first connection part CNP1 and the first-first sensing part SP1 - 1 may be more firmly connected.
[0196] Because the second-first connection line CL2-1 and the second-second connection line CL2-2 are positioned adjacent to each other and the second extension portion EX2 having a smaller width is between the second-first connection line CL2-1 and the second-second connection line CL2-2, the gap between the second-first connection line CL2-1 and the second-second connection line CL2-2 can be reduced. Accordingly, the length of the second bridge line BR2 in the second direction DR2 can be reduced. The resistance can be proportional to the length and inversely proportional to the area. Because the length of the second bridge line BR2 is reduced, the resistance of the second connection line CL2 can be reduced.
