Display device

A display device includes a display panel, an input sensing layer disposed on the display panel and which outputs a sensing signal in response to an external input and an approach of an object, and a sensing controller which controls a drive of the input sensing layer and receives the sensing signal from the input sensing layer. The sensing controller includes a location sensing block which generates a location information signal including location information of the external input in response to the sensing signal, and an approach sensing block which determines whether the object approaches in response to the sensing signal and generates an approach information signal.
