The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly, to a touch device.

In touch devices, grounding lines are usually set at the junctions or edges of different signal lines to reduce mutual interference between signals and/or reduce external influences (eg, environment, or other electronic components). However, when the touch device is powered on, there may be a corresponding potential difference between the ground line and the signal line, and under high temperature or high humidity, the signal line is prone to moisture (such as water in the environment) Moisture, corrosion, oxidation and/or reduced conductivity caused by air or human sweat when using the touch device). Therefore, the yield, quality or service life of the touch device may be affected.

In recent years, coupled with the design trend of narrow bezels, the above effects may be more serious.

The present invention provides a touch device, which can have better yield, quality or service life.

The touch device of the present invention includes a substrate, a first signal line, a second signal line, a third signal line and a fourth signal line, wherein the substrate has a sensing area and a non-sensing area. The first signal line and the second signal line are located in the non-sensing area and extend to the sensing area.
