1. A touch sensor, comprising:
a substrate;
a sensing pattern on the substrate, the sensing pattern comprising a first pattern and a second pattern, the first pattern being arranged along a first direction parallel to a surface of the substrate, the second pattern being arranged along a second direction, the second direction being parallel to the surface of the substrate and crossing the first direction, the second pattern comprising unit patterns isolated from each other; and
a plurality of bridge electrodes electrically connecting neighboring unit patterns of the unit patterns, wherein all of the plurality of bridge electrodes have the same extending direction,
wherein an angle between an extending direction of the bridge electrode and the first direction in a planar view is from 45° to 89°;
the substrate, the bridge electrode and the sensing pattern are bent together to form a bending portion, and the bridge electrode extends in a direction the same as a bending direction of the bending portion; and
the bending direction is a direction toward the bending portion of the substrate,
a bending angle between a body of the substrate which is not bent and an end portion of the bending portion is greater than 0° and less than 180°.
