Abstract

A display device includes a display panel and a circuit board. The display panel includes a display region and a bonding region. A plurality of pixels is disposed in the display region. The bonding region is spaced apart from the display region in a first direction. A plurality of pad electrodes is disposed in the bonding region. The circuit board is disposed on the display panel. The circuit board includes a first portion overlapping the display panel between the display region and the bonding region in a plan view. Accordingly, a dead space of the display device may be reduced, and a region in which a battery or the like is disposed in the display device may be secured by reducing an area in which the circuit board is disposed after the display panel is bent.

Claims (56)

1 . A display device comprising:

a display panel including:

a display region in which a plurality of pixels are disposed; and

a bonding region spaced apart from the display region in a first direction and in which a plurality of pad electrodes are disposed; and

a circuit board disposed on the display panel and including a first portion overlapping the display panel between the display region and the bonding region in a plan view; and

a driving chip disposed on the display panel between the display region and the bonding region,

wherein a first hole is defined in the circuit board at a position accommodating the driving chip in a plan view, and

wherein an area of the first hole is greater than an area of the driving chip.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the circuit board further includes a second portion, and

the second portion extends from the first portion in the first direction and overlaps the bonding region of the display panel in a plan view.

3 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein

the circuit board further includes a third portion,

the third portion extends from the second portion in the first direction and is spaced apart from the display panel, and

the third portion is a space in which a line is disposed.

4 . The display device of claim 3 , wherein in a plan view,

the first portion of the circuit board has a first area, and

the third portion of the circuit board has a second area less than the first area.

5 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein a second hole is further defined in the circuit board at a position adjacent to the bonding region of the display panel.

6 . The display device of claim 5 , wherein

a width of the second hole is greater than a width of the bonding region, and

each of the width of the second hole and the width of the bonding region is a width in a second direction intersecting the first direction.

7 . The display device of claim 6 , wherein the first hole and the second hole are integral with each other.

8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the display panel further includes a bending region between the display region and the bonding region, and

the display panel is curved in the bending region.

9 . The display device of claim 8 , wherein the first portion of the circuit board is disposed overlapping the display panel between the bending region and the bonding region in a plan view.

10 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a battery, wherein

the circuit board overlaps an upper surface of the display panel on which the plurality of pixels are disposed in a plan view, and

the battery overlaps a lower surface of the display panel farthest from the upper surface of the display panel in a plan view.

11 . A display device comprising:

a display panel including:

a display region in which a plurality of pixels are disposed; and

a bonding region spaced apart from the display region in a first direction and in which a plurality of pad electrodes are disposed;

a driving chip disposed on the display panel between the display region and the bonding region; and

a circuit board including:

a first portion spaced apart from a first side of the driving chip that is disposed farthest from the display region in the first direction;

a second portion spaced apart from a second side of the driving chip intersecting the first side of the driving chip in a second direction intersecting the first direction; and

a third portion spaced apart from a third side of the driving chip facing the second side of the driving chip in a direction opposite to the second direction.

12 . The display device of claim 11 , wherein a vertical distance between an end of the display region and an end of the driving chip is less than a vertical distance between the end of the display region and an end of the first portion of the circuit board in the second direction.

13 . The display device of claim 11 , wherein a vertical distance between an end of the display region and an end of the driving chip is greater than a vertical distance between the end of the display region and an end of the third portion of the circuit board in the second direction.

14 . The display device of claim 11 , wherein

the display panel further includes a bending region between the display region and the bonding region, and

the display panel is curved in the bending region.

15 . The display device of claim 14 , wherein the circuit board is disposed overlapping the display panel between the bending region and the bonding region in a plan view.

16 . The display device of claim 11 , wherein

a width of the driving chip is less than a width of the first portion of the circuit board, and

each of the width of the driving chip and the width of the first portion of the circuit board is a width in the second direction.

17 . The display device of claim 11 , wherein

the circuit board further includes an alpha region extending in the first direction from a portion of the circuit board overlapping the bonding region in a plan view, and

the alpha region is a space in which a line is disposed.

18 . The display device of claim 11 , further comprising:

a battery, wherein

the driving chip and the circuit board overlap an upper surface of the display panel on which the plurality of pixels are disposed in a plan view, and

the battery overlaps a lower surface of the display panel farthest from the upper surface of the display panel, in a plan view.
