1. A display device, comprising:

a low-resolution area comprising a first plurality of data lines and a first plurality of gate lines to form a first plurality of pixels; and

a high-resolution area comprising a second plurality of data lines and a second plurality of gate lines to form a second plurality of pixels, non-overlapping with the first plurality of pixels,

wherein the low-resolution area and the high-resolution area are configured such that the gate lines of the low-resolution area run perpendicularly to the gate lines of the high-resolution area and the data lines of the high-resolution area run perpendicularly to the data lines of the low-resolution area,

wherein each of the pixels of the first plurality of pixels of the low-resolution area is larger than each of the pixels of the second plurality of pixels in the high-resolution area,

wherein each of the second plurality of data lines of the high-resolution area terminates at a first gate line of the first plurality of gate lines of the low-resolution area,

wherein the gate lines of the low-resolution area are driven by a low-resolution gate driver, the gate lines of the high-resolution area are driven by a high-resolution gate driver that is separate from the low-resolution gate driver, and the data lines of the low-resolution area and the data lines of the high-resolution area are driven by a single driving chip, and

wherein the single driving chip is connected to the data lines of the high-resolution area via a second access part that is provided at a lowermost portion of the high-resolution area and is aligned parallel to the single driving chip while the single driving chip is connected to the data lines of the low-resolution area via a first access part that is aligned perpendicular to the single driving chip and is provided to a lateral side of the low-resolution area.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the pixels of the first plurality of pixels of the low-resolution area is about three times as large as each of the pixels of the second plurality of pixels in the high-resolution area.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein a matrix of pixels formed in the low-resolution area corresponds to a matrix of pixel groups formed in the high-resolution area, each pixel group consisting of red, green and blue pixels and being represented as a dot in the high-resolution area.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein only data lines for supplying image signals to green pixels of the high-resolution area extend up to the low-resolution area.
