Abstract

A display apparatus is disclosed. The display includes a display panel, a signal transmitter, and a driving chip. The signal transmitter is electrically connected with the display panel at a first bonding region of the display panel and receives an input signal from the outside. Further, the driving chip is electrically connected with the display panel at a second bonding region of the display panel and outputs a driving signal in response to the input signal. Further, the signal transmitter includes a base layer, a first conductive layer that is electrically connected with the display panel, and a second conductive layer that covers the first bonding region and the second bonding region. The second conductive layer can block electro static discharge and electro magnetic interference, such that it is possible to prevent display quality of the display apparatus from being deteriorated.

Claims (29)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a display panel configured to display an image;

a signal transmitter electrically connected with the display panel at a first bonding region of the display panel and receives an input signal from a source external to the display apparatus; and

a driving chip that is electrically connected with the display panel at a second bonding region of the display panel and outputs a driving signal corresponding to the image to the display panel in response to the input signal,

wherein the signal transmitter includes:

a base layer;

a first conductive layer on the base layer, wherein the first conductive layer is electrically connected to the display panel, and

a second conductive layer that covers the first bonding region and the second bonding region, wherein the base layer is between the first and second conductive layers.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second conductive layer overlaps the first conductive layer and the driving chip, and extends to the second bonding region across the first bonding region.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a sub-conductive layer on the second conductive layer, wherein the sub-conductive layer overlaps the driving chip and the first conductive layer, and extends to the second bonding region across the first bonding region, and wherein the second conductive layer is between the base layer and the sub-conductive layer.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the signal transmitter further includes:

a third conductive layer insulated from the first conductive layer, wherein the first conductive layer is between the base layer and the third conductive layer;

a fourth conductive layer insulated from the second conductive layer, wherein the second conductive layer is between the base layer and the fourth conductive layer; and

a fifth conductive layer insulated from the fourth conductive layer, wherein the fourth conductive layer is between the base layer and the fifth conductive layer.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a first insulating layer that covers the first conductive layer, wherein the first conductive is between the base layer and the first insulating layer; and

a second insulating layer that covers the second conductive layer, wherein the second conductive layer is between the base layer and the second insulating layer,

wherein the base layer and the second insulating layer extend to the second bonding region across the first bonding region.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second conductive layer is divided into at least two parts, which are insulated and spaced apart from one other, and one of the two part covers the first bonding region and the second bonding region.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display panel includes:

a first substrate having the first bonding region and the second bonding region; and

a second substrate connected to the first substrate, wherein

the first substrate includes:

an input wire electrically connected with the first conductive layer in the first bonding region; and

a signal wire electrically connected with the driving chip in the second bonding region.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein an area where the second conductive layer overlaps the first substrate is larger than an area where the first conductive layer overlaps the first substrate.

9. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display panel is a liquid crystal display panel.

10. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display panel is an organic light emitting display panel.
