Abstract

A display apparatus includes a plurality of pixels arranged in columns and rows in a display area, a data line extending in a first direction and connected with pixels of a k-th column (‘k’ is a natural number) and a (k+1)-th column, a gate line extending in a second direction crossing the first direction and connected with ones of the pixels, a gate signal line extending in the first direction and connected with the gate line, and a gate driver in a first peripheral area adjacent to a first longer side of the display area and having a first width, and configured to apply a gate signal to the gate line.

Claims (49)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a plurality of pixels arranged in columns and rows in a display area;

a data line extending in a first direction and connected with pixels in a k-th column (‘k’ is a natural number) and a (k+1)-th column;

a gate line extending in a second direction crossing the first direction and connected with ones of the pixels;

a gate signal line extending in the first direction and connected with the gate line;

a gate driver configured to apply a gate signal to the gate line; and

a first peripheral area adjacent to a first longer side of the display area and having a first width, a second peripheral area adjacent to a second longer side opposite the first longer side of the display area and having a second width, a third peripheral area adjacent to a first shorter side extending between the first longer side and the second longer side of the display area, and a fourth peripheral area adjacent to a second shorter side and extending between the first longer side and the second longer side of the display area,

wherein the gate driver is in the first peripheral area.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first width is greater than the second width.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the gate signal line is at the same layer as the data line.

4. The display apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising:

a common line extending in the first direction and arranged between the pixels.

5. The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the data line, the gate signal line, and the common line are sequentially arranged between adjacent pixel columns.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a data driver in the first peripheral area and configured to apply a data signal to the data line.

7. A display apparatus comprising:

a plurality of pixels arranged in columns and rows in a display area;

a data line extending in a first direction and connected with pixels of a k-th column (‘k’ is a natural number) and a (k+1)-th column in an odd-numbered row, and connected with pixels of a (k−1)-th column and a (k+2)-th column in an even-numbered row;

a gate line extending in a second direction crossing the first direction and connected with ones of the pixels;

a gate signal line extending in the first direction and connected with the gate line; and

a gate driver in a first peripheral area adjacent to a first longer side of the display area and having a first width, and configured to apply a gate signal to the gate line.

8. The display apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising:

a second peripheral area adjacent to a second longer side opposite the first longer side of the display area and having a second width;

a third peripheral area adjacent to a first shorter side extending between the first longer side and the second longer side of the display area; and

a fourth peripheral area adjacent to a second shorter side extending between the first longer side and the second longer side of the display area.

9. The display apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the first width is greater than the second width.

10. The display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the gate signal line is at the same layer as the data line.

11. The display apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising:

a common line extending in the first direction and between the pixels.

12. The display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the data line, the gate signal line, and the common line are sequentially arranged between adjacent pixel rows.

13. The display apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising:

a data driver in the first peripheral area and configured to apply a data signal to the data line.

14. A display apparatus comprising:

a plurality of pixels arranged in columns and rows in a display area;

an m-th data line (‘cm’ is a natural number) extending in a first direction, connected with pixels of a (k−1)-th column (‘k’ is a natural number) and a (k+1)-th column in an odd-numbered row, and connected with pixels of a k-th column and a (k+2)-th column in an even-numbered row;

an (m+1)-th data line connected with pixels of a (k+2)-th column and a (k+4)-th column in an odd-numbered row, and connected with pixels of a (k+1)-th column and a (k+3)-th column in an even-numbered row;

a gate line extending in a second direction crossing the first direction and connected with ones of the pixels;

a gate signal line extending in the first direction and connected with the gate line; and

a gate driver in a first peripheral area adjacent to a first longer side of the display area and having a first width, and configured to apply a gate signal to the gate line.

15. The display apparatus of claim 14 , further comprising:

a second peripheral area adjacent to a second longer side opposite the first longer side of the display area and having a second width;

a third peripheral area adjacent to a first shorter side extending between the first longer side and the second longer side of the display area; and

a fourth peripheral area adjacent to a second shorter side extending between the first longer side and the second longer side of the display area.

16. The display apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the first width is greater than the second width.

17. The display apparatus of claim 14 , further comprising:

a common line extending in the first direction and between the pixels.

18. The display apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the m-th data line, the gate signal line, and the common line are sequentially arranged between adjacent pixel rows.

19. The display apparatus of claim 14 , further comprising:

a data driver in the first peripheral area and configured to apply a data signal to the data line.
