Abstract

A display device includes: a scan line extending in a first direction; first, second and third signal lines extending in a second direction; a first sub-pixel connected to the scan line and the first signal line; a second sub-pixel connected to the scan line and the second signal line; and a third sub-pixel connected to the scan line and the third signal line. The second signal line disposed between the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel is formed by a different layer so as to overlap with the third signal line as viewed in a plan view.

Claims (46)

1. A display device comprising:

a scan line extending in a first direction;

first, second and third signal lines extending in a second direction;

a first sub-pixel connected to the scan line and the first signal line;

a second sub-pixel connected to the scan line and the second signal line; and

a third sub-pixel connected to the scan line and the third signal line, wherein

the second signal line disposed between the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel is formed by a different layer so as to overlap with the third signal line as viewed in a plan view, and

the second signal line disposed between the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel is formed by a layer identical to that of the scan line.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first and second sub-pixels are disposed so as to be adjacent to each other in the second direction, and

the first sub-pixel is disposed so as to be adjacent to the third sub-pixel in the first direction.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

in vicinity of an intersection of the second signal line with the scan line, the second signal line is formed by a layer identical to that of the third signal line.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the second signal line disposed between the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel is formed on a lower layer of the third signal line.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the second and third signal lines disposed between the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel each extend with an inclination of a specified angle relative to a direction orthogonal to the first direction.

6. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein

in vicinity of an intersection of the second and third signal lines with the scan line, the second and third signal lines each extend in a direction orthogonal to the first direction.

7. A display device comprising:

a scan line extending in a first direction;

first, second and third signal lines;

a first sub-pixel connected to the scan line and the first signal line;

a second sub-pixel connected to the scan line and the second signal line; and

a third sub-pixel connected to the scan line and the third signal line, wherein

the second signal line has a portion extending in a second direction, a portion extending in the first direction, and a portion extending in a third direction,

the first and third signal lines each have a portion extending in the second direction and a portion extending in the third direction, and

the portion of the second signal line extending in the third direction is formed by a different layer so as to overlap with the portion of the third signal line extending in the third direction as viewed in a plan view.

8. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein

in vicinity of an intersection of the second signal line with the scan line, the second signal line extends in the second direction.

9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein

the third direction is identical to the second direction.

10. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein

the third direction is inclined by a specified angle relative to the second direction.

11. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein

the portion of the second signal line extending in the first direction is formed by a layer identical to that of the portion of the second signal line extending in the third direction.

12. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein

the portion of the second signal line extending in the third direction is formed by a lower layer than the portion of the third signal line extending in the third direction.

13. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein

the portion of the second signal line extending in the third direction is formed by a layer identical to that of the scan line.

14. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein

the portion of the second signal line extending in the third direction is formed by a semiconductor layer.

15. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein

the portion of the second signal line extending in the third direction is formed by an upper layer than the portion of the third signal line extending in the third direction.

16. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein

the portion of the second signal line extending in the third direction is formed by a third interconnect layer different from those of the scan line and the third signal line.
