Abstract

A display device includes a display panel that displays an image, a drive circuit that outputs a drive signal to the display panel, a power supply line that is formed in the display panel to supply a power supply voltage to the drive circuit, and a ground line that is formed in the display panel to supply a ground potential to the drive circuit. At least parts of the power supply line and the ground line overlap each other in planar view with an insulator interposed therebetween.

Claims (28)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel that displays an image;

a drive circuit that outputs a drive signal to the display panel;

a power supply line that is formed in the display panel to supply a power supply voltage to the drive circuit; and

a ground line that is formed in the display panel to supply a ground potential to the drive circuit,

wherein at least parts of the power supply line and the ground line overlap each other in planar view with an insulator interposed therebetween.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the ground line includes first and second ground lines through which the ground potential is supplied to the drive circuit, and

the power supply line, the first ground line, and the second ground line are formed in different layers, respectively, and at least parts of the power supply line, the first ground line, and the second ground line overlap one another in planar view with an insulator interposed therebetween.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the first ground line, the power supply line, and the second ground line are laminated in this order with the insulator interposed therebetween.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , further comprising a plurality of signal lines through which a data signal and a control signal are supplied to the display panel to generate the drive signal,

wherein the ground line further includes third and fourth ground lines through which the ground potential is supplied to the drive circuit, and

the third ground line and the fourth ground line are formed at both ends in a layer, which is located between the first ground line and the second ground line and is identical to a layer in which the plurality of signal lines are formed, such that at least parts of the plurality of signal lines are sandwiched between the third ground line and the fourth ground line, and the third ground line and the fourth ground line are electrically connected to the first ground line and the second ground line.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the power supply line includes first and second supply lines through which the power supply voltage is supplied to the drive circuit, and

the ground line, the first power supply line, and the second power supply line are formed in different layers, respectively, and at least parts of the ground line, the first power supply line, and the second power supply line overlap one another in planar view with an insulator interposed therebetween.

6. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein the first power supply line, the ground line, and the second power supply line are laminated in this order with the insulator interposed therebetween.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a signal line through which a data signal and a control signal are supplied to the display panel to generate the drive signal,

wherein a part of the ground line overlaps the signal line in planar view with an insulator interposed therebetween.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of the drive circuits are mounted on the display panel,

the display device further comprising a control circuit substrate connected to the display panel and on which a control circuit is mounted, the control circuit outputting a data signal and a control signal, the power supply voltage, and the ground potential, the data signal and a control signal being used to generate the drive signal,

each of the plurality of the drive circuits includes a first drive circuit closer to an input terminal to which each of the signals output from the control circuit substrate is input in the display panel and a second drive circuit farther from the input terminal than the first drive circuit, and

an area of an overlapping portion in which the power supply line and the ground line connected to the second drive circuit overlap each other is larger than an area of an overlapping portion in which the power supply line and the ground line connected to the first drive circuit overlap each other.

9. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the display panel includes a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of data lines, a common electrode, a common wiring through which a common voltage is supplied to the common electrode, and a plurality of pixel electrodes, and

one of the power supply line and the ground line is formed in a layer identical to a layer in which the plurality of gate lines are formed, and another of the power supply line and the ground line is formed in a layer identical to a layer in which the plurality of data lines are formed, or

one of the power supply line and the ground line is formed in a layer identical to a layer in which the plurality of data lines are formed, and another of the power supply line and the ground line is formed in a layer identical to a layer in which the common electrode is formed.
