Abstract

A display apparatus includes a substrate including a display area, a peripheral area surrounding the display area, a function-adding area, of which at least a portion is surrounded by the display area, and a detour area disposed between the display area and the function-adding area. The display apparatus includes a plurality of pixel circuits disposed in the display area. A plurality of driving lines are electrically connected to the pixel circuits and extend in a direction in the display area. A first detour line is disposed in the detour area and is electrically connected to a first driving line. A second detour line is disposed in the detour area. The second detour line is electrically connected to a second driving line and is disposed in a different layer from the first detour line.

Claims (34)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a substrate including a display area, a peripheral area surrounding the display area, a function-adding area, of which at least a portion is surrounded by the display area, and a detour area disposed between the display area and the function-adding area;

a plurality of pixel circuits disposed in the display area;

a plurality of power lines electrically connected to the pixel circuits and extending in a first direction in the display area;

a plurality of light-emitting elements electrically connected to the pixel circuits;

a power bus line electrically connected to the power lines and extending in a second direction crossing the first direction in the peripheral area and including a first portion and a second portion, which are spaced apart from each other in the second direction; and

a connection bus line electrically connecting the first and second portions of the power bus line to each other and disposed in a same layer as an electrode of the light-emitting elements.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the electrode of the light-emitting diodes elements is an anode.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the connection bus line includes a transparent conductive material.

4. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the connection bus line includes at least one of indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, indium oxide or zinc oxide.

5. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the connection bus line contacts at least a portion of the power lines.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising driving lines electrically connected to the pixel circuits and extending in the first direction in the display area.

7. The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the power lines are disposed in a same layer as the driving lines.

8. The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the connection bus line overlaps at least a portion of the driving lines in a plan view.

9. The display apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising detour lines electrically connected to the driving lines and having a shape curving along an edge of the function-adding area in a plan view.

10. The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the connection bus line overlaps at least a portion of the detour lines in the detour area.

11. The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the connection bus line overlaps at least a portion of the detour lines in the peripheral area.

12. The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the detour lines comprises:

a first detour line disposed in the detour area and electrically connected to a first driving line and disposed in a different layer from the first driving line; and

a second detour line disposed in the detour area and electrically connected to a second driving line and disposed in a different layer from the first detour line and the second driving line.

13. The display apparatus of claim 12 , further comprising a plurality of scan lines electrically connected to the pixel circuits and extending in the second direction in the display area, wherein the first detour line is disposed in a same layer as the scan lines.

14. The display apparatus of claim 13 , further comprising a third detour line electrically connected to at least a portion of the scan lines and disposed in the detour area.

15. The display apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the third detour line is disposed in a same layer as the driving lines.

16. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the connection bus line has a shape curving along an edge of the function-adding area in a plan view.

17. A display apparatus comprising:

a substrate including a display area, a peripheral area surrounding the display area, a function-adding area, of which at least a portion is surrounded by the display area, and a detour area disposed between the display area and the function-adding area;

a plurality of pixel circuits disposed in the display area;

a plurality of power lines electrically connected to the pixel circuits and extending in a first direction in the display area;

a plurality of light-emitting elements electrically connected to the pixel circuits;

a power bus line electrically connected to the power lines and extending in a second direction crossing the first direction in the peripheral area and including a first portion and a second portion, which are spaced apart from each other in the second direction; and

a connection bus line electrically connecting the first and second portions of the power bus line to each other and including a transparent conductive material.

18. The display apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the connection bus line includes at least one of indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, indium oxide or zinc oxide.

19. The display apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the connection bus line contacts at least a portion of the power lines.

20. The display apparatus of claim 17 , further comprising driving lines electrically connected to the pixel circuits and extending in the first direction in the display area, wherein the connection bus line overlaps at least a portion of the driving lines in a plan view.
