Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a pair of substrates including a display area in which pixels are arranged, pixel electrodes and memories provided in the pixels, signal lines supplied with digital signals, switching elements connecting the memories and the signal lines, scanning lines supplied with scanning signals, a first driver unit, and a second driver unit. The first driver unit is provided in a peripheral area around the display area, and supplies the digital signal to the signal line. The second driver unit is provided in the peripheral area, and supplies the scanning signal to the scanning line. In the display device, at least a part of the first driver unit is provided between the display area and the second driver unit.

Claims (43)

1. A display device comprising:

a first substrate;

pixels in a display area;

signal lines arrayed in a first direction;

scanning lines arrayed in a second direction;

a first driver connected to the signal lines; and

a second driver connected to the scanning lines,

wherein

the first substrate has a shape including a curved portion at least in a part of an outline,

the first driver includes a first circuit unit,

the second driver includes a second circuit unit,

the signal lines include a first signal line,

the first circuit unit is connected to the first signal line,

the first circuit unit is divided into a first circuit element and a second circuit element,

the first circuit element is connected to the first signal line,

the second circuit element is connected to the first signal line through the first circuit element and is not directly connected to other signal lines,

the second circuit unit is divided into a third circuit element and a fourth circuit element,

the first circuit element is shifted obliquely from the second circuit element with respect to the first direction and the second direction,

the first circuit element is connected to the second circuit element by a first conductive line,

the third circuit element is shifted obliquely from the fourth circuit element with respect to the first direction and the second direction,

the third circuit element is connected to the fourth circuit element by a second conductive line, and

the first circuit element, the second circuit element, the third circuit element, and the fourth circuit element are located between the outline of the first substrate and the display area at the curved portion.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second conductive line extends obliquely with respect to the first direction and the second direction.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first conductive line extends obliquely with respect to the first direction and the second direction, and

the second conductive line extends obliquely with respect to the first direction and the second direction.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein

the third circuit element is a shift register circuit, and

the fourth circuit element is a buffer circuit.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the scanning lines include a first scanning line,
