Abstract

A display device includes a display panel having a display area and a non-display area. A window is disposed on the display panel. A bezel portion is disposed on the window. The bezel portion at least partially overlaps the non-display area. An adhesive layer is disposed between the display panel and the window. An interlayer is disposed between the bezel portion and the adhesive layer. The interlayer has at least one ultrasound transmitting area overlapping the bezel portion.

Claims (29)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel having a display area and a non-display area;

a window disposed on the display panel;

a bezel portion disposed on the window, the bezel portion at least partially overlapping the non-display area; and

an adhesive layer disposed between the display panel and the window,

wherein the display panel comprises:

a first substrate; and

a wiring unit comprising a plurality of wirings disposed on the first substrate,

wherein the wiring unit has a wide gap portion defined by two neighboring wirings,

wherein the two neighboring wirings comprises:

a first wiring extending in a first direction; and

a second wiring extending in the first direction and adjacent to the first wiring, wherein the first wiring comprises:

a first portion;

a second portion; and

a third portion connected to and between the first and second portion,

wherein the second wiring comprises:

a fourth portion overlapping with the first portion in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;

a fifth portion overlapping with the second portion in the second direction; and

a sixth portion connected to and between the fourth and fifth portion and overlapping with the third portion in the second direction,

wherein a distance in the second direction between the third and sixth portions defining the wide gap portion is greater than a distance in the second direction between the first and forth portions and a distance in the second direction between the second and fifth portions, and

wherein the wide gap portion at least partially overlaps the bezel portion.

2. The display device as claimed, in claim 1 , wherein the wide gap portion is an ultrasound inspection area.

3. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the distance in the second direction between the third and sixth portions is in a range of about 100 μm to about 300 μm.

4. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the wide gap portion does not overlap a conductor in a space between the first substrate and the adhesive layer.

5. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a touch panel disposed between the window and the adhesive layer.

6. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a metal layer disposed between the bezel portion and the adhesive layer, the metal layer comprising a metal.

7. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein wide gap portion further comprises one or more additional neighboring wirings that are curved away from the two neighboring wirings.

8. The display device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the one or more additional neighboring wirings includes three wirings on a first side of the two neighboring wirings and three wirings on a second side of the two neighboring wirings, each curved away from the two neighboring wirings.

9. The display device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein in the wide gap portion, the two neighboring wirings curve away from one another in a plan view to form a substantially circular space therebetween.
