Abstract

A display apparatus includes a display area on a substrate, and in which pixels are arranged; a transmission area in the display area around which the pixels are disposed; a divided data line and constant voltage lines passing through the pixels; and a bypass line connecting the data line and bypassing the transmission area, wherein the bypass line overlaps the constant voltage line.

Claims (53)

1. A display apparatus, comprising:

a substrate;

a display area on the substrate, and in which pixels are arranged;

a transmission area in the display area, and the pixels being around the transmission area;

a data line and constant voltage lines passing through a first pixel of the pixels, the data line supplying varying data signals and being divided into portions thereof, the constant voltage lines each supplying a respective constant voltage; and

a bypass line connecting the portions of the data line and bypassing the transmission area,

wherein the bypass line overlaps the constant voltage lines.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the bypass line bypasses the transmission area along a path having an alternating direction.

3. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein:

the alternating direction comprises a pair of turns.

4. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the constant voltage lines comprise a first constant voltage line and a second constant voltage line, wherein the first constant voltage line passes through the first pixel of the pixels in a first direction and the second constant voltage line passes through the first pixel of the pixels in a second direction that intersects with the first direction, and

the data line is in parallel with the second constant voltage line in the second direction.

5. The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein:

a plurality of the first constant voltage lines pass through each pixel of a first subset of the pixels in the first direction.

6. The display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein:

the plurality of the first constant voltage lines comprise initialization voltage lines that supply initialization voltages to the each pixel.

7. The display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein:

the plurality of the first constant voltage lines comprise an initialization voltage line and a driving voltage line, wherein the initialization voltage line supplies an initialization voltage to the each pixel and the driving voltage line supplies a driving voltage to the each pixel.

8. The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein:

the second constant voltage line comprises a driving voltage line that supplies a driving voltage to the each pixel.

9. The display apparatus of claim 4 , further comprising:

a plurality of signal lines passing through the first pixel of the pixels in the first direction.

10. The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein:

the plurality of signal lines comprises:

a scan line supplying a scan signal to the each pixel; and

an emission control line supplying an emission control signal to the each pixel.

11. The display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein:

the scan line and the emission control line are each divided into two portions, each of which is disposed at an opposite side of the transmission area.

12. The display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein:

the two divided portions of each of the scan line and the emission control line are connected to each other via another bypass line overlapping the constant voltage lines.

13. A method of manufacturing a display apparatus, comprising:

forming a display area on a substrate, wherein pixels are arranged in the display area;

forming a transmission area in the display area, in which the pixels are around the transmission area;

arranging a data line and constant voltage lines that pass through a first pixel of the pixels, the data line supplying varying data signals and being divided into portions thereof, the constant voltage lines each supplying a respective constant voltage; and

connecting the portions of the data line via a bypass line that bypasses the transmission area, wherein

the bypass line overlaps the constant voltage lines.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein:

the bypass line bypasses the transmission area along a path having an alternating direction.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein:

the alternating direction comprises a pair of turns.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein:

the constant voltage lines comprise a first constant voltage line and a second constant voltage line, wherein the first constant voltage line passes through the first pixel of the pixels in a first direction and the second constant voltage line passes through the first pixel of the pixels in a second direction that intersects with the first direction, and

the data line is in parallel with the second constant voltage line in the second direction.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein:

a plurality of the first constant voltage lines pass through each pixel of a first subset of the pixels in the first direction.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein:

the plurality of the first constant voltage lines comprise initialization voltage lines that supply initialization voltages to the each pixel.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein:

the plurality of first constant voltage lines comprise an initialization voltage line and a driving voltage line, wherein the initialization voltage line supplies an initialization voltage to the each pixel and the driving voltage line supplies a driving voltage to the each pixel.

20. The method of claim 16 , wherein:

the second constant voltage line comprises a driving voltage line that supplies a driving voltage to the each pixel.
