Abstract

Provided is a display device having a structure in which a hole area in which camera sensors or the like are disposed is included in an active area of a display panel. Data lines among a plurality of data lines bypassing the hole area are disposed on different layers to prevent an increase in the load of data lines, through which green subpixels are driven. Degradations in the luminance of subpixels disposed around the hole area and driven through the data lines bypassing the hole area are prevented. The uniformity of luminance around the hole area is improved.

Claims (19)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel in which a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of data lines, and a plurality of subpixels are disposed, the plurality of gate lines being disposed on a layer different from a layer on which the plurality of data lines are disposed;

at least one hole area located in an active area of the display panel; and

a boundary area disposed to be in contact with an outer circumference of the at least one hole area,

wherein the plurality of data lines include:

a plurality of first data lines, through which a data voltage is supplied to first color subpixels and third color subpixels among the plurality of subpixels, a part of each of the plurality of first data lines being disposed in the boundary area; and

a plurality of second data lines, through which the data voltage is supplied to second color subpixels among the plurality of subpixels, a part of each of the plurality of second data lines being disposed in the boundary area, the plurality of second data lines being disposed on a layer different from a layer on which the plurality of first data lines are disposed,

wherein the first color subpixels and the third color subpixels are disposed to alternate with each other to be driven by the first data line, and the second color subpixels are disposed on a same column to be driven by the second data line, and

wherein a second peak wavelength of light emitted by the second color subpixels is smaller than a first peak wavelength of light emitted by the first color subpixels and greater than a third peak wavelength of light emitted by the third color subpixels, and a second vertical distance between the plurality of second data lines that control the second color pixels having the second peak wavelength of light and the plurality of gate lines is greater than a first vertical distance between the plurality of first data lines that control the first and third color pixels having the first and third peak wavelengths of light and the plurality of gate lines.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first data lines alternate with the plurality of second data lines.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first data lines and the plurality of second data lines are formed of a same material.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the part of each of the plurality of first data lines and the part of each of the plurality of second data lines disposed in the boundary area is curved.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the part of each of the plurality of first data lines and the part of each of the plurality of second data lines disposed in the boundary area are bent.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the boundary area is spaced apart from a boundary of the active area.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of first data lines and the plurality of second data lines supplies the data voltage to at least one subpixel among the plurality of subpixels, disposed on an area being at one side of the at least one hole area, and at least one subpixel among the plurality of subpixels, disposed on an area being at the other side of the at least one hole area.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of subpixels are disposed in the active area except for the at least one hole area and the boundary area.

9. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one hole area includes a first hole area and a second hole area disposed adjacent to the first hole area, and

at least two data lines among the plurality of data lines, disposed in the boundary area located between the first hole area and the second hole area, are curved in opposite directions.

10. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the at least two data lines disposed adjacent to each other and curved in the opposite directions are disposed on different layers.
