Abstract

A display device includes a substrate including a display area, a first component area including a first pixel group and a first transmission area, and a second component area including a second pixel group and a second transmission area, main sub-pixels disposed in the display area, and auxiliary sub-pixels disposed in the first pixel group, wherein a first distance between adjacent ones of the auxiliary sub-pixels is different from a second distance between adjacent ones of the main sub-pixels.

Claims (50)

1. A display device comprising:

a substrate including:

a display area;

a first component area including a first pixel group and a first transmission area; and

a second component area including a second pixel group and a second transmission area;

main sub-pixels disposed in the display area; and

auxiliary sub-pixels disposed in the first pixel group, wherein

a first distance between adjacent ones of the auxiliary sub-pixels is different from a second distance between adjacent ones of the main sub-pixels.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first distance is between centers of the adjacent ones, respectively, of the auxiliary sub-pixels, and

the second distance is between centers of the adjacent ones, respectively, of the main sub-pixels.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein an area of the second transmission area is greater than an area of the first transmission area.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first distance is less than the second distance.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the first transmission area to the first component area is less than a ratio of the second transmission area to the second component area.

6. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first component disposed in the first component area; and

a second component disposed in the second component area.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the first component and the second component are disposed below the substrate.

8. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the first component includes at least one of a proximity sensor and an ambient light sensor.

9. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the second component includes at least one of a camera, an infrared (IR) camera, a dot projector, an infrared (IR) illuminator, and a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor.

10. The display device of claim 1 , the substrate further including:

an opening area in which a through hole is disposed, the through hole passing through the substrate; and

further comprising a third component corresponding to the through hole, the third component being disposed below the substrate.

11. A display device comprising:

a substrate including:

a display area;

a first component area including a first transmission area; and

a second component area including a second transmission area;

a first component disposed in the first component area;

a second component disposed in the second component area; and

sub-pixels disposed over the substrate, wherein

an area of the second transmission area is greater than an area of the first transmission area.

12. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the first component and the second component are disposed below the substrate.

13. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the first component includes at least one of a proximity sensor and an ambient light sensor.

14. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the second component includes at least one of a camera, an infrared (IR) camera, a dot projector, an infrared (IR) illuminator, and a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor.

15. The display device of claim 11 , wherein

the sub-pixels include:

auxiliary sub-pixels disposed in the first component area; and

main sub-pixels disposed in the display area, and

a first distance between adjacent ones of the auxiliary sub-pixels is different from a second distance between adjacent ones of the main sub-pixels.

16. The display device of claim 15 , wherein

the first distance is between centers of the adjacent ones, respectively, of the auxiliary sub-pixels, and

the second distance is between centers of the adjacent ones, respectively, of the main sub-pixels.

17. The display device of claim 15 , wherein the first distance is less than the second distance.

18. The display device of claim 11 , the substrate further including an opening area in which a through hole is disposed, the through hole passing through the substrate.

19. The display device of claim 18 , further comprising a third component corresponding to the through hole, the third component being disposed below the substrate and being different from the first component.

20. The display device of claim 11 , further comprising:

a gate insulating layer and a planarization layer that are disposed between the substrate and the sub-pixels;

a first transmission hole disposed in the planarization layer, the first transmission hole corresponding to the first transmission area; and

a second transmission hole disposed in the gate insulating layer and the planarization layer, the second transmission hole corresponding to the second transmission area.
