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 (47)

1. A display device comprising:

a substrate;

video signal lines arrayed in a first direction, in a display area;

scanning lines arrayed in a second direction intersecting with the first direction, in the display area;

a driver unit provided outside of the display area and connected to the scanning lines; and

an integrated circuit mounted on the substrate,

wherein

an outer shape of the substrate has a first arc-edge and a second arc-edge,

the second arc-edge opposes to the first arc-edge in the second direction,

a first part of the driver unit is formed along the first arc-edge,

a second part of the driver unit is formed along the second arc-edge,

a first distance is a distance between the first arc-edge and the first part of the driver unit, in a normal direction of the first arc-edge,

a second distance is a distance between the second arc-edge and the second part of the driver unit, in a normal direction of the second arc-edge,

the first distance is less than the second distance, and

the integrated circuit is located closer to the first arc-edge than the second arc-edge.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

a third distance is a distance between the first part of the driver unit and the display area, in the normal direction of the first arc-edge,

a fourth distance is a distance between the second part of the driver unit and the display area, in the normal direction of the second arc-edge, and

the third distance is larger than the fourth distance.

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

a first circuit connected to one of the video signal lines, wherein

the first circuit is located between the first part of the driver unit and the display area, in the normal direction of the first arc-edge.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the driver unit includes a plurality of circuits,

each of the circuits is connected to one of the scanning lines,

in the first part of the driver unit, respective of the circuits are arranged along the first arc-edge,

in the second part of the driver unit, respective of the circuits are arranged along the second arc-edge,

in a third part of the driver unit, respective of the circuits are arranged along a straight, and

the third part of the driver unit is provided between the first part and the second part.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the driver unit includes a third part,

the third part is provided between the first part and the second part, and

the third part is formed along a straight.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the scanning lines includes a first scanning line and a second scanning line,

each of the first scanning line and the second scanning line is connected to the first part of the driver unit,

the display area includes a plurality of pixels and dummy pixels,

the first scanning line overlaps the pixels and dummy pixels, and

the second scanning line overlaps the pixels and does not overlap the dummy pixels.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the scanning lines includes a first scanning line and a second scanning line,

each of the first scanning line and the second scanning line is connected to the first part of the driver unit,

the display area includes a plurality of pixels and dummy pixels,

the first scanning line overlaps the pixels and dummy pixels,

the second scanning line overlaps the pixels and the dummy pixels, and

a number of the dummy pixels, which overlaps the first scanning line, is differ form a number of the dummy pixels, which overlaps the second scanning line.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the outer shape of the substrate is a circular shape.
