Abstract

A display device comprises a first display area comprising stages, and gate input lines electrically connected to the stages and extending in a first direction, a second display area adjacent to the first display area in a second direction intersecting the first direction and comprising data lines, a third display area adjacent to the second display area in the second direction and comprising data lines, connection lines electrically connected to the data lines of the third display area via the second display area, and bypass lines electrically connected to the stages via the third display area and the second display area.

Claims (66)

1. A display device comprising:

a first display area comprising:

stages; and

gate input lines electrically connected to the stages and extending in a first direction;

a second display area adjacent to the first display area in a second direction intersecting the first direction and comprising data lines;

a third display area adjacent to the second display area in the second direction and comprising data lines;

connection lines electrically connected to the data lines of the third display area via the second display area; and

bypass lines electrically connected to the stages via the third display area and the second display area.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the gate input lines and the bypass lines supplies a gate input signal or a clock signal to the stages.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the bypass lines comprise:

a first bypass line extending in the first direction in the third display area; and

a second bypass line electrically connected to the first bypass line and extending from the third display area to the stages.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein

the second bypass line intersects the data lines of the second display area, and

the second bypass line is insulated from the data lines of the second display area.

5. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the connection lines comprise:

a first connection line extending in the first direction in the second display area; and

a second connection line electrically connected to the first connection line and extending from the second display area to the data lines of the third display area.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein

the second connection line intersects the data lines of the second display area, and

the second connection line is insulated from the data lines of the second display area.

7. The display device of claim 5 , wherein

the second connection line intersects the first bypass line in the third display area, and

the second connection line is insulated from the first bypass line.

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

a flexible film adjacent to the first display area, the second display area, and the third display area in the first direction; and

a display driver mounted on the flexible film.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein

the gate input lines extend from the flexible film to the first display area, and

the gate input lines overlap the display driver on the flexible film in a plan view.

10. The display device of claim 8 , wherein

the first bypass line extends from the flexible film to the third display area, and

the first bypass line is spaced apart from the display driver on the flexible film.

11. The display device of claim 8 , wherein

the flexible film further comprises a data output line electrically connected between the data lines of the second display area and the display driver, and

the gate input lines, the first bypass line, and the data output line are formed of a same metal layer on the flexible film.

12. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the data output line is disposed between the gate input lines and the first bypass line.

13. The display device of claim 3 , wherein

each of the first display area, the second display area, and the third display area further comprises pixels emitting light,

the first bypass line is disposed between the pixels adjacent in the second direction, and

the second bypass line is disposed between the pixels adjacent in the first direction.

14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein each of the stages comprises circuit parts electrically connected to the gate input lines and disposed between the pixels.

15. A display device comprising:

a first display area comprising:

stages; and

gate input lines electrically connected to the stages and extending in a first direction;

a second display area adjacent to the first display area in a second direction intersecting the first direction;

a third display area adjacent to the second display area in the second direction;

a flexible film adjacent to the first display area, the second display area, and the third display area in the first direction; and

bypass lines electrically connected to the stages via the flexible film, the third display area, and the second display area.

16. The display device of claim 15 , wherein

each of the first display area, the second display area, and the third display area further comprises data lines extending in the first direction, and

the display device further comprises connection lines electrically connected to the data lines of the third display area via the second display area.

17. The display device of claim 16 , wherein the bypass lines comprise:

a first bypass line extending in the first direction from the flexible film to the third display area; and

a second bypass line electrically connected to the first bypass line and extending from the third display area to the stages.

18. The display device of claim 17 , wherein the connection lines comprise:

a first connection line extending in the first direction in the second display area; and

a second connection line electrically connected to the first connection line and extending from the second display area to the data lines of the third display area.

19. The display device of claim 15 , further comprising:

a display driver mounted on the flexible film, wherein

the gate input lines extend from the flexible film to the first display area, and

the gate input lines overlap the display driver on the flexible film in a plan view.

20. The display device of claim 19 , wherein

the flexible film further comprises a data output line electrically connected between data lines of the second display area and the display driver, and

the gate input lines, the bypass lines, and the data output line are formed of a same metal layer on the flexible film.
