Abstract

A display panel includes: a substrate including a main display area, a first component area, a second component area, and a peripheral area; a first subpixel on the main display area, and a first pixel circuit connected to the first subpixel; a second subpixel on the first component area; a second pixel circuit spaced apart from the second subpixel; and a connection wiring connecting the second subpixel to the second pixel circuit.

Claims (43)

1. A display panel comprising:

a substrate comprising a main display area, a first component area, a second component area, and a peripheral area;

a first subpixel on the main display area, and a first pixel circuit connected to the first subpixel;

a second subpixel on the first component area;

a second pixel circuit spaced apart from the second subpixel;

a connection wiring connecting the second subpixel to the second pixel circuit;

a main scan line extending in a first direction; and

a scan connection line connected to the main scan line,

wherein the scan connection line is in the peripheral area.

2. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the second pixel circuit is in the peripheral area.

3. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the connection wiring comprises a transparent conductive material.

4. The display panel of claim 3 , further comprising an additional connection wiring connecting the connection wiring to the second pixel circuit, wherein the additional connection wiring comprises a material different from a material of the connection wiring.

5. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the first subpixel and the second subpixel are configured to emit a same color of light, and

a size of the second subpixel is greater than a size of the first subpixel.

6. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the second pixel circuit is between the first component area and the second component area.

7. The display panel of claim 1 , further comprising a third subpixel between the first component area and the second component area.

8. The display panel of claim 7 , wherein

the third subpixel is connected to a third pixel circuit in the peripheral area.

9. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the scan connection line surrounds one side of the first component area.

10. A display panel comprising:

a substrate comprising a main display area, a first component area, a second component area, and a peripheral area;

a first subpixel on the main display area and a first pixel circuit connected to the first subpixel;

a second subpixel on the first component area;

a second pixel circuit spaced apart from the second subpixel; and

a connection wiring connecting the second subpixel to the second pixel circuit,

wherein no subpixels are located in the second component area,

wherein the second pixel circuit is between the first component area and the second component area.

11. The display panel of claim 10 , wherein each of the first component area and the second component area includes a transmission area,

wherein a size of the transmission area of the second component area is greater than a size of the transmission area of the first component area.

12. The display panel of claim 11 , wherein a light transmittance of the second component area is greater than a light transmittance of the first component area.

13. A display panel comprising:

a substrate comprising a main display area, a first component area, a second component area, and a peripheral area;

a first subpixel on the main display area and a first pixel circuit connected to the first subpixel;

a second subpixel on the first component area;

a second pixel circuit spaced apart from the second subpixel;

a first connection wiring connecting the second subpixel to the second pixel circuit;

a third subpixel on the second component area;

a third pixel circuit spaced apart from the third subpixel; and

a second connection wiring connecting the third subpixel to the third pixel circuit,

wherein the second pixel circuit or the third pixel circuit is between the first component area and the second component area.

14. The display panel of claim 13 , wherein the second pixel circuit and the third pixel circuit are in the peripheral area.

15. The display panel of claim 13 , wherein the first connection wiring and the second connecting wiring comprise a transparent conductive material.

16. The display panel of claim 13 , further comprising a fourth subpixel between the first component area and the second component area.
