Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a display device and a display panel. A display panel includes a plurality of subpixels, a plurality of data lines comprising a first data line group disposed in a first area corresponding to a data driving circuit and a second data line group disposed in a second area located on outside of the first area, a plurality of gate lines, a first data link line group having a linear structure connected to the first data line group and disposed in a bezel area, and a second data link line group having a bending structure in which (2-3)th data link lines having the same length are connected to the second data line group through a display area.

Claims (53)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel including a plurality of subpixels, a plurality of data lines, and a plurality of gate lines;

a data driving circuit configured to supply a plurality of data voltages to the plurality of data lines;

a gate driving circuit configured to supply a plurality of gate signals to the plurality of gate lines;

a timing controller configured to control the data driving circuit and the gate driving circuit;

wherein the display panel includes:

a first data link line group with a linear structure connected to a first data line group disposed in a first area corresponding to the data driving circuit among the plurality of data lines; and

a second data link line group with a bending structure connected to a second data line group disposed in a second area located on outside of the first area among the plurality of data lines through second data link lines,

wherein the second data link lines include:

second-first data link lines extending from the data driving circuit to the first area;

second-second data link lines disposed in the first area and connected to the second-first data link lines; and

second-third data link lines connecting the second-second data link lines and the second data line group,

wherein all of the second-second data link lines have at least a length corresponding to a length of each of first data lines included in the first data line group disposed in the first area.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first data link line group is connected between the data driving circuit and the first data line group in straight lines.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second-first data link lines are disposed in a bezel area of the display panel.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the second-second data link lines are disposed in parallel to the first data line group in the first area.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second-third data link lines are arranged toward an outer direction of the display panel as a distance from the data driving circuit increases.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second-third data link lines are arranged toward a central direction of the display panel as a distance from the data driving circuit increases.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second-third data link lines include a part of the second-third data link lines disposed in the second area on a left side of the display panel and a part of the second-third data link lines disposed in the second area on a right side of the display panel formed to be symmetrical based on a center of the display panel.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second-third data link lines are formed on a layer different from the second data line group.

9. The display device according to claim 1 , further includes dummy data link lines disposed between each of the second data line group in the second area.

10. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the second-second data link lines are disposed to alternate with the first data line group in the first area.

11. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising: dummy data link lines disposed between respective adjacent second data lines among second data lines included in the second data line group in the second area,

wherein at least one of the dummy data link lines has at least a length corresponding to a length of each of the second data lines located in the second area.

12. A display panel comprising:

a plurality of subpixels;

a plurality of data lines comprising a first data line group disposed in a first area corresponding to a data driving circuit and a second data line group disposed in a second area located on outside of the first area, and receiving a plurality of data voltages from the data driving circuit;

a plurality of gate lines;

a first data link line group having a linear structure connected to the first data line group and disposed in a bezel area; and

a second data link line group having a bending structure in which second data link lines are connected to the second data line group through a display area,

wherein the second data link lines include:

second-first data link lines extending from the data driving circuit to the first area;

second-second data link lines disposed in the first area and connected to the second-first data link lines; and

second-third data link lines connecting the second-second data link lines and the second data line group,

wherein all of the second-second data link lines have at least a length corresponding to a length of each of first data lines included in the first data line group disposed in the first area.

13. The display panel according to claim 12 , wherein the first data link line group is connected between the data driving circuit and the first data line group in straight lines.

14. The display panel according to claim 12 , wherein the second-first data link lines are disposed in the bezel area.

15. The display panel according to claim 14 , wherein the second-second data link lines are disposed in parallel to the first data line group in the first area.

16. The display panel according to claim 12 , wherein the second-third data link lines are arranged toward an outer direction of the display panel as a distance from the data driving circuit increases.

17. The display panel according to claim 12 , wherein the second-third data link lines are arranged toward a central direction of the display panel as a distance from the data driving circuit increases.

18. The display panel according to claim 12 , wherein the second-third data link lines include a part of the second-third data link lines disposed in the second area on a left side of the display panel and a part of the second-third data link lines disposed in the second area on a right side of the display panel formed to be symmetrical based on a center of the display panel.

19. The display panel according to claim 12 , wherein the second-third data link lines are formed on a layer different from the second data line group.

20. The display panel according to claim 12 , further includes dummy data link lines disposed between each of the second data line group in the second area.

21. The display panel according to claim 12 , wherein the second-second data link lines are disposed to alternate with the first data line group in the first area.

22. A display device comprising:
