3. The display device of claim 2 , further comprising:
a shielding layer disposed between the bypass portion and the body in a bent state of the bypass portion.
4. The display device of claim 2 , further comprising:
a display driver disposed on the display panel; and
a cover covering at least a portion of the display driver and the flexible printed circuit board,
wherein the bypass portion is disposed between the body and the cover in a bent state of the bypass portion.
5. The display device of claim 2 , further comprising:
a double-sided tape that attaches the flexible printed circuit board to a rear surface of the display panel; and
the bypass portion is disposed between the body and the double-sided tape in a bent state of the bypass portion.
6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the bypass portion includes:
a first leg portion and a second leg portion extending from the body; and
a connection portion connected between the first leg portion and the second leg portion.
7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the connection portion and the pressing portion extend in a same direction.
8. The display device of claim 6 , wherein
the first leg portion and the second leg portion are bent, and
the connection portion is attached to the body.
9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein
the flexible printed circuit board includes conductive layers which are sequentially stacked, and
a number of the conductive layers included in the bypass portion is smaller than a number of the conductive layers included in the body.
10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the number of the conductive layers included in the bypass portion is equal to a number of the conductive layers included in the pressing portion.
11. The display device of claim 9 , wherein
the body includes three or more conductive layers, and
the bypass portion includes two or less conductive layers.
12. The display device of claim 9 , wherein
the bypass portion includes:
a support film;
a first conductive layer disposed on a first side of the support film; and
a second conductive layer disposed on a second side of the support film,
the first conductive layer includes a wire transmitting a touch signal, and
the second conductive layer includes a ground layer.
13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein
the bypass portion is bent so that at least a portion of the bypass portion overlaps the body, and
the second conductive layer is disposed farther from the body than the first conductive layer in a bent state of the bypass portion.
14. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the portions include a touch driver.
15. The display device of claim 14 , wherein the wire disposed in the bypass portion electrically connects the touch driver and the pad of the pressing portion.
16. A display device, comprising:
a display panel including a main area including a display area and a touch area, and a sub-area extending from the main area and in which a display driver is located; and
a flexible printed circuit board connected to the sub-area, wherein
the flexible printed circuit board comprises:
a body in which the touch driver is located;
a pressing portion disposed along an edge of the body and attached to the sub-area;
a tail extending from the body and having a connector disposed at an end; and a bypass portion including:
a first leg portion and a second leg portion extending in a same direction from the body; and
a connection portion connected between the first leg portion and the second leg portion.
17. The display device of claim 16 , wherein
the first leg portion and the second leg portion are bent, and
the connection portion overlaps the body.
18. The display device of claim 17 , wherein the display device further includes a shielding layer overlapping the connection portion and the body, and disposed between the connection portion and the body.
19. The display device of claim 16 , wherein
the flexible printed circuit board includes conductive layers which are sequentially stacked, and
a number of the conductive layers included in the bypass portion is smaller than a number of the conductive layers included in the body and equal to a number of the conductive layers included in the pressing portion.
20. The display device of claim 19 , wherein
the body includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, a third conductive layer, and a fourth conductive layer arranged in a thickness direction, and
the bypass portion, the first conductive layer, and the second conductive layer include a same conductive layer, or the bypass portion, the third conductive layer, and the fourth conductive layer include a same conductive layer.
