Abstract

A display apparatus includes a base substrate including a display region and a peripheral region that is a non-display region surrounding the display region, a plurality of data lines disposed in the display region on the base substrate and extending to the peripheral region, a bypass data line disposed in the display region and the peripheral region on the base substrate and electrically connected to at least one of the data lines, and a dummy pattern spaced apart from the bypass data line and disposed on a same layer as the bypass data line.

Claims (58)

1 . A display apparatus which includes a display region and a peripheral region that is a non-display region surrounding the display region, the display apparatus comprising:

a plurality of data lines disposed in the display region and extending to the peripheral region;

a bypass data line disposed in the display region and the peripheral region and electrically connected to at least one of the data lines; and

a dummy pattern spaced apart from the bypass data line, disposed to form a mesh structure with the bypass data line in a region where the bypass data line is disposed, and disposed to form the mesh structure alone in a region where the bypass data line is not disposed.

2 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a constant voltage is applied to the dummy pattern.

3 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising:

a first via insulating layer disposed between the data line and the bypass data line;

a second via insulating layer disposed on the first via insulating layer on which the bypass data line and the dummy pattern are disposed;

a first electrode disposed on the second via insulating layer;

a light emitting layer disposed on the first electrode; and

a second electrode disposed on the light emitting layer.

4 . The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the second via insulating layer includes an organic insulating material.

5 . The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein a step difference corresponding to the dummy pattern and the bypass data line is formed on an upper surface of the second via insulating layer on the dummy pattern and the bypass data line.

6 . The display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein at least a portion of the first electrode overlaps the dummy pattern or the bypass data line, and a step difference corresponding to the step difference is formed in the first electrode.

7 . The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the first electrode includes silver (Ag).

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

a first power line disposed between the base substrate and the first via insulating layer, a first power voltage being applied to the first power line,

wherein the first power line is disposed to overlap the bypass data line or the dummy pattern.

9 . The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the bypass data line and the data line contact each other via a contact hole that is formed through the first via insulating layer in the peripheral region.

10 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the bypass data line includes a vertical part and a horizontal part connected to the vertical part,

wherein the dummy pattern includes a plurality of vertical dummy parts and a plurality of horizontal dummy parts, and

wherein at least one of the vertical dummy parts extends in the same direction as the vertical part of the bypass data line and at least one of the horizontal dummy parts extends in the same direction as the horizontal part of the bypass data line to form the mesh structure in the region where the bypass data line is disposed.

11 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the dummy pattern includes a plurality of vertical dummy parts and a plurality of horizontal dummy parts, and the vertical dummy part and the horizontal dummy part are connected to each other to form the mesh structure in the region where the bypass data line is not disposed.

12 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display region has a quadrangle shape with rounded corners,

wherein the peripheral region includes a pad region in which a pad part is disposed,

wherein the data lines include a first data line disposed adjacent to the rounded corners and a second data line spaced apart from the first data line,

wherein the first data line is electrically connected to the pad part through the bypass data line, and

wherein the second data line is connected to the pad part without connecting to the bypass data line.

13 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the dummy pattern is disposed on a same layer as the bypass data line.

14 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a shielding electrode physically connected to the dummy pattern.

15 . An electronic apparatus comprising:

the display apparatus of claim 1 ; and

a processor configured to generate image data,

wherein the display apparatus displays an image based on the image data.

16 . A display apparatus which includes a display region and a peripheral region that is a non-display region surrounding the display region, the display apparatus comprising:

a plurality of data lines disposed in the display region and extending to the peripheral region;

a bypass data line disposed in the display region and the peripheral region and electrically connected to at least one of the data lines; and

a dummy pattern spaced apart from the bypass data line and disposed on a same layer as the bypass data line,

wherein the display region has a quadrangle shape with rounded corners,

wherein the peripheral region includes a pad region in which a pad part is disposed,

wherein the data lines include a first data line disposed adjacent to the rounded corners and a second data line spaced apart from the first data line,

wherein the first data line is electrically connected to the pad part through the bypass data line, and

wherein the second data line is connected to the pad part without connecting to the bypass data line.

17 . The display apparatus of claim 16 , wherein a constant voltage is applied to the dummy pattern.

18 . The display apparatus of claim 17 , further comprising:

a first via insulating layer disposed between the data line and the bypass data line;

a second via insulating layer disposed on the first via insulating layer on which the bypass data line and the dummy pattern are disposed;

a first electrode disposed on the second via insulating layer;

a light emitting layer disposed on the first electrode;

a second electrode disposed on the light emitting layer; and

a first power line disposed between the base substrate and the first via insulating layer, a first power voltage being applied to the first power line,

wherein the first power line is disposed to overlap the bypass data line or the dummy pattern.

19 . The display apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the bypass data line and the data line contact each other via a contact hole that is formed through the first via insulating layer in the peripheral region.

20 . An electronic apparatus comprising:

the display apparatus of claim 16 ; and

a processor configured to generate image data,

wherein the display apparatus displays an image based on the image data.
