Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention provides a highly reliable display device. In particular, a display device to which a signal or a power supply potential can be supplied stably is provided. Further, a bendable display device to which a signal or a power supply potential can be supplied stably is provided. The display device includes, over a flexible substrate, a display portion, a plurality of connection terminals to which a signal from an outside can be input, and a plurality of wirings. One of the plurality of wirings electrically connects one of the plurality of connection terminals to the display portion. The one of the plurality of wirings includes a first portion including a plurality of separate lines and a second portion in which the plurality of lines converge.

Claims (59)

1. A display device comprising:

a flexible substrate;

a display portion over the flexible substrate;

a connection terminal to which a signal from an outside is input, over the flexible substrate; and

a wiring electrically connecting the connection terminal with the display portion, over the flexible substrate,

wherein the wiring includes a first wiring and a second wiring,

wherein each of the first wiring and the second wiring includes a first portion and a second portion,

wherein the first portion has a same width as the second portion,

wherein at least two openings are opened in the first portion, and

wherein the flexible substrate can be bent in a region overlapping with the first portion.

2. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first portion has a smaller thickness than the second portion.

3. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first portion has a larger width than the second portion.

4. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the flexible substrate includes a projecting part, and

wherein the connection terminal and part of the wiring are provided over the projecting part.

5. The display device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the projecting part can be folded toward a rear side of the flexible substrate.

6. A display device according to claim 1 , further comprising an IC over the flexible substrate,

wherein the IC is electrically connected to the display portion via a third wiring, and

wherein the IC is provided between the first portion and the connection terminal.

7. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first portion includes a first conductive film, and

wherein the second portion includes a stack of the first conductive film and a second conductive film.

8. The display device according to claim 7 ,

wherein a gate electrode of a transistor included in the display portion is formed by processing the same film as one of the first conductive film and the second conductive film, and

wherein source and drain electrodes of the transistor are formed by processing the same film as the other of the first conductive film and the second conductive film.

9. An electronic device including the display device according to claim 1 .

10. A display device comprising:

a flexible substrate;

a display portion over the flexible substrate;

a connection terminal to which a signal from an outside is input, over the flexible substrate; and

a wiring electrically connecting the connection terminal with the display portion, over the flexible substrate,

wherein the wiring includes a first wiring and a second wiring,

wherein each of the first wiring and the second wiring includes a first portion and a second portion,

wherein the first portion has a same width as the second portion,

wherein at least two openings are opened in the first portion, and

wherein the flexible substrate can be bent in a region overlapping with the first portion, and

wherein a bending direction of the flexible substrate is not the same as an extending direction of the wiring in the first portion.

11. The display device according to claim 10 ,

wherein the first portion has a smaller thickness than the second portion.

12. The display device according to claim 10 ,

wherein the first portion has a larger width than the second portion.

13. The display device according to claim 10 ,

wherein the flexible substrate includes a projecting part, and

wherein the connection terminal and part of the wiring are provided over the projecting part.

14. The display device according to claim 13 ,

wherein the projecting part can be folded toward a rear side of the flexible substrate.

15. A display device according to claim 10 , further comprising an IC over the flexible substrate,

wherein the IC is electrically connected to the display portion via a third wiring, and

wherein the IC is provided between the first portion and the connection terminal.

16. The display device according to claim 10 ,

wherein the first portion includes a first conductive film, and

wherein the second portion includes a stack of the first conductive film and a second conductive film.

17. The display device according to claim 16 ,

wherein a gate electrode of a transistor included in the display portion is formed by processing the same film as one of the first conductive film and the second conductive film, and

wherein source and drain electrodes of the transistor are formed by processing the same film as the other of the first conductive film and the second conductive film.

18. An electronic device including the display device according to claim 10 .
