Abstract

A display device includes a plurality of first direction pixel lines. Each of the first direction pixel lines includes a plurality of pixels. Each of the plurality of first direction pixel lines is extended in a first direction. The plurality of first direction pixel lines are spaced apart from each other. A plurality of second direction conductive lines intersects the plurality of first direction pixel lines. The plurality of second direction conductive lines is connected to the first direction pixel lines. The plurality of second direction conductive lines transmits a scan signal.

Claims (39)

1. A display device comprising:

a plurality of first direction pixel lines, each of which includes a plurality of pixels disposed therein, and each of the plurality of first direction pixel lines extending in a first direction, wherein the plurality of first direction pixel lines are spaced apart from each other with an empty space between each of the pixel lines of the plurality of first direction pixel lines;

a plurality of second direction conductive lines intersecting the plurality of first direction pixel lines, the plurality of second direction conductive lines connected to the first direction pixel lines, and transmitting a scan signal;

a plurality of first direction assistance lines, each of which is disposed between adjacent first direction pixel lines of the plurality of first direction pixel lines; and

a plurality of second direction assistance lines, each of which is intersecting the plurality of first direction assistance lines, the plurality of second direction assistance lines formed between adjacent second direction conductive lines of the plurality of second direction conductive lines,

wherein the plurality of first direction assistance lines and the plurality of second direction assistance lines are interwoven together as warp and weft, respectively, and

wherein each of the plurality of first direction pixel lines includes a substrate line extending in the first direction.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first direction is a vertical direction, the second direction is a horizontal direction, and the second direction conductive line is a conductive line extended horizontally and transmitting a scan signal.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein, each of the plurality of first direction pixel lines further includes:
