Abstract

Disclosed is a display device including: a substrate including a display area for displaying an image and a peripheral area neighboring the display area; a plurality of signal lines formed in the display area; a pad formed in the peripheral area; and a plurality of connection wires for connecting the signal lines and the pad, wherein a first connection wire and a second connection wire neighboring the first connection wire from among the plurality of connection wires are disposed on different layers, and the first connection wire and the second connection wire, which are formed to extend from the pad and are bent at least twice to have at least one being bent toward backward direction, are disposed in the peripheral area.

Claims (66)

1. A display device comprising:

a substrate including a display area for displaying an image and a peripheral area neighboring the display area;

a plurality of signal lines formed in the display area;

a pad formed in the peripheral area; and

a plurality of connection wires for connecting the signal lines and the pad,

wherein a first connection wire and a second connection wire neighboring the first connection wire from among the plurality of connection wires are disposed on different layers,

the first connection wire and the second connection wire, which are shaped to extend to the display area from the pad and are bent at least twice to have at least one being bent toward backward direction, are disposed in the peripheral area, and

the first connection wire and the second connection wire each includes:

a first connector connected to the pad and a second connector connected to the signal line; and

an extension connected between the first and second connectors, the extension comprising a plurality of first brides disposed parallel to the first connector and a plurality of second bridges forming a predetermined angle with the first bridges, and the first bridges and the second brides being alternately connected,

wherein, two immediately adjacent first bridges of the plurality of first brides of the first connection wire are interposed between two first bridges of the plurality of first bridges of the second connection wire, and

two immediately adjacent first bridges of the plurality of first bridges of the second connection wire are interposed between two first bridges of the plurality of first bridges of the first connection wire.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first and second connection wires are disposed and separated from each other with a predetermined gap.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

a first bridge, of the plurality of first bridges, and a second bride, of the plurality of second bridges, adjacent to each other are vertical to each other.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first bridges are disposed parallel to each other.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein

neighboring first bridges from among the first bridges are formed to have a same length.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the second bridges are disposed parallel to each other.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein

the second bridges are formed to have different lengths.

8. The display device of claim 6 , wherein

the second bridges are formed to have the same length.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first bridges are longer than the second bridges.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the second connector is bent.

11. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

extension of the first connection wire and extension of the second connection wire neighboring the first connection wire are rotated by 180 degrees and are symmetrical with each other.

12. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

neighboring edges of the first and second connection wires overlap each other.

13. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the pad includes:

a plurality of connecting pad terminals connected to the connection wires; and

a plurality of dummy pad terminals not connected to the connection wires.

14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein

the first and second connection wires are connected to the connecting pad terminals.

15. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a flexible film connected to the pad and including a first side on which a first driving chip is provided.

16. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second driving chip formed in the peripheral area and connected to the pad.

17. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

an insulating layer is provided between the first and second connection wires.

18. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

signal lines connected to the first and second connection wires from among the signal lines are formed on different layers.

19. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the connection wires are formed to be double layers, triple layers, or quadruple layers.

20. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the signal lines are gate lines.

21. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the signal lines are data lines.

22. A display device comprising:

a substrate comprising a display panel and a pad;

a plurality of signal lines formed in the display panel;

a plurality of connecting pad terminals formed in the pad; and

a plurality of connection wires formed on the substrate for connecting the signal lines and the connecting pad terminals,

wherein a first connection wire and a second connection wire neighboring the first connection wire from among the plurality of connection wires are disposed and separated from each other with a predetermined gap on different layers, and

the first connection wire and the second connection wire having a same length, which are shaped to extend to the display panel from the pad and are bent at least twice to have at least one being bent toward backward direction, and

the first connection wire and the second connection wire each include:

a first connector connected to the pad and a second connector connected to the signal line; and

an extension connected between the first and second connectors, the extension comprising a plurality of first bridges disposed parallel to the first connector and a plurality of second brides forming a predetermined angle with the first bridges, and the first bridges and the second bridges being alternately connected,

wherein, two immediately adjacent first bridges of the plurality of first brides of the first connection wire are interposed between two first bridges of the plurality of first bridges of the second connection wire, and

two immediately adjacent first bridges of the plurality of first bridges of the second connection wire are interposed between two first bridges of the plurality of first bridges of the first connection wire.
