Abstract

A display device includes a substrate including a pixel area and a peripheral area located outside the pixel area; pixels located in the pixel area; power supply lines configured to provide an operating power to the pixels; and a plurality of data fanout wires configured to provide data signals to the pixels, wherein, in at least a portion of the peripheral area, the power supply lines and the plurality of data fanout wires are arranged on a same layer.

Claims (44)

1. A display device, comprising:

a substrate comprising a first plane area, a second plane area and a bent area disposed between the first and second plane areas;

pixels located in the first plane area;

power supply lines configured to provide an operating power to the pixels; and

a plurality of data wires configured to provide data signals to the pixels,

wherein the plurality of data wires comprise a plurality of groups, and

wherein the plurality of groups are spaced apart from each other in the bent area, and

wherein, in the first plane area and the second plane area, a portion of the plurality of data wires overlaps with a portion of the power supply lines in a plan view.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of data wires comprise at least four or more groups.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the power supply lines is disposed between two adjacent groups of the plurality of groups in the bent area.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the power supply lines comprise a first power supply line configured to provide a first operating power to the pixels and a second power supply line configured to provide a second operating power smaller than the first operating power to the pixels.

5. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein the power supply lines and the plurality of data wires are disposed in a same layer in the bent area.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a driver integrated circuit (IC) located in the second area and configured to provide the data signals to the plurality of data wires,

wherein, in the second area, the power supply lines extend as straight lines between the driver IC and the bent area.

7. A display device, comprising:

a substrate comprising a first plane area, a second plane area and a bent area disposed between the first and second plane areas;

pixels located in the first plane area;

power supply lines configured to provide an operating power to the pixels; and

a plurality of data wires configured to provide an operating power to the pixels; and

wherein the plurality of data wires comprise a plurality of groups, and

wherein the plurality of groups arc spaced apart from each other in the bent area,

wherein the power supply lines comprise a first power supply line configured to provide a first operating power to the pixels and a second power supply line configured to provide a second operating power smaller than the first operating power to the pixels,

wherein the plurality of data wires comprise a first group, a second group, a third group and a fourth group,

wherein a portion of the first power supply line is disposed between the second group and the third group in the bent area, and

wherein a portion of the second power supply line is disposed between the first group and the second group, and between the third group and the fourth group in the bent area.

8. A display device, comprising:

a substrate comprising a first plane area, a second plane area and a bent area disposed between the first and second plane areas;

pixels located in the first plane area;

power supply lines configured to provide an operating power to the pixels; and

a plurality of data wires configured to provide an operating power to the pixels; and

an inorganic insulating layer disposed on the substrate and including an opening corresponding to the bent area; and

an organic insulating layer covering the opening in the bent area,

wherein the plurality of data wires comprise a plurality of groups, and

wherein the plurality of groups arc spaced apart from each other in the bent area,

wherein the power supply lines comprise a first power supply line configured to provide a first operating power to the pixels and a second power supply line configured to provide a second operating power smaller than the first operating power to the pixels,

wherein the power supply lines and the plurality of data wires are disposed in a same layer in the bent area.

9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the power supply lines and the plurality of data wires are disposed on the organic insulating layer in the bent area.

10. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the display device further comprises a buffer layer, a gate insulating layer, and an interlayer insulating layer sequentially stacked.

11. The display device according to claim 10 , wherein each of the pixels comprises a thin film transistor,

wherein the thin film transistor comprises

a semiconductor layer disposed on the buffer layer;

a gate electrode disposed on the gate insulating layer; and

a source electrode and a drain electrode disposed on the interlayer insulating layer.
