Abstract

A first conductive line is positioned outside a display area of a substrate. A passivation layer covers a portion of the first conductive line. A first connection line is positioned on the passivation layer, contacting the first conductive line. An insulation layer having at least one opening is positioned on the passivation layer and the first connection line. A second connection line is positioned on the insulation layer. The second connection line contacts the first connection line via the at least one opening and has an end portion that contacts the first conductive line. A second conductive line is positioned between the display area and the first conductive line, overlapping the first connection line and including a hole. The hole of the second conductive line overlaps one of the at least one opening. The passivation layer is interposed between the second conductive line and the first connection line.

Claims (27)

1. A display apparatus, comprising:

a display area including an organic light-emitting diode (OLED);

a first driver;

a second driver;

a plurality of fanout lines connecting the first driver to the display area;

a first conductive line;

a second conductive line;

a first connection line connected to a first region of the first conductive line; and

a second connection line connected to a second region of the first conductive line, the first connection line and an electrode of the OLED,

wherein the plurality of fanout lines, the second conductive line, the first connection line and the second connection line overlap each other.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the first connection line is interposed between the second connection line and the second conductive line, and

wherein the second conductive line is interposed between the first connection line and the plurality of fanout lines.

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

a passivation layer ( 105 ) interposed between the first connection line and the second conductive line; and

an insulation layer ( 106 ) interposed between the second connection line and the first connection line.

4. The display apparatus of claim 3 ,

wherein the insulation layer includes an opening exposing the first connection line,

wherein the second connection line is connected to the first connection line via the opening of the insulation layer,

wherein the second conductive line includes a plurality of holes penetrating the second conductive line, and

wherein the opening of the insulation layer overlaps one of the plurality of the holes of the second conductive line.

5. The display apparatus of claim 4 ,

wherein each of the plurality of the holes of the second conductive line is non-overlapped with each of the plurality of the fanout lines.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein each of the plurality of fanout lines is positioned at different heights from each other.

7. The display apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein each of the plurality of fanout lines is positioned on different layers.
