Abstract

A display device includes: a substrate that includes a first area and a second area; a plurality of pixels included in the first area; and a dummy pattern included in the second area, wherein a size of the dummy pattern is smaller than a pixel area corresponding to a first pixel among the plurality of pixels, a ratio of an area occupied by a pixel pattern of the first pixel with respect to the pixel area is a first value, a ratio of an area occupied by the dummy pattern with respect to a dummy area is a second value that is greater than the first value, and the dummy area and the pixel area have the same size as each other.

Claims (20)

1. A display device, comprising:

a substrate that includes a first area and a second area;

a plurality of pixels included in the first area; and

a dummy pattern included in the second area,

wherein the first area and the second area do not overlap each other on a plane,

a size of the dummy pattern is smaller than a pixel area corresponding to a first pixel among the plurality of pixels,

a ratio of an area occupied by a pixel pattern of the first pixel with respect to the pixel area is a first value, and

a ratio of an area occupied by the dummy pattern with respect to a dummy area is a second value that is greater than the first value.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the dummy pattern comprises an island type pattern.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein a number of the island type patterns is more than one.

4. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the island type pattern comprises a polygon or a circle.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first area comprises the plurality of pixels, gate circuit portions connected to gate lines that are connected to the plurality of pixels, and a plurality of pads connected to data lines that are connected to the plurality of pixels.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the pixel pattern and the dummy pattern are disposed on the same layer.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the pixel pattern comprises a semiconductor layer.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the dummy pattern comprises a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer, the second conductive layer and the first conductive layer are disposed on different layers, and

the first conductive layer overlaps the second conductive layer.

9. The display device of claim 8 , further comprising an insulation layer disposed between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, wherein the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are insulated from each other by the insulation layer.

10. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the pixel pattern comprises a first pixel pattern disposed on the same layer as the first conductive layer and a second pixel pattern disposed on the same layer as the second conductive layer.

11. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the first pixel pattern is one among a gate electrode layer, a semiconductor layer, a data electrode layer, a pixel electrode layer, and a power source electrode layer, and the second pixel pattern is another among the gate electrode layer, the semiconductor layer, the data electrode layer, the pixel electrode layer, and the power source electrode layer.

12. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the dummy area and the pixel area have the same size as each other.
