Abstract

A display panel includes a substrate having a non-display area surrounding an opening area, and a display area outside the non-display area, a plurality of display elements arranged in the display area, a plurality of first lines extending in a first direction and bypassing the opening area along an edge of the opening area, a plurality of second lines extending in a second direction that crosses the first direction and, the plurality of second lines bypassing the opening area along the edge of the opening area, and a plurality of third lines extending in the second direction and bypassing the opening area along the edge of the opening area, at least one of the plurality of third lines including a circuitous portion between neighboring first lines of the plurality of first lines in the non-display area.

Claims (43)

1. A display panel, comprising:

a substrate including:

a non-display area surrounding an opening area, and

a display area outside the non-display area;

a plurality of display elements arranged in the display area;

a plurality of first lines extending in a first direction and bypassing the opening area along an edge of the opening area;

a plurality of second lines extending in a second direction that crosses the first direction, the plurality of second lines bypassing the opening area along the edge of the opening area; and

a plurality of third lines extending in the second direction and bypassing the opening area along the edge of the opening area, at least one of the plurality of third lines including a circuitous portion that bypasses around the opening area in the non-display area, wherein:

neighboring first lines of the plurality of first lines each include a circuitous portion that bypasses around the opening area in the non-display area, and

the circuitous portion of the at least one of the third lines is between circuitous portions of the neighboring first lines in the non-display area.

2. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of second lines includes a circuitous portion located between the neighboring first lines in the non-display area.

3. The display panel as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the circuitous portion of the at least one of the plurality of third lines is spaced apart from the circuitous portion of the at least one of the plurality of second lines.

4. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of third lines has a constant voltage.

5. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of third lines further includes an auxiliary line that extends opposite to the circuitous portion.

6. The display panel as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the auxiliary line is connected to the at least one of the plurality of third lines.

7. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a pitch between the neighboring first lines in the non-display area is less than a pitch between the neighboring first lines in the display area.

8. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

an encapsulation substrate covering the display elements and facing the substrate; and

a sealing material surrounding the opening area between the substrate and the encapsulation substrate.

9. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an electrode layer in the non-display area, the electrode layer including a hole corresponding to the opening area.

10. The display panel as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the electrode layer has a constant voltage.

11. The display panel as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the electrode layer covers at least a part of the plurality of first lines, the plurality of second lines, and the plurality of third lines.

12. A display panel, comprising:

a substrate including:

a non-display area surrounding an opening area, and

a display area surrounding the non-display area;

a plurality of display elements arranged over the display area;

a plurality of voltage lines each having a constant voltage, the plurality of voltage lines arranged over the substrate and bypassing the opening area along an edge of the opening area in the non-display area;

a plurality of signal lines arranged over the substrate and bypassing the opening area along the edge of the opening area in the non-display area; and

an encapsulation member covering the plurality of display elements, at least one of the plurality of voltage lines includes a circuitous portion located between neighboring signal lines of the plurality of signal lines in the non-display area.

13. The display panel as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the plurality of signal lines include data lines that extend to cross the plurality of voltage lines.

14. The display panel as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the plurality of signal lines include scan lines that extend in a same direction as the plurality of voltage lines.

15. The display panel as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the circuitous portion of the at least one of the voltage lines does not overlap circuitous portions of the neighboring signal lines.

16. The display panel as claimed in claim 12 , further comprising an insulating layer between the plurality of signal lines and the plurality of voltage lines.

17. The display panel as claimed in claim 12 , further comprising an electrode layer having a ring shape in the non-display area, the electrode layer including a hole corresponding to the opening area.

18. A display panel, comprising:

a substrate including:

a non-display area surrounding an opening area, and

a display area surrounding the non-display area;

a plurality of display elements arranged over the display area;

a plurality of voltage lines arranged over the substrate and bypassing the opening area along an edge of the opening area in the non-display area, wherein at least one of the plurality of voltage lines further includes an auxiliary line that extends opposite to the circuitous portion;

a plurality of signal lines arranged over the substrate and bypassing the opening area along the edge of the opening area in the non-display area; and

an encapsulation member covering the display elements, at least one of the plurality of voltage lines includes a circuitous portion located between neighboring signal lines of the plurality of signal lines in the non-display area.
