Abstract

A display according to various embodiments of the present invention may comprise: a touchscreen panel; a display panel disposed under the touchscreen panel and including a first flexible substrate; a drive circuit for driving the touchscreen panel or the display panel; and a second flexible substrate extending outward from the touchscreen panel in a partial layer of the touchscreen panel, wherein the second flexible substrate comprises: a drive circuit area in which the drive circuit is disposed; one or more first wirings connected to the drive circuit and the touchscreen panel; and a bending area which is bent with respect to the touchscreen panel. Various other embodiments may also be possible.

Claims (49)

1. A display comprising:

a touch screen panel;

a window disposed on the touch screen panel, the window including a transparent area and a bezel area surrounding at least a part of the transparent area;

a display panel disposed under the touch screen panel, and including a first flexible substrate;

a driving circuit configured to drive the touch screen panel or the display panel; and

a second flexible substrate extending from a partial portion of the touch screen panel to the outside of the touch screen panel,

wherein the second flexible substrate comprises:

a driving circuit area in which the driving circuit is disposed;

at least one first wire connected to the driving circuit and the touch screen panel; and

a bending area bent with respect to the touch screen panel, and

wherein the driving circuit area is disposed under the display panel within the transparent area.

2. The display of claim 1 , wherein the bending area of the second flexible substrate is bent to surround the first flexible substrate.

3. The display of claim 1 , wherein the bending area includes a protection member configured to protect the at least one first wire.

4. The display of claim 1 , wherein the second flexible substrate includes a chip on plastic (COP).

5. The display of claim 1

wherein the bending area is disposed under the bezel area,

wherein the second flexible substrate is bent, thereby being apart from the window.

6. The display of claim 1 , wherein at least one second wire is disposed on the first flexible substrate.

7. The display of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of electrodes are arranged on the touch screen panel, and

wherein the plurality of electrodes comprise:

a plurality of first electrode patterns arranged along a first axis; and

a plurality of second electrode patterns arranged along a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis wherein the at least one first wire comprises:

third conductive lines connected to the plurality of first electrodes; and

fourth conductive lines connected to the plurality of second electrodes.

8. The display of claim 7 , further comprising:

first junction pads connecting the plurality of first electrodes to the third conductive lines; and

second junction pads connecting the plurality of second electrodes to the fourth conductive lines.

9. An electronic device comprising:

a housing including a first surface, and a second surface facing in a direction opposite to the first surface;

a circuit board disposed inside the housing; and

a display disposed at least partially between the first surface and the circuit board,

wherein the display comprises:

a window including a transparent area and a bezel area surrounding at least a part of the transparent area;

a touch screen panel disposed under the window;

a display panel disposed under the touch screen panel, and including a first flexible substrate;

a driving circuit configured to drive the touch screen panel or the display panel; and

a second flexible substrate extending from a partial portion of the touch screen panel to the outside of the touch screen panel, and

wherein the second flexible substrate comprises:

a driving circuit area in which the driving circuit is disposed;

at least one first wire connected to the driving circuit and the touch screen panel; and

a bending area bent with respect to the touch screen panel, and

wherein the driving circuit area is disposed under the display panel within the transparent area.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the bending area of the second flexible substrate is bent to surround the first flexible substrate.

11. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the bending area includes a protection member configured to protect the at least one first wire.

12. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the second flexible substrate includes a chip on plastic (COP).

13. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein

the bending area is disposed under the bezel area, wherein the second flexible substrate is bent, thereby being apart from the window.

14. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein at least one second wire is disposed on the first flexible substrate.

15. The electronic device of claim 9 , further comprising a protection member disposed between the first flexible substrate and the second flexible substrate.
