Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention provides a highly reliable display device. In particular, a display device to which a signal or a power supply potential can be supplied stably is provided. Further, a bendable display device to which a signal or a power supply potential can be supplied stably is provided. The display device includes, over a flexible substrate, a display portion, a plurality of connection terminals to which a signal from an outside can be input, and a plurality of wirings. One of the plurality of wirings electrically connects one of the plurality of connection terminals to the display portion. The one of the plurality of wirings includes a first portion including a plurality of separate lines and a second portion in which the plurality of lines converge.

Claims (28)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a flexible substrate comprising:

a projecting part comprising a connection terminal;

a display portion, over the flexible substrate, comprising a driver circuit and a pixel portion, the pixel portion comprising a light-emitting element and a top-gate transistor comprising polycrystalline silicon in a channel region; and

a bending portion comprising a plurality of wirings, the plurality of wirings electrically connecting the connection terminal to one or both of the driver circuit and the pixel portion,

wherein the flexible substrate is bent and folded at the bending portion toward a rear side of the display portion such that an entire surface of the connection terminal overlaps with the rear side of the display portion,

wherein the projecting part projects from a part of a short side of the display portion,

wherein, in a short-side direction of the display portion, each of end portions of a short side of the projecting part is located inward from an end portion of the short side of the display portion,

wherein the flexible substrate does not comprise another part projecting from the display portion and comprising a connection terminal besides the projecting part, and

wherein each of the plurality of wirings comprises a plurality of openings.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible substrate has only one projecting part.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a touch sensor in the display portion.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the display portion comprises a curved portion.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the display portion is configured to display an image in a bent portion.

6. An electronic device comprising:

a flexible substrate comprising:

a projecting part comprising a connection terminal;

a display portion, over the flexible substrate, comprising a driver circuit and a pixel portion, the pixel portion comprising a light-emitting element and a top-gate transistor comprising polycrystalline silicon in a channel region; and

a bending portion comprising a plurality of wirings, the plurality of wirings extending from the display portion to the projecting part,

wherein the flexible substrate is bent and folded at the bending portion toward a rear side of the display portion such that an entire surface of the connection terminal overlaps with the rear side of the display portion,

wherein the projecting part projects from a part of a short side of the display portion,

wherein, in a short-side direction of the display portion, each of end portions of a short side of the projecting part is located inward from an end portion of the short side of the display portion,

wherein the flexible substrate does not comprise another part projecting from the display portion and comprising a connection terminal besides the projecting part, and

wherein each of the plurality of wirings comprises a plurality of openings.

7. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the flexible substrate has only one projecting part.

8. The electronic device according to claim 6 , further comprising a touch sensor in the display portion.

9. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the display portion comprises a curved portion.

10. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the display portion is configured to display an image in a bent portion.
