Abstract

A display device includes a data line extending in a first direction, a scan line extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, a wire extending in the second direction, and a bridge electrically connecting the wire to the data line, where the wire includes a branch protruding from the wire in the first direction, and the bridge overlaps the data line and the branch of the wire.

Claims (43)

1. A display device comprising:

a data line extending in a first direction;

a scan line extending in a second direction crossing the first direction;

a wire extending in the second direction, the wire comprising a branch protruding from the wire in the first direction; and

a bridge electrically connecting the wire to the data line,

wherein the bridge overlaps the data line and the branch of the wire,

wherein the bridge comprises:

a first bridge electrode arranged on a lower layer of the data line and at least partially overlapping the data line, and electrically connected to the data line; and

a second bridge electrode arranged in a same layer as the data line and at least partially overlapping the first bridge electrode and the branch of the wire, and electrically connected to the first bridge electrode and the branch of the wire,

wherein the display device further comprises:

an inorganic insulating layer between the first bridge electrode and the data line; and

an organic insulating layer between the data line and the wire.

2. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a power line arranged in parallel with the data line, and including a first power line and a second power line spaced apart from each other.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the bridge is arranged in a gap between the first power line and the second power line.

4. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the power line is arranged in a same layer as the data line.

5. The display device of claim 2 , further comprising a conductive pattern electrically connecting the first power line to the second power line.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the conductive pattern is arranged in a same layer as the wire.

7. A display device comprising:

a data line extending in a first direction;

a scan line extending in a second direction crossing the first direction;

a wire extending in parallel with the data line or the scan line and including a branch protruding in a direction perpendicular to an extension direction of the wire; and

a bridge overlapping a part of the wire,

wherein the bridge comprises:

a first bridge electrode arranged on a lower layer of the data line and at least partially overlapping the data line, and insulated from the data line; and

a second bridge electrode arranged in a same layer as the data line and at least partially overlapping the first bridge electrode and the wire, and electrically connected to the first bridge electrode and the wire,

wherein the display device further comprises:

an inorganic insulating layer between the first bridge electrode and the data line; and

an organic insulating layer between the data line and the wire.

8. The display device of claim 7 , further comprising a power line arranged in parallel with the data line, and including a first power line and a second power line spaced apart from each other.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the bridge is arranged in a gap between the first power line and the second power line.

10. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the power line is arranged in a same layer as the data line.

11. The display device of claim 8 , further comprising a conductive pattern electrically connecting the first power line to the second power line.

12. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the conductive pattern is arranged in a same layer as the wire.

13. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the bridge overlaps the branch protruding from the wire extending in parallel with the scan line or the wire extending in parallel with the data line.

14. A display device comprising:

a data line extending in a first direction;

a scan line extending in a second direction crossing the first direction;

a wire extending in parallel with the data line or the scan line and including a branch protruding in a direction perpendicular to an extension direction of the wire;

a bridge overlapping a part of the wire;

an inorganic insulating layer; and

an organic insulating layer between the wire and the data line on the inorganic insulating layer,

wherein the bridge comprises a bridge electrode arranged in a same layer as the data line and at least partially overlapping the wire, and electrically connected to the wire, and

wherein the inorganic insulating layer includes at least one of a hole overlapping the data line and a hole overlapping the bridge electrode.
