wherein the first bypass line, the second bypass line and the third bypass line only extend in the first direction and the second direction, and the first, second and third bypass lines surround all sides defining the opening.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first bypass line includes:

a first bypass portion extending along the second direction crossing the first direction, the first bypass portion being connected to the first disconnected portion;

a second bypass portion extending along the second direction, the second bypass portion being connected to the second disconnected portion; and

a third bypass portion extending along the first direction, the third bypass portion connecting the first bypass portion and the second bypass portion.

3. The display device of claim 2 , further comprising:

a connected line disposed on the substrate in a same layer as the first disconnected line, the connected line extending along the first direction and not being disconnected by the opening,

wherein the third bypass portion overlaps the connected line along an entire length of the third bypass portion extending in the first direction.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the connected line transmits a direct current voltage.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first disconnected line is a scan line, an emission control line, or an initialization voltage line.

6. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second disconnected line disposed on the substrate in a different layer from the first disconnected line, the second disconnected line extending along the second direction crossing the first direction and including a third disconnected portion and a fourth disconnected portion, and the third disconnected portion and the fourth disconnected portion being disconnected from each other by the opening; and

the second bypass line disposed on the substrate in a different layer from the second disconnected line, the second bypass line connecting the third disconnected portion and the fourth disconnected portion to each other.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the second bypass line includes:

a fourth bypass portion extending along the first direction, the fourth bypass portion being connected to the third disconnected portion;

a fifth bypass portion extending along the first direction, the fifth bypass portion being connected to the fourth disconnected portion; and

a sixth bypass portion extending along the second direction, the sixth bypass portion connecting the fourth bypass portion and the fifth bypass portion to each other.

8. The display device of claim 7 , further comprising:

a connected line disposed on the substrate in a same layer as the second disconnected line, the connected line extending along the second direction and not being disconnected by the opening,

wherein the sixth bypass portion overlaps the connected line.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the connected line transmits a direct current voltage.

10. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the second disconnected line is a data line or a driving voltage line.

11. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the second bypass line is disposed on the substrate in a same layer as the first bypass line.

12. The display device of claim 6 , wherein a length of the second bypass line is greater than a length of the first bypass line.

13. The display device of claim 6 , further comprising:

a first conductive layer, a first insulation layer, a second conductive layer, a second insulation layer and a third conductive layer, which are sequentially stacked one on another on the substrate,

wherein

the first conductive layer includes the first disconnected line, and

the third conductive layer includes the first bypass line.

14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein:

the second conductive layer includes the second disconnected line; and
