Abstract

A display device includes: a substrate including a display area, a peripheral area outside the display area, and a pad area in the peripheral area; a data line in the display area; and a first connection line in the display area and connected to the data line to transmit, to the data line, a signal from the pad area, wherein the first connection line includes a first portion in a first direction and a second portion bent from the first portion and in a second direction.

Claims (39)

1. A display device comprising:

a substrate including a display area, a peripheral area outside the display area, and a pad area in the peripheral area;

a data line in the display area; and

a first connection line in the display area and connected to the data line to transmit, to the data line, a signal from the pad area,

wherein the first connection line includes a first portion in a first direction and a second portion bent from the first portion and in a second direction.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first direction is parallel to a lengthwise direction of a scan line in the display area.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second direction is parallel to a lengthwise direction of the data line.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the data line and the first portion are on different layers.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first portion and the second portion are on different layers.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first portion and the second portion are on the same layer.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first portion or the second portion extends in a straight line.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the first connection line overlaps at least one of a scan line or a pixel electrode on a plane.

10. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a second connection line arranged in the peripheral area, connected to the first connection line, and located in the pad area.

11. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display area includes a plurality of pixel areas arranged in rows and columns, and

one scan line passing through pixel areas in the same column among the plurality of pixel areas intersects with the first connection line once or twice on a plane.

12. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a distance from a portion of the first connection line, which is connected to the pad area, to the pad area is different from a distance from the pad area to a portion of the first connection line, which is connected to the data line.

13. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a point of the first connection line, which has a maximum distance from the pad area to the first connection line, is between a portion of the first connection line, which is connected to the pad area, and a portion of the first connection line, which is connected to the data line.

14. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a corner of an edge of the display area is round.

15. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the data line comprises a plurality of data lines spaced apart from each other in the display area,

the first portion overlaps at least one of the plurality of data lines on a plane, and the first portion does not overlap the rest of the plurality of data lines except for the data lines overlapping on a plane.

16. A display device comprising:

a substrate including a display area, a peripheral area outside the display area, and a pad area in the peripheral area;

a first data line in the display area;

a first connection line in the display area and connected to the first data line to transmit, to the first data line, a signal from the pad area;

a plurality of second data lines in the display area and each extending in a second direction; and

a third connection line in the peripheral area and having one end connected to one of the second data lines and the other end located in the pad area,

wherein the first connection line includes a first portion arranged in a first direction and a second portion bent from the first portion and arranged in the second direction.

17. The display device of claim 16 , wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

18. The display device of claim 16 , wherein the first direction is parallel to a lengthwise direction of a scan line in the display area, or the second direction is parallel to a lengthwise direction of the first data line.

19. The display device of claim 16 , wherein at least one of the first data line or the second data line is on a different layer from at least one of the first portion or the second portion.

20. The display device of claim 16 , wherein the first portion and the second portion are on different layers or on the same layer.

21. The display device of claim 16 , wherein at least a portion of the first connection line overlaps at least one of a scan line or a pixel electrode on a plane.

22. The display device of claim 16 , wherein a distance from a portion of the first connection line, which is connected to the pad area, to the pad area is different from a distance from the pad area to a portion of the first connection line, which is connected to the first data line.

23. The display device of claim 16 , wherein a point of the first connection line, which has a maximum distance from the pad area to the first connection line, is between a portion of the first connection line, which is connected to the pad area, and a portion of the first connection line, which is connected to the first data line.

24. A display device comprising:

a substrate including a display area of which a corner of an edge is round, a peripheral area outside the display area, and a pad area in the peripheral area;

a data line in the display area; and

a first connection line in the display area having a stepped shape and connected to the data line to transmit, to the data line, a signal from the pad area.
