Abstract

A display device may include a display panel including a display area, a non-display area which may be disposed on a periphery of the display area, and a pad area which may be disposed on one side of the non-display area. The display panel may include data lines disposed in the display area of the display panel along a second direction which intersects a first direction, and connection lines disposed in the display area of the display panel along the first direction. A first data line among the data lines may be connected to a first connection line among the connection lines.

Claims (54)

1. A display device comprising:

a display area;

a non-display area disposed at a periphery of the display area;

a pad area protruding from the non-display area in a first direction;

a plurality of scan lines disposed in the display area and extending in the first direction;

a plurality of data lines disposed in the display area and extending in a second direction which intersects the first direction;

a plurality of connection lines disposed in the display area and extending in the first direction;

a plurality of first power supply lines extending in the first direction and receiving a first power supply voltage; and

a plurality of second power supply lines extending in the second direction and receiving a second power supply voltage which is higher than the first power supply voltage, wherein

a connection line among the plurality of connection lines is connected to a data line among the plurality of data lines via a connection hole located in the display area.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of connection lines do not overlap the plurality of scan lines.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a length of the display area in the first direction is smaller than a length of the display area in the second direction.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the connection hole penetrates at least one insulating film disposed between the connection line and the data line.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a first power supply line among the plurality of first power supply lines overlap the connection line.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the connection hole is disposed in an overlapping area of a first data line of the plurality of data lines and the first power supply line.

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

a scan driver disposed in a portion of the non-display area between the display area and the pad area, and connected to the plurality of scan lines, the pad area including a bending area and a first sub-pad area, the bending area being disposed between the non-display area and the first sub-pad area, the bending area to fold the first sub-pad area underneath the display area.

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

a plurality of fan-out lines disposed in the pad area and connected to the connection lines; and

a display driver disposed in the pad area and connected to the fan-out lines.

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

a scan driver disposed in a portion of the non-display area at a first outer side of the display area, and

wherein the plurality of connection lines do not overlap the scan driver.

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

a first scan driver disposed in a portion of the non-display area at a first outer side of the display area; and

a second scan driver disposed in a portion of the non-display area at a second outer side of the display area.

11. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of connection lines overlap one of the first scan driver and the second scan driver.

12. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the first scan driver is connected to odd-numbered scan lines among the plurality of scan lines, and the second scan driver is connected to even-numbered scan lines among the plurality of scan lines.

13. A display device comprising:

a display area;

a non-display area disposed at a periphery of the display area;

a pad area protruding from the non-display area in a first direction;

a plurality of scan lines disposed in the display area and extending in the first direction;

a plurality of data lines disposed in the display area and extending in a second direction which intersects the first direction;

a plurality connection lines disposed in the display area and extending in the first direction; and

a scan driver disposed in a portion of the non-display area between the display area and the pad area, and connected to the plurality of scan lines, wherein

a connection line among the plurality of connection lines is connected to a data line among the plurality of data lines via a connection hole located in the display area, and

the plurality of connection lines overlap the scan driver.

14. A display device comprising:

a display area;

a non-display area disposed at a periphery of the display area;

a pad area protruding from the non-display area in a first direction;

a plurality of scan lines disposed in the display area and extending in the first direction;

a plurality of data lines disposed in the display area and extending in a second direction which intersects the first direction;

a plurality of first connection lines disposed in the display area and extending in the first direction; and

a plurality of second connection lines disposed in the display area and extending in the second direction,

wherein a first connection line among the plurality of first connection lines is connected to a second connection line among the plurality of second connection lines.

15. The display device of claim 14 , wherein the second connection line is connected to a data line among the plurality of data lines via a connection hole located in the non-display area.

16. The display device of claim 14 , further comprising:

a plurality of first power supply lines extending in the first direction and receiving a first power supply voltage; and

a plurality of second power supply lines extending in the second direction and receiving a second power supply voltage which is higher than the first power supply voltage.

17. The display device of claim 16 , wherein a second power supply line among the plurality of second power supply lines overlap the second connection line.

18. The display device of claim 16 , wherein a first power supply line among the plurality of first power supply lines overlap the first connection line.

19. The display device of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of first connection lines do not overlap the plurality of scan lines.
