Abstract

Provided is a display apparatus in which an area of a dead space is significantly reduced, the display apparatus including a first scan line extending in a first direction, a second scan line spaced apart from the first scan line and extending in the first direction, a first pixel set disposed between the first scan line and the second scan line, the first pixel set including a 1-1 st pixel including n sub-pixels and a 1-2 nd pixel including n sub-pixels, and n first data lines spaced apart from each other, disposed between the 1-1st pixel and the 1-2nd pixel in a plan view, extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, and electrically connected to the 1-1 st pixel and the 1-2 nd pixel.

Claims (25)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a first scan line extending in a first direction;

a second scan line spaced apart from the first scan line and extending in the first direction;

a first pixel set disposed between the first scan line and the second scan line, the first pixel set including a 1-1 st pixel including at least two sub-pixels and a 1-2 nd pixel including at least two sub-pixels, all sub-pixels included in the 1-1 st pixel being electrically connected to the first scan line and all sub-pixels included in the 1-2 nd pixel being electrically connected to the second scan line; and

at least two first data lines spaced apart from each other, disposed between the 1-1 st pixel and the 1-2 nd pixel in a plan view, and extending in a second direction crossing the first direction,

wherein each of the at least two first data lines is electrically connected to both one of the at least two sub-pixels included in the 1-1 st pixel and one of the at least two sub-pixels included in the 1-2 nd pixel, and

wherein each of the all sub-pixels included in the 1-1 st pixel is electrically connected to a corresponding one of the at least two first data lines and each of the all sub-pixels included in the 1-2 nd pixel is electrically connected to a corresponding one of the at least two first data lines.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least two is 3.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second pixel set disposed between the first scan line and the second scan line, the second pixel set including a 2-1 st pixel including at least two sub-pixels which are connected to the first scan line and a 2-2 nd pixel including at least two sub-pixels which are connected to the second scan line; and

at least two second data lines spaced apart from each other, disposed between the 2-1 st pixel and the 2-2 nd pixel in a plan view, and extending in the second direction, each of the at least two second data lines being electrically connected to both the 2-1 st pixel and the 2-2 nd pixel.

4. The display apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising a shift register distributed in a display area in which the first pixel set and the second pixel set are arranged, the shift register being configured to supply scan signals to the first scan line and the second scan line.

5. The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the shift register includes a first distributed circuit disposed between the first pixel set and the second pixel set.

6. The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the shift register includes a first distributed circuit disposed between the first pixel set and the second pixel set, a second distributed circuit disposed on one side of the first distributed circuit with the first pixel set disposed between the first distributed circuit and the second distributed circuit, and a third distributed circuit disposed on the other side of the first distributed circuit with the second pixel set disposed between the first distributed circuit and the third distributed circuit.

7. The display apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising a connection wire disposed such that the first scan line is disposed between the connection wire and the first pixel set or the second scan line is disposed between the connection wire and the first pixel set, the connection wire electrically connecting the first to third distributed circuits to each other.

8. The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the first distributed circuit, the second distributed circuit, and the third distributed circuit each includes one of a controller, an inverter circuit, an output circuit, and a pull-down circuit.

9. The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the first distributed circuit is a controller, the second distributed circuit is an inverter circuit, and the third distributed circuit is an output circuit and a pull-down circuit.

10. The display apparatus of claim 4 , further comprising a substrate having an upper surface on which the first pixel set and the second pixel set are arranged, the upper surface having a first edge, a second edge, a third edge, and a fourth edge,

wherein a first distance between the display area and the first edge is greater than a second distance between the display area and the second edge, a third distance between the display area and the third edge, and a fourth distance between the display area and the fourth edge in a plan view.

11. The display apparatus of claim 10 , further comprising a data driver disposed between the display area and the first edge.

12. The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein a distance between the 1-1 st pixel and the 1-2 nd pixel is shorter than a distance between the first pixel set and the second pixel set.

13. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sub-pixels connected to a same data line emit a same color of light.

14. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a substrate having an upper surface on which the first pixel set is arranged, the upper surface having a first edge, a second edge, a third edge, and a fourth edge,

wherein a first distance between a display area in which the first pixel set is arranged and the first edge is greater than a second distance between the display area and the second edge, a third distance between the display area and the third edge, and a fourth distance between the display area and the fourth edge in a plan view.

15. The display apparatus of claim 14 , further comprising a data driver disposed between the display area and the first edge.
