Abstract

A display apparatus including a main display area, a component area, and a peripheral area, the display apparatus includes: a substrate; an auxiliary sub-pixel arranged in the component area on the substrate; an auxiliary pixel circuit arranged in the peripheral area on the substrate; a connection line connecting the auxiliary sub-pixel to the auxiliary pixel circuit; an auxiliary scan line arranged in the peripheral area on the substrate and connected to the auxiliary pixel circuit; and an auxiliary scan driving circuit arranged in the peripheral area on the substrate and configured to output a scan signal to the auxiliary pixel circuit through the auxiliary scan line.

Claims (39)

1. A display apparatus including a display area including a component area, the display apparatus comprising:

a data line extending in a first direction;

a first pixel circuit disposed outside the component area and connected to the data line;

a second pixel circuit disposed outside the component area and electrically connected to the data line;

a first pixel electrode disposed outside the component area and electrically connected to the first pixel circuit;

a second pixel electrode disposed in the component area and electrically connected to the second pixel circuit; and

a light blocking layer disposed in a layer below the second pixel circuit to overlap with the second pixel electrode and not to overlap with the first pixel electrode and the second pixel circuit in a plan view.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a transparent conductive line connecting the second pixel electrode and the second pixel circuit,

wherein the transparent conductive line is disposed in a layer over a thin-film transistor included the second pixel circuit.

3. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the transparent conductive line extends in the first direction.

4. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the transparent conductive line includes a first connection line disposed outside the component area and a second connection line disposed in the component area and connected to the first connection line.

5. The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein a conductivity of the first connection line is higher than a conductivity of the second connection line.

6. The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein a light transmittance of the first connection line is lower than a light transmittance of the second connection line.

7. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light blocking layer comprises a metal.

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

an auxiliary data line connected to the second pixel circuit; and

a data connection line electrically connecting the data line to the auxiliary data line.

9. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the component area includes a transmission area and the light blocking layer includes a hole corresponding to the transmission area.

10. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a component arranged in the component area,

wherein the component includes a camera.

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

a first scan line disposed outside the component area, extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and connected to the first pixel circuit; and

a second scan line disposed outside the component area, extending in the second direction and connected to the second pixel circuit.

12. The display apparatus of claim 11 , further comprising:

a first scan driving circuit arranged in a peripheral area outside the display area and configured to output a first scan signal to the first pixel circuit through the first scan line; and

a second scan driving circuit arranged in the peripheral area and configured to output a second scan signal to the second pixel circuit through the second scan line.

13. The display apparatus of claim 12 , wherein an output interval of the second scan signal is greater than an output interval of the first scan signal.

14. The display apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the second pixel circuit is disposed in the peripheral area.

15. A display apparatus comprising:

a substrate including a display area which includes a main display area and a component area;

a first pixel electrode disposed in the main display area;

a second pixel electrode disposed in the component area; and

a light blocking layer disposed in the component area between the second pixel electrode and the substrate to overlap with the second pixel electrode and not to overlap with the first pixel electrode and a pixel circuit connected to the second pixel electrode in a plan view.

16. The display apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the second pixel electrode is completely overlapped with the light blocking layer in a plan view.

17. The display apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the substrate further includes a peripheral area which surrounds the main display area and the component area, and

wherein the pixel circuit is disposed in the peripheral area.

18. The display apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the pixel circuit is connected to the second pixel electrode through a connection line.

19. The display apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the connection line includes a first connection line disposed in the peripheral area and a second connection line connected to the first connection line in the peripheral area, and

wherein a conductivity of the first connection line is higher than a conductivity of the second connection line.
