Abstract

A display device includes a substrate in which an active area and a non-active area surrounded by the active area are defined, where an optical hole is defined in the non-active area through the substrate; first and second sub constant voltage lines extended from the non-active area in opposite directions; a sub constant voltage connection line connecting the first and second sub constant voltage lines in the non-active area; first and second sub data lines extended from the non-active area in the opposite directions; and a sub data connection line connecting the first and second sub data lines in the non-active area. The sub data connection line is disposed in three or more different conductive layers, and the sub constant voltage connection line is disposed in a different conductive layer from the sub data connection line and insulated from the sub data connection line.

Claims (41)

1 . A display device comprising:

a substrate in which an active area and a non-active area are defined, wherein the non-active area includes a first non-active area positioned at an edge of the active area and a second non-active area surrounded by the active area, and an optical hole is defined in the second non-active area through the substrate in a thickness direction;

a first first sub constant voltage line disposed on the substrate and extended from the second non-active area in a first direction;

a second first sub constant voltage line disposed on the substrate and extended from the second non-active area in a direction opposite to the first direction;

a sub constant voltage connection line disposed on the substrate in the second non-active area and connecting the first first sub constant voltage line with the second first sub constant voltage;

a first first sub data line disposed on substrate and extended from the second non-active area in the first direction;

a second first sub data line disposed on the substrate and extended from the second non-active area in the direction opposite to the first direction; and

a sub data connection line disposed on the substrate in the second non-active area and connecting the first first sub data line with the second first sub data line,

wherein the sub data connection line is disposed in three or more different conductive layers, and

the sub constant voltage connection line is disposed in a conductive layer different from a conductive layer in which the sub data connection line is disposed and insulated from the sub data connection line.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first first sub constant voltage line is adjacent to the first first sub data line, and is disposed in a same conductive layer as the first first sub data line.

3 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the second first sub constant voltage line is adjacent to the second first sub data line, and is disposed in a same conductive layer as the second first sub data line.

4 . The display device of claim 3 , wherein

the first first sub constant voltage line and the second first sub constant voltage line are disposed in a same conductive layer as each other, and

the first first sub data line and the second first sub data line are disposed in a same conductive layer as each other.

5 . The display device of claim 4 , wherein

the sub data connection line includes a first sub data connection line disposed in a first conductive layer of the three or more different conductive layers, a second sub data connection line disposed in a second conductive layer of the three or more different conductive layers on the first conductive layer, a third sub data connection line disposed in a third conductive layer of the three or more different conductive layers on the second conductive layer, and a fourth sub data connection line disposed in a fourth conductive layer of the three or more different conductive layers on the third conductive layer.

6 . The display device of claim 5 , wherein the sub constant voltage connection line is disposed in a fifth conductive layer on the fourth conductive layer.

7 . The display device of claim 6 , wherein

the third sub data connection line is disposed between the first sub data connection line and the second sub data connection line on a plane, and

the second sub data connection line is disposed between the third sub data connection line and the fourth sub data connection line on the plane.

8 . The display device of claim 7 , wherein the first to fourth sub data connection lines are repeatedly arranged in the second non-active area along a second direction crossing the first direction.

9 . The display device of claim 7 , wherein the sub constant voltage connection line overlaps the first to fourth sub data connection lines on a plane.

10 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein the sub constant voltage connection line has a cylindrical electrode shape.

11 . The display device of claim 7 , wherein

the sub constant voltage connection line is provided in plural, and

each of a plurality of sub constant voltage connection lines has a line shape.

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

a plurality of first constant voltage lines extended in the first direction and arranged along a second direction crossing the first direction; and

a plurality of second constant voltage lines extended in the second direction and arranged along the first direction,

wherein the first constant voltage lines are disposed in a same layer as the first first sub constant voltage line, and

the second constant voltage lines are disposed in a layer different from a layer in which the first constant voltage line is disposed.

13 . The display device of claim 12 , wherein the second constant voltage lines are disposed in a same layer as the fourth sub data connection line.

14 . The display device of claim 12 , wherein

each of the first constant voltage lines is electrically connected with at least one selected from the second constant voltage lines, and

each of the second constant voltage lines is electrically connected with at least one selected from the first constant voltage lines.

15 . The display device of claim 12 , further comprising:

a plurality of data lines extended in the first direction and spaced apart from the first constant voltage lines and the second constant voltage lines;

a line pad electrically connected with the data lines; and

a connection line electrically connecting a portion of the data lines with the line pad,

wherein the data lines include a first data line directly and electrically connected with the line pad, and a second data line electrically connected with the line pad through the connection line.
