Abstract

A display apparatus includes a first substrate including a display area and a non-display area at least partially surrounding the display area, and a groove that overlaps the non-display area and is recessed in a thickness direction, pixels located on the first substrate and overlapping the display area, a driving chip located in the groove, and a printed circuit board located in the non-display area and overlapping the driving chip in a plan view.

Claims (79)

1 . A display apparatus comprising:

a first substrate having an integral single-piece form, the first substrate comprising:

a display area;

a non-display area at least partially surrounding the display area; and

a groove that overlaps the non-display area and is recessed in a thickness direction partially through the first substrate;

a plurality of pixels located on the first substrate and overlapping the display area;

a driving chip located in the groove such that at least a bottom surface of the driving chip is below a top surface of the first substrate; and

a printed circuit board located in the non-display area and overlapping the driving chip in a plan view;

a first pad adjacent to the groove and electrically connected to the printed circuit board;

a second pad located in the groove, directly contacting a bottom surface of the groove, and electrically connected to the driving chip; and

a connection wiring directly contacting the bottom surface of the groove and extending from the first pad to the second pad,

wherein the driving chip and the printed circuit board are electrically connected to each other.

2 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first pad and the second pad are disposed parallel to each other in a direction in which an edge of the first substrate extends in a plan view.

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

a third pad located in the groove and electrically connected to the driving chip; and

a fan-out wiring extending from the third pad to the display area, wherein

the first pad, the second pad, and the third pad are disposed parallel to one another in a direction in which an edge of the first substrate extends in a plan view.

4 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the groove comprises:

a first edge adjacent to the display area;

a second edge between the first pad and the second pad; and

a third edge adjacent to an edge of the first substrate, and

the connection wiring extends to cross at least one of the first edge and the second edge.

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

a third pad located in the groove and electrically connected to the driving chip;

a fan-out wiring extending from the third pad to the display area; and

a data line electrically connected to the fan-out wiring, wherein

the data line is electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of pixels.

6 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the non-display area comprises:

a groove area overlapping the groove; and

a peripheral area adjacent to the groove area, and

a thickness of the first substrate in the groove area is less than a thickness of the first substrate in the peripheral area.

7 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a depth of the groove is greater than a thickness of the driving chip.

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

a second substrate facing the first substrate;

a display element layer between the first substrate and the second substrate; and

an anti-reflection layer located on the second substrate.

9 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first substrate comprises glass.

10 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a top surface of the driving chip is below the top surface of the first substrate.

11 . A display apparatus comprising:

a first substrate having an integral single-piece form, the first substrate comprising:

a display area;

a non-display area at least partially surrounding the display area; and

a groove that overlaps the non-display area and is recessed in a thickness direction partially through the first substrate;

a plurality of pixels located on the first substrate and overlapping the display area;

a driving chip located in the groove such that at least a bottom surface of the driving chip is below a top surface of the first substrate; and

a printed circuit board located in the non-display area;

a first pad adjacent to the groove and electrically connected to the printed circuit board; and

a second pad located in the groove and electrically connected to the driving chip, wherein

the first pad and the second pad are disposed parallel to each other in a direction in which an edge of the first substrate extends in a plan view.

12 . The display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the printed circuit board overlaps the driving chip in the plan view.

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

a connection wiring extending from the first pad to the second pad, wherein

the driving chip and the printed circuit board are electrically connected to each other.

14 . The display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein

the groove comprises:

a first edge adjacent to the display area;

a second edge between the first pad and the second pad; and

a third edge adjacent to the edge of the first substrate, and

the connection wiring extends to cross at least one of the first edge and the second edge.

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

a third pad located in the groove and electrically connected to the driving chip; and

a fan-out wiring extending from the third pad to the display area, wherein

the first pad, the second pad, and the third pad are disposed parallel to one another in a direction in which the edge of the first substrate extends in the plan view.

16 . The display apparatus of claim 15 , further comprising:

a data line electrically connected to the fan-out wiring, wherein

the data line is electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of pixels.

17 . The display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein

the non-display area comprises:

a groove area overlapping the groove; and

a peripheral area adjacent to the groove area, and

a thickness of the first substrate in the groove area is less than a thickness of the first substrate in the peripheral area.

18 . The display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein a depth of the groove is greater than a thickness of the driving chip.

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

a second substrate facing the first substrate;

a display element layer between the first substrate and the second substrate; and

an anti-reflection layer located on the second substrate.

20 . The display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the first substrate comprises glass.
