Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a display device, and more particularly, to a display device in which the number of data link lines or touch lines can be increased in a bent area or a folded area of a display panel. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a display device in which the number of data link lines or touch lines can be increased in a bent area or a folded area of a display panel.
Claims30
A display device comprising:
- a substrate having a display area and a non-display area, the non-display area including a bendable area with a first layer and a second layer on the first layer;
- a plurality of data lines in the display area;
- a plurality of data link lines in the bendable area of the non-display area and electrically connected to the plurality of data lines, the plurality of data link lines including:
- a first data link line disposed on the first layer;
- and
- a second data link line disposed on the second layer;
- an encapsulation layer on the substrate;
- a touch buffer layer on the encapsulation layer;
- a touch sensor structure on the touch buffer layer, the touch sensor structure comprising one or more bridge patterns on the touch buffer layer, a touch insulating film on the one or more bridge patterns, and a plurality of touch electrodes on the touch insulating film;
- a plurality of touch lines in the non-display area and electrically connected to the plurality of touch electrodes, at least one touch line of the plurality of touch lines and the second data link line being made of a conductive material;
- a data driving circuit configured to drive the plurality of data lines;
- and
- a touch driving circuit configured to drive the plurality of touch lines,
- wherein, in the bendable area, at least a part of the plurality of data link lines are on a different layer from the plurality of touch lines, and
- wherein the touch buffer layer is disposed directly on the encapsulation layer.
