Display apparatus having a small bezel

A display apparatus comprising a display area in which an image is displayed, and a peripheral area which is a non-display area, wherein the peripheral area surrounds the display area, the display apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of pixels disposed in the display area;
• and
• a data integrated circuit (IC) chip and a gate IC chip mounted on a first substrate in the peripheral area,
• a data fan-out part disposed in the peripheral area and extending from the data integrated circuit (IC) chip to the display area,
• wherein the display area has a polygonal shape, and a first corner of the display area is curved,
• wherein the gate IC chip is disposed in a second side portion of the peripheral area, wherein the peripheral area is disposed adjacent to the display area and the data IC chip is disposed in a first side portion of the peripheral area, wherein the display area is disposed between the first and second side portions of the peripheral area, and
• wherein a first corner of the peripheral area, which corresponds to the first corner of the display area, is curved to match a curvature of the first corner of the display area,
• wherein the display apparatus further comprises:
• a gate connecting part disposed in the second side portion of the peripheral area and electrically connecting the gate IC chip to an amorphous silicon gate (ASG) driving circuit disposed in a third side portion of the peripheral area, wherein the third side portion of the peripheral area is disposed adjacent to the display area in a first direction;
• a gate line disposed in the display area, wherein the gate line is electrically connected to a first pixel of the plurality of pixels, and the gate line extends in the first direction;
• and
• a data line disposed in the display area, wherein the data line is electrically connected to the first pixel, and the data line extends in a second direction that crosses the first direction,
• wherein the data line is electrically connected to the data IC through one of the plurality of wires included in the data fan-out part, and
• wherein the gate line is electrically connected to the gate IC through the gate connecting part, and
• wherein the data fan-out part is disposed between the data IC and the gate IC in the second direction.

A display apparatus, comprising:

• a first pixel disposed in a display area;
• a first data integrated circuit (IC) electrically connected to the first pixel and disposed in a peripheral area, wherein the peripheral area surrounds the display area on at least one side thereof;
• and
• a gate IC electrically connected to the first pixel and disposed in the peripheral area,
• a gate connecting part disposed in the peripheral area and electrically connected to the gate IC,
• wherein the first data IC is disposed on a first side of the peripheral area, the first side of the peripheral area positioned between a first edge of the display area and a first edge of the display apparatus,
• wherein the gate IC is disposed on a second side of the peripheral area, the second side of the peripheral area positioned between a second edge of the display area and a second edge of the display apparatus,
• wherein the first side of the peripheral area is opposite the second side of the peripheral area, and
• wherein the gate connecting part is configured to electrically connect the gate IC to a driving circuit disposed on a third side of the peripheral area, the third side of the peripheral area positioned between a third edge of the display area and a third edge of the display apparatus.
