Abstract
A display panel and a display device including the display panel are discussed. The display panel includes a substrate having an active area, and a non-active area surrounding the active area and having a first area, a second area and a third area which are spaced apart from one another, at least one signal line disposed in each of the first, second and third areas, at least one connection pattern disposed on the at least one signal line, and a sealant disposed in the non-active area. In at least one of the first, second and third areas of the non-active area of the display panel and display device, i) at least one signal line and at least one connection pattern overlap each other, and ii) at least one signal line includes an area in the form of a mesh with at least one opening.
Claims12
A display device comprising:
- a panel comprising:
- a substrate comprising an active area, and a non-active area surrounding the active area and comprising a first area, a second area and a third area which are spaced apart from one another;
- at least one signal line disposed in each of the first, second and third areas;
- and
- a sealant disposed in the non-active area,
- wherein the display device further comprises a plurality of connection patterns disposed over the at least one signal line,
- wherein in the at least one of the first, second and third areas, the at least one signal line and the plurality of connection patterns overlap each other, and the at least one signal line comprises an area in a form of a mesh with at least one opening,
- wherein the plurality of connection patterns do not overlap all or a part of the at least one opening,
- wherein the sealant overlaps the at least one of the first, second and third areas,
- wherein at least one gate driving circuit is disposed in the third area, at least some of the plurality of connection patterns are connected to at least one connection pattern extension line,
- wherein the at least one connection pattern extension line is connected to at least one transistor of the gate driving circuit,
- wherein the plurality of connection patterns are arranged in an island shape, and
- wherein each connection pattern among the plurality of connection patterns is disposed on an intersection of a signal line disposed in a first direction and another signal line disposed in a second direction crossing the first direction.
A display panel comprising:
- a first substrate comprising an active area, and a non-active area surrounding the active area and comprising a first area, a second area and a third area which are spaced apart from one another;
- at least one signal line disposed in each of the first, second and third areas;
- a plurality of connection patterns disposed over the at least one signal line;
- a second substrate facing the first substrate;
- and
- a sealant disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and disposed in the non-active area,
- wherein in the at least one of the first, second and third areas, the at least one signal line and the plurality of connection patterns overlap each other, and the at least one signal line comprises an area in a form of a mesh with at least one opening,
- wherein the plurality of connection patterns do not overlap all or a part of the at least one opening,
- wherein at least one gate driving circuit is disposed in the third area, at least some of the plurality of connection patterns are connected to at least one connection pattern extension line,
- wherein the at least one connection pattern extension line is connected to at least one transistor of the gate driving circuit,
- wherein the plurality of connection patterns are arranged in an island shape, and
- wherein each connection pattern among the plurality of connection patterns is disposed on an intersection of a signal line disposed in a first direction and another signal line disposed in a second direction crossing the first direction.
