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.
Claims18
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 link lines in the bendable area of the non-display area, and including a first data link line disposed on the first layer;
- a light emitting element over the substrate, the light emitting element including a first electrode, a second electrode over the first electrode, and a light emitting layer between the first electrode and the second electrode;
- an encapsulation layer on the light emitting element;
- a touch buffer layer disposed directly on the encapsulation layer;
- a plurality of touch electrodes on the touch buffer layer;
- a plurality of touch lines in the non-display area and electrically connected to the plurality of touch electrodes;
- and
- a touch driving circuit configured to drive the plurality of touch lines,
- wherein the first data link line disposed on the first layer is on a different layer from the plurality of touch lines.

A display device, comprising:
- a substrate having a bendable area including a first layer and a second layer on the first layer and a link area adjacent to the bending area, wherein the second layer extends to the link area and the first layer is disposed only within the bending area;
- a plurality of data link lines in the bendable area, including a first data link line disposed on the first layer and a second data link line disposed on the second layer;
- a light emitting element over the substrate, the light emitting element including a first electrode, a second electrode over the first electrode, and a light emitting layer between the first electrode and the second electrode;
- an encapsulation layer on the light emitting element;
- a touch buffer layer disposed directly on the encapsulation layer;
- a plurality of touch electrodes disposed on the touch buffer layer;
- and
- a plurality of touch lines in the non-display area and electrically connected to the plurality of touch electrodes,
- wherein the first data link line disposed on the first layer is on a different layer from the plurality of touch lines.
6 more elements
A display device, comprising:
- a substrate having a display area and a non-display area, the non-display area including a bendable area having a first layer and a second layer on the first layer;
- a plurality of data link lines in the bendable area of the non-display area, and including a first data link line disposed on the first layer;
- a plurality of touch electrodes disposed on the substrate;
- a plurality of touch lines in the non-display area and electrically connected to the plurality of touch electrodes, including a first touch line disposed on the second layer and a second touch line disposed on the first touch line;
- and
- a touch insulating film interposed between the first touch line and the second touch line,
- wherein the first data link line disposed on the first layer is on a different layer from the plurality of touch lines, and
- wherein the first data link line and the plurality of touch lines are insulated from each other by the second layer located between the first data link line and the plurality of touch lines, and do not overlap each other in a plan view.
