Abstract
A display panel including a substrate having a first area, a display area, and an intermediate area between the first area and the display area; a plurality of data lines extending in a first direction in the display area; and a data distributor including switches electrically connected to the plurality of data lines. The plurality of data lines include a first data line and a second data line, and each of the first data line and the second data line bypasses an edge of the first area in the intermediate area, and a bypass portion of the first data line and a bypass portion of the second data line overlap each other in the intermediate area.
Claims20
A display panel comprising:
- a substrate comprising a first area, a display area, and an intermediate area arranged between the first area and the display area;
- a light-emitting diode in the display area and comprising a pixel electrode, an opposite electrode, and a light emitting layer between the pixel electrode and the opposite electrode;
- a plurality of data lines extending along a first direction in the display area;
- and
- a data distributor comprising switches electrically connected to the plurality of data lines,
- wherein:
- the plurality of data lines comprise a first data line and a second data line, a bypass portion of the first data line and a bypass portion of the second data line overlapping each other in the intermediate area;
- and
- the bypass portion of the first data line and the bypass portion of the second data line are overlapped with a voltage layer that has a continuous ring shape completely surrounding the first area in a plan view.
A display device comprising:
- a display panel including a first area, a display area, and an intermediate area between the first area and the display area;
- and
- a component corresponding to the first area of the display panel;
- wherein:
- the display panel comprises:
- a plurality of pixels located in the display area, each of the plurality of pixels comprising a light-emitting diode and a transistor electrically connected to the light-emitting diode, the light-emitting diode comprising a light-emitting layer between a pixel electrode and an opposite electrode;
- and
- a plurality of data lines providing data signals to the plurality of pixels;
- the plurality of data lines comprise a first data line and a second data line, each of which comprises an extension portion extending in a first direction in the display area and a bypass portion bypassing the first area in the intermediate area;
- the bypass portion of the first data line and the bypass portion of the second data line overlap each other in the intermediate area;
- and
- the bypass portion of the first data line and the bypass portion of the second data line are overlapped with a voltage layer that has a continuous ring shape completely surrounding the first area in a plan view.
