Abstract
In order to minimize an additional non-output region that is generated when a wire bypasses a non-output region of a display, a mobile terminal is provided which comprises: a display panel including the non-output region; a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) substrate included in the display panel; a TFT wire that is provided on a front surface of the TFT substrate to form an output region and is isolated in the non-output region; a via hole formed at the isolated point of the TFT substrate; and a bypass wire for connecting the isolated TFT wire through the via hole.
Claims9
A mobile terminal comprising:
- a display panel including a non-output region that is contiguous to an output region of the display panel;
- a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) substrate included in the display panel;
- TFT wires disposed on a front surface of the TFT substrate to define the output region of the display panel,
- wherein the TFT wires include isolated TFT wires that have:
- first and second TFT wire segments that are isolated from each other by the non-output region, and
- third and fourth TFT wire segments that are isolated from each other by the non-output region;
- first and second via holes in the TFT substrate corresponding to inner end portions of the first and second TFT wire segments;
- third and fourth via holes in the TFT substrate corresponding to inner end portions of the third and fourth TFT wire segments;
- and
- a bypass wire connecting the inner end portions of the first and second TFT wire segments with each other through the first and second via holes while bypassing the non-output region,
- wherein the bypass wire includes:
- first, second, third and fourth vertical connection wire segments passing through respective ones of the first, second, third and fourth via holes;
- a first horizontal connection wire segment connecting ends of the first and second vertical connection wire segments with each other while bypassing the non-output region;
- and
- a second horizontal connection wire segment connecting ends of the third and fourth vertical connection wire segments with each other while bypassing the non-output region,
- wherein the first and second horizontal connection wire segments are located in different layers and overlap each other in a thickness direction.
