Abstract
A display device can include a display panel including a display area in which gate lines, data lines and thin film transistors are arranged, and a bezel area located around the display area, a gate driving circuit arranged in the bezel area and configured to drive the gate lines, and dummy holes arranged in the display area and the bezel area, wherein dummy holes arranged in the display area overlap at least one of the gate lines and the data lines, and wherein dummy holes arranged in the bezel area are positioned between an end of the gate lines and the gate driving circuit and are disposed adjacent to the end of the gate lines.
Claims20
A display device comprising:
- a display panel including a display area in which gate lines, data lines and thin film transistors are arranged, and a bezel area located around the display area;
- a gate driving circuit arranged in the bezel area and configured to drive the gate lines;
- and
- dummy holes arranged in the display area and the bezel area,
- wherein dummy holes arranged in the display area overlap at least one of the gate lines and the data lines, and
- wherein dummy holes arranged in the bezel area are positioned between an end of the gate lines and the gate driving circuit and are disposed adjacent to the end of the gate lines.
A display device comprising:
- a display panel including a substrate, a display area in which gate lines, data lines and thin film transistors are arranged, and a bezel area located around the display area;
- dummy holes arranged in at least one of the display area and the bezel area;
- an upper dummy electrode disposed in at least one of the dummy holes;
- and
- a lower dummy electrode disposed below the at least one dummy hole and contacting the upper dummy electrode,
- wherein each of the thin film transistors includes:
- a light shield electrode arranged on the substrate;
- an active layer overlapping the light shield electrode and a buffer layer between the light shield electrode and the active layer;
- a gate electrode overlapping the active layer with a gate insulating layer interposed between the active layer and the gate electrode;
- a first source-drain electrode connected to a first connection area of the active layer through a first contact hole in an interlayer insulating layer covering the gate insulating layer and the gate electrode;
- and
- a second source-drain electrode connected to a second connection area of the active layer through a second contact hole in an interlayer insulating layer covering the gate insulating layer and the gate electrode,
- wherein the lower dummy electrode includes at least one of a light shield metal layer which is a same as the light shield electrode, a gate metal layer which is a same as the gate electrode, and a source-drain metal layer which is a same as the first source-drain electrode and the second source-drain electrode.
