Abstract
There is provided a display area made up of a pixel array with a non-rectangular shaped outer circumference and the pixel array is made up of a plurality of non-rectangular pixels wherein a first conductor line group including a plurality of first conductor lines and a second conductor line group including a plurality of second conductor lines, and a third conductor line group including a plurality of third conductor lines are arranged so as to intersect with one another. Thus, without sacrificing brightness, viewability, and fidelity of an image, pixel array (display device) with the non-rectangular outer circumferential shape being excellent in design characteristics is realized.
Claims9
A non-rectangular pixel array comprising:
- a non-display portion with no pixels and with a non-rectangular contour shape formed inside of said non-rectangular pixel array;
- and
- a plurality of non-rectangular pixels so arranged that at least a first conductor line group comprising a plurality of first conductor lines and a second conductor line group comprising a plurality of second conductor lines intersect with each other and so arranged as to be entirely or partially surrounded by one of said first conductor lines and one of the second conductor lines,
- wherein said first conductor lines each comprises at least a first line and a second line which are arranged in parallel and adjacent to each other,
- the non-display portion with no pixels comprises a through hole portion, and
- a connecting portion to electrically connect to an outer device is formed in a vicinity of said through hole portion.
A non-rectangular pixel array comprising:
- a non-display portion with no pixels and with a non-rectangular contour shape formed inside of said non-rectangular pixel array;
- and
- a plurality of non-rectangular pixels so arranged that a first conductor line group comprising a plurality of first conductor lines, a second conductor line group comprising a plurality of second conductor lines, and a third virtual line group comprising a plurality of third virtual lines intersect with one another and so arranged as to be surrounded by one of said first conductor lines, one of said second conductor lines, and one of said third virtual lines,
- wherein said first conductor lines each comprises at least a first line and a second line which are arranged in parallel and adjacent to each other,
- said non-display portion with no pixels comprises a through hole portion, and
- a connecting portion to electrically connect to an outer device is formed in a vicinity of said through hole portion.
A non-rectangular pixel array comprising:
- a non-display portion with no pixels and with a non-rectangular contour shape formed inside of said non-rectangular pixel array;
- and
- a plurality of non-rectangular pixels so arranged that a first conductor line group comprising a plurality of first conductor lines, a second conductor line group comprising a plurality of second conductor lines, a third conductor line group comprising a plurality of third conductor lines intersect with one another,
- wherein said non-display portion with no pixels comprises a through hole portion, and
- a connecting portion to electrically connect to an outer device is formed in a vicinity of said through hole portion.
