Abstract
A display device according to an embodiment includes a plurality of driving blocks including a plurality of gate lines and a gate shorting structure spaced apart from the gate lines by an amount equal to a trimming region; an equipotential line extending from one of the driving blocks to an adjacent driving block, part of which is removed by the amount equal to the trimming region; a gate dummy line extending from at least one of the driving blocks; a plurality of data lines intersecting the gate lines; and an active layer disposed between the gate dummy line and the data lines, wherein some part of the active layer that overlaps the gate dummy line but does not overlap the data lines is removed.
Claims15
A display device comprising:
- a plurality of driving blocks comprising a plurality of gate lines and a gate shorting structure spaced apart from the gate lines as a trimming region;
- an equipotential line extending from one of the plurality of driving blocks to an adjacent driving block, part of which is removed as the trimming region;
- a gate dummy line extending from at least one of the plurality of driving blocks, part of which is removed as the trimming region;
- and
- a plurality of data lines intersecting the plurality of gate lines,
- wherein the gate dummy line partly overlaps the plurality of data lines, and
- wherein the gate dummy line is insulated from each data line due to an opening that prevents electrical connection therebetween.
A display device comprising:
- a plurality of gate lines grouped into a plurality of driving blocks;
- a plurality of data lines intersecting with the plurality of gate lines;
- a connection line between two adjacent driving blocks;
- and
- a gate dummy line extending from at least one of the plurality of driving blocks in a direction perpendicular to the plurality of data lines,
- wherein the plurality of gate lines grouped into the plurality of driving blocks, the connection line, and the gate dummy line have an interrelated configuration to minimize effects from electrical charges generated during various steps of a fabrication process for the display device,
- wherein the interrelated configuration results from disconnecting certain portions between the plurality of gate lines grouped into the plurality of driving blocks, the connection line, and the gate dummy line, which were interconnected in an equipotential manner during the fabrication process.
