Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a display device. Background Art

For example, display devices are being applied to various electronic devices such as smartphones, digital cameras, notebook computers, navigation devices, and digital televisions.

[0004] An organic light emitting display device uses a plurality of light emitting elements each including a light emitting layer of an organic light emitting material to display an image. As described above, an organic light emitting display device uses self-luminous elements to realize image display, so that compared with other display devices, it can have relatively excellent performance in terms of power consumption, response speed, light emitting efficiency, brightness, and wide viewing angle.
[0005] One side of the display device may be a display surface including a display area for displaying an image and a non-display area as a periphery of the display area. In the display area, light emitting areas emitting light with various brightness and colors may be arranged.
[0006] As the display device becomes higher in resolution or larger in size, the number of data wirings increases, and the transmission paths between the data wirings and the display driving circuits are dispersed more widely. As a result, distorted or delayed data signals may be supplied to data wirings with longer transmission paths among the multiple data wirings.

Each light-emitting pixel driving part EPD may be connected to the light-emitting elements ( Figure 6 LEL) are electrically connected respectively.
[0086] The light emitting area EA may be in a rhombus-shaped or rectangular-shaped plane. However, this is only an example, and the plane shape of the light emitting area EA involved in one embodiment is not limited to Figure 4 That is, the light emitting area EA may have a polygonal shape such as a quadrilateral, a pentagon, a hexagon, or the like, or a circular or elliptical plane shape including a curved edge position.

[0103] The display driving circuit 200 may convert the image data DATA into an analog data voltage and output the analog data voltage to the data wiring DL.
[0104] The gate driving circuit 101 generates a gate signal according to the scanning control signal SCS, and sequentially outputs the gate signal to the gate wiring GL. The gate wiring GL may include a gate line that transmits a scanning write signal ( Figure 6 GW) scan write wiring ( Figure 6 GWL), transmit scan initialization signal ( Figure 6 GI) scan initialization wiring ( Figure 6 GIL) and pass gate control signals ( Figure 6 Gate control wiring of GC) Figure 6 of GCL).
[0105] The light emission control circuit 102 can sequentially output light emission control signals ( Figure 6 The light emission control signal EC of the light emission control circuit 102 may have a pulse of a first level voltage or a second level voltage. On the other hand, the light emission control circuit 102 may be built into the gate driving circuit 101 instead of being separately provided from the gate driving circuit 101.
[0106] The power supply unit 600 can supply power to the light-emitting pixel driving unit EPD and the light-emitting element ( Figure 6 Various power supplies required to drive the LEL).
[0107] As an example, the power supply unit 600 may supply power for driving the light emitting element ( Figure 6 The first power supply (LEL) Figure 6 ELVDD) and the second power supply ( Figure 6 ELVSS) and an initialization power supply ( Figure 6 Vint).
[0108] Figure 6 Yes means Figure 4 and Figure 5 The equivalent circuit diagram of the light-emitting pixel driving unit is shown.
[0109] Reference Figure 6 In the display device 100 of the embodiment, one light emitting element LEL among the plurality of light emitting elements LEL of the element layer 130 may be electrically connected between one light emitting pixel driving unit EPD among the plurality of light emitting pixel driving units EPD of the circuit layer 120 and the second power source ELVSS.
[0110] That is, the anode of the light emitting element LEL ( Figure 7 131) can be electrically connected to the light-emitting pixel driving unit EPD to the cathode ( Figure 7134) can apply the second power source ELVSS having a voltage level lower than the first power source ELVDD.
[0111] The capacitor Cel connected in parallel with the light emitting element LEL represents a parasitic capacitance between the anode 131 and the cathode 134 .
[0112] The circuit layer 120 may include a first power wiring VDL transferring a first power source ELVDD and an initialization power wiring VIL transferring an initialization power source Vint.
[0113] The circuit layer 120 may further include a scan write wiring GWL transmitting a scan write signal GW, a scan initialization wiring GIL transmitting a scan initialization signal GI, a light emission control wiring ECL transmitting a light emission control signal EC, and a gate control wiring GCL transmitting a gate control signal GC.
[0114] One light emitting pixel driving part EPD in the circuit layer 120 may include a driving transistor DT generating a driving current for driving the light emitting element LEL, transistors ST1 ˜ ST6 electrically connected to the driving transistor DT, and at least one capacitor PC1 .
[0115] The driving transistor DT and the light emitting element LEL are connected in series between the first power source ELVDD and the second power source ELVSS.
[0116] That is, the first electrode (eg, source electrode) of the driving transistor DT may be electrically connected to the first power wiring VDL through the fifth transistor ST5. In addition, the second electrode (eg, drain electrode) of the driving transistor DT may be electrically connected to the anode 131 of the light emitting element LEL through the sixth transistor ST6.
[0117] The first electrode of the driving transistor DT may be electrically connected to the data line DL through the second transistor ST2 .
[0118] The gate electrode of the driving transistor DT may be electrically connected to the first power wiring VDL through the first capacitor PC1. That is, the first capacitor PC1 may be electrically connected between the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT and the first power wiring VDL.
[0119] Thereby, the potential of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT can be maintained at the first power source ELVDD supplied from the first power source wiring VDL.
[0120] In addition, if the data signal Vdata of the data wiring DL is transmitted to the first electrode of the driving transistor DT through the turned-on second transistor ST2, a voltage difference between the first power source ELVDD and a voltage corresponding to the data signal Vdata may be generated between the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT and the first electrode of the driving transistor DT.
[0121] At this time, if the voltage difference between the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT and the first electrode of the driving transistor DT (i.e., the gate-source voltage difference) becomes greater than the threshold voltage, the driving transistor DT is turned on, thereby generating a drain-source current of the driving transistor DT corresponding to the data signal Vdata.
[0122] Next, if the fifth transistor ST5 and the sixth transistor ST6 are turned on, the driving transistor DT can be connected in series with the light emitting element LEL between the first power wiring VDL and the second power wiring VSL. Thus, the drain-source current of the driving transistor DT corresponding to the data signal Vdata can be supplied as the driving current of the light emitting element LEL.
[0123] Thus, the light emitting element LEL can emit light with brightness corresponding to the data signal Vdata.
[0124] The first transistor ST1 may be electrically connected between a gate electrode of the driving transistor DT and a second electrode of the driving transistor DT. The first transistor ST1 may be turned on according to a scan write signal GW of the scan write wiring GWL. The first transistor ST1 may be composed of a 1-1 transistor ST11 and a 1-2 transistor ST12.
[0125] The second transistor ST2 may be electrically connected between the first electrode of the driving transistor DT and the data wiring DL. The second transistor ST2 may be turned on according to the scan write signal GW of the scan write wiring GWL.
[0126] The third transistor ST3 may be connected between the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT and the initialization power wiring VIL. The third transistor ST3 may be turned on according to the scanning initialization signal GI of the scanning initialization wiring GIL. The third transistor ST3 may be composed of a 3-1 transistor ST31 and a 3-2 transistor ST32.
[0127] The fourth transistor ST4 may be electrically connected between the anode 131 of the light emitting element LEL and the initialization power wiring VIL. The fourth transistor ST4 may be turned on according to the gate control signal GC of the gate control wiring GCL.
[0128] The fifth transistor ST5 may be electrically connected between the first electrode of the driving transistor DT and the first power wiring VDL.
[0129] The sixth transistor ST6 may be electrically connected between the second electrode of the driving transistor DT and the anode 131 of the light emitting element LEL.
[0130] The fifth transistor ST5 and the sixth transistor ST6 may be turned on according to the light emission control signal EC of the light emission control wiring ECL.
[0131] like Figure 6 As shown, the driving transistor DT and the first transistor ST1 to the sixth transistor T6 can be set as P-type MOSFET. However, this is only an example, and the driving transistor DT and a part of the first transistor ST1 to the sixth transistor T6 can also be set as N-type MOSFET. As an example, the first transistor ST1 and the third transistor ST3 can be set as N-type MOSFET.

[0161] Figure 8 It means that the embodiment involves Figure 2 A plan view of the substrate.
[0162] Reference Figure 8 The substrate 110 of the display device 100 according to the embodiment includes a main area MA corresponding to a display surface and a sub-area SBA protruding from one side of the main area MA.
[0163] The main area MA includes a display area DA arranged in the central majority and a non-display area NDA arranged at an edge position and surrounding the display area DA.
[0164] The display area DA may include an adjacent area ADJA facing the sub-area SBA in the second direction DR2 and a separation area DSTA disposed between the adjacent area ADJA and the non-display area NDA in the first direction DR1 .
[0165] The display area DA may include a plurality of separation areas DSTA respectively connected to both sides of the adjacent area ADJA in the first direction DR1.
[0166] The non-display area NDA may include a gate driving circuit area GDRA where a gate driving circuit 101 and a light emitting control circuit 102 are configured.
[0167] The gate driving circuit area GDRA may be disposed in a portion adjacent to at least one side of the display area DA along the first direction DR1 in the non-display area NDA.
[0168] The sub-region SBA may include a bending region BA deformed into a curved shape, a first sub-region SB1 disposed between one side of the bending region BA and the main region MA, and a second sub-region SB2 connected to the other side of the bending region BA.
[0169] If the bending area BA is deformed into a curved shape, the second sub-area SB2 is disposed below the substrate 110 and overlaps with the main area MA.
[0170] The display driving circuit 200 may be disposed in the second sub-region SB2 .
[0171] The signal pad SPD bonded to the circuit board 300 may be disposed at one side edge position of the second sub-region SB2 .
[0172] Fig. 9 It means that the embodiment involves Figure 8 Layout diagram of part C. Fig.10 Yes means Fig. 9 The timing diagram of the first demultiplexing control signal and the second demultiplexing control signal is shown.
[0173] Reference Fig. 9 The display driving circuit 200 of the display device 100 according to the embodiment may be configured in the sub-region SBA of the substrate 110 .
[0174] The display driving circuit 200 may be disposed in the second sub-region SB2 of the sub-region SBA. Thus, if the bending region BA of the sub-region SBA is deformed into a curved shape, the display driving circuit 200 may be disposed together with the second sub-region SB2 on the rear surface of the substrate 110 and overlap the main region MA of the substrate 110 .
[0175] The data wirings DL of the circuit layer 120 of the display device 100 according to the embodiment may include first data wirings DL1 arranged in the adjacent area ADJA and second data wirings DL2 arranged in the separated area DSTA.
[0176] Among the first data wiring DL1 and the second data wiring DL2 , the first data wiring DL1 may be disposed closer to the sub-region SBA.
[0177] As an example, the first data wiring DL1 may face the sub-area SBA in the second direction DR2 or be adjacent to the sub-area SBA within a critical distance. In addition, the second data wiring DL2 may be adjacent to the non-display area NDA in the first direction DR1.
[0178] As described above, the first data wiring DL1 may be disposed adjacent to the sub-area SBA, so that a path for transmitting a data signal to the first data wiring DL1 (hereinafter, referred to as a 'transmission path') may be shorter than the first extension length.
[0179] In contrast, the second data wiring DL2 may be farther away from the sub-area SBA than the first data wiring DL1 , so that a transfer path of a data signal of the second data wiring DL2 may be longer than the first extension length.
[0180] That is, the data signal of the second data wiring DL2 can be supplied via a relatively long transmission path longer than the first extension length compared to the data signal of the first data wiring DL1. Therefore, the data signal of the second data wiring DL2 is more easily distorted due to delay or voltage drop than the data signal of the first data wiring DL1.
[0181] As an example, the first extension length may be selected as one of a median value and an average value of the transmission paths of the plurality of data wirings DL. As another example, the first extension length may also be selected as a critical value at which the difference between the data signal at the time point at which it reaches the data wiring DL and the data signal at the time point at which it is output from the output buffer of the display driving circuit 200 affects the brightness.
[0182] The display device 100 according to the embodiment may include a demultiplexing circuit DMC for classifying the transmission paths between the display driving circuit 200 and the data lines DL according to the extension lengths in order to facilitate the compensation of the transmission paths having a length longer than the first extension length.
[0183] According to an embodiment, the demultiplexing circuit DMC may be configured in the sub-area SBA of the substrate 110 together with the display driving circuit 200 .
[0184] As an example, the demultiplexing circuit DMC may be disposed in the second sub-region SB2 in the sub-region SBA. That is, the demultiplexing circuit DMC may be disposed between the display driving circuit 200 and the bending area BA.
[0185] That is, the display device 100 according to the embodiment may further include a demultiplexing circuit DMC electrically connected between the display driving circuit 200 and the data wiring DL of the circuit layer 120 .
[0186] According to an embodiment, the demultiplexing circuit DMC may include a first demultiplexing control signal ( Fig.10 The first demultiplexing transistor DXT1 is turned on by the CLA) and the second demultiplexing control signal ( Fig.10 The second demultiplexing transistor DXT2 is turned on by CLB).
[0187] The first data wiring DL1 may be electrically connected to the display driving circuit 200 through the first demultiplexing transistor DXT1 of the demultiplexing circuit DMC and a transfer path smaller than the first extension length.
[0188] The second data wiring DL2 may be electrically connected to the display driving circuit 200 via the second demultiplexing transistor DXT2 of the demultiplexing circuit DMC and a transmission path having a first extension length or more.
[0189] According to an embodiment, the circuit layer 120 may further include a data supply wiring DSPL extending from the sub-area SBA toward the display area DA and electrically connected between the data wiring DL and the demultiplexing circuit DMC.
[0190] The transfer path of the first data wiring DL1 may include the first data supply wiring DSPL1 electrically connected between the first demultiplexing transistor DXT1 and the first data wiring DL1 among the data supply wirings DSPL.
[0191] As an example, the first data supply wiring DSPL1 may include a first data output wiring DOPL1 extending from the first demultiplexing transistor DXT1 of the demultiplexing circuit DMC toward the bending area BA, a first data bending wiring DBDL1 extending from the first data output wiring DOPL1 toward the first sub-area SB1, and a first data extension wiring DEXL1 extending from the first data bending wiring DBDL1 toward the first data wiring DL1. That is, the first data output wiring DOPL1 may be arranged in the second sub-area SB2, the first data bending wiring DBDL1 may be arranged in the bending area BA, and the first data extension wiring DEXL1 may be arranged in the first sub-area SB1 and the non-display area NDA.
[0192] As an example, the first data bending wiring DBDL1 may be disposed in the second source-drain conductive layer ANDE2 on the first planarization layer 125 or in the third source-drain conductive layer (not shown) on the second planarization layer 126 .
[0193] In addition, the first data output wiring DOPL1 and the first data extension wiring DEXL1 may be disposed in the first gate conductive layer GEDT, GE6 or the second gate conductive layer CAE covered by the interlayer insulating layer 124 .
[0194] The transfer path of the second data wiring DL2 may include the second data supply wiring DSPL2 electrically connected between the second demultiplexing transistor DXT2 and the second data wiring DL2 among the data supply wiring DSPL.
[0195] As an example, the second data supply wiring DSPL2 may include a second data output wiring DOPL2 extending from the second demultiplexing transistor DXT2 of the demultiplexing circuit DMC toward the bending area BA, a second data bending wiring DBDL2 extending from the second data output wiring DOPL2 toward the first sub-area SB1, and a second data extension wiring DEXL2 extending from the second data bending wiring DBDL2 toward the second data wiring DL2. That is, the second data output wiring DOPL2 may be configured in the second sub-area SB2, the second data bending wiring DBDL2 may be configured in the bending area BA, and the second data extension wiring DEXL2 may be configured in the first sub-area SB1 and the non-display area NDA.
[0196] As an example, the second data bending wiring DBDL2 may be disposed in the second source-drain conductive layer ANDE2 on the first planarization layer 125 or the third source-drain conductive layer on the second planarization layer 126 .
[0197] In addition, the second data output wiring DOPL2 and the second data extension wiring DEXL2 may be disposed in the first gate conductive layer GEDT, GE6 or the second gate conductive layer CAE covered by the interlayer insulating layer 124 .
[0198] According to an embodiment, the circuit layer 120 may further include a first power supply wiring VDSPL disposed in the non-display area NDA and transmitting the first power source ELVDD and a second power supply wiring VSSPL transmitting the second power source ELVSS.
[0199] The first power supply wiring VDSPL and the second power supply wiring VSSPL may extend from the respective signal pads SPD of the second sub-area SB2 toward the non-display area NDA, respectively.
[0200] The display driving circuit 200 may supply the first demultiplexing control signal CLA to the first demultiplexing control wiring CLAL, and supply the second demultiplexing control signal CLB to the second demultiplexing control wiring CLBL.
[0201] Reference Fig.10 The output buffer OPBF of the display driving circuit 200 can output the data signal of the light-emitting pixel driving unit EPD during each image frame period (n)-th_H, (n+1)-th_H (here, n is a natural number greater than 1).
[0202] The first demultiplexing control signal CLA may be supplied in a first period AT in each image frame period (n)-th_H, (n+1)-th_H. The second demultiplexing control signal CLB may be supplied in a second period BT after the first period AT in each image frame period (n)-th_H, (n+1)-th_H.
[0203] That is, the data signal of the first data wiring DL1 can be transmitted to the first data supply wiring DSPL1 in the first period AT in each image frame period (n)-th_H, (n+1)-th_H through the first demultiplexing transistor DXT1 turned on according to the first demultiplexing control signal CLA.
[0204] In addition, the data signal of the second data wiring DL2 can be transmitted to the second data supply wiring DSPL2 in the second period BT after the first period AT in each image frame period (n)-th_H, (n+1)-th_H through the second demultiplexing transistor DXT2 turned on according to the second demultiplexing control signal CLB.
[0205] Thus, the display driving circuit 200 can output the data signal of the first data wiring DL1 in the first period AT, and output the data signal of the second data wiring DL2 transmitted to the transmission path having the first extension length or longer in the second period BT after the first period AT.
[0206] That is, according to the embodiment, the display driving circuit 200 outputs the data signal of the first data wiring DL1 and the data signal of the second data wiring DL2 at different periods from each other.
[0207] Therefore, the display driving circuit 200 can output the data signal of the second data wiring DL2 to which the compensation value corresponding to the first extension length is applied in the second period BT based on the data control signal DCS of the timing control unit 500 .
[0208] That is, the data signal of the second data wiring DL2 may be different from the data signal of the first data wiring DL1 and may include a compensation value corresponding to the first extension length.
[0209] According to an embodiment, the compensation value may be applied by increasing the voltage level of the data control signal DCS of the timing control unit 500 according to the grayscale of the data signal or by extending the output period of the data signal.
[0210] As described above, even if the display driving circuit 200 does not include a compensation circuit associated with a relatively long transmission path, a compensation value corresponding to the first extension length can be applied to the data signal of the second data wiring DL2 transmitted to the transmission path longer than the first extension length.
[0211] Thus, even without changing the display driving circuit 200, it is possible to prevent the display quality from being degraded due to distortion of the data signal caused by the relatively long transmission path, thereby facilitating higher resolution and larger size without affecting the thinning of the display device 100 and the reduction of manufacturing costs.
[0212] on the other hand, Fig.10 The second period BT is arranged directly after the first period AT and a short blank period BK is included after the first period AT and the second period BT, but this is only an example. As an example, a waiting period may be further arranged between the first period AT and the second period BT.
[0213] Fig.11 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example in which a gamma curve is applied to the compensation value according to the embodiment.
[0214] Reference Fig.11 The display driving circuit 200 of the embodiment can generate the data signal of the first data wiring DL1 based on the general gamma curve GC. On the contrary, when generating the data signal of the second data wiring DL2, the display driving circuit 200 can be based on the compensation gamma curve CC having a higher slope and a voltage level of the highest grayscale than the general gamma curve GC.
[0215] The voltage level CC_max of the highest grayscale of the compensation gamma curve CC is higher than the voltage level GC_max of the highest grayscale of the general gamma curve GC.
[0216] That is, the highest grayscale voltage level CC_max of the data signal of the second data wiring DL2 may be higher than the highest grayscale voltage level GC_max of the data signal of the first data wiring DL1 according to the compensation value corresponding to the first extension length.
[0217] Thus, distortion of the data signal of the second data wiring DL2 based on the transmission path having the first extension length or longer can be compensated in advance, thereby preventing degradation of image quality caused by the transmission path having the first extension length or longer.
[0218] Fig.12 This is a diagram showing an example in which the compensation value according to the embodiment is applied to the first period and the second period.
[0219] Reference Fig.12 The display driving circuit 200 involved in the embodiment can adjust the length of the second period BT′ of the data signal output to the second data wiring DL2 of the transmission path longer than the first extension length to be longer than the length of the first period AT′ of the data signal output to the first data wiring DL1 according to the data control signal DCS of the timing control unit 500.
[0220] Therefore, even if the data signal of the second data wiring DL2 is delayed compared with the data signal of the first data wiring DL1 due to the transmission path longer than the first extension length, the data signal of the second data wiring DL2 can be less distorted because the data signal is supplied during the relatively long second period BT′.
[0221] on the other hand, Fig. 9 The demultiplexing circuit DMC is shown as including two demultiplexing transistors DXT1 and DXT2 , but this is merely an example, and the demultiplexing circuit DMC may include three or more demultiplexing transistors.
[0222] Fig.13 It means that an embodiment involves Figure 8 Layout diagram of part C. Fig.14 Yes means Fig.13 The timing diagram of the first demultiplexing control signal, the second demultiplexing control signal and the third demultiplexing control signal is shown.
[0223] Reference Fig.13 The display device 100 according to one embodiment is similar to the display device 100 in that the demultiplexing circuit DMC further includes a third demultiplexing transistor DXT3 and the data wiring DL of the circuit layer 120 further includes a third data wiring DL3. Figures 1 to 12 The display device 100 of the illustrated embodiment is substantially the same, and thus repeated descriptions are omitted below.
[0224] According to one embodiment, the display area DA of the substrate 110 may include an adjacent area ADJA facing at least a portion of the sub-area SBA in the second direction DR2 and first and second separation areas DSTA1 and DSTA2 arranged between the adjacent area ADJA and the non-display area NDA in the first direction DR1.
[0225] The adjacent area ADJA may face a central portion of the sub-area SBA in the first direction DR1.
[0226] The first separated area DSTA1 may be disposed between the adjacent area ADJA and the second separated area DSTA2. The first separated area DSTA1 may face one side portion of the sub-area SBA in the first direction DR1.
[0227] The second separation area DSTA2 may be disposed between the first separation area DSTA1 and the non-display area NDA. The second separation area DSTA2 may be disposed adjacent to a bent corner of the substrate 110 .
[0228] According to an embodiment, the data wirings DL of the circuit layer 120 may include a first data wiring DL1 arranged in the adjacent area ADJA, a second data wiring DL2 arranged in the first separated area DSTA1, and a third data wiring DL3 arranged in the second separated area DSTA2.
[0229] Among the first data wiring DL1, the second data wiring DL2 and the third data wiring DL3, the first data wiring DL1 can be configured to be closest to the central portion of the sub-area SBA in the first direction DR1, and the third data wiring DL3 can be configured to be farthest from the sub-area SBA and closest to the non-display area NDA in the first direction DR1.
[0230] Thus, the transmission path of the first data wiring DL1 may be shorter than the first extension length, the transmission path of the second data wiring DL2 may be longer than the first extension length and shorter than the second extension length, and the transmission path of the third data wiring DL3 may be longer than the second extension length.
[0231] According to an embodiment, in order to implement compensation for a transfer path shorter than the second extension length and compensation for a transfer path longer than the second extension length in different ways, the demultiplexing circuit DMC includes not only the first demultiplexing transistor DXT1 and the second demultiplexing transistor DXT2, but also a third demultiplexing control signal ( Fig.14 The third demultiplexing transistor DXT3 is turned on by CLC).
[0232] According to an embodiment, the first data wiring DL1 may be electrically connected to the display driving circuit 200 through the first demultiplexing transistor DXT1 of the demultiplexing circuit DMC and a transfer path smaller than the first extension length.
[0233] The second data wiring DL2 may be electrically connected to the display driving circuit 200 through the second demultiplexing transistor DXT2 of the demultiplexing circuit DMC and a transmission path longer than the first extension length and shorter than the second extension length.
[0234] The third data wiring DL3 may be electrically connected to the display driving circuit 200 via the third demultiplexing transistor DXT3 of the demultiplexing circuit DMC and a transmission path having a second extension length or more.
[0235] The transfer path of the third data wiring DL3 may include a third data supply wiring DSPL3 electrically connected between the third demultiplexing transistor DXT3 and the third data wiring DL3 among the data supply wiring DSPL.
[0236] As an example, the third data supply wiring DSPL3 may include a third data output wiring DOPL3 extending from the third demultiplexing transistor DXT3 of the demultiplexing circuit DMC toward the bending area BA, a third data bending wiring DBDL3 extending from the third data output wiring DOPL3 toward the first sub-area SB1, and a third data extension wiring DEXL3 extending from the third data bending wiring DBDL3 toward the third data wiring DL3. That is, the third data output wiring DOPL3 may be configured in the second sub-area SB2, the third data bending wiring DBDL3 may be configured in the bending area BA, and the third data extension wiring DEXL3 may be configured in the first sub-area SB1 and the non-display area NDA.
[0237] As an example, the third data bending wiring DBDL3 may be disposed in the second source-drain conductive layer ANDE2 on the first planarization layer 125 or the third source-drain conductive layer on the second planarization layer 126 .
[0238] In addition, the third data output wiring DOPL3 and the third data extension wiring DEXL3 may be disposed in the first gate conductive layer GEDT, GE6 or the second gate conductive layer CAE covered by the interlayer insulating layer 124 .
[0239] Reference Fig.14 The third demultiplexing control signal CLC may be supplied in a third period CT after the second period BT in each of the image frame periods (n)-th_H and (n+1)-th_H.
[0240] Thus, the data signal of the third data wiring DL3 can be supplied to the third data supply wiring DSPL3 in the third period CT after the second period BT in each image frame period (n)-th_H, (n+1)-th_H through the third demultiplexing transistor DXT3 turned on according to the third demultiplexing control signal CLC.
[0241] Therefore, the display driving circuit 200 can output the data signal of the third data wiring DL3 to which the compensation value corresponding to the second extension length is applied in the third period CT based on the data control signal DCS of the timing control unit 500 .
[0242] The compensation value may be applied by increasing the voltage level of the data control signal DCS of the timing control unit 500 in accordance with the grayscale of the data signal or by extending the output period of the data signal.
[0243] Fig.15 It means that an embodiment involves Figure 8 Layout diagram of part C. Fig.16 Yes means Fig.15 The timing diagram of the first demultiplexing control signal, the second demultiplexing control signal, the third demultiplexing control signal and the fourth demultiplexing control signal is shown.
[0244] Reference Fig.15 The display device 100 according to the embodiment is similar to the display device 100 according to the embodiment except that the demultiplexing circuit DMC further includes a fourth demultiplexing transistor DXT4 and the data wiring DL of the circuit layer 120 further includes a fourth data wiring DL4. Fig.13 and Fig.14 The display device 100 of the embodiment shown is substantially the same, and thus repeated descriptions are omitted below.
[0245] According to an embodiment, the display area DA of the substrate 110 may further include a third separation area DSTA3 disposed between the second separation area DSTA2 and the non-display area NDA.
[0246] The second isolated area DSTA2 may be disposed between the first isolated area DSTA1 and the third isolated area DSTA3 .
[0247] The third spaced apart area DSTA3 may be disposed closer to the bent corner of the substrate 110 than the second spaced apart area DSTA2 .
[0248] According to an embodiment, the data wiring DL of the circuit layer 120 may further include a fourth data wiring DL4 disposed in the third isolated area DSTA3 .
[0249] Among the first, second, third, and fourth data wirings DL1, DL2, DL3, and DL4, the fourth data wiring DL4 may be disposed farthest from the sub-area SBA and closest to the non-display area NDA in the first direction DR1.
[0250] Thus, the transmission path of the third data wiring DL3 may be longer than the second extension length and shorter than the third extension length. In addition, the transmission path of the fourth data wiring DL4 may be longer than the third extension length.
[0251] According to an embodiment, in order to implement compensation for a transfer path shorter than the third extension length and compensation for a transfer path longer than the third extension length in different ways, the demultiplexing circuit DMC may further include a fourth demultiplexing control signal ( Fig.16 The fourth demultiplexing transistor DXT4 is turned on by CLD).
[0252] The third data wiring DL3 may be electrically connected to the display driving circuit 200 through the third demultiplexing transistor DXT3 of the demultiplexing circuit DMC and a transmission path that is greater than the second extension length and less than the third extension length.
[0253] The fourth data wiring DL4 may be electrically connected to the display driving circuit 200 via the fourth demultiplexing transistor DXT4 of the demultiplexing circuit DMC and a transmission path having a third extension length or more.
[0254] The transfer path of the fourth data wiring DL4 may include a fourth data supply wiring DSPL4 electrically connected between the fourth demultiplexing transistor DXT4 and the fourth data wiring DL4 among the data supply wiring DSPL.
[0255] As an example, the fourth data supply wiring DSPL4 may include a fourth data output wiring DOPL4 extending from the fourth demultiplexing transistor DXT4 of the demultiplexing circuit DMC toward the bending area BA, a fourth data bending wiring DBDL4 extending from the fourth data output wiring DOPL4 toward the first sub-area SB1, and a fourth data extension wiring DEXL4 extending from the fourth data bending wiring DBDL4 toward the fourth data wiring DL4. That is, the fourth data output wiring DOPL4 may be configured in the second sub-area SB2, the fourth data bending wiring DBDL4 may be configured in the bending area BA, and the fourth data extension wiring DEXL4 may be configured in the first sub-area SB1 and the non-display area NDA.
[0256] As an example, the fourth data bending wiring DBDL4 may be disposed in the second source-drain conductive layer ANDE2 on the first planarization layer 125 or the third source-drain conductive layer on the second planarization layer 126 .
[0257] In addition, the fourth data output wiring DOPL4 and the fourth data extension wiring DEXL4 may be disposed in the first gate conductive layer GEDT, GE6 or the second gate conductive layer CAE covered by the interlayer insulating layer 124 .
[0258] Reference Fig.16 The fourth demultiplexing control signal CLD may be supplied in a fourth period DT after the third period CT in each of the image frame periods (n)-th_H and (n+1)-th_H.
[0259] Thus, the data signal of the fourth data wiring DL4 can be transmitted to the fourth data supply wiring DSPL4 in the fourth period DT after the third period CT in each image frame period (n)-th_H, (n+1)-th_H through the fourth demultiplexing transistor DXT4 turned on according to the fourth demultiplexing control signal CLD.
[0260] Therefore, the display driving circuit 200 can output the data signal of the fourth data wiring DL4 to which the compensation value corresponding to the third extension length is applied in the fourth period DT based on the data control signal DCS of the timing control unit 500 .
[0261] The compensation value may be applied by increasing the voltage level of the data control signal DCS of the timing control unit 500 in accordance with the grayscale of the data signal or by extending the output period of the data signal.
[0262] On the other hand, as the number of data lines DL increases with higher resolution or larger size, the number of data supply lines DSPL arranged in the non-display area NDA also increases, so that the reduction in the width of the non-display area NDA may be limited.
[0263] The following other embodiments provide a display device 100 that can reduce the width of the non-display area NDA.
[0264] Fig.17 It means that other embodiments involve Figure 2 A plan view of the substrate. Fig.18 Yes means Fig.17 Layout diagram of Section D. Fig.19 Yes means Fig.18 Cross-sectional view of EE′.
[0265] Reference Fig.17 The display area DA of the substrate 110 of the display device 100 according to other embodiments includes a detour area DEA disposed on one side adjacent to the sub-area SBA and a general area GA disposed in the remaining area except the detour area DEA. Figure 8 The embodiments shown are substantially the same, and therefore repeated descriptions are omitted below.
[0266] According to other embodiments, the detour area DEA arranged on one side of the second direction DR2 adjacent to the sub-area SBA in the display area DA may include a central detour middle area MDDA arranged in the first direction DR1, and a first detour side area SDA1 and a second detour side area SDA2 arranged between the detour middle area MDDA and the non-display area NDA in the first direction DR1.
[0267] The first detour lateral area SDA1 may be connected to one side of the detour middle area MDDA, and may be arranged between the detour middle area MDDA and the second detour lateral area SDA2.
[0268] The second detour lateral area SDA2 may be connected to the non-display area NDA, and may be disposed between the first detour lateral area SDA1 and the non-display area NDA.
[0269] The second roundabout lateral area SDA2 may be disposed closer to the bent corner of the substrate 110 than the roundabout middle area MDDA and the first roundabout lateral area SDA1 .
[0270] The first and second detour lateral areas SDA1 and SDA2 may be disposed between each of both sides of the detour middle area MDDA in the first direction DR1 and the non-display area NDA.
[0271] In the display area DA, the general area GA arranged between the detour area DEA and the non-display area NDA in the second direction DR2 may include a general middle area GMA connected to the detour middle area MDDA of the detour area DEA in the second direction DR2, a first general side area GSA1 connected to the first detour side area SDA1 of the detour area DEA in the second direction DR2, and a second general side area GSA2 connected to the second detour side area SDA2 of the detour area DEA in the second direction DR2.
[0272] Reference Fig.18 In the display device 100 according to other embodiments, except that the second data wiring DL2 is electrically connected to the second data supply wiring DSPL2 through the first auxiliary detour wiring TASL1 and the second auxiliary detour wiring TASL2 arranged in the display area DA, Figures 1 to 12 The embodiments shown are substantially the same, and therefore repeated descriptions are omitted below.
[0273] According to other embodiments, the data wiring DL may include a first data wiring DL1 arranged in the first detour lateral area SDA1 and a second data wiring DL2 arranged in the second detour lateral area SDA2.
[0274] That is, among the first data wiring DL1 and the second data wiring DL2 , the first data wiring DL1 may be arranged closer to the sub-area SBA, and the second data wiring DL2 may be arranged closer to the non-display area NDA in the first direction DR1 .
[0275] According to other embodiments, the data supply wiring DSPL may extend toward the detour middle area MDDA and the first detour side area SDA1 adjacent to the sub-area SBA.
[0276] That is, among the data supply wirings DSPL, the first data supply wiring DSPL1 transmitting the data signal of the first data wiring DL1 arranged in the first detour lateral area SDA1 may extend toward the first detour lateral area SDA1 and be directly electrically connected to the first data wiring DL1 .
[0277] On the contrary, among the data supply wiring DSPL, the second data supply wiring DSPL2 that transmits the data signal of the second data wiring DL2 arranged in the second detour side area SDA2 may extend toward the first detour side area SDA1 instead of extending toward the second detour side area SDA2. In addition, the second data supply wiring DSPL2 may be electrically connected to the second data wiring DL2 through the first detour auxiliary wiring TASL1 and the second detour auxiliary wiring TASL2 arranged in the detour area DEA of the display area DA.
[0278] The first auxiliary bypass wiring TASL1 may be disposed in the bypass area DEA of the display area DA, extend in the first direction DR1 intersecting the data wiring DL, and be electrically connected to the second data wiring DL2.
[0279] The second auxiliary bypass wiring TASL2 may extend in the second direction DR2 in parallel with the data wiring DL, form a pair with the first data wiring DL1, and be electrically connected between the first auxiliary bypass wiring TASL1 and the second data supply wiring DSPL2.
[0280] Since the second auxiliary bypass wiring TASL2 is paired with the first data wiring DL1, it can be arranged in the first lateral bypass area SDA1 together with the first data wiring DL1. Thus, the second data supply wiring DSPL2 can extend toward the first lateral bypass area SDA1 and be electrically connected to the second auxiliary bypass wiring TASL2.
[0281] As described above, the second data supply wiring DSPL2 is not directly electrically connected to the second data wiring DL2, and therefore may not extend toward the second detour lateral area SDA2 adjacent to the bent corner of the substrate 110. Thus, the extension length of the second data supply wiring DSPL2 may be reduced, and thus the width of the non-display area NDA may be reduced.
[0282] Furthermore, the first data wiring DL1 may be electrically connected to the demultiplexing circuit DMC and the display driving circuit 200 through the first data supply wiring DSPL1. Thus, the transmission path of the data signal of the first data wiring DL1 may be shorter than the first extension length.
[0283] In other words, the first data wiring DL1 may be electrically connected to the display driving circuit 200 through the first demultiplexing transistor DXT1 of the demultiplexing circuit DMC and a transmission path smaller than the first extension length.
[0284] Different from this, the second data wiring DL2 can be electrically connected to the demultiplexing circuit DMC and the display driving circuit 200 through the first auxiliary detour wiring TASL1, the second auxiliary detour wiring TASL2 and the second data supply wiring DSPL2. Therefore, the transmission path of the data signal of the second data wiring DL2 can be longer than the first extension length.
[0285] That is, the second data wiring DL2 may be electrically connected to the display driving circuit 200 via the second demultiplexing transistor DXT2 of the demultiplexing circuit DMC and a transmission path having a first extension length or more.
[0286] The data wiring DL may further include a third data wiring DL3 disposed in the meandering middle area MDDA.
[0287] Among the data supply wirings DSPL, the third data supply wiring DSPL3 transmitting the data signal of the third data wiring DL3 may extend toward the detour middle area MDDA and be directly electrically connected to the third data wiring DL3.
[0288] like Fig.18 As shown, the third data supply wiring DSPL3 may be not connected to the demultiplexing circuit DMC but may be directly electrically connected to the display driving circuit 200. However, this is merely an example, and the third data supply wiring DSPL3 may also be electrically connected to the demultiplexing circuit DMC.
[0289] As an example, the third data wiring DL3 can be directly electrically connected to the third data supply wiring DSPL3, so it can be predicted that the transmission path of the data signal of the third data wiring DL3 is shorter than the first extension length. Therefore, the third data supply wiring DSPL3 can also be electrically connected to the display driving circuit 200 through the first demultiplexing transistor DXT1 of the demultiplexing circuit DMC like the first data supply wiring DSPL1.
[0290] On the other hand, according to other embodiments, the first detour auxiliary wiring TASL1 can be configured between the second data wiring DL2 and the second detour auxiliary wiring TASL2, and the second detour auxiliary wiring TASL2 can be configured between the first detour auxiliary wiring TASL1 and the second data supply wiring DSPL2 while being paired with the first data wiring DL1.
[0291] As described above, as the first and second auxiliary detour wirings TASL1 and TASL2 are limitedly arranged in the detour area DEA, the ends of the first and second auxiliary detour wirings TASL1 and TASL2 are arranged in a predetermined rule. Thus, the first and second auxiliary detour wirings TASL1 and TASL2 may be more recognizable.
[0292] In order to prevent the above situation, according to other embodiments, the circuit layer 120 may also include a plurality of second power auxiliary horizontal wirings VSAHL arranged in the general area GA and extending in the first direction DR1, and a plurality of second power auxiliary vertical wirings VSAVL respectively paired with the second data wiring DL2 and the third data wiring DL3 and extending in the second direction DR2, like the first bypass auxiliary wiring TASL1.
[0293] The second power supply assist horizontal wiring VSAHL and the second power supply assist vertical wiring VSAVL may be electrically connected to each other and to the second power supply wiring VSSPL.
[0294] Among the plurality of second power auxiliary horizontal wirings VSAHL, two second power auxiliary horizontal wirings VSAHL may extend from both ends of the first bypass auxiliary wiring TASL1 toward the non-display area NDA.
[0295] Among the plurality of second power auxiliary vertical wirings VSAVL, one second power auxiliary vertical wiring VSAVL may extend from one end of the second bypass auxiliary wiring TASL2 toward the non-display area NDA in a direction away from the sub-area SBA.
[0296] Reference Fig.19 , the data wiring DL and the second bypass auxiliary wiring TASL2 may be disposed on at least one insulating layer covering the first bypass auxiliary wiring TASL1.
[0297] As an example, the data wiring DL, the second detour auxiliary wiring TASL2, and the second power auxiliary vertical wiring VSAVL can be arranged in the third source-drain conductive layer on the first planarization layer 125 and covered by the second planarization layer 126. In addition, the first detour auxiliary wiring TASL1 and the second power auxiliary horizontal wiring VSAHL can be arranged in the first source-drain conductive layer ANDE1 on the interlayer insulating layer 124 covered by the first planarization layer 125.
[0298] The first detour auxiliary wiring TASL1 may be electrically connected to the second data wiring DL2 through the first detour connection hole TCH1 and to the second detour auxiliary wiring TASL2 through the second detour connection hole TCH2. The first detour connection hole TCH1 and the second detour connection hole TCH2 may respectively penetrate the first planarization layer 125.
[0299] As described above, according to other embodiments, the second data wiring DL2 can be electrically connected to the second data supply wiring DSPL2 through the first detour auxiliary wiring TASL1 and the second detour auxiliary wiring TASL2. Thus, the second data supply wiring DSPL2 extends toward the first detour lateral area SDA1, thereby reducing the extension length of the second data supply wiring DSPL2, and thus reducing the width of the non-display area NDA.
[0300] In addition, according to other embodiments, the first data supply wiring DSPL1 directly electrically connected to the first data wiring DL1 can be electrically connected to the first demultiplexing transistor DXT1 of the demultiplexing circuit DMC. Different from this, the second data supply wiring DSPL2 electrically connected to the second data wiring DL2 through the first detour auxiliary wiring TASL1 and the second detour auxiliary wiring TASL2 can be electrically connected to the second demultiplexing transistor DXT2 of the demultiplexing circuit DMC.
[0301] The first demultiplexing transistor DXT1 may be turned on according to the first demultiplexing control signal CLA supplied in the first period AT in each image frame period (n)-th_H, (n+1)-th_H. The second demultiplexing transistor DXT2 may be turned on according to the second demultiplexing control signal CLB supplied in the second period BT after the first period AT in each image frame period (n)-th_H, (n+1)-th_H.
[0302] Thus, the display driving circuit 200 can output the data signal of the first data wiring DL1 in the first period AT, and output the data signal of the second data wiring DL2 to which the compensation value corresponding to the first extension length is applied based on the data control signal DCS of the timing control unit 500 in the second period BT.
[0303] That is, even if the display driving circuit 200 does not include a compensation circuit associated with a relatively long extension path, the compensation value corresponding to the first extension length can be applied to the data signal of the second data wiring DL2 transmitted to the transmission path having a transmission length longer than the first extension length.
[0304] Thus, even without changing the display driving circuit 200, it is possible to prevent the display quality from being degraded due to distortion of data signals caused by a relatively long transmission path, thereby facilitating higher resolution and larger size without affecting the thinning of the display device and the reduction of manufacturing costs.
[0305] The embodiments of the present invention are described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but those skilled in the art should be able to understand that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical concept or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are illustrative in all aspects and are not restrictive.
