[0043] It will also be understood that the terms "comprises / include" and / or "comprising / including" as used herein specify the presence of stated features or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features or components.
[0044] It will be understood that when a layer, region, or component is referred to as being "formed on" another layer, region, or component, the layer, region, or component may be directly or indirectly formed on the other layer, region, or component. That is, for example, there may be an intermediate layer, region, or component.

[0049] Figure 1 is a plan view of an embodiment of the display device 1.
[0050] Referring to Figure 1 , the display device 1 includes a display unit 10, a first scan driver 20 and a second scan driver 30, a data driver 40, a terminal unit 50, a driving voltage supply line 60, a common voltage supply line 70, and a switching unit 80 disposed above a substrate 100.
[0051] The substrate 100 may include a material such as glass, metal or an organic material, and the glass includes SiO2 as a main component. In an embodiment, the substrate 100 may include a flexible material. In an embodiment, although the substrate 100 may include a flexible plastic material such as polyimide, the present invention is not limited thereto. In another embodiment, for example, the plastic material may include at least one of polyethersulfone ("PES"), polyarylate ("PAR"), polyetherimide ("PEI"), polyethylene naphthalate ("PEN"), polyethylene terephthalate ("PET"), polyphenylene sulfide ("PPS"), polyaryl compound, polyimide ("PI"), polycarbonate ("PC"), triacetyl cellulose ("TAC"), cellulose acetate propionate ("CAP"), cyclic olefin polymer and cyclic olefin copolymer.
[0052] The display unit 10 includes pixels PX, and the pixels PX are connected to scan lines SL extending in a first direction, data lines DL extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and a driving voltage line PL. Each of the pixels PX in the pixels PX may emit, for example, red light, green light, blue light or white light, and includes, for example, an organic light emitting diode. The display unit 10 provides a predetermined image by the light emitted from the pixels PX. A display area DA is defined by the pixels PX. In the specification, a non-display area NDA is an area where the pixels PX are not arranged and represents an area where no image is provided.
[0053] Although the display unit 10 has an approximately quadrilateral shape, in various embodiments, the display unit 10 may be provided in various shapes such as a polygonal shape, a circular shape, an oval shape, or a shape corresponding to a part of these shapes. In the illustrated embodiment, the display unit 10 has a quadrilateral shape as a whole and may include a rounded corner portion 10C in which each edge is curved. The substrate 100 provided above the display unit 10 may have a curved edge in at least a part of the outer edge region.
[0054] The first scan driver 20 and the second scan driver 30 are disposed in the non-display area NDA of the substrate 100, generate scan signals, and transmit the scan signals to each pixel PX through the scan lines SL. In an embodiment, the first scan driver 20 may be disposed on the left side of the display unit 10, and the second scan driver 30 may be disposed on the right side of the display unit 10.
[0055] The data driver 40 is disposed in the non-display area NDA of the substrate 100, generates data signals, and transmits the data signals to each pixel PX through the data lines DL. The data driver 40 may be disposed on one side of the display unit 10. For example, it may be disposed on the lower side of the display unit 10, where the terminal unit 50 is disposed below the display unit 10.
[0056] The terminal unit 50 is disposed at one end of the substrate 100 and includes a plurality of terminals 51, 52, 53, and 54. The terminal unit 50 is not covered by an insulating layer and is exposed, and may be electrically connected to a controller (not shown) such as a flexible printed circuit board or an integrated circuit (“IC”) chip. The controller changes a plurality of video signals transmitted from the outside into a plurality of video data signals, and transmits the changed video signals to the data driver 40 through the terminal 51. In addition, the controller may receive a vertical synchronization signal, a horizontal synchronization signal, and a clock signal, generate control signals for controlling the driving of the first scan driver 20, the second scan driver 30, and the data driver 40, and transmit the relevant control signals to the relevant components. The controller transmits the driving voltage ELVDD and the common voltage ELVSS to the driving voltage supply line 60 and the common voltage supply line 70 through the terminals 52 and 54, respectively.
[0057] The driving voltage supply line 60 is disposed in the non-display area NDA. In an embodiment, for example, the driving voltage supply line 60 may be disposed between the data driver 40 and the display unit 10. The driving voltage supply line 60 supplies the driving voltage ELVDD to the pixel PX. The driving voltage supply line 60 may extend in a first direction and may be connected to a plurality of driving voltage lines PL1 disposed in the first direction.
[0058] The common voltage supply line 70 is disposed in the non-display area NDA and supplies the common voltage ELVSS to the opposite electrode 223 of the organic light-emitting diode of the pixel PX (see Figure 3 ). In an embodiment, for example, the common voltage supply line 70 is provided as a loop having an opening defined on one side, and may extend along an edge of the substrate 100 except for the terminal unit 50.
[0059] The display unit 10 has an approximately quadrilateral shape and includes rounded corner portions 10C. The rounded corner portions 10C may be defined at each of the four edges of the display unit 10 and may be a part of a circle formed with a constant curvature.
[0060] The display unit 10 may be defined as a first display area DA1 and a second display area DA2 including the rounded corner portions 10C. The second display area DA2 may be disposed in a first direction, and the first display area DA1 is centered between the second display areas DA2. A plurality of first driving voltage lines PL1 are arranged such that the driving voltage ELVDD is supplied to the pixels PX of the first display area DA1, and a plurality of second driving voltage lines PL2 are arranged such that the driving voltage ELVDD is supplied to the pixels PX of the second display area DA2.
[0061] The lengths of the plurality of first driving voltage lines PL1 and the plurality of second driving voltage lines PL2 intercepted in the second direction may be different from each other. That is, the length of the plurality of first driving voltage lines PL1 in the second direction may be greater than the length of the plurality of second driving voltage lines PL2 in the second direction. This is because the plurality of first driving voltage lines PL1 extend into the non-display area NDA, but the plurality of second driving voltage lines PL2 do not extend into the non-display area NDA and are only arranged inside the second display area DA2.
[0062] The switching unit 80 is disposed in the non-display area NDA between the data driver 40 and the display unit 10, demultiplexes the data signal, and supplies the demultiplexed data signal to the plurality of data lines DL. The driving voltage supply line 60 may be disposed between the switching unit 80 and the data driver 40.

[0064] Referring to Figure 2, each pixel PX includes a pixel circuit PC connected to a scan line SL and a data line DL, and a light-emitting diode connected to the pixel circuit PC, for example, an organic light-emitting diode OLED.
[0065] The pixel circuit PC includes a driving thin-film transistor (“TFT”) T1, a switching TFT T2, and a storage capacitor Cst. The switching TFT T2 is connected to the scan line SL and the data line DL, and transmits a data signal Dm input through the data line DL to the driving TFT T1 in response to a scan signal Sn input through the scan line SL.
[0066] The storage capacitor Cst is connected to the switching TFT T2 and a driving voltage line PL, and stores a voltage corresponding to the difference between the voltage transmitted from the switching TFT T2 and the driving voltage ELVDD supplied to the driving voltage line PL.
[0067] The driving TFT T1 is connected to the driving voltage line PL and the storage capacitor Cst, and can control the driving current flowing through the organic light-emitting diode OLED from the driving voltage line PL in response to the voltage value stored in the storage capacitor Cst. The organic light-emitting diode OLED can emit light with a predetermined brightness through the driving current.

[0087] Referring to Figure 4 , the storage capacitor Cst of the pixel circuit PC may be disposed so as not to overlap with the driving TFT T1. The description of the pixel PX identical to that of Figure 3 is omitted, and the differences will be mainly described below.
[0088] The first electrode CE1 of the storage capacitor Cst may be disposed in the same layer as the layer in which the gate electrodes G1 and G2 are disposed and may include the same material as the gate electrodes G1 and G2.

[0096] The gate electrode of the compensation TFT T3 may be connected to the first scan line SLn. The source electrode of the compensation TFT T3 may be connected to the drain electrode of the driving TFT T1 and at the same time connected to the pixel electrode of the organic light emitting diode OLED through the second emission control TFT T6. The drain electrode of the compensation TFT T3 may be connected to one of the electrodes of the storage capacitor Cst, the source electrode of the first initialization TFT T4, and the gate electrode of the driving TFT T1 at the same time.

The drain electrode of the first initialization TFT T4 can be connected to the initialization voltage line VL. The source electrode of the first initialization TFT T4 can be simultaneously connected to one of the electrodes of the storage capacitor Cst, the drain electrode of the compensation TFT T3, and the gate electrode of the driving TFT T1. The first initialization TFT T4 can perform such an initialization operation: turn on in response to the second scan signal Sn-1 transmitted through the second scan line SLn-1 and initialize the voltage of the gate electrode of the driving TFT T1 by transmitting the initialization voltage VINT to the gate electrode of the driving TFT T1.

[0103] Figure 6 Is Figure 1 A plan view of part A of, and Figure 7 Is Figure 6 An enlarged view of a part of. Figure 6 And Figure 7 Are enlarged and show Figure 1 The rounded corner portion 10C of the display unit 10 of and its periphery.
[0104] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 6 And Figure 7 , the display device 1 in the embodiment includes a display unit 10 with rounded edges. The display unit 10 includes a first display area DA1 and a second display area DA2. Each of the first display area DA1 and the second display area DA2 includes an array of a plurality of pixels PX and extends in a second direction. The second display area DA2 includes a rounded corner portion 10C, and the first display area DA1 is arranged between the second display areas DA2.
[0105] Since the pixels PX arranged in the rounded corner portion 10C are substantially arranged in a stepped manner, the boundary between the first display area DA1 and the second display area DA2 can be the portion where the first stepped arrangement of the pixels PX starts. Therefore, the first display area DA1 includes a straight pixel arrangement over the entire area, and the second display area DA2 includes a stepped pixel arrangement at the rounded corner portion 10C.
[0106] The driving voltage supply line 60 and the switch unit 80 can be provided in the non-display area NDA on one side of the display unit 10. Although in the embodiment the switch unit 80 is shown to be arranged between the driving voltage supply line 60 and the display unit 10, in another embodiment, as shown in Figure 9 , the first driving voltage supply line 61 and the second driving voltage supply line 62 can be arranged such that the switch unit 80 is between the first driving voltage supply line 61 and the second driving voltage supply line 62, which will be described in detail with reference to Figure 8 And Figure 9 This will be described in detail below.
[0107] The switch unit 80 includes a plurality of demultiplexers DMX that demultiplex data signals and supply the demultiplexed data signals to a plurality of data lines DL. Although not shown, each of the plurality of demultiplexers DMX may include a control TFT and a switch TFT. Although in Figure 7The demultiplexer DMX is shown connected to two data lines DL, but the demultiplexer DMX can be connected to three or more data lines DL.
[0108] The demultiplexer DMX is connected to the data driver 40 through the multiplexed data line MDL. The data driver 40 generates a multiplexed data signal under the control of a controller (not shown) and supplies the generated multiplexed data signal to the multiplexed data line MDL. That is, through the demultiplexer DMX, the data driver 40 can supply a signal to two or more data lines DL through one multiplexed data line MDL. Through this, the number of output lines connected to the data driver 40 can be effectively reduced at high resolution.
[0109] The switch unit 80 includes a first switch unit 81 and a second switch unit 82 separated near the boundary between the first display area DA1 and the second display area DA2. The first switch unit 81 can correspond to the first display area DA1, and the second switch unit 82 can correspond to the second display area DA2.
[0110] The first switch unit 81 and the second switch unit 82 can respectively include a plurality of first demultiplexers DMX1 and a plurality of second demultiplexers DMX2. In the illustrated embodiment, the plurality of first demultiplexers DMX1 are arranged at a first pitch P1, and the plurality of second demultiplexers DMX2 are arranged at a second pitch P2. In this case, the second pitch P2 can be smaller than the first pitch P1.
[0111] A plurality of first driving voltage lines PL1 are provided in the first display area DA1, the plurality of first driving voltage lines PL1 are arranged in a first direction and extend in a second direction, and supply a driving voltage to a plurality of first pixels PX1. A plurality of second driving voltage lines PL2 are provided in the second display area DA2, the plurality of second driving voltage lines PL2 are arranged in a first direction and extend in a second direction, and supply a driving voltage to a plurality of second pixels PX2. The plurality of first driving voltage lines PL1 are connected to the driving voltage supply line 60 through the first switch unit 81. In contrast, the plurality of second driving voltage lines PL2 are not connected to the driving voltage supply line 60. That is, the plurality of first driving voltage lines PL1 extend to the area between the first display area DA1 and the driving voltage supply line 60 and are connected to the driving voltage supply line 60. In contrast, the plurality of second driving voltage lines PL2 do not extend to the area between the second display area DA2 and the driving voltage supply line 60 and are thus disconnected from the driving voltage supply line 60.
[0112] All of the plurality of pixels PX arranged in the display unit 10 are connected to data lines DL arranged in a first direction and extending in a second direction and driving voltage lines PL. The data lines DL and the driving voltage lines PL extend from the display area DA to the non-display area NDA and are electrically connected to a controller (not shown). In this case, compared with a first display area DA1 in which the outer edge of the display unit 10 is set in a straight line, a second display area DA2 in which the outer edge of the display unit 10 is set in a rounded shape includes a limited space of the non-display area NDA where the data lines DL and the driving voltage lines PL are connected to all the pixels PX in the second display area DA2. When high resolution is achieved and the curvature of the rounded corner portion 10C becomes small, this space is further limited.
[0113] Therefore, in the display device 1 in the embodiment, a plurality of second driving voltage lines PL2 arranged in the second display area DA2 do not extend to the area between the second display area DA2 and the driving voltage supply line 60 and are disconnected from the driving voltage supply line 60. With this configuration, a space where the data lines DL are arranged in the area between the second display area DA2 and the driving voltage supply line 60 can be effectively ensured.
[0114] Figure 8 is a plan view of an embodiment of the pixel structure.
[0115] Referring to Figure 8 and Figure 6 , all of the data lines DL and a plurality of first driving voltage lines PL1 connected to the first pixel PX1 in the first display area DA1 extend to the non-display area NDA. In contrast, the data lines DL connected to the second pixel PX2 in the second display area DA2 extend to the non-display area NDA, but a plurality of second driving voltage lines PL2 do not extend to the non-display area NDA and are disconnected from the outer edge of the second display area DA2.
[0116] As described above, since a plurality of second driving voltage lines PL2 do not extend to the non-display area NDA, the plurality of second driving voltage lines PL2 are not directly connected to the driving voltage supply line 60 arranged in the non-display area NDA. Therefore, the plurality of second driving voltage lines PL2 can be electrically connected to each other through a plurality of connection lines CL extending in the first direction to receive a driving voltage. The plurality of connection lines CL can cross the plurality of first driving voltage lines PL1 and the plurality of second driving voltage lines PL2 to form a grid shape. The plurality of second driving voltage lines PL2 can supply the driving voltage ELVDD to the pixels PX2 arranged in the second display area DA2 through the plurality of connection lines CL. The first pixel PX1 and the second pixel PX2 arranged in the same row can be connected through the same connection line CL.
[0117] Multiple connection lines CL can be electrically connected through contact holes CNT defined in an insulating layer (not shown), and the insulating layer is disposed between multiple second driving voltage lines PL2 and multiple connection lines CL. In an embodiment, multiple connection lines CL can be disposed in the same layer as the second electrode CE2 of the storage capacitor Cst in which Figure 3 is disposed, and multiple second driving voltage lines PL2 can be disposed in the same layer as the data line DL in which Figure 3 is disposed. Therefore, with this structure, the driving voltage ELVDD supplied to the driving voltage line PL provided in the display area DA can include a grid path.

The first driving voltage supply line 61 and the second driving voltage supply line 62 can be disposed in a second direction, and multiple connection lines 63 can be disposed in a first direction intersecting the second direction.
[0120] The first driving voltage supply line 61 can be directly connected to the first driving voltage line PL1 extending from the first display area DA1, and the second driving voltage supply line 62 can be directly connected to the terminal 52 (refer to Figure 1 ). With this dual wiring structure, the resistance of the wiring itself can be reduced, and thus, the driving voltage ELVDD can be effectively supplied to the display area DA at a high resolution.
[0121] A switch unit 80 is disposed between the first driving voltage supply line 61 and the second driving voltage supply line 62. Similar to the previous embodiment, the switch unit 80 includes a first switch unit 81 and a second switch unit 82 separated near the boundary between the first display area DA1 and the second display area DA2. The first switch unit 81 corresponds to the first display area DA1, and the second switch unit 82 corresponds to the second display area DA2.
[0122] The first switching unit 81 and the second switching unit 82 may respectively include a plurality of first demultiplexers DMX1 and a plurality of second demultiplexers DMX2. In the illustrated embodiment, the plurality of first demultiplexers DMX1 are arranged at a first pitch P1, and the plurality of second demultiplexers DMX2 are arranged at a second pitch P2. In this case, the second pitch P2 may be smaller than the first pitch P1. Referring to Figure 10 , the connection line 63 may be provided between the plurality of first demultiplexers DMX1.
[0123] Figure 11 is a plan view of the display device 2 according to another embodiment. Figure 11 The display device 2 of Figure 1 differs from the display device 1 of
[0124] in the shape of the display unit 10. Therefore, repeated descriptions are omitted, and the differences are mainly described below. Figure 11 , the display device 2 according to the illustrated embodiment may include a display unit 10 having various shapes. The display unit 10 may include a recessed portion 10R that is indented inwardly on one side of the display unit 10. A through portion TH may be provided in the non-display area NDA where the recessed portion 10R is provided. In an embodiment, for example, the through portion TH is a hole passing through the display device 2. Various electronic components such as a camera, a sensor, a speaker, a microphone, etc. may be provided (e.g., mounted) on the through portion TH. In an alternative embodiment, the through portion TH may include a space for a separate component for the function of the display device 2 or a separate component that can add a new function to the display device 2.
[0125] Figure 12 is a plan view of another embodiment of the display device 3. Figure 12 The display device 3 of Figure 1 differs from the display device 1 of
[0126] in the structure of the driving voltage supply line. Therefore, repeated descriptions are omitted, and the differences are mainly described below. Figure 12 , the display device 3 in the illustrated embodiment may include a first driving voltage supply line 61 on one side of the display unit 10 and a second driving voltage supply line 62 on the other side of the display unit 10. One side of the first driving voltage line PL1 provided in the first display area DA1 may be connected to the first driving voltage supply line 61 in the second direction, and the other side of the first driving voltage line PL1 may be connected to the second driving voltage supply line 62 in the second direction.
[0127] The second driving voltage line PL2 disposed in the second display area DA2 does not extend toward the first driving voltage supply line 61 and the second driving voltage supply line 62, and is not connected to the first driving voltage supply line 61 and the second driving voltage supply line 62 in the second direction. The second driving voltage line PL2 is not directly connected to the first driving voltage supply line 61 and the second driving voltage supply line 62 in the second direction. The second driving voltage line PL2 is removed in the non-display area NDA between the second display area DA2 and the first driving voltage supply line 61 and in the non-display area NDA between the second display area DA2 and the second driving voltage supply line 62. Thus, in the non-display area NDA, the second driving voltage line PL2 is disconnected from the first driving voltage supply line 61 and the second driving voltage supply line 62. As described above, the second driving voltage line PL2 can receive a driving voltage by being electrically connected to a plurality of connection lines CL (refer to Figure 8 ) and having a mesh shape.

The edge of the substrate 100 adjacent to the second display area DA2 can be provided in a rounded shape corresponding to the shape of the rounded corner portion 10C.
[0130] The first driving circuit area DCA1 can be provided in the non-display area NDA adjacent to the second display area DA2 along the first direction.

Additionally, the second fan-out area FOA2 may be provided between the second display area DA2 and the second switching area SWA2. The multiplexed data lines MDL (refer to Figure 7 ) may be arranged in the first fan-out area FOA1. The data lines DL (refer to Figure 7 ) may be arranged in the second fan-out area FOA2.
[0134] Refer to Figure 13 and Figure 7 (or Figure 9 ), compared with the first display area DA1 in which the outer edge of the display unit 10 is set in a straight line, the second display area DA2 in which the outer edge of the display unit 10 is set in a rounded shape includes a limited space of the non-display area NDA where the data lines DL and the driving voltage lines PL are connected to all the pixels PX in the second display area DA2, that is, the second fan-out area FOA2.
