[0078] In the following, a display device according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals are used for substantially the same components in the drawings, and redundant descriptions of substantially the same components will not be provided.
[0079] Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the (described)” as used herein are intended to include the plural forms as well. Furthermore, the use of “may” in describing embodiments of this disclosure refers to “one or more embodiments of this disclosure.”
[0080] In the context of this disclosure and unless otherwise defined, the term “use (use, using, and used)” may be considered synonymous with the term “utilize (utilizing, utilizing, and utilized)”, respectively.
[0081] It will be understood that although the terms “first,” “second,” and / or “third,” etc., may be used herein to describe one or more elements, components, areas, layers, and / or portions, these elements, components, areas, layers, and / or portions should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used to distinguish one element, component, area, layer, or portion from another element, component, area, layer, or portion. Therefore, without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure, the first element, component, area, layer, or portion described below may be referred to as the second element, component, area, layer, or portion.
[0082] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “below,” “above,” and “above” are used herein to describe the relationship between one element or feature as shown in the figures and another (or more) elements or features. It will be understood that, in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures, the spatial relative terms are also intended to cover different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figures is flipped, an element described as “below” or “below” or “below” other elements or features will be oriented “above” other elements or features. Thus, the example terms “below” and “below” can cover both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented in other ways (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or otherwise), and the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein should be interpreted accordingly.
[0083] It will be understood that if an element or layer is referred to as being "on" another element or layer, "connected to," or "coupled to" another element or layer (e.g., when an element or layer is referred to as being "on" another element or layer, "connected to," or "coupled to" another element or layer), the element or layer may be directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to the other element or layer, or one or more intermediary elements or layers may be present. Additionally, it will be understood that if an element or layer is referred to as being "between" two elements or layers (e.g., when an element or layer is referred to as being "between" two elements or layers), the element or layer may be the only element or layer between the two elements or layers, or one or more intermediary elements or layers may be present.
[0084] Throughout this specification, the terms “comprising” or “having” are intended to indicate the presence of the stated features, integrals, steps, operations, constituent elements, components, and / or combinations thereof (e.g., any suitable combinations thereof), but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, constituent elements, components, and / or groups thereof. Therefore, unless expressly stated otherwise, the terms “comprising” and variations such as “including” or “containing” will be understood to imply the inclusion of the stated elements, but do not exclude any other suitable elements.
[0085] As used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Expressions such as “at least one of…” modify the entire column of elements when they precede or follow the column of elements, rather than modifying individual elements of the column.
[0086] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) shall have substantially the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. It will be further understood that, unless expressly defined herein, terms (such as those defined in general dictionaries) shall be interpreted as having the same meaning as they have in the relevant field and / or the context of this specification, and shall not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense.

For example, a first pixel region PX1 and / or a second pixel region PX2 can be arranged (or provided) in the display area DA. Each of the first pixel region PX1 and the second pixel region PX2 can be a source of light emanating from a light-emitting element (e.g., Figure 3 The light emitted by the light-emitting element (LED) is emitted to the area outside the display device DD.
[0090] For example, the first pixel region PX1 may be where the light-emitting unit (e.g., Figure 2 The first light-emitting unit 200) and / or the second light-emitting unit (e.g., Figure 2 The light emitted by the second light-emitting unit 300 is emitted to an area outside the display device DD. For example, the second pixel area PX2 may be a region in which light emitted from the third light-emitting unit (e.g., Figure 2The third light-emitting unit 400) and / or the fourth light-emitting unit (e.g., Figure 2 The light emitted by the fourth light-emitting unit 500 is emitted to the area outside the display device DD.
[0091] Multiple pixel regions may be arranged (or provided) repeatedly along a first direction DR1 and / or a second direction DR2 intersecting the first direction DR1. For example, a second pixel region PX2 may be separated from and / or separated from the first pixel region PX1 in a planar view (e.g., spaced apart or separated). For example, the second pixel region PX2 may be separated from and / or separated from the first pixel region PX1 in the first direction DR1 (e.g., spaced apart or separated).
[0092] A non-display area NDA may be arranged (or provided) around (e.g., surrounding) the display area DA. For example, the non-display area NDA may be around (e.g., surrounding) at least a portion of the display area DA. A driver may be arranged (or provided) in the non-display area NDA. The driver may provide signals and / or voltages to multiple pixel areas. For example, the driver may include data drivers and / or gate drivers, etc. The non-display area NDA may not display an image.
[0093] In one or more embodiments, a first direction DR1 and a second direction DR2 intersecting the first direction DR1 may be defined. For example, the second direction DR2 may be orthogonal to the first direction DR1 (e.g., substantially perpendicular). However, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and the second direction DR2 may form (or provide) an acute or obtuse angle with the first direction DR1. Additionally, a third direction DR3 intersecting the plane formed (or provided) by the first direction DR1 and / or the second direction DR2 may be defined. For example, the third direction DR3 may be orthogonal to (e.g., substantially perpendicular) the plane formed (or provided) by the first direction DR1 and / or the second direction DR2. However, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and the third direction DR3 may form (or provide) an acute or obtuse angle with the plane formed (or provided) by the first direction DR1 and / or the second direction DR2.
