Abstract

A display device includes a substrate having a through-hole. The display device also includes a display unit formed on the substrate and surrounding the through-hole, and the display unit is configured to display an image and includes pixels.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device, comprising:
a substrate having a through-hole;
a display area surrounding the through-hole and including a first pixel and a second pixel;
a first non-display area between the display area and the through-hole;
a first wire electrically connected to the first pixel; and
a second wire electrically connected to the second pixel,
wherein the first wire and the second wire cross each other in the first non-display area.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first wire and the second wire are curved in the first non-display area.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first wire is a first scan line, a second scan line, a third scan line, or an emission control line.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second wire is a data line, a driving power line, or an initialization power line.

5. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second non-display area surrounding the display area.

6. The display device of claim 5 , further comprising:
a driving circuit disposed in the second non-display area and electrically connected to at least one of the first wire and the second wire.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the substrate and the display area has a ring shape.

8. The display device of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the first non-display area and the second non-display area has a ring shape.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the through-hole includes a plurality of through-holes, and wherein the plurality of through-holes are separated from one another and surrounded by the display area.

10. A display device, comprising:
a substrate having a through-hole;
a display area surrounding the through-hole and including a pixel;
a first non-display area between the display area and the through-hole; and
a plurality of wire electrically connected to the pixel,
wherein one of the plurality of wires is straight in the display area and curved in the first non-display area.

11. The display device of claim 10 , further comprising:
a wire crossing the one of the plurality of wires in the first non-display area.

12. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the one of the plurality of wires is a first scan line, a second scan line, a third scan line, or an emission control line.

13. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the one of the plurality of wires is a data line, a driving power line, or an initialization power line.

14. The display device of claim 10 , further comprising:
a second non-display area surrounding the display area.

15. The display device of claim 14 , further comprising:
a driving circuit disposed in the second non-display area and electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of wires.

16. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the one of the plurality of wires comprises:
a first straight portion extending in a first direction in the display area; and
a second straight portion extending in a second direction crossing the first direction in the display area.

17. The display device of claim 16 , wherein the one of the plurality of wires further comprises:
a curved portion in the first non-display area, wherein the curved portion is disposed between the first straight portion and the second straight portion.

18. The display device of claim 10 , further comprising:
a driving circuit disposed in the display area and electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of wires.

19. The display device of claim 10 , wherein at least one of the substrate and the display area has a ring shape.

20. The display device of claim 14 , wherein at least one of the first non-display area and the second non-display area has a ring shape.
