Abstract

A display device includes a substrate including a first pixel area and a second pixel area, wherein the second pixel area is located at a side of the first pixel area, first pixels located in the first pixel area and connected to first scan lines, and second pixels located in the second pixel area and connected to second scan lines, wherein the first pixels and the second pixels include pixel rows extending in a first direction, and at least one of the second scan lines is inclined with respect to the first direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device, comprising:
a substrate including a first pixel area, a second pixel area, a first peripheral area located outside the first pixel area, and a second peripheral area located outside the second pixel area, wherein the second pixel area is located at a side of the first pixel area;
first scan stages located in the first peripheral area, wherein output terminals of the first scan stages are connected to first scan lines;
first light emitting stages located in the first peripheral area and located at one side of the first scan stages;
second scan stages located in the second peripheral area, wherein output terminals of the second scan stages are connected to second scan lines;
second light emitting stages located in the second peripheral area and located at one side of the second scan stages;
first pixels located in the first pixel area, wherein input terminals of the first pixels are connected to the first scan lines; and
second pixels located in the second pixel area, wherein input terminals of the second pixels are connected to the second scan lines,
wherein the first pixels are included in a first group of pixel rows extending in a first direction,
wherein the second pixels are included in a second group of pixel rows extending in the first direction,
wherein the first group of pixels rows is different from the second group of pixel rows,
wherein a first one of the second scan lines connecting an output terminal of a first one of the second scan stages and an input terminal of a first one of the second pixels is inclined with respect to the first direction,
wherein a position of the output terminal of the first one of the second scan stages along a second direction crossing the first direction is different from a position of the input terminal of the first one of the second pixels along the second direction,
wherein a length of the first one of the second scan lines is greater than a length of each of the first scan lines,
wherein the first one of the second scan stages is inclined at an angle with respect to the first direction,
wherein a first one of the second light emitting stages is connected to the first one of the second pixels, and
wherein the first one of the second light emitting stages is inclined at the angle with respect to the first direction.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first scan lines extend from the output terminals of the first scan stages in parallel with the first direction.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second peripheral area has a curved shape.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a number of pixels provided in pixel rows arranged in the second pixel area is smaller than a number of pixels provided in pixel rows arranged in the first pixel area.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein pixel rows distant from the first pixel area, among the pixel rows arranged in the second pixel area, include a smaller number of pixels than pixel rows closer to the first pixel area, among the pixel rows arranged in the second pixel area.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second pixel area has a smaller area than the first pixel area and a corner portion of the second pixel area has a curved shape.
