Abstract

A display device includes a display area which includes a first display area including a plurality of first pixels and a second display area including at least one second pixel and at least one light-transmitting portion, a peripheral area disposed around the display area, a data line including a first portion and a second portion spaced apart from each other in a predetermined direction with the light-transmitting portion therebetween, and a conductive pattern disposed at a different conductive layer from the data line. The conductive pattern includes a first pattern portion including a bypass portion that bypasses a periphery of the second display area in a plan view and disposed in the first display area, and the first pattern portion includes a first end electrically connected to the first portion of the data line and a second end electrically connected to the second portion of the data line.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device comprising:
a display area including a first area including a plurality of first pixels and a second area which is surrounded by the first area and overlaps at least one sensor;
a peripheral area disposed around the display area;
a data line including a first portion and a second portion spaced apart from each other in a predetermined direction with a gap therebetween; and
a conductive line including a bypass portion disposed in the first area and bypassing a periphery of the second area in a plan view, wherein
the bypass portion includes a portion disposed at a different conductive layer from the data line, and
the conductive line includes a first end that is electrically connected to the first portion of the data line and a second end that is electrically connected to the second portion of the data line.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein
the peripheral area includes a first peripheral area and a second peripheral area opposing each other with the display area between the first peripheral area and the second peripheral area, and
the second portion of the data line extends to the second peripheral area and contacts the second end of the conductive line in the second peripheral area.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein
the first portion of the data line extends to the first peripheral area and contacts the first end of the conductive line in the first peripheral area.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein
the first portion of the data line contacts the first end of the conductive line in the display area,
the second portion of the data line contacts the second end of the conductive line in the display area, and
the first end and the second end oppose each other with the second area between the first end and the second end.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein
the portion of the bypass portion disposed at the different conductive layer from the data line extends in a different direction of an extension direction of the data line.

6. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising
a plurality of first voltage lines which transmits a first voltage,
wherein the conductive line includes a first vertical portion that overlaps the first voltage line in the plan view and extends along the first voltage line.

7. The display device of claim 6 , further comprising:
a conductive pattern disposed in the first area and spaced apart from the conductive line.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein
the conductive pattern includes a second vertical portion that overlaps the first voltage line in the plan view and extends along the first voltage line.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein
the conductive line further includes a first horizontal portion that extends from the first vertical portion in a different direction from the first vertical portion, and
the conductive pattern further includes a second horizontal portion that extends from the second vertical portion in a different direction from the second vertical portion.

10. The display device of claim 9 , further comprising
a plurality of second voltage lines which crosses the first voltage line and transmits a second voltage,
wherein the first horizontal portion and the second horizontal portion overlap the second voltage line in the plan view and extend along the second voltage line.

11. The display device of claim 7 , wherein
the conductive pattern has a mesh shape.

12. The display device of claim 7 , wherein
the conductive pattern receives a constant voltage.

13. The display device of claim 1 , wherein
a length of the conductive line in the predetermined direction is shorter than a length of the display area in the predetermined direction.
