Abstract

A display device includes a substrate, a plurality of pixels provided in a display region of the substrate, a plurality of signal lines arrayed alongside each other in a first direction and extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, a plurality of scanning lines extending in a direction intersecting the signal lines, and a scanning line drive circuit disposed in a peripheral region between an end part of the substrate and the display region and including a plurality of switching elements coupled to the scanning lines. The scanning lines include at least two or more scanning lines having different lengths, and the switching elements have longer channel widths as the scanning lines electrically coupled to the switching elements have longer lengths.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device comprising:
a substrate;
a plurality of pixels provided in a display region of the substrate;
a plurality of signal lines arrayed alongside each other in a first direction and extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction;
a plurality of scanning lines extending in a direction intersecting the signal lines; and
a scanning line drive circuit disposed in a peripheral region between an end part of the substrate and the display region and including a plurality of switching elements coupled to the scanning lines,
wherein
the scanning lines include at least two or more scanning lines having different lengths,
the switching elements have longer channel widths as the scanning lines electrically coupled to the switching elements have longer lengths,
an outer periphery of the display region includes a first side extending in the second direction, and a first tilted side coupled to one end side of the first side and tilted in the second direction,
the lengths of the scanning lines provided in a region corresponding to the first tilted side are shorter than the lengths of the scanning lines provided in a region corresponding to the first side, and
the channel widths of the switching elements arrayed along the first tilted side are shorter than the channel widths of the switching elements arrayed along the first side.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the lengths of the scanning lines provided in the region corresponding to the first tilted side decrease as separation from the first side in a direction along the first tilted side increases, and
the channel widths of the switching elements arrayed along the first tilted side decrease as separation from the first side increases.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the outer periphery of the display region includes a second tilted side coupled to the other end side of the first side and tilted in the second direction, and
the channel widths of the switching elements arrayed along the second tilted side are shorter than the channel widths of the switching elements arrayed along the first side.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the channel widths of the switching elements arrayed along the second tilted side are equal to the channel widths of the switching elements arrayed along the first tilted side.

5. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein
the distance between the second tilted side and the switching elements arrayed along the second tilted side is longer than the distance between the first tilted side and the switching elements arrayed along the first tilted side, and
the channel widths of the switching elements arrayed along the second tilted side are longer than the channel widths of the switching elements arrayed along the first tilted side.

6. The display device according to claim 5 , further comprising:
a signal line coupling circuit disposed in the peripheral region and electrically coupled to the signal lines;
a driver IC disposed in the peripheral region and configured to control the scanning line drive circuit and the signal line coupling circuit; and
a plurality of coupling wires coupling the signal lines provided in the display region to the signal line coupling circuit, wherein
the coupling wires extend in a direction along the second tilted side between the second tilted side and the switching elements arrayed along the second tilted side.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the switching elements arrayed along the first side have a channel width direction orthogonal to the first side, and
the switching elements arrayed along the first tilted side have a channel width direction orthogonal to the first tilted side.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the switching elements include a first switching element, a second switching element, and a third switching element that are electrically coupled to one of the scanning lines,
the first switching element, the second switching element, and the third switching element each include a semiconductor layer, a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a gate electrode,
the source electrode, the drain electrode, and the gate electrode extend in a direction intersecting a side of the outer periphery of the display region, and
the gate electrode is provided over the semiconductor layer and disposed between the source electrode and the drain electrode in a direction along the side of the outer periphery of the display region.
