1. An electroluminescent display comprising: a display panel including a plurality of pixel units electrically connected to a plurality of data lines and a plurality of gate lines, wherein the pixel units are arranged in a matrix of a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, wherein the pixel units in the same column are connected to the same data line, and wherein the pixel units in the same diagonal line of the matrix are connected to the same gate line;
a data driver located at a first side of the display panel, wherein the data driver is configured to drive the data lines; and a gate driver located at the first side of the display panel and configured to drive the gate lines; wherein the rows include m rows, wherein the columns include n columns where m is a positive integer and n is a positive integer greater than m, and wherein the pixel units in the (i)-th row and in the (j)-th column are electrically connected to the (i+j−1)-th gate line where i is a positive integer equal to or less than m, and j is a positive integer equal to or less than n; wherein the gate lines include an (n)-th gate line and an (m+n−1)-th gate line, wherein each of the first through (n)-th gate lines respectively includes a plurality of portions of a first diagonal gate line, wherein the first diagonal gate line is connected to the gate driver at the first side of the display panel and extends in a diagonal direction, and wherein each of the (n+1)-th gate line through the (m+n−1)-th gate line respectively includes i) a plurality of portions of a vertical gate line, wherein the vertical gate line is connected to the gate driver at the first side of the display panel and extends in a column direction and ii) a plurality of portions of a second diagonal line, wherein the second diagonal line is connected to the vertical gate line at a second side of the display panel and extends in the diagonal direction, and wherein the second side opposes the first side.
