Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes a display panel in which a display region and a pad region are defined. The display panel includes a base substrate, pixels disposed on the base substrate and disposed in the display region, a pad disposed on the base substrate, disposed in the pad region, and including a first surface and second surfaces connected to the first surface, and a protective layer which covers the pad and in which an opening exposing a first upper surface portion of the first surface of the pad is defined. A first thickness of a first portion of the protective layer covering a second upper surface portion of the first surface of the pad adjacent to the first upper surface portion of the first surface of the pad may be greater than a second thickness of a second portion of the protective layer covering second surfaces of the pad.
