Organic light emitting diode display device and method for manufacturing the same

A display device comprising:

• a substrate defined with a display area having pixels to display images and a non-display area having a gate-in-panel (GIP) area and a ground contact area to supply signals to the display area;
• a plurality of transistors on the display area and the GIP area of the non-display area;
• a planarization film on the plurality of transistors;
• a plurality of anode patterns, on the planarization film, connected to the transistors within the display area;
• a first electrode, on the planarization film, having a plurality of out gassing holes on the GIP area;
• an opening between the anode patterns within the display area and the first electrode within the non-display area;
• and
• a cathode electrode of the display area connected to the first electrode on the GIP area,
• wherein at least one portion of the opening is within the GIP region,
• wherein at least one among the out gassing holes and the opening exposes a portion of the planarization film,
