Display device and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A display device and a method of manufacturing the display device are capable of substantially minimizing damage to a display panel. The display device includes: a first substrate including a display area and a pad area; a polarization film disposed at an upper surface of the first substrate to overlap the display area; a flexible printed circuit board disposed at a lower surface of the first substrate; a via hole defined through the first substrate at the pad area; and a connection metal located at the via hole. The connection metal includes a connection portion disposed in the via hole and a first protruding portion that protrudes with respect to the first substrate, and the polarization film is spaced apart from the via hole in a plan view.
