Abstract
A display device includes: a liquid crystal layer between a first substrate and a second substrate; a contact region electrically connecting one of horizontal gate lines to one of vertical signal lines; a plurality of data lines; and a plurality of pixels including transistors that are electrically connected to the horizontal gate lines and the data lines, wherein: the plurality of pixels includes a kickback pixel defined as a pixel that is affected by a kickback voltage caused by the one vertical signal line, and a normal pixel defined as a pixel that is less affected by the kickback voltage caused by the one vertical signal line than the kickback pixel, and the liquid crystal layer in the kickback pixel having a first cell gap, and the liquid crystal layer in the normal pixel having a second cell gap greater than the second cell gap.
