Display device

A display device comprising:

• a first signal line;
• a second signal line;
• a first signal pad connected to the first signal line;
• a second signal pad connected to the second signal line;
• and
• a pad insulating layer overlapping with the first signal line and the second signal line,
• wherein the first signal pad comprises:
• an intermediate conductive pattern overlapping with an end portion of the first signal line, the intermediate conductive pattern being connected to the end portion of the first signal line;
• and
• an upper conductive pattern on the intermediate conductive pattern, the upper conductive pattern being exposed through the pad insulating layer,
• wherein the intermediate conductive pattern comprises a first portion overlapping with the end portion of the first signal line, and a second portion between the end portion of the first signal line and an end portion of the second signal line, the second portion extending from the first portion, and
• wherein the upper conductive pattern is connected to the second portion of the intermediate conductive pattern.

A display device comprising:

• a base layer comprising a display area and a non-display area;
• a first switching transistor on the display area;
• a second switching transistor on the display area;
• a first signal line connected to the first switching transistor;
• a second signal line connected to the second switching transistor;
• a first signal pad connected to the first signal line;
• a second signal pad connected to the second signal line;
• and
• a pad insulating layer overlapping with the first switching transistor, the second switching transistor, the first signal line, and the second signal line,
• wherein each of the first signal pad and the second signal pad comprises:
• an intermediate conductive pattern overlapping with an end portion of a corresponding signal line from among the first signal line and the second signal line, the intermediate conductive pattern being electrically connected to the end portion of the corresponding signal line;
• and
• an upper conductive pattern on the intermediate conductive pattern, the upper conductive pattern being exposed through the pad insulating layer,
• wherein the pad insulating layer has a pad contact hole to expose a portion of the intermediate conductive pattern, the pad contact hole overlapping with the end portion of the corresponding signal line, and
• wherein the upper conductive pattern is connected to the intermediate conductive pattern through the pad contact hole, the upper conductive pattern being located within the pad contact hole in a plan view.
