Display device having gate driving circuit stages located between pixels in the display area

A display device, comprising:

• a substrate comprising a display area;
• pixels at the display area;
• gate lines at the display area, and connected to the pixels;
• carry clock lines and scan clock lines at the display area;
• and
• a gate driving circuit distributedly located at the display area, and connected to the carry clock lines, the scan clock lines, and the gate lines,
• wherein the gate driving circuit comprises a plurality of stages, each of the stages being configured to output, as a carry signal, a carry clock signal supplied through a corresponding carry clock line from among the carry clock lines in response to a preceding carry signal supplied from a preceding stage, and to output to a corresponding gate line from among the gate lines, as a scan signal, a scan clock signal supplied through a corresponding scan clock line from among the scan clock lines,
• wherein the gate driving circuit further comprises a dummy stage,
• wherein each of the stages is configured to be initialized in response to a subsequent carry signal supplied from a subsequent stage, and the subsequent stage is configured to shift the carry signal to output the subsequent carry signal,
• wherein a last stage from among the stages is configured to receive the subsequent carry signal from the dummy stage, and
• wherein the dummy stage is spaced farther from an edge of the display area compared to the last stage.
