Display panel having conductive members contacting pad at opening in display panel layer

A display device comprising:

• a display panel including:
• a base substrate,
• a first pad on the base substrate and through which an electrical signal is provided to the display panel from outside thereof, the first pad having a planar area, and
• an insulating layer between the first pad and the base substrate;
• a circuit board electrically connected to the display panel at the first pad, the circuit board including a second pad facing the first pad;
• and
• a plurality of conductive members which are between the first pad and the second pad which face each other and electrically connect the first pad and the second pad to each other, the plurality of conductive members each facing the base substrate with the first pad therebetween and each within the planar area of the first pad of the display panel,
• wherein
• a contact hole is defined in the insulating layer and corresponding to the second pad of the circuit board,
• the first pad covers the contact hole in the insulating layer,
• the second pad includes a first portion corresponding to the contact hole and a second portion which is adjacent to the first portion,
• a space is defined between the first portion of the second pad and the first pad, and
• the second portion of the second pad contacts the first pad.
