Display device

A display device comprising:

• a first conductive layer disposed on a substrate, the first conductive layer including a first scan line and a second scan line;
• a buffer layer disposed on the first conductive layer;
• a semiconductor layer disposed on the buffer layer, the semiconductor layer including an active layer of a thin film transistor;
• a gate insulating layer disposed on the semiconductor layer;
• a gate electrode of the thin film transistor, which is disposed on the gate insulating layer;
• an interlayer insulating layer disposed on the gate electrode;
• a third scan line disposed on the interlayer insulating layer, the third scan line overlapping the first scan line and the second scan line;
• a scan contact hole disposed in a first overlap area where the first scan line and the third scan line overlap each other, the scan contact hole passing through the buffer layer, the gate insulating layer and the interlayer insulating layer in a thickness direction;
• and
• a recess pattern disposed in a second overlap area where the second scan line and the third scan line overlap each other, the recess pattern defined by at least one of the buffer layer, the gate insulating layer and the interlayer insulating layer, and including a shape recessed from an upper surface to a lower surface of the interlayer insulating layer.

A display device comprising:

• a plurality of first scan lines extending in a first direction;
• a second scan line extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction and overlapping the plurality of first scan lines;
• first overlap areas where a subset of the plurality of first scan lines overlap the second scan line, the subset of the plurality of first scan lines being electrically connected with the second scan line in the first overlap areas;
• second overlap areas where another subset of the plurality of first scan lines overlap the second scan line, the another subset of the plurality of first scan lines being electrically insulated from the second scan line in the second overlap areas;
• and
• an insulating layer disposed between the plurality of first scan lines and the second scan line, defining recess patterns having a shape recessed from an upper surface to a lower surface in the second overlap areas,
• wherein a number of the recess patterns is greater than a number of scan contact holes.
