Display device with improved seal and a method of manufacturing the same

A display device comprising:

• a display panel configured to include a first substrate having a gate line and a data line, a second substrate facing the first substrate and a binding member positioned between the first and second substrates to combine the first substrate with the second substrate, and to display an image based on a driving signal;
• and
• a circuit unit formed in the first substrate and configured to output the driving signal to the gate line based on a plurality of signals received from an external device,
• wherein the circuit unit includes:
• a first circuit unit coupled to the gate line and configured to provide the driving signal to the gate line;
• and
• a second circuit unit spaced apart from the first circuit unit and configured to drive the first circuit unit based on the plurality of signals received from an external device.

A method of manufacturing a display device, comprising:

• forming a first substrate including a gate driver formed in a sealant area enclosing a display area and a reflective member formed in a peripheral area adjacent to the sealant area;
• forming a binding member in the sealant area;
• positioning a second substrate substantially parallel to the first substrate;
• and
• providing light from a rear of the first substrate to cure the binding member and couple the first substrate to the second substrate, wherein the light is reflected by the reflective member to reach the binding member.
