Display device

A display device comprising:

• a base substrate including a pixel area at which an image is displayed;
• a light blocking pattern on the base substrate;
• a thin film transistor on the light blocking pattern;
• a gate line connected to the thin film transistor, the gate line defining a length thereof extending in a first direction;
• a data line connected to the thin film transistor, the data line defining a length thereof extending in a second direction crossing the first direction;
• and
• a pixel electrode in the pixel area and spaced apart from the gate line in the second direction,
• wherein the light blocking pattern comprises:
• a first light blocking pattern defining a length thereof extending in the first direction, the first light blocking pattern overlapping the gate line and the pixel electrode spaced apart from each other in the second direction;
• and
• a second light blocking pattern of which a portion thereof overlaps the thin film transistor.
