Display device having integral capacitors and reduced size

A display device, comprising:

• a display panel including a display area in which a plurality of pixel units are positioned on a light-passing substrate and in which a non-display peripheral area is also disposed on the substrate and adjacent to the display area;
• and
• a gate lines driver positioned on the substrate and in the peripheral area and including a transistor and a capacitor,
• wherein the capacitor is formed to overlap the transistor with a first insulating layer interposed between the transistor and the capacitor,
• each pixel unit respectively includes a respective switching element, a respective pixel electrode connected with the switching element, and a respective portion of a common electrode coupled to provide a common voltage,
• the pixel electrode and the common electrode portion are positioned above the first insulating layer, wherein
• the capacitor includes a first electrode and a second electrode which overlap each other with a second insulating layer interposed therebetween,
• the first electrode of the capacitor is positioned at a same layer as that of one of the pixel electrode and the common electrode portion, and
• the second electrode of the capacitor is positioned at a same layer as that of another of the pixel electrode and the common electrode portion.
