Abstract
A display device is disclosed. In one aspect, the display device includes a substrate including a display area, the display area including a plurality of pixels configured to display an image and a pad area adjacent to the pad area and configured to transfer electrical signals. At least a portion of the pad area is bendable. The display device also includes an insulating layer formed over the substrate and including a bending groove in the pad area. The bending groove includes a sidewall. A plurality of peripheral wires is formed over the insulating layer, and a cutoff portion is connected to the sidewall and disposed between adjacent peripheral wires.
