Claim 24:
25. A display device comprising:
a substrate including an active area having a plurality of pixels and a non-active area disposed on a periphery of the active area and including a pad region;
a pad electrode including a first pad electrode having a plurality of first sub-pad electrodes disposed on the substrate and spaced apart from each other in the pad region, and a connection pad electrode connecting adjacent first sub-pad electrodes of the plurality of first sub-pad electrodes, and a second pad electrode having second sub-pad electrodes disposed to overlap the first sub-pad electrodes and spaced apart from each other; and
a first insulating pattern including sub-insulating patterns which are disposed between and overlap the first sub-pad electrodes and the second sub-pad electrodes and are spaced apart from each other,
wherein each of the sub-insulating patterns includes a contact hole passing through the first insulating pattern in a thickness direction,
the second sub-pad electrode is electrically connected to the first sub-pad electrode through the contact hole, and
a thickness of the first sub-pad electrode is greater than a thickness of the connection pad electrode.
